Policemen don’t wear face masks. ICE is a right-wing goon squad carefully deployed to destabilize civic society. Abolish away. But one of my neighbors is a county sheriff who regularly risks his life to make this county a better place to live and raise a family. He wears no mask because his is an honorable profession. There’s a difference. 2026-01-24T23:28:34Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs8vqmrjtvx6wuhlayk4e3f22huz08z7f6fevuwwneyhufhl693hlszyrh08avnr0zk2uz3ukhm94xaepaph7za0m09dx3fxrgahdfe7qqaypygxzt In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsf0xyzt42zqz45mj4g45qjcx56207f8ghs3dtljx3sptp7rug7amc3rd098'>nevent1q…d098</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>fuck ICE.

This uncontroversial opinion of mine has people calling me a Nazi and a fascist collaborator today, while activists can fling whatever abuse they wish, their success will be limited so long as they persist in the delusion that America will ever abolish its police 2026-01-24T22:00:38Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsq9gswlh3l5vja3mhgtfveyhx34fpw6rq3q2dlycfh7ul3luxq5kczyrh08avnr0zk2uz3ukhm94xaepaph7za0m09dx3fxrgahdfe7qqaywmxanw In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsq5j97qjztd5tqj08vg9f2mfnp7rk597u3cw9gh7mqq5cnwa7putsp92dq2'>nevent1q…2dq2</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I can’t speak to their parentage, but I’ve known some good cops. As for your observation on veterans, though I’ve known plenty more good soldiers, my own particulars might tend to confirm your thesis ;-) When I enlisted, I thought I was joining the “good guys” to fight the “good fights” against the &#34;Hitlers&#34; of the world.

Let’s quit promoting false dichotomies - We can control our borders without ICE. We can make our streets safe without masked thugs shooting citizens in the face. The problem isn’t the what, it’s the how. 2026-01-24T14:34:52Z
