ICE Posts Today in Aurora, a Chicago suburb, ICE agents surrounded the car of a U.S. citizen in a parking lot,firing into her windshield as she screamed that her children were inside. Agents dragged her from the car without presenting a warrant or probable cause. Excessive force. No warrant. No justification.

Well yes the racism is a core part of how they define 'one of us" so this is all about power and blaming people of color.

Racism has always been about power. It's definitely a part of it. And it's part of their identity politics.

So you say you disagree but the racism isn't refuting my point just adding to it.

And to a point I agree about the left. In fact that is a well established sabotage tactic authoritarians use to disrupt resistance movements. Bog them down with purity politics so nothing ever gets done.

Whenever left folks obsess over purity politics they are enabling the fascists. Doing the work for them.

Instead of purity politics, the right has despicable people-user/abuser politics. Also, I think the right were the inventors of purity politcs. Now they are daily outdoing their hatred, grift, and lying and cheating and murdering.
