Grocery store yesterday - never assume

An employee stated he was familiar with Thom Hartmann in the past. I assumed he was on our side so I mentioned that it’s time to call our representatives to not fund ice until ice obeys our laws. Knocked off my feet when he said he’s ok with ice because of all the illegals.. I asked if he’s ok with disabled American citizens being pulled out of their cars on their way to a doctors appointment. His reply was he’s not ok with that, but it’s all those illegals. Same answer when I brought up veterans being detained, people having their doors smashed in with no warrant. It’s not ok, but those illegals was his reply to everything.

These nazi sympathizers have phones too. We need to overwhelm our representatives with calls demanding they stand up for democracy.

A caller to Thom Hartmann’s show yesterday had the brilliant idea if we do get the house/ senate back that we demand that people are reimbursed for the damages they received from ice , and that the funding for that come out of ice’s budget.

     There does not exist a world in which a grocery store employee would take the time or the trouble to have a political discussion with a customer pointed enough to include minor radio personalities.

     Having said that, I do not see how a discussion with a grocery clerk is a novel call to action for contacting representatives. If we've learned anything since the 80s or so, if the culture has instructed us of any one thing to which we can all agree yet which cannot be helped or altered in any way, it's that there is no point in contacting congressional representatives about anything, ever. It's precious that these people still think calls to Washington and letters to the editor have any effect on any outcome whatsoever. I sometimes envy their insistence that we are still in 1971.

Working Americans must be denigrated.

Drama queen much?

Like all Hate-ICE stories, the context that falsifies the narrative is omitted, because agenda.

Thom Hartmann isn't as fossilized as his social and political views?

Debunked "deep fake".

When I worked in a grocery store many years ago in the dark ages, I sure as hell didn't have time to talk to anyone about anything and if I did, I would probably have gotten chewed out as I should have. The only time I got to talk to anyone was with my fellow employees and that was not alot that didn't concern what we needed to be doing.

Woman dragged from car by ICE agents in Minnesota ID’d as LGBT and racial justice activist

https://nypost.com/2026/01/14/us-news/woman-dragged-from-car-by-ice-in-minnesota-idd-as-lgbt-and-racial-justice-activist/

The screaming woman who was filmed being pulled from her car by ICE agents in Minneapolis has been identified as a tech guru and LGBT and racial justice activist who describes herself as a “friendly neighborhood deniable asset.”

Aliya Rahman, a software engineer with a lengthy background in coding, has backed policies for police-worn body cameras and also has prior ties to multiple advocacy groups, including a decade-long history with the Black Lives Matter movement.

Rahman was thrown into the spotlight after viral footage showed federal agents breaking her car window and yanking her out on Tuesday after she apparently blocked ICE vehicles during a protest — less than a week after Renee Nicole Good was fatally shot nearby.

The driver was caught on camera shouting that she was “disabled” and claimed she “was just trying to get to the doctor” as multiple masked federal agents cuffed her and escorted her away in chaotic scenes.
...
By the time she was 6 years old, Rahman knew she was “definitely different” and later identified herself as “genderqueer” — in a country where homosexuality is punishable by imprisonment.

Rahman moved back to the US for college, having determined she “probably shouldn’t stay” in Bangladesh while she grappled with her queer identity.

No mention of the disability she claimed, and she was blocking the ICE agents with her vehicle, not driving somewhere.

In my 55+ years, I've never had a single person mention Thom Hartmann's name in real life. Only at the DUmp and our responses.

The douche is a big-time left-tard with laughable assertions of fact that DUmmies lap up like little piggies. What a hero.
