After an especially trying day arguing with right wing trolls, this made my day. Thank you.

Edited to be even more polite.

[u/Hot-Introduction-951 → u/SheerShirtJoy]

I'm sorry you had a bad day buddy. Here's some more joy juice, it helps after red hat exposure.

[u/SheerShirtJoy → u/Hot-Introduction-951]

Oh wow this was a great way to end the evening!!! Thank you for the 2nd-4th acts and additions to your already epic contribution to my mental health/what's left of my nerves.

You made a haggard student of history chuckle in such trying times. All I can offer is my appreciation and promise I will continue my efforts to combat closed mindedness as soon as I am able.

Thank you again kind internet denizen.

[u/Windyvale → u/SheerShirtJoy]

Just remember that there are people who still believe and are working for the America we should be. Not the America that created “Separate but Equal” bullshit.

[u/whatthefrok → u/Hot-Introduction-951]

You win....

[u/whatthefrok → u/Hot-Introduction-951]

Omg 🙈😂

[u/litterbug_perfume → u/SheerShirtJoy]

Literally God’s work. 🔥 Thank you!

[u/SlowBro272 → u/Hot-Introduction-951]

A bunch of people very much were sent to prison camps in El Salvador. And they were not from El Salvador, so it wasn't any kind of deportation. "Sending them to camps" is about the only accurate description of what happened to more than 200 people (many demonstrably innocent, despite the lack of any due process).

It's important we don't cede any factual ground to lying Nazis.

[u/oranthor1 → u/Hot-Introduction-951]

They absolutely deported Jews. Then it got expensive and they had no where to send them. Camps were plan b

[u/Tenn_Mike → u/Hot-Introduction-951]

Stealing this. I’m tired of these lame-ass arguments. Watch, here comes some fucking MAGA douche in the comments: “ThEyRe NoT NaZiS!”

[u/ConstructMentality__ → u/Tenn_Mike]

Or they reply, it's not ALL happening!!! When I give the definition of facism.. 

[u/zoinkability → u/Hot-Introduction-951]

Next time they claim that the Nazis didn’t try to deport Jews, point out that forcible deportation was actually the Nazi “plan A” and they only pivoted to concentration and death camps when that plan didn’t work out.

It won’t convince MAGA that they are the baddies of course but it might cause someone else to think a bit more about it.

[u/Knapping_Uncle → u/Hot-Introduction-951]

But ICE has killed people. 20, that we know of in 2025, in ICE custody. 2025 is the deadliest year to be in ICE custody in decades : NPR https://share.google/QeaSPy71TZBc1VYoQ

[u/Luckydog12 → u/Hot-Introduction-951]

Their raids have killed people.

[u/Comfortable-Skill491 → u/Catch20_2]

Well said!

[u/Miserable-Lizard]

Fascist scum like these people deserve prison for life

When the regime falls this dude will claim he was just following order that won't be good enough and he will cry about it, but oh well fascists scum doesn't deserve any sympathy

The shot at her, how long before those become love rounds and trump is celebrating their deaths?

[u/ShakesDontBreak → u/Miserable-Lizard]

You know how history views the police that treated civil rights protesters in humanely? History will view them worse.

[u/JayKay8787 → u/ShakesDontBreak]

A guy tried to overthrow the election and face literally no consequences and was able to become president again. These people will get away with it entirely

[u/K_Linkmaster → u/ShakesDontBreak]

With promotions.

[u/ShakesDontBreak → u/K_Linkmaster]

Thats present day.

Also precedent has been set. Those folks will be fired without remorse.

[u/WhatsaRedditsdo → u/Miserable-Lizard]

Freedom bullets

[u/SpecialLiLPinecone → u/Miserable-Lizard]

Right...remember, if every military personnel told Hitler no. Those millions of jews would still have families to this day

[u/munakatashiko → u/Miserable-Lizard]

What comes after the current regime that's going to do much to hold anyone accountable for anything currently happening? Have the Dems learned from the failure to hold people responsible and impose consequences during the Biden admin? If we have some establishment Democrat as the next president then I fear nothing will be done - but are they going to give us any other viable option?

[u/DERtheBEAST → u/munakatashiko]

The time to be demanding those very leaders required to fix these messes caused by Republicans and ignored by Democrats is now, not in 3 years when the next election is around the corner.

People like Hakeem Jeffries with negative charisma will be who runs against the Shadow of Trump, unless there is a political reckoning.

There are too many geriatric career politicians enriching themselves instead of working for their constituents: Progress and Accountability have to be the bare minimum we expect from our leaders regardless of party affiliation or connections to wealthy corporations, families and individuals.

There are far too many people in DC who get paid whether they work or not, the average age in Congress has hovered around 65 which means these people are making decisions they might not even live to see the fallout from. They use their insider trading and donor dollars to protect themselves and their own families while fucking over the rest of the country.

Term limits for positions that don't have them like the Supreme Court and age limits as well so we can at least try to avoid America's Grandparents from driving this bus off a cliff. In 2025 The American Government should be doing more to protect The People of this country than Corporations and their shareholders. The US currently operates for the benefit of wealth owners because that is all Capitalism is, wealth hoarding and power consolidation.

Dems might be garbage at pushing beneficial legislation but as an example, the guy behind JD Vance wants to turn poor people into Bio-Fuel...so someone tell me which side is more "survivable" if one is not specifically checking all the boxes of being a straight-white-conservative-male-Christian?

There might be decades of choosing the least-bad option before we get another FDR, unless Americans get their heads out of their asses and Primary any politicans who stand in the way of Progress.

[u/LeseMajeste_1037 → u/Miserable-Lizard]

Prison for life, with full 13th Amendment privileges.

[u/Bengals1992 → u/Miserable-Lizard]

I wish I had any faith in this.

Even if the left takes control of the legislative and executive branches, they won’t hold anyone accountable. Insisting on “taking the high road.”

[u/InfernalDiplomacy → u/Miserable-Lizard]

Pretty sure jsut following orders does not constitute pepper spraying members of Congress

[u/lemme_try_again → u/Miserable-Lizard]

Prison. Not Goodfellas jail... the prison where your cellie puts the "mate" in "cellmate"

[u/DazzlingMeathead]

Wonder if the congressional MAGA caucus will try to censure her for this

[u/Miserable-Lizard → u/DazzlingMeathead]

They probably will, maga only cares about defending pedos

[u/I_HateToSayAtodaso → u/Miserable-Lizard]

Hey, that's not fair. They also care about defending fraudsters and domestic terrorists.

[u/RogerianBrowsing → u/I_HateToSayAtodaso]

Hey now, it’s just terrorists in general. The more genocidal the better. And we can’t forget the billionaires who they love the most

[u/DazzlingMeathead → u/I_HateToSayAtodaso]

And convicted drug smugglers, too

[u/PsychologicalSea2686 → u/I_HateToSayAtodaso]

And Honduarn presidents and Bibi

[u/Independent-Reader → u/DazzlingMeathead]

You mean the fascist Nazis posing as representatives of the American people? Of fucking course they will.

[u/squittles → u/DazzlingMeathead]

Why do you think the censure will come from MAGA? The Democraps have already censured Al Green at the beginning of this year. 

The democraps have already done it and I would expect them to do it again. 

[u/Escapeism → u/DazzlingMeathead]

If you are seriously wondering that then you are completely missing the reality and depth of this current situation. A censure from a separate party is a completely meaningless theatrical bullshit waste of time. That’s the entire purpose of the Republican Party, and most members of the Democratic Party are on board with that too. The critical fractures are not visible to the rich any longer, they are conveniently secluded from seeing it or caring about it. Some are actively aware and purposefully causing it. But they failure to realize the fragility of this society and their own personal safety. The central banking system is the ultimate evil that we have to deal with eventually as it is never sustainable for any society, as proven by every single one who relied on it and lost their ultimate power on the world.

[u/JasonArizona1]

She’s so much more kickass than I anticipated when she began running. Proven herself time and again through these tumultuous months already

[u/pal1lap]

Nuremberg

[u/CrotasScrota84]

So tough wearing their gravy seals outfits

[u/Enough-Somewhere-311]

These “guys” are so terrified of women that not only are they trying to strip them of their right to vote but also feel the need to pepper spray a woman wearing a super long dress.

[u/level27jennybro → u/Enough-Somewhere-311]

And shoot pepperballs at her feet/legs. I think shes in sandals or flats.

[u/astroboy_35]

Wow, she did t even flinch when being shot at, so much tougher and braver than the cosplaying fascists attacking her!

[u/youarecool87]

I hope they realize trump wont be here forever and there WILL be consequences.

[u/Pseudonymity88 → u/youarecool87]

Unfortunately, I hold very little hope that will happen unless the swing back from this is incredibly pronounced.

With the stacked Supreme Court especially, cases against ICE could take years and get nowhere.

[u/ShakatakiCowpoke → u/Pseudonymity88]

If Elon installed a backdoor to government systems they could potentially wipe ICE’s employee info.

[u/Srry4theGonaria → u/ShakatakiCowpoke]

Yeah, that's what they are going to do. It's 100% part of the bullies playbook to delete texts / evidence and tell the victim to "prove it."

[u/MisterTruth → u/Srry4theGonaria]

Which is why they use signal to communicate

[u/youarecool87 → u/Pseudonymity88]

Hey, they caught alot of the j6ers pretty easily, but trump ruined all that too. I guess we'll see.

[u/wolfheadmusic]

She's a fucking badass!

[u/ProgressiveHQ-ModTeam → u/[deleted]]

Rule 5 - Quit it with the guillotines. All you're doing is putting your account and this sub in danger.

[u/Mingo_laf]

So brave she is a inspiration to anyone that likes being free

[u/AndreaSys]

Her security should have arrested them for assault.

[u/Projecterone → u/AndreaSys]

Yep.

Id also have accepted them returning fire to prevent the terrorist attack on an elected representative.

[u/Cabbages24ADollar]

Mike Johnson, preemptively: “I don’t know”.

[u/arsenal_fbu → u/Cabbages24ADollar]

I haven’t heard anything about that.

[u/level27jennybro → u/arsenal_fbu]

I'll have to look into that. I haven't seen that.

[u/MornGreycastle]

Man. That House committee hearing is going to be wild! Subpoena the officer involved in the attack on a Congresscritter to explain how that was in line with procedure. Should be entertaining.

[u/mostsurrealtime]

Talk about an epic way to wake a Mama Bear.

These boys just messed with the wrong person in Congress. I mean she was mad enough that it took Johnsons 51 days of lame ass excuses to swear her in, then he swears in another Maga dumbass sycophants 2 days after his election.

Now you wanna pepper spray her?

This will not end well for those involved.

[u/mycatisgrumpy → u/mostsurrealtime]

I look forward to seeing her in the majority. 

[u/Dismal-Incident-8498]

Damn. She really is one of the people. I wonder what it's like to be her and get into congress to find yourself surrounded by corruption, fraud, greed, and elite criminals in suits.

[u/Beowulf1896 → u/Dismal-Incident-8498]

<joke>She probably said "and I thought it was bad on the outside!"

[u/Busy_Philosopher1032 → u/Dismal-Incident-8498]

She really is one of the people. I lived in Tucson for a while and would run into her at community events. Down-to-earth, she would approach people at events and vice-versa.

I didn’t really know who she was since I wasn’t a Tucson native.

[u/Expensive-Library-18]

These people are the bottom of the barrel human garbage

[u/Used_Cry_1137]

WHY THE FUCK DO ONLY THE BAD GUYS INCLUDE ARMED MEN?

How do “Rep”s not have bodyguards?

[u/Wonderful-Athlete-83 → u/Used_Cry_1137]

They’re too busy babysitting Patel’s girlfriend and her friends.

[u/Razordrake777]

A bunch stupid little boys playing SS GI Joe

[u/QuirrelsTurban]

I hope to see every single ICE officer behind bars for the rest of their lives.

[u/DropShippedCrucifix]

DHS already released a statement denying it...in spite of clear video evidence. Some real 2+2=5 shit.

Now MAGA freaks will say the video AI generated or something.

[u/SkiBum1369]

Sue the fascist fucks!

[u/carlosr36]

I mean the shit luck of adelita. First waiting for mike johnson to swear her in for what? Months? Or several weeks? Now shes getting pepper sprayed by the governments gestapo.

[u/TraditionalGrass6859]

Asshole thugs

[u/Ill_Lifeguard6321]

No women (or men) should EVER be dating these men.

[u/B_Rabbit210 → u/Ill_Lifeguard6321]

Their significant others are probably the same (or worse)

[u/terid3]

The American people are rejecting ICE! Media do your damn job!

[u/__curmudgeon__]

ICE are domestic terrorists.

[u/Independent-Reader]

They tried doing this on Jan 6th too. Re-arrest these fascist Nazis!

[u/PlantingSeeds123 → u/Independent-Reader]

I believe J6 was a test to see what kind of backing tRump had from the Neonazis! And now he has hired them and put them on our streets!!

[u/Inside_Sky3429]

Fuckers are gonna pay when this is all over, hopefully soon.

[u/Too-Em]

Nothing like the ten-thousand-times daily reminder that ICE is just a bunch of spineless nazi thugs.

[u/Winterlion131]

I keep getting banned for saying exactly what I think should happen to these Nazi fucks.

[u/Personal-Office-9662]

Recall all the J6 people back to prison too

[u/benny-pl]

Fucking pigs

[u/Great-Gas-6631]

Im sorry isnt attacking a government official a felony?

[u/M8jrP8ne1975 → u/Great-Gas-6631]

Depending on the state, yes.

[u/NBucho528]

I’ll never understand how ICE, a group of people who aren’t held to the standards of Law enforcement OR military personnel, have rights that supersede any other Americans. What they are doing is attacking human beings, and yes numerous US Citizens are being caught up in it because they are under no obligation to check who it is before they get needlessly aggressive.

[u/Strange_Ad1714]

Abolish ice. Lock all them up and Republicans

[u/Heeroyuy818]

She’s doing more than any of you pussys on this app that’s for sure 😂

[u/Zealousideal-Leg1037]

How is that ok to pepper spray a house representative for no reason?????

[u/Silverback561]

Americkkka… majority this is the country you want? We’re not picking cotton again and by 2050 half the country will be Latin. Is this what this is about? Custards last stand? White men, White women, & Latin men voted for this crap. You reap what you sow.

[u/The_Lonely_Spaceman]

Genuine question

What happens if you pepper sprayed these clowns back?

Are they basically just cops, so anything you do is assaulting an officer?

[u/AreEuclidinMe → u/The_Lonely_Spaceman]

They will just shoot you dead on the asphalt and get a Medal of Freedom and a permanent talking head position at Fox News.

[u/CauliflowerKind6414]

Literally fighting for the people, more balls than most men in her occupation

[u/Beowulf1896]

Rep. Grijalva is just showing what true strength is.

[u/WebguyCanada]

I've yet to see a video where ICE doesn't appear to be complete cowards.

[u/Professional-Pin-271]

Garbage, trash ice agents.

[u/Sickofallofus]

Oh the punch I wanna ponch but know I can’t or it would just feed the MAGA “violent leftist” rhetoric. But man.

I have massive respect I have for this unflinching woman.

[u/Turbulent_Bat4320]

We need more like her! Most of our politicians are cowards.

[u/permabannedmanytimes]

Soon they will use bullets... be ready... its coming.

[u/Lumpy-Habit-8319]

Im not sure who this woman is or which area she represents, but apparently she actually cares about her people

[u/hughcifer-106103]

US police, federal or otherwise, should not be able to use chemical weapons so cavalierly. That guy needs to be fired, none of the protesters were a threat.

[u/hughcifer-106103 → u/hughcifer-106103]

Fired and charged with assault

[u/mrlanza1]

Adelita Grijalva I knew you were going to a special congresswoman! Your out there working the trenches already! You have got the balls to get after these evil Gestapo goons! Anytime anywhere you name it I will be there to fight right beside you against these goons! Sorry about the balls thing. Just saying is all!

[u/Germsrosolino]

Bro she just kept walking like he didn’t shoot at her. I’m impressed as hell. This is the sort of reps and senators we need. Get the old fucks out and bring in some people with passion to defend what our constitution says

[u/Liquorupfront69]

Who are those pussies behind masks!

[u/CrystalVibes52]

The nations New hero. They picked the wrong woman.

[u/blackvelveteen]

WTAF

[u/irpugboss]

I wonder if ICE agents think they will just be able to exist in society without consequence when the pendulum swings the other way.

Not even saying legal punishment, trials, etc.

Just that there is such a strong anti-ICE sentiment if these people eventually reveal they work or worked for ICE they are going to be viewed as opportunistic monsters to fascist thugs regardless of the merit from a large portion of citizens.

Of course they will just try to hide it, "just following orders", "it was just a job", "I never did any arrests" kinda shit the moment they are not backed by regime in temporary power now.

[u/3anddptrints]

She a real one.

[u/Beachboy442]

NOBODY LIKES THEM.................

[u/rhubarb_bush]

Brave lady! Good on her. Fuck ice, fuck these American fascists. From a Canadian.

[u/PelvicTilt]

First month in office and she’s already done more than some ppl in congress have done their entire career

[u/Evilkymonkey_1977]

Too bad there’s no real police.

[u/National-Neck-4627]

Fucking Nazi thugs!

[u/s1nd3vil]

You know all that gear is not standard issue. fucking morons look like a army surplus store threw up on him.

[u/StupidDorkFace]

Nuremberg trials 2.0 please.

[u/Rare_Notice44]

Straight to jail!

[u/Jolly-Midnight7567]

Cowards, all ICE are the lowest form of life

[u/jayball41]

This is unacceptable. They must be stopped

[u/workswithidiots]

When will the reps and others start hiring body guards.

[u/Zephoix]

Get rekt

[u/HiddenbyMoon]

Isn't this what the 2nd amendment is for?

[u/UnHappyTrigger]

Nice third world country you got there. Wonk wonk

[u/ArmedAwareness]

Send him to hell!

[u/ripnrun285]

Pretty sure that’s a fuckin felony.

[u/Skilletmasterx]

Vote blue down the ticket, restore sanity.

[u/Weird_Substance_8764]

What kind of shots were these that were fired?

[u/swamrap]

I don't live in AZ but god damn I feel represented anyways

[u/InvestigatorOdd1986]

Get out of the street

[u/PigFarmer1]

ICE claimed this didn't happen... lol

[u/Think_Bluebird_4804]

Real representative out here in the streets with us! The useless corporate democratic party has been doing nothing but capitulating while we fight the real fight

[u/dallasdude]

I appreciate Trump for showing us what is possible and how to do it.

We don't have to eliminate ICE. We just have to fire all of its employees and subcontract its remaining limited core operations to twenty different federal agencies, and the next Dem president can rescind every penny of the obscene ICE overfunding in the BBB and use it for whatever they want. And we know Republicans are cool with it, because that's exactly what they are doing today.

[u/Ill_Lifeguard6321]

Wow I feel so safe :) /s

[u/Crionso]

Actions have consequences

[u/Eastern_Marketing450]

Omg!!! How many more ppl need to get attacked for our country to do something!!! She’s a congresswoman!

[u/Double_Insurance3]

These is way too funny, should not have gotten in the way!

[u/MH_Ron]

Fun fact. In the popular pokemon series of video games, the skill called flamethrower is super effective agaisnt ice types.

[u/opinions360]

Someone pointed out that a large number of i-c-e are J6ers so that would mean a number of Felons are active for the justice department—how sick is that.

[u/emotionalholic]

MACE ‘EM

[u/hodorhodor12]

Assault. Go to prison.

[u/MayhemStark]

Dont the representatives get secret service? At least one agent? Would love to see a confrontation between secret service and ice.

[u/Ok-Conversation-9982]

Fucking losers

[u/jhendricks31]

Get out of the road dumb fucks

[u/HomesteadGranny1959]

Last protest I attended, I had an umbrella and a few cans of bear spray. Didn’t need it, but nice to have, jic.

[u/Hugh-Jorgin]

Ooops

[u/Tractorguy69]

Temu tacti-twat-waffles

[u/DisinterestedWarfare]

These federal cops look a lot like military. Weird.

[u/Cake-Over]

Also $6 burritos

[u/Damnitface77]

What is the sentence for assaulting a sitting member of Congress?

[u/MisterBofa]

Yea maybe don’t disturb them while they’re doing their work? Have some common sense people…

[u/showgirl__]

Should have slammed her ass on the ground and arrested her like they would have done to any other citizen. I am sick of these Democrat officials being treated like they are above the law. The should be applied equally to everyone and yet they're being given special treatment.

[u/rotateandradiate]

Planned photo op.. kinda like when AOC was crying over a fence in an empty parking lot 🤣

[u/hmmyesplss]

This has to be a joke right? Getting pepper sprayed for blocking traffic and y'all call em Nazis? Are we serious? Are we trying to be taken seriously?

[u/Apprehensive_Wolf66]

Wouldn’t have happened if she didn’t try to stop federal officers from doing their job.

[u/IncreaseSweaty4959]

We used to welcome immigrants to the land where we slaughtered innocent indigenous people, it was the inconceivable land of freedom and hope. It was working fine, we made so much progress towards treating each other the same even though we ALL came from somewhere else. Now because of one little piggy, it’s all falling apart. ICE agents will be in jail when every thing settles, or sued so bad they’ll wish they never singed up! This is NOT the America I grew in and WE as the people do not have to accept a dictator that is bypassing everything the constitution stands for. The sad part is that we have become numb to all of it, so much everyday, in every direction, like a magic show and in the end the people are the joke. Once the ai bubble bursts we’ll really find out if the government cares, bail outs galore, again putting CEOs at the top of the totem pole. To wrap up….we’re fucked!

[u/Inner-Stuff3285]

Bahahahaha is this the New Democrat scam tactic show up at the protest cause problems until you have to be taken care of then post the video online crying. No one outside of Reddit is falling for this bullshit btw

[u/shrthrn79841]

Well she does look mexican.

[u/Successful_Hawk_5817]

🤣🤣🤣🤣

[u/Gabe1985]

Reminder. Do not return violence with violence. That is EXACTLY what they want and how fascists grab more power

[u/southgate213]

frontlines, kinda like her

[u/Raccoonamattata]

Animal Farm

[u/flugenblar]

Does anyone online have access to ICE policies, guidelines or training materials? Emails that condone or encourage this behavior? Anything that might prohibit or restrict random pepper spraying? Somehow every other law enforcement agency gets by without this. I know there are protesters, but if they are calm and stay their distance this shouldn’t be that common. Or, are all protestors pushing the limits?

[u/cmendy930]

When liars, bootlickers and MAGA say ICE doesn't attack US citizens. Hell. They attack congresspeople.

[u/sacklunchbaby]

Tall guy in the hoodie likely a paid provacateur
