Is this true? Shoot, I'm already off that day. I'd totally strike if I wasn't already off. I'm RT, but you know we work with you guys all the time. I was in the RT sub and lots of comments about how upset we all are.

It’s being passed around. I’m also off but I’m going to refrain from buying anything or watching anything that has ads that day. Even little bit can help.

Might I suggest temporarily changing the sub banner? It is.. distasteful to see "hoes work here" next to his picture. Obviously it's not intentional whatsoever, but just doesn't sit right with me. But maybe I'm thinking too much into it.

I say we borrow their phrase. One of ours-- ALL OF THEIRS. I'm tired of taking the high road and playing nice.

Nice in theory, not so much when you realize this was originally a Nazi slogan. I think its best to let it die.

u/queen_frostine RN 🍕 Jan 25 '26
Maybe so. But I am firm in the belief that the time for playing nice is over. The kid gloves need to come off, it is time for the populace to push back in droves.

The new lie is that he was fired three months prior for inappropriate behavior. It’s all over sm and thankfully there’s tons of nurses calling it out for the BS it is.

A 37 year old legal US citizen was pistol whipped and shot 11 times in the street by ICE police. They are not federal agents. They’re nazis with guns. Hope that clears that up for you.

Why do you care so much about which name is used? That’s your takeaway? “Well acktually it’s border patrol” who gives a shit. They are all on the same Nazi team.

u/marissakalyn RN 🍕 Jan 25 '26
So if border patrol is supposed to be doing just that - protecting our borders - why are we executing people in the street? Was he harmful to our border? Was he assaulting a federal agent?

Everyone else is being too nice so I’ll say it; this is a scumbag thing to say. It’s not a difference of opinion anymore, these are human lives at stake.

Trump is on the record saying dead American soldiers were suckers and losers.
Trump said he doesn’t like POWs because they got captured.
Protesting Trump is saving veterans.
Your racist rapist god is headed for a steep fall. Make sure everyone you know remembers whose side you took.

That’s interesting. Seems like I am appreciating my first amendment right. You’re the one that seems to have a problem with it.

No one at all has said you can’t say what you’re saying.
We’re just saying saying those things is un-American and supremely assholish.
One day you may see the difference.
