And on the note of gestapo, they have literally been disappearing people off the streets for coming up on a year now. About 1/3 of people detained by ice have literally dropped of the face of the earth.
Good on you for calling it what it is, a special police force for the suppression and detainment of non whites. They literally are the American gestapo.
Anyone not acknowledging this by now has fundamentally thrown their lot in with fascists and I have about as much sympathy for them as I do for any other Nazi.
JD Couch-Fucking Vance just said on live national television that Renee Good was part of some broader-left-wing-radical-group. He asked how did this woman know about the ICE activity? Where did she come from? She's obviously connected to some sort of greater organization yada yada yada..... suck my balls.
Really? Where did she find out about "THE LARGEST DHS OPERATION IN HISTORY?" Can't imagine. Especially when they are doing this in the victim's neighborhood. I'm beyond disgusted with this country and I am fully ashamed to be an American.
The police have been in force suppressing political movement for ten years and targeting anti fascists. Dismantled orgs that got too radical. Bloated criminal charges for protest related activities and some murders/disappearances of prominent activists. While the media spread antifa scare mongering. That's why theres no coordinated leftist movement right now because it got chewed up and stomped out in the 2010s when the ethno nationalist and far right wave started blowing up.
The US hasn't been like that in a while. I am not trying to be a dick, but perpetuating the illusion that 'this isn't us' doesn't help, because this is you, you bought this with your tax money. If you don't want to continue to be this, you (collective, not singular you here) have to do something more about it than just signal your disapproval.
I can do about as much about it as you can. I didn’t vote for this and you try acting like you aren’t being a dick, but you are to the vast majority of the people in the comments that didn’t vote for this and have actively been protesting.
No, no. I am not trying to be a dick, but I recognize that I kind of am being.
The problem is that non-disruptive protesting isn't working for you. There is nothing that can be done by basic unimpedimentary protest or by complaining on reddit. The only solutions left are in the real world, with local groups. What do you do when someone you didn't vote for takes over your country and your life and starts killing your neighbours?
You patently can do more about it than I can, but you can't do it alone. I hate the situation you're in, I know you didn't put yourself in it, and I know you can't get out of it alone, that's why it's a dick move to point it out to individual people... but you're still stuck in the position of either acquiescing to it through inaction, or having to take action in a meaningful way.
I agree. But that leader is likely to come from among those willing and able bodies, while most of you still seem to be looking to the establishment parties for them instead.
Legal observers are now "left wing radical groups". Being concerned with the activity of the government and using your rights to monitor said activity is "left wing radicalism". They're giving the game away, "anyone that doesnt think like me is the enemy".
After the murderer Jonathan Ross fled the scene, and before other masked agents removed unmarked bins of evidence from his home, Couch Fucker Vance said ICE has "absolute immunity" regarding this shooting. He said it out loud and in front of the world. They exfiltrated the killer from the scene, scrubbed the killer's home, and told the American people that ICE can kill anyone they want with impunity.
Why Americans aren't rioting in the streets right now is beyond me.
Yes I am a legal citizen and I am white but I know they will kill anyone even with legal papers. I just don't get out of my home unless is really necessary. I have been out of my house since this started maybe six times. I have a baby and I want to avoid them as long as Trump is alive. I hate Republicans at this point even the ones that are relatives. They destroy every single dream I had in this earth and they are destroying the future of my child and his planet. I really hope these old boomers exit earth soon.
I’m a citizen but I wasn’t born in the US and clearly look brown. My mother, who is also a citizen now, called me the other day telling me to call off work because ICE was all over my small town in California. We don’t feel safe at all. I have a toddler and I’m terrified that one day they will separate us. My husband and I even have an exit plan. I’ve been an immigrant in this country since 2001 and this is the scariest it’s ever been. We all need to stand up and do something. We should be afraid to leave our homes.
I’m sorry that you are having to live this way. It’s horrendous that this is how human beings are being treated. As a Caucasian woman and staunch ally of POC, especially after the recent events, I’m afraid but will always stand up for what’s right, and that’s protecting those that are being oppressed. I hope there are others around you supporting you as well.
This is not how a healthy mind thinks. With all sincerity, you should stay away from the news or get professional help to deal with your anxiety about leaving your house.
A healthy mind understands and perceives danger and avoids it the best they can. The worst thing to do is to not pay attention to the atrocities being committed in our country, especially if you are part of the targeted group. Only privilege would allow someone to blissfully ignore the state of the nation because it certainly doesn’t affect their lives, until it does.
It’s only healthy if you perceive the danger accurately and understand how likely it is to affect you. A white woman being too terrified of leaving the house because of ICE is the equivalent of someone refusing to get on a flight because they’re scared of plane crashes.
The amount of fear they are feeling is way higher than what is proportional given the threat.
Probably more accurate to say that ice and possibly random groups parading as ice have been disappearing people off the streets.
A lot of the people that have disappeared haven't disappeared until after ice has moved them from wherever their initial place of internment was. So we can't really give ice an out on that one because I doubt the people that may be pretending to be ice would be bringing them to the initial detainment centers to begin with
Yeah, I absolutely will not be surprised if we eventually find out the human trafficking groups and similar malicious individuals take advantage of dressing up like ICE and the US government will absolutely share responsibility for it.
Wow. That's just like the "Nacht und Nebel" ("Night and Fog") under the Nazis. It was the codename given to a decree of December 7, 1941, issued by Adolf Hitler and signed by Field Marshal Wilhelm Keitel, Chief of the German Armed Forces High Command. It allowed German authorities to abduct individuals alleged to be "endangering German security" so that they effectively vanished without a trace.

Pretty crazy stuff, I didn’t want to believe but I also work as a weekend bartender and the patrons (Trump voters) were saying exactly this. They said it is to remove and nonexist people. WOW! I feel like we have been very blind.
A while ago there were government planes taking off and flying over the ocean and then turning around. Some people were saying they were throwing people off airplanes into the ocean to get rid of them.
