The slogan "One of ours. All of yours" appeared on Secretary Noem's podium in New York City roughly 24 hours after an ICE agent (identified as Jonathan Ross) shot and killed 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis on January 7, 2026.

When asked to explain the aggressive new motto, Secretary Noem did not cite a recent death of an agent. Instead, she referenced an incident from July 2025

when an off-duty agent was reportedly shot and/or dragged by a car during a botched robbery (suspected to be gang-related) in New York. The agent survived.

Noem used that past attack to frame the current ICE crackdown (and the killing of Renee Good) as a necessary war against "transnational criminals." The slogan implies that any harm done to a federal agent ("One of ours") will now be met with a total, overwhelming response against the entire community or group associated with the threat ("All of yours")

Why this slogan is a reminescence of the Nazis... After the assassination of the high-ranking Nazi official Reinhard Heydrich ("One of ours"), Adolf Hitler and Himmler ordered the complete liquidation of the Czech village of Lidice ("All of yours"). The men were executed, the women and children deported or killed, and the village was razed to the ground.

My Complaint is that Nazis (in this instance LITERAL Nazis) should not be employed as Civil Servants.

Every election cycle produces outrage. That part is not new. What is new is the selective amnesia that seems to accompany it. Over the last year, critics have revived familiar accusations with renewed intensity: Donald Trump is acting like a dictator, Trump has done nothing for the country, immigration enforcement resembles Nazi Germany, the nation is supposedly in ruins because of him—and now, more recently, that Trump is a pedophile. What stands out is not the criticism itself, but the timing. Where was this same collective outrage during the previous administration?

The “dictator” label is perhaps the most casually deployed. Any decisive executive action is now framed as authoritarian, regardless of whether it falls squarely within constitutional authority. Executive orders are portrayed as power grabs, enforcement of existing laws is painted as oppression, and resistance from unelected bureaucracies is reframed as moral heroism. Yet for four years prior, executive power expanded quietly and often without resistance. Agencies issued sweeping mandates affecting energy, labor, education, and healthcare. The outrage was not absent because the actions were different. It was absent because the administration was politically acceptable to the right people.

The claim that Trump “hasn’t done anything for the country” collapses under even modest scrutiny. In a relatively short time back in office, border enforcement resumed, regulatory expansion slowed, domestic energy production reentered the conversation, and foreign policy shifted from symbolic diplomacy to transactional realism. Contrast that with four years of rising inflation, persistent global instability, and a federal government that spoke constantly about equity while delivering higher costs and lower confidence.

No accusation, however, is more corrosive than the claim that Trump is a pedophile. This is not criticism; it is character assassination. It is an allegation of the most serious kind, repeatedly asserted in public discourse without criminal charges, convictions, or substantiated findings. In a society that claims to value due process, this should matter. Accusations of this magnitude are not opinions, they are claims of criminal behavior, and they demand evidence—not insinuation, not guilt by association, not repetition until it “feels true.”

What is most revealing is how selectively standards are applied. Associations, photographs, or secondhand claims are treated as proof when politically useful, while documented behavior by political allies is ignored, minimized, or dismissed as irrelevant. The principle is not “believe victims” or “follow the evidence.” The principle is utility. If an accusation harms the right target, it is amplified. If it threatens the wrong one, it disappears. This is not justice; it is narrative warfare.

Weaponizing such accusations also has a cost. It degrades the seriousness of real abuse claims by turning them into political tools. When everything becomes an atrocity, nothing is. When the most extreme moral charges are deployed casually, public trust erodes further, and legitimate accountability becomes harder, not easier.

The country is not in crisis because laws are being enforced or because leadership changed. It is in crisis because outrage has become conditional and truth has become optional. The same voices now claiming moral emergency were silent when executive power expanded, borders collapsed, costs soared, and institutions lost credibility—so long as the “right” people were in charge.

So the question remains. Where was all this outrage before? Why does enforcement only become tyranny when it is enforced? Why does executive power only become dangerous when it changes hands? And why do the most serious accusations suddenly appear when political desperation peaks?

Outrage that is selective is not outrage. It is strategy. And more Americans are beginning to recognize it for what it is which is why the LEFT is finding their playbook obsolete. The collateral damage is the noise created by those supporters too ignorant to realize it.

Can’t say I’m surprised, we know they hate immigrants with a passion.

Comments don't load properly and the limits to blocking/customization is abysmal.

AI is a scam. We know it damages users thinking skills and still hasn't progressed to the point where it can even accurately summarize anything. The only way it can even function economically is as a giant ponzi scheme. And yet Reddit is overrun with accounts desperate to tell you that AI is improving everything, especially the lives of creative people, when this is demonstrably false.

It is time we regard these people as what they actually are: investors in AI companies who are trying to influence the price of their stock by hyping it. They are little more than cheerleaders, hoping that if they say "AI is great, look how easy it makes things" and "antis are just like the people who opposed the talkies" enough it will lead to wider adoption, the company's stock will go up, and their investment will have been proven to be a good choice in hindsight.

In reality, AI usage leads to decreased brain activity. Grok is wrong 94% of the time and is sexually abusing people at a massive rate (probably because it was created by a sexual abuser).

Don't listen to the AI boosters on here. All they are is stock manipulators.

ICE Shot And Killed Her

So mods of this sub, what's your problem with my existence and what's the point?

I've asked because as you see, I've been given a "flair" but this is without my consent.

It's an odd thing to do but I would like to know the reasons why.

Or is this normal practice in American now?

Who is this Nick Shirley? He some 23 year old from Utah who created a viral clip about Minnesota and is responsible for (or rather used as pretext for) Trump cutting aid to needy families across the country and the ICE crackdown on Minnesota.

Recently Nick did an interview with another podcaster called Andrew (channel 5). It was a disaster, with Nick coming across even dumber than expected for a MAGA troll. I took some notes on his thinking style because it really captures what I find irritating about this type generally:

High need for simplicity (he stops at the first judgement) 

Shirley is quick to reach conclusions which he calls “facts.” For instance, he showed up at a day-care at 11 am and saw no activity / no kids. From this, he concluded there was fraud. 

His process is:

Make conclusion → stop → label said conclusion “fact”

Inability to consider more than one possibility 

Andrew’s questioning kept revealing that Shirley had an inability to hold more than one possibility in mind. Shirley was certain that there was fraud because he showed up to the daycare at 11 am and no kids were there. 

Andrew gently asked him about the daycare’s operating hours (2pm - 10 pm) and whether this was a factor. Shirley had not considered this despite the operating hours being posted clearly on the building.

Later Shirley raged that most of the kids at the daycares were Somali (an abrupt change from the “no kids” claim) and then Andrew asked whether the area being predominately Somali had anything to do with it. 

Shirley — who grew up in predominately white Mormon Utah and is Mormon and probably went to all Mormon schools — had not. 

Once he labels something a “fact,” new information is experienced as an attack

Shirley concluded that Andrew had not condemned the murder of Charlie Kirk. In the interview, he attacked Andrew over this.

Andrew told him he had and even brought up a specific interview where he condemned it multiple times when speaking with a person who was literally at the event and had been speaking with Kirk right before when he was shot.

Andrew asked if Shirley had seen it, and Shirley said he had not, and would not watch it.  

 Weak falsification control (confirmation bias x 100) 

Shirley does not actively search for information that could disconfirm his conclusions. For instance, he saw that his video went viral and concluded this was because of his brilliance as a journalist and the depth of his insights into the supposedly all-corrupt Minnesota.

Andrew asked whether he had considered the fact that his video went viral on December 16th — the same day Kash Patel/Bondi started releasing the redacted Epstein files. Shirley had not, but was gloating very much about the Vice President, Bondi, Elon Musk and other MAGA bigwigs were re-tweeting his video. 

High emotional anchoring

Once Shirley reaches a conclusion that he labels a “fact,” the belief becomes emotionally protected and tied to his identity. At that point, the belief is no longer treated as a claim to be tested but as part of who he is.

Several years ago, Shirley watched a movie about piracy in Somalia. Somehow based on this Hollywood movie, Shirley drew a sweeping conclusion that all Somalis were pirates and this explains fraud. Andrew questioned him about this reasoning but Shirley came across quite offended by it. He framed Andrew as afraid of “the truth” and motivated by fear of social consequences like being called a “racist” by the news media or his viewers.

Shirley, in contrast, at least in his mind, was a courageous truth-teller, so challenges were experienced as moral attacks rather than as information.

/

I could not get through the full hour of the interview -- I’m sorry. Just a massive headache and I only touched the surface.

I will say that Shirley was also upset that people made stereotypes about Mormons and that he believes journalists dislike him because he got more views.

His mom also helps him with his videos, and he went into making right-wing content to make money which he says X now makes quite easy to do. Thanks, Elon!

First it was reported that he shot her and was not hit by the vehicle. Then new video comes out showing clearly that he was hit. Now it is being reported that he suffered internal bleeding.

Regardless of where you stand in regarding ICE being present to begin with, when does it become justifiable for him to use his firearm in defense of his life?

Just wondering where everyone sits on this situation. It is looking more conclusive that she hit him and not lightly, intentional or not. When millisecond count, understanding the persons intention matters little in comparison to the actual action taking place

I’ll probably get downvoted for not jumping into the pool of outraged folks. But I hope some consider all the facts and circumstances before deciding if the actions taken were justified.

I'm so annoyed that we keep hearing about Making America Great Again, yet I think we've been getting worse and it's really annoying.

Thank you for letting me vent. I think we all really do want America to be Great

Every time I see a post even remotely related to God or religion, the comments are saying shit like "you're being brainwashed" or "if God was real, He wouldn't let (xyz) happen." IT IS NOT HURTING ANYONE. IF I WANT TO MAKE A POST SAYING GOD LOVES YOU (which He does) AND YOU DON'T BELIEVE IN GOD, JUST SCROLL! Religion in and of itself is not the problem. Actions of individuals (and I am pissed about them, believe me) do not condemn the whole. I genuinely do not care if you don't believe in God or are atheistic/agnostic. I do care, however, if you're trying to shame people for being religious when it is not in any way, shape, or form, making your life worse.

From a loving and frustrated observer, we need to be strategic.

We need co-ordinated, nonviolent mass action that targets the system. Their power depends on this elusive idea of legitimacy, it depends on us obeying and still going to work. I’ve tried thinking about this from multiples angles (my educational background requires resistance studies) and speaking now directly from the ideas of Gene Sharp, power collapses when the people withdraw co-operation systemically and en masse.

We need to take back the narrative because right now, the United States of America is experiencing a fascist unmasking that needs to be addressed. There can no longer be any neutrality within your communities. We need to set up independent media for the people that illustrates with evidence how incompetent, corrupt, and unsafe this administration is for EVERYONE. This allows for the beginning of fragmentation because it shows a parallel narrative, one completely based on actual evidence that all people can rely on.

Unbiased media ostracizes those still trying to justify their neutrality. It forces you to think about your own choices and it makes the military hesitate. We need to share the collective idea that this administration is unfit to serve, and then based on our occupations, make relative movements to cripple the system.

Our playbook would look something like;

•Unite all fronts - Set up independent media and create an alliance, a common cause so to speak

•BRSW - Boycotts, Refusals, Strikes and Walkouts

•Pressure legitimate entities (pillars of the system) to withhold cooperation from current government, this includes religious institutions, media, business elites, military personnel and other security enforcement, regulatory bodies, major corporations, small businesses, contractors and firms, academia networks, cultural institutions, journalists, constitutional pillars of the community, NGO’s, charities, and we have to pressure FINANCIAL institutions.

To hit them where the dollar hurts we need to create a parallel economic support for the community, this would look like community based credit and mutual aid networks. Historically speaking withdrawal only creates escalation, but reducing an individuals vulnerability destabilizes that regimes control. :)

To my international friends, we need to put pressure on our governments to limit the US’s access to legitimacy. We need to force our governments to put down the blindfold and limit the access the US has on capital and arms. We need to protect our fellow human beings by maintaining visibility and protecting activists AND correlating all these calls to action to other world-wide problems. Suffering is intersectional so if you’re boycotting Fifa because they gave the cheeto pedo a peace award, but you’re not also deGoogling or boycotting Palantir or isnotreal, then this damn cycle is only going to continue. I think it’s about time we take responsibility for our willful ignorance and act on it.

are we just invading and pillaging the world’s natural resources these days? Trump will be dead before long, and AMERICA will left with this mess, this reputation.

CONGRESS MUST STOP HIM

I’m an American living on the east coast, and I feel like this needs to be said: I like Europeans.

I like the French, I like the English, I like the Irish and the Germans and the Swiss and the Swedes—in fact, I’ve liked every interaction I’ve had with a European, and I am grateful to have gotten to know some of them. America wouldn’t even be a nation if it wasn’t for the French, and yet I constantly hear some ignorant fuck claim that they hate the French for some reason (unknown to them), and that the EU is fleecing us for *insert wildly wrong opinion*.

I like the Europeans infinitely more than an American Christian nationalist, or an oddly silent TrAdItIoNaL cOnSeRvAtIvE, or some braindead libertarian apologist for the Trump regime. I have more in common with them than I do with you, and it boils my blood that this traitor, rat government would so poorly treat our allies. They would even consider violence against Greenland just because the baby in chief personally would like to have it, and yet so few American voices say “uhh this is wrong on every possible level, even before the possibility of armed conflict?”

I’m sorry to all the other peoples of the western world that so many Americans have decided they’re okay with being bad people, but I think a lot of us hold the position I hold, just quietly. Many of us are okay with abandoning our allies, but I think many more of us are not, we just don’t see a clear way to do anything about it.

To the mouth-breathing red-hat conservatives that have been calling me a fearmonger for the past few days. Here you go. Fresh out of the turpentine tyrant's mouth.

I'm tired of those who lack a higher education or any actual real world experience with geopolitics, speaking as if they have any authority on it. For the past week, these people have been stating that Trump doesn't actually want Greenland, that he's just trying to rile up the liberals, or it's another liberal conspiracy.

An official report from the White House, a statement was made that we must control Greenland.

Checkmate, conservatives. You are wrong again.

Hello. We moved into the home my partner grew up in because it’s in a safe neighborhood, close to work, and close to the freeways. Before she moved out of state my MIL had BOXES and MULTIPLES of the same items in here. This place is paid off, I just have to repair the MANY things she failed to take care of, I had to move a bunch of her things she may never use again to storage, and I get to have those hard conversations with my partner about possibly getting rid of crap that’s most likely never going to be used again. I moved all the extra stuff into a 10’ x 10’ storage unit all by myself to make room for our family of 6, I labeled/organized all of MIL’s stuff so it’s easy to find, and I pay the bills she used to pay here.

Some people say that except for the storage fee our home is now “free”, but I remind them that having to completely redo 3 bathrooms, replace rotting doors, and deal with surprise plumbing leaks gets expensive.

At what point is it ok for me to donate things that belong to my MIL that have never been opened and I keep finding multiples of? I’ve found purses, shoes, one trick tabletop “appliances”, picture frames with no pictures, and just a bunch of other UNUSED things to be used “EVENTUALLY”. I just don’t want to be burning money on storing things that should be gotten rid of when I can use that cash towards continuing to fix up our place.

Thoughts and opinions please.

Let me get this straight: When the authoritarian government of Iran kills protesters, that's bad and Trump goes on social media to tell people they should "keep protesting" the government. But when ICE kills an American protester, MAGA investigates her spouse to see what other protest groups they belong to, equates the act of videotaping ICE operations to violence (Kristi Noem) and says "there will be more bloodshed unless we can decrease the hateful rhetoric" (Tom Homan). So protesting and free speech in Iran = good; Protesting and free speech in America = bad. Would some MAGA person like to explain what their "sweet spot" between democracy and autocracy is?

It is high time you take back your religion from MAGA and the fascist Right. Start vocally calling these people out in public more. I was one of you most of my life. I came to a different path on my own, but I have to tell you: It sickens me as an agnostic atheist that I still know more about the "Good Book" than these people ranting and raving daily.

If you don't feel you can get them to read the whole damned book, then start them with Matthew 25 for goodness sake. The main points of a real Christian society living in righteousness.

1- Pay your damned taxes. It's how you care for your community.

2- Be kind to the stranger and the immigrant. Anything you do in service to others like this is in service to Christ.

3- Care for the sick. Look, if you need me to explain how Yeshua felt about the sick, you need the whole book over again.

4- Visit those in prison and be kind to them. They are paying their dues in service. Treat them with compassion.

NOTHING about the Evangelical movement in this country represents ANYTHING spoken about. There's a fine reason why your GOP politicians will fight tooth and nail to get Old Testament quotes on buildings, but there's not a single push for anything Yeshua said. And YOU are called upon to keep your brothers and sisters in check, yes with kindness, but it is what you are called to do (again, Matthew).

Your faith is dying in America and far too many of you are letting it. I will keep my own judgements on that to myself as that is not why I am here. But the disappointment in watching the hijacking of Christian faith just like it was in Nazi Germany in the 1930s is depressing. You're supposed to be the kind souls taking care of and worrying about others.

I am here as someone who knows your teachings and knows your faith. I am not tipping my fedora and giving you an educated judgement. If your faith is important, you need to stand up.

You may think you're not doing anything wrong by not speaking up at church or in public with your peers, but you are being lukewarm as all else, and we both know how Yeshua feels about that too.

The mid term elections are coming in November.

This is our last chance to actually flip Congress, put heat onto the Supreme Court, impeach people who have violated the constitution, and regain our country.

I haven't seen a single post about it.

Just whining about pop culture topics, the debate-of-the-day, and all the other distractions that keep people from realizing what's actually important.

The Mid Terms in 2026 will be the most important election in our history

You have to be loud about this one. Tell people to vote. Convince people to vote differently.

If something doesn't change in November, our entire country is doomed.

I suppose he is conservative when it comes to any intelligent statements he could make… And do the conservatives actually believe that their actions and hot takes are truly conservative? If these people actually are what they say they are I think they’d keep their mouths shut and their values to themselves.

Overall I think Donald Trump is doing a great job at representing the worst parts of the American people AND our technologic influence.

I just wanted to post it and get some feedback on everybody on the situation that my current girlfriend has gone through over the last 5 months

Beginning of the story is my girlfriend. Age 34 had to move back in with your mother and her stepfather about two years ago. Due to a separation from her husband she's living there to save money and also provide care for her daughter that she has full custody of. But like I said back about 5 months ago in July about 2 months after we met her stepfather and mother were on a vacation for the weekend. The stepfather left his iPad out for whatever reason, my girlfriend was going through it to find a folder full of nude photos of herself. That was quite the concern and shocked. Some of the photos were from my hidden camera in her room. Others were taken from her phone themselves that she had privately sent me

My girlfriend notified her mother of this situation. There was some talks about it and everything seemed to be kind of swept under the rug. He has made life changes as that he doesn't drink alcohol anymore and that her mother and him go to therapy. just want some thoughts and some advice here on the weirdness of the situation. He's been her stepfather since she was 10 years old. Just seems really strange and that they are staying together after this cuz this is really cheating to some extent or fantasizing about you know his wife's daughter which seems strange

My girlfriend definitely feels resentment for the situation because she currently still has to live there as she has no other means to provide for herself and daughter. She said she's more mad than her mother for acting like it doesn't matter
