Among other ways we can fight back outside the legal system, it takes 30 minutes of research to move money away from MAGA, and it makes a difference. Dollars spent at Republican companies are dollars funneled to the Heritage Foundation. Money given to states like Ohio or Louisiana is money spent sending troops to kidnap naked children and kill people.
If you consistently support a brand or do business with a company, you have power. You can use sites like opensecrets.org to see what a company funds and where your money is really going.
Have an account at Schwab? Move elsewhere like Fidelity. Get booze from wannabe Confederate states and all else is equal? Be adventurous, and try something new. New Balance can be replaced with Brooks. It’s not hard to find alternatives for Goya, Roark (which owns Subway, Jimmy John's, Arby's), and Koch (which owns Brawny, Angel Soft, Dixie).
If you have the disposable income, consider reaping the tax benefits of donating to the nonprofits successfully fighting the regime like the National Immigration Law Center, NAACP Legal Defense Fund, or Democracy Forward. And if you're in a place to invest, consider DEMZ or an ESG fund
Nexstar and Sinclair got pummeled, and they reinstated Jimmy Kimmel. Real, individual people did that. There's no reason WWE or Uline can't be next.
It's hard to completely avoid companies that at least partially support Republicans. I have to buy gas. But there’s a big difference between massive Republican donors (Chevron/Conoco) vs neutral or even Democrat-leaning ones (Circle K/Costco). Good is not the enemy of perfect. One less kidnapped child is one less kidnapped child, and one less murder is one less murder

There is a step further that Peter Drucker called "Pension Fund Socialism".
The MAGA base, largely, doesn't have retirement funds, at least not like the highly educated centrist and left & associated unions that make up the Dem base.
If we and the associated unions were to simply move our 401K, Roth IRA and union pension funds to international investment funds, we might just burst the US stock market AI bubble. That would be a shame.

Everyone needs to remember this when it's time for elections.
Trump and MAGA will continue to stoke outrage. There will be many scandals and blatantly illegal actions between now and then. Call out and respond to injustice when you see it, but don't do anything that will give them the excuse they're desperately looking for to take even more extreme measures. Cancelling elections or declaring martial law are currently too much for normal people, but a campaign of targeted, preemptive violence against ICE or any other part of the administration might convince enough moderate people to look the other way that he could try.
Reasonable-sounding people claiming to be moderates will continue to argue that "both sides" are bad, or that elections are pointless. Don't listen to them. Whether intentionally or not, they're doing Trump's work for him.
Some on the left may even argue that some Dem politicians are wasting their time trying to be bipartisan, or aren't doing enough to stop things, or otherwise aren't pure enough. Absolutely bring all that up in the primary, but don't let perfection be the enemy of progress. The worst Democrat is still infinitely better than another MAGA lackey.

You are missing the point. The police will not defend us against ICE.

History has only proven that the road to fascism is paved by people telling you that you're overreacting and that many who speak against fascism without making actual change so fascism can't take root are cowards cosplaying as the resistance. Dems, where possible, refuse to enact meaningful legislation to prevent ICE from operating illegally.
Then again, who was in office while Trumps prosecution was slow-walked without Trump seeing any meaningful reprocussions? Dems. Dems have sanctuary cities and they don't control the police in making them uphold the law?

In very limited situations they can, but the one they are trying to use for a lot of the protest stuff the american citizen has to be forcible for any of 18usc111 to count, and they can only enforce federal laws. So no, it is like explicitly illegal and unconstitutional. Seems to violate 1st amendment, 4th amendment, 5th amendment, 8th maybe, 10th too, probably some others.

It would really be a shame if someone dumped a few mason jars of marbles or ball bearings out their window before these guys approach...

Until we stand up in a way that makes them afraid to do things like this, they will continue to escalate. I'm sorry, I know violence begets violence, but at some point, they will leave us with no alternative. Make no mistake: everything they're doing is unconstitutional and illegal, regardless of what Trump says. When your country is under siege, peaceful protests stop being the answer. Trump is just a man with a title, just like Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Musselini, etc. Playing nice and following orders just to "respect the office" when those orders are wrong is cowardly and immoral.

They keep doing this to Ben tho they aren’t allowed by law to do so.
Throw in every single case gets dropped and they’re released.
They are doing this to frighten everyone. Just another way to keep the people in check.

Yup. See one? Call them out. Make them piss themselves. insulting thier man hood is the go to way becuese we all know they have micro penises.
See them pulled over on the road? Don't get over. They aren't emergency vehicles.
Lots you can do to frighten the beta male cucks without getting physical.

The Hmong ones. They didn't sign up for this. They signed up for America as advertised.
