Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) targeted workers on produce farms in Ventura County Tuesday morning in one of the latest raids in Southern California.
As someone who was only just alive in 1985 though, I’m curious where you were in the US in 1985 and if you remember how big or widespread the news coverage was on the MOVE bombing?
I was in H.S. in 85… I don’t remember anything labeled MOVE bombing. Back then it was still big 3 networks for me, I had no cable. Everything was appointment TV including the news.
I’ll believe it when I see it. Police could bomb their own cities with plastic explosives and Americans won’t do anything about it.
I wonder how many mid-50s or older Americans are on Lemmy?
Definitely more or fewer than you think. Unless you’re absolutely phenomenal at guessing.
Us greybeards are here…
Hey, I have a little grey in my beard!

Thanks! Thats vaguely what I remember from the gulf war timeframe. I think we got cable a couple years after that.
You didn’t need to be alive when the MOVE bombing happened in order to know about it.
We used to actually learn about shit like this sometimes in public schools…
That’s true, and I did already know about it.
However, being 1 year old at the time it happened I wasn’t in a position to speak up about it or to “allow” it to happen unchallenged.
I mean its going to be streaming on all channels, all day today, tomorrow, and the especially Saturday.
If you aren’t seeing it, it might have more to do with where you are looking.
The protests won’t go far enough to make a difference and fizzle out like every other “movement” in American history.

None of them have done enough, but plenty have accomplished partial wins.
Of course they won’t, years of docile programming via reality TV shows, and ma sports!
