    They were masked, in plainclothes, and unwilling to show official ID or give a reason for kidnapping people.

    This woman is a hero for “interfering” with their Nazi agenda.

    I’m sounding like a broken record even to myself, but again: until there are consequences for actions like these (and there will be none), they will continue and escalate. I think US is way past the possibility of legal consequences, so the only way is people banding together and providing consequences on their own. Sadly, I don’t see that happening either…

      people are still too coddled by thier current creature comforts, in most places, ice hasnt hit them yet, so its out of sight out of mind, and surely they wont hit wealthier areas either. as long as ice or trump doesnt invade on rich areas, hes in the clear to do as he pleases.

      I 1000% agree with you. I’ve been stocking up on ammo but nobody else around me seems to agree. They think waiting until midterms will change things.

      It won’t.

        I think preparing for violence is smart, but I don’t support starting it at all until you have at least a majority of the public in your organized faction, with support from trustworthy allies abroad.

        I think a good lesson to learn is from the Spanish in the 1936 Civil War. You can have all the revolutionary spirit in the universe and be up against literal nazis but life isn’t a story book and you can still lose.

        That said, you might not have to wait long for the other side to start the violence, as Trump just took control of Capitol Police and is talking about mobilizing National Guard on blue states.

    This is all terrible. I’ve noticed there’s often a money making theme behind these stories. The woman in the video said to have water she would have needed to buy a cup. I saw a video a while back about a British woman trying to exit the US only to end up detained by ICE. For her release her family needed to pay a large sum of money from a US bank account.

    This feels like concentration camps, but instead of murdering people for gold they’re now holding people to ransom.

    Cruelty is the point. I hope we can put all involved on trail and that we can say fuck that to the defense of “just following orders” will not fly.

    People need to fight back. I don’t know the best way to do that. Unfortunately, many platforms are owned by the rich who don’t care about this, and collaborators that are happy to “removed by mod” anything too spicy.

      Perhaps if people formed groups. Like one group of three hundred people, another group of three hundred and eight people, another big group with five hundred and fifty six people, and like nine people to hand out fliers. Then you replicate that many times. Something like that could really make a big music festival.

    In June, a deputy U.S. marshal was briefly detained in the lobby of a federal building in Tucson, Arizona, because he “fit the general description of a subject being sought by ICE,” the U.S. Marshals Service said in a statement.

    What did the ALIEN expect? To be GIVEN water?

    WE HAVE NO THINGS TO GIVE TO ALIENS.

    ALIENS MUST PAY FOR THEIR OWN WATER. NOTHING IS FREE.

    ALIENS COST US BILLIONS OF DOLLARS EACH SECOND. DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH A PATRIOTIC ICE AGENT COSTS?

    They are FAKE CITIZENS WITH FAKE IDS AND THIS IS ALL FAKE NEWS!

    (/s if not obvious enough)
