    This is what your grandparents fought and died for to prevent from ever happening again.

      It was pretty much still happening in the South while those grandparents were busy fighting it elsewhere. And it continued to happen in the US south for decades after WWII.

    Actually heard from a colleague there that he was actively doing just that, at least a few weeks ago. Complete with the cloak and dagger about coordinating it offline and avoiding active patrols and protests that would similarly draw too much attention.

    Yes, awfully 1930s German scenario that happened there.

    Still waiting for US citizens to organize a nationwide strike that doesn’t end until ICE terror ends. What’s it gonna take?

      The system is rigged against this. The majority are 2 weeks away from lights out or kicked out.

      The problem is that most of us that would protest are not in a financial position to do so. If I participate in a work strike, I won’t make the money I need to pay my bills, I’ll be evicted, I’ll go hungry, I won’t be able to feed the family or the pets I will go destitute long before actual change happens. I’m not just making sacrifices, I am making that decision for my whole family. And that’s just the surface level changes. I cannot afford to leave where I am currently. I believe that is all by design and I am not even close to the minority situation.

        Yeah, its not a viable option for everyone. Clandestine methods are an option.

        In France, they light things on fire.

        I guess US citizens are then in a financial situation similar to what US foreign policy has encouraged in several regions of the world.

        Anyone can downvote all they want, but US interventionism has had terrible consequences that most US citizens are not even aware of, yet people push back, they resist, despite much greater poverty than most people in the US have to suffer.

        I’m confident that US citizens can eventually do something concrete against their most recent criminal regime, of which there have been many. We haven’t even yet seen the level of pushback that was mounted during the war on Vietnam, and armed thugs are out there killing your citizens and kidnapping people off the streets.

        I just hope that pushback comes sooner than later because history shows us that people outside the US tend to suffer much more due to US policy than people inside the US.

    The correct answer is… “I’m getting groceries, show me a judicial warrant or fuck off.”

    It’s unbelievable that Minnesota Dems are trying to push though some of the worst gun grabbing legislature of the century. At the time nazis are literally at the front steps.

      I think that tells you everything you need to know… It’s a big club and you ain’t in it! Time to form a new party for the working class.

    “In the United States of America”.

    The birthplace of freedom and democracy. The beacon of light and justice in the world. So strange that it is happening over there. Who could have seen this coming?

    One could expect this to happen anywhere, but in the United States of America? No way.

      Even the American left has had their national exceptionalism so deeply ingrained that they cant stop screaming “We’re number 1!” while they are drowning.

      Thats why they were the perfect mark. The idea that it could happen to them was so preposterous.

      What ICE is doing now is just a louder and more brazen version of what they have been doing since their inception.

      I really prefer when people write “/s” for sarcasm. With Poe’s Law and all it is virtually impossible to distinguish sarcasm on the written internet.

        I know, I usually do.

        But with this I thought it was laid on thick enough so the people who read it as sarcasm read it as sarcasm and the people who don’t deserve to live in confusion.
