sounds like the United States
nothing new to report this is just same reposted news
sometimes the labels change but the narrative has always been the same here
Because Americans continue to protest. This is why he is sending military to US cities and talks about “enemy within”.
I bet these specific kidnapped children would take issue with your characterization. This is brand new. It just happened. The narrative may be similar to past events, and it’s definitely some believably awful American bullshit, but let’s show some empathy for the specific victims of state violence, while also criticizing the state for committing said violence. Dismissing the news as just more of the same only normalizes this kind of violence, even if that’s not your intention.
Just block these useless airbags with shit ass takes like this.
This is such a bullshit take. “Oh sure, American cops are brutalizing children now but did you know they also brutalized children before? Oh you didn’t? Oh, you aren’t completely numb to the encroaching totalitarianism of the American empire? You know it’s been happening for decades, right? Why bother being upset about it now when you should have been upset about it in the '70s? and by '70s I mean the 1770s lmao”
Seriously STFU with this. We know it’s been happening. The problem is that it’s still happening, and as long as it is happening it’s newsworthy.
Sure, enough.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tacoma_riot_of_1885
The mob marched Chinese residents to a railroad station and forced them to board a train to Portland.[2] In the following days, the structures that remained in the Chinese community were razed.[3] The event was the result of growing anti-Chinese sentiment and violence throughout the American West.
This organized action became known as the “Tacoma method”, and despite national and international outcry, it was used as an example of how to forcibly remove Chinese residents from cities and towns throughout the American West.
Amidst the vast and brutal history of racism and genocide in the US, it’s easy to forget that the only people to have been banned from the country by law were the Chinese.
vaguely heard about it, japanese people suffered a similar situation, but they fared much better, although many loss thier homes or business, i heard some good people kept thier farms alive until they returned.
I live in the PNW and had never heard of this event. About 20yrs ago I was considering buying an old house in Old Town and now it looks like that might have involved buying land stolen from Chinese residents after having been stolen from Native residents after … Thanks for the link.
Make sure you jump on the fascist “empathy is for the weak” train
“Bad” isn’t binary. Bad things happen in my country and in yours. Instead of writing it off or using it to dunk on other places, you could try to improve the world and make people’s lives better…
Nice job living up to the tag and shit-brown highlight I gave you like a year back
What Lemmy app do you use for that?
Sync for Lemmy
doesn’t look like voyager, but you can do it in voyager
They will continue to escalate, also. They need a reason to halt the midterms. If they succeed at raids without opposition they get rid of a lot of people they already don’t like, and if we fight back, tRump enacts
MarshallMartial Law. We were fucked as soon as SCOUTS said presidents were above the law…*Martial
Sorry, it’s important.
I half did it in jest and half because I’m just a lowly registry hive!
Lol got it
but Marshall also Matters
I’m thinking ICE was not given all that funding for nothing. They were probably already over-funded even before this year, and now they have multiples of what they had before.
Ghouls like Stephen Miller want to see that money spent on inflicting pain on others…
they just needed enough bodies, just incase people werent into targeting citizens.
Where are all those GUNS at America???
In the hands of the fascists, just as they’ve always been.
Anarchists and some varities of Communists/Socialists have guns but they’re overwhelmingly outnumbered by Liberals who embraced gun prohibition.
Surreal? No. Horrifying.
Wtf is going on? This is like Israel war in our own highly populated cities
It’s because Taco is a domestic enemy, probably put there by Russian influence. He’s effectively having the nation punch itself in the nuts.
Yes Palestine is a laberatory. Everything learnt there is exported back to the US and EU.
That’s because both Israel and the USA are run by fascists.
This is just my own speculation, but I think we are seeing a new group of techbros, for lack of a better term, jostle for their seat at the table. We as a nation have refused to expand our positions of power even though we’ve grown in size. For example, we have a capped number of Senators.
We’ve funneled so much new money into the hands of these tech elite they have near run out of places to spend it. So we have multiple private space companies, a booming apocalypse bunker industry, and why not buy a few representatives as well. My point is a bunch of Ayn Rand 1950s sci-fi loving man children who control resources as vast as they do present a terrible condition for democracy and human rights. We are just watching this power struggle between the old guard and the new kids play out in real time. And the women, immigrants, and LGBTQ+ communities are the first to be rounded up this time.
That’s what palantir and oracle were practicing for
Refusing to vote brought the war they were protesting to their homes. As I’ve said all along.
Refusing to vote is not what got us here.
We would rather have a fascist in office than a progressive, so that’s what we got.
Anything to avoid raising taxes on the moderate white.
thats how nyc voted, they would rather have a republican mayor/or a DINO than not.
It’s called the Imperial Boomerang.
Fuck off. We’ve been watching this for months. Do something about it already.
Yeah inside how angry the people actually dealing with it are, fucking idiot
So angry that they’re willing to sit there and watch television while telling the world they can’t possibly do anything.
The thing is people don’t like to hear it but history has the answer. The only thing that stopped the Nazis was violence. If Hitler’s assassination attempt in the early 1940s had been successful history would never have even recorded his name.
And violence, starts at home. The international community won’t help and couldn’t help even if they wanted to. That will come in time, but Americans have to take responsibility for starting it.
🔔🔔🔔 We have a winner
If you won’t stand up for yourself, how do you expect anyone else to stand up for you. Seems pretty simple.
I keep seeing this. What is there to do?
Commit suicide by
copcapital defense force? Because that’s basically what “doing something” entails.Any positions that could “do something” are on the Fascist’s side, including the for profit news media. We are just as trapped in this capitalist web of coercion as we were before it went full fascist.
Why do you think filthy socialists and commies like myself were telling anyone who would listen, including getting laughed off of occupy Wall Street by the people we were trying to save, I was there, that the capital markets were our doom and our end? Because they were, and here we are.
I’m just glad their dream of this malice continuing in perpetuity truly is just a malignant dream. Climate change has something for this greedy, sociopathic civilization’s ass, and the fact that we’re turning our habitat against the species effectively permanently can’t be bribed, black bagged, discredited, dissappeared, reframed, or any of the other dirty tricks the capitalist fascists have used to get their way and steamroll the innocent.
Start our own police force?
Or start a community defense group like the Black Panthers
I mean, that’s just forming a gang, which I consider American police to simply be the largest and most well resourced of, a state sanctioned gang of gleefully violent thugs, unlike police in the developed world.
Police force, gang, militia…
drones open up a whole host of opportunity on this front, far as being a power equalizer…just saying
They’ve recently passed rules to make it a lot harder for regular Americans to get drones in the US.
Got details?
Bring the economy to a halt via general strike and street marches that disrupt traffic. Nothing short of that will get anyone’s attention.
The US, it bears repeating captured by our capital markets, keeps most Americans on a paycheck to paycheck knives edge for that very reason. The ones most inclined to strike are the ones that have the most to lose by striking.
You’re asking tens of millions of people to lose the roof over their heads for a very uncertain outcome.
The sad reality is that the capitalist bastards have their bases covered. Not surprising considering their effectively limiltess capital and the generational grudge the wealth class has over the formation of unions here to begin with.
And you’re asking for death camps and fascism.
I mean, in my perfect world the people would unite and burn the capital markets that have brought us to this place to cinder, and have a people’s tribunal bring justice to the former largest stakeholders.
That could begin to right this ship, and really nothing short of that.
But I know they’d use their media to get us burning down each other’s homes looong before we get to Wall Street, so I know we’re irrevocably cooked. What do you propose that could conceivably circumvent all the soft and hard protections they’ve put in place?
there is one that worked effective , the railroad strikes, i believe that is enough to paralyze the gop/D congress to make the freakout. but they are currently satiated now, so unlike to want to strike now.
They mounted a tripod gun on the roof of the broadview facility. I challenge anyone to think about “shithole” areas of the world and not envision unmarked paramilitary wearing masks, body armor, and carrying something like an ar15.
Arm yourselves and everyone you know. Maintain networks. Communicate via encrypted messaging apps.
Be careful about trusting others.
The US government are professionals at infiltrating organized resistance.
It is definitely “well regulated malitia” time. start forming a group locally. make plans. have each other backs.
I kind of agree. I think we’re at the point if you get kidnapped you’re dead already so prevent your loved ones from getting disappeared if you can.
Invest in LoRa for communication. Like 30$ per person to get a mesh going
If someone entered the sanctity of my home without first presenting an Article III warrant, they’d get a bullet in their skull

The 2nd Amendment exists for when all the other Amendments fail.
If you don’t respect the 4th Amendment, maybe you’ll respect the 2nd Amendment.

Anyone. Entering. My. Home. Univited. Without. A. Warrant. Will. Die.
Maybe its ICE. Maybe it’s a criminal. How am I supposed to know?
deleted by creator
A lot of people like to puff out their chest and say that. I still haven’t seen something like that happen in the news for all the times ICE has raided people’s homes throughout the country. It could be a matter of time but it’ll be exceedingly rare.
It does happen, although I haven’t heard of it happening recently with ICE per se, but I do recall Breonna Taylor’s boyfriend firing at police for entering the home unannounced and hitting a cop.
when it happens, it’s not making the news…
Or it’ll be portrayed as sanitized as possible under the guise of mental illness
its already being portrayed by media in a sanitized manner, not neccesarily with mental illness. they report, and then they stop tlaking about it, it helps normalize it.
Cops get shot fairly often because of this kind of stuff.
The news like’s to pretend that stuff doesn’t happen but it does. I remember cops getting super pissed off because the court ruled that a guy who shot some cops was legally in the clear in that particular situation.
It is a situation where after the pin drops, everything explodes. Exceedingly rare will become common, simply because law and norms no longer has enough belief to sustain the status quo.
The America we knew is running on inertia alone. That ride is coming to an end.
I agree with you, but…while you say that, when there’s 10 brown shirts outside, ready to return fire, I don’t know how practical that ends up being…
It’s more practical with a super safety 😄
It’s not. High rate of fire ≠ combat effectiveness.
Shhhh, don’t ruin their fantasy!
ICE Is Terrorizing Chicago. We Can Stand Up To Them
they are bringing in snipers too.
I am so frustrated that there are not more views on that video. I’m sharing it everywhere. That shit should be fucking viral.
They control what goes viral.
Just another day in naziland
And y’all think violence isnt the answer? That is literally all their monkey brains can comprehend
If even a quarter of those doors had someone returning buck shot this would probably be the last ice raid like that.
Maybe. They would likely call in heavier reinforcement if that became common. Solo fighters stand little chance of making a dent in them even when properly trained and armed. Sadly, that is a situation too many face given so many are so vehemently against violence of any kind. Maybe my ideas are colored by the media and there are more willing to go visceral than the media wants us to believe
You’re 100% right.
They’re targeting Democratic cities with large numbers of democratic gun owners because they’re hoping for a confrontation.
It might be inevitable, but I guarantee you they will not back down once you give them what they have been trying to incite.
There’s a reason Miller, Hegseth, and Bondi made an appearance, got all those armed people pumped full of adrenaline, and then literally slipped out the back door yesterday before flying far, far away. They don’t plan on being present on the battlefield for the war they’re creating.
They need people to fight and die while they give orders and watch comfortably from afar like it’s some kind of UFC ultimate match.
Bullshit. If they wanted an armed standoff they’d go to places that have high gun ownership and Stand Your Ground laws.
One of the reasons they are busting into Chicago city apartments id precisely because they know they’re least likely to be armed and anyone defending their property doesn’t have the law on their side.
These cops are functionallly bullies, it they realized there was real danger it would stop them. They’ve been avoiding anything actually dangerous for a reason. They might be able to call in a swat team for assistance, but it would destroy their ability to do widespread raids if there was legitimate fear for their own safety.
A single child with a gun held dozens of cops at bay for hours after the “heavier reinforcements” showed up.
These people are cowards and are only acting this way because they know they won’t face any resistance.
they are also targeting on blue areas, and not red ones.
Yeah, funny how after the dust is settled, the winners try to convince the losers that the time for violence has passed.
It’s quite unreal to watch from the outside what’s happening down there. Violence is the only answer.
And what do you expect us to achieve other than getting ourselves killed?
General strike is the only answer.
Then start talking to your neighbours.
“Hey neighbour, it looks like we are in danger, what do you need from me? What are we gonna do when these fucks comes for us, our family and our friends?”
Like stop pretending this can’t happen to anyone at this point. Because it’s not going to get any better anytime soon
Yes, this exactly.
So you know an appropriate answer yet here we are seeing nothing.
You have no idea what I’m doing. Get off your high horse.
If we can take any of them down with us, then it’s still a success.
Casualties are part of war.
If you make martyrs you aren’t advancing the cause.
it always was, but the right through various propaganda, said only protest without violence was the answer.
To these cunts a lack of retaliation is seen as assent.
This would make Trump really happy.
This, and Epstein is why he’s doing this shit: https://www.newsweek.com/donald-trumps-approval-rating-hits-record-low-for-second-term-10815700
Yeah? Well I say we make him cream his diaper. It’s way past time to fight fire with fire. Give them what they seem to crave. The current response is not sufficient.
So where are the bus loads of lawyers? Even with today’s authoritarian reality, that should be an open-shut case. Even if ICE claims they can write their own warrants, there’s no way they’re motivated enough to write one for every unit in a large building. Their laziness trumps their malice
If you want this to stop, the city/county/state needs to bring felony breaking and entering + kidnapping charges to every individual who approved this and carried it out. And like tomorrow or as soon as humanly possible.
The kinds of people who carry these operations out do not have empathy and will only change their behavior by force. A big list of felony counts and lawyer’s fees might make them pause and reconsider.
They can just arrest/hold anyone who is not outwardly displaying credentials. The feds can bail them out, assuming they have proof… Then you start the whole process again tomorrow.
