This is very true. Minneapolis suburb here. They are following even old ladies back to their homes 30 min away.
Fucking unbelievable
Why is there not a general strike called for that state. Allow the groups to be on the streets peacefully full time and remove the fear and hysterical actions.
For any strike or boycott to be truly effective it needs to be maintained until the other side comes to some kind of agreement. A single day or two isn’t going to do much, and most of the population can’t afford to miss anymore work than that AND they are not socially connected to each other enough to be able to rely on one another for support and services while they are effectively locked out of the support and services they would receive from being able to pay for things and buy things.
For a lot of people the two general avenue of choices are resist now and potentially lose everything now, or do nothing now and potentially lose everything later.
I’m not necessarily justifying their actions, but it’s understandable.
The second requirement you describe (activated solidarity) is coming together as we speak in Minneapolis.
I fucking loathe conservatives. They are proud Nazis but scoff at the use of the term. But it’s the only term that really describes them. Fucking Nazis.
But it’s the only term that really describes them.
Fascists.
Kinda the hallmark right? You can also apply socialists to all the people collecting social security every month and everyone that uses Medicare or started a a GoFundMe for a huge medical bill or whatever. But call them out on that and they’ll blow a gasket. Most of them are hipocrites all the way down
Partially related: Grocery store apps “tailoring” the price of groceries to the individual? Oh fuck you motherfuckers, cash for me from now on.
“We’re sorry, this location is no longer accepting cash.”
in some states/cities that’s illegal.

Delivering food to neighbours but need to write the address down?
Sounds a bit far-fetched, no?
If we’re talking about next-door neighbors yes, sure.
I reckon it means people living in the same neighborhood as you, which in big cities can be quite large.
I guess we just believe everything written on Meta Threads.
Yes absolutely everything ! /s
I don’t understand what you’re trying to imply. What conspiracy do you think is happening here?
That the Threads comments we are commenting on aren’t real.
To what benefit?
Does there need to be a reason for someone to lie?
In such an intricate and coordinated manner? Yes.
Well if you look up “vintageweave” on Threads, they’re based in “Los Angeles, CA 90048” so I doubt they aren’t making up bullshit for likes.
LIterally 1939
I have seen some movies which had similar stories…
wait how to put it in GPS?
The address you’re dropping it to
I still do not understand. GPS is global positioning system, a satellite location service, right? you can read your location from it, how can anyone put something in it?
GPS apps, GPS head units. We’re talking SatNav here, not the literal service that is GPS.
oops got it 🤦🏻♀️
This is genuinely unsettling. Whatever people’s views are, no one should feel afraid just trying to help a neighbor or go about daily life. Empathy and basic humanity shouldn’t be controversial.
Walking some home with their consent (or consent of their guardian) is not a crime.
Following someone home is stalking.
When it’s related to groceries it’s actually called a steak-out.
/s
I actually looked up edible paper online some years back and it is a thing. Might be messy though.
Or just stop using Facebook Messenger for a private, encrypted messenger app.
Briar makes much more sens for local communities.
Why not rice paper? The Chinese have had it for centuries and shouldn’t be too hard to find locally.
Weak little fucking cowards hiding behind the state to feel empowered for their gold stars. Little rat class traitors like that deserve open hostility every second of their lives.
short lives*
So important to document all these tactics and counter-tactics. It will also come to parts of Europe soon. Sweden has under the current government implemented prisons for children and forced government employees to report suspected undocumented children and families. And the far-right has not even officially been included in the government yet. We probably have to prepare here too.
Yes you do.
And the Swedish political shit is floating over to Finland too.
Do you or anybody know if there is a good place to find tactics currently being battle tested and updated from Minnesota and other places? I feel like the HK protests also had lots of interesting findings. It might be useful for SUTR and other UK anti-facist groups
Sweden. I didn’t have that on my 2025 bingo card.
Fascism is running rampant through most Western styled democracies all over the globe. It’s a byproduct of late stage capitalism, instead of addressing the root problem that is causing wealth inequality, fascist and their wealthy backers are blaming everything on scapegoats.
The US is just the bellwether, but we’ve seen a very prominent rise in far right parties surging in even socdem countries.
Well put. We are just as immune as the USA thought they were
It’s a different disease though. There is no political option that isn’t for migration crackdowns, imprisoning children and removing safeguards against repression and surveillance. But as opposed to the Trump regime, neither side of Swedish politics are trying to abolish the other or is actively trying to break down the constitutional order.
Yet. There is no one trying to break down the constitutional order yet. Despite all we’re seeing, despite Åkesson having made warm remarks about Trump for years, despite being hostile towards the media, despite never-ending racist remarks from his party, despite record unemployment, he is currently enjoying the highest voter confidence of any party leader. If the trend continues, the same disease will end up in Sweden as well sooner or later.
what? the Left party certainly isn’t for stricter migration politics, and they’re the largest small party!
If you are Swedish you will remember the Green Party spokesperson Åsa Romson crying as her government announced a crackdown on migrants. Left wing leader Nooshi Dadgostar would (will?) have done the same in Romson’s situation, albeit, hopefully, without crying. That’s just the way it is when you’re a minority partner in a government led by a party that copies all their policies on crime and migration from the far right.
It will also come to parts of Europe soon.
In 10 years we’ll officially know the CIA has been funding far-right groups in the EU.
I’d say we’re far from close in Sweden. The uptick in SD voters is very concerning, and the rest of the right is pretty trash as well. But it’s at least pretty likely the left gets the win this year, so let’s hope they do and start cleaning up the mess the right has created…
i’m infinitely more worried about M and S than i am about SD, as SD seems to be busy destroying themselves through concentrated incompetence.
M are actually competent and know how to ease in fascism by making it look perfectly normal, and i wouldn’t be surprised if S ends up turning into SS without even realizing it themselves…
as SD seems to be busy destroying themselves through concentrated incompetence
And yet they seem to increase in polls. It feels like their voters are as immune to all their shit as the republican voters are…
i wouldn’t be surprised if S ends up turning into SS without even realizing it themselves…
I’m not seeing this happening any time soon, I’m more worried about M following the SD playbook to try to appease their voters. The only good thing about this whole mess is that my dad and brother, that are both very much with M, are both considering voting S this year. And my dad has even been in city council (? kommunfullmäktige) for M. That might be an indication that M is going to lose quite a few voters this year.
Wow this is the first I’ve heard of Sweden falling so badly . . .
Has been for a while now. Kinda sad considering it used to be considered a bastion of modern society.
In France we have people on far-right billionaire-funded yet widely popular TV channel openly advocating for the adoption of ICE tactics.
We’ve also already got special administrative prisons with inhumane conditions for undocumented migrants for a while. Likewise, on paper, the far-right has never participated in any government since 1945.
Let’s not forget that the EU has delegated arbitrary arrest and violent policing of migrants to other states for quite a while now.
Dark times ahead, we need to fight now, but, indeed, also prepare for a worsening of the situation.
Yes, and don’t forget a bunch of EU countries just signed up with Palantir too. So it’s definitely coming to Europe. I think they’re trying to separate us Americans that disagree with this from the rest of the world so we have no one.
This is a global class war. Of course they’re going to pick out the big target. If they succeed in isolating us the rest of the western world is easy pickings.
Oh yea, Palantir. Reminds me that Thiel will be doing a conference in Paris soon 🤮.
“one of my girlfriends” casual flex.
As hetero women we will often refer to friends who are girls as girlfriends. You could be right, but the 7 here is what I just described.
English is weird with that. Other languages have a separate word for friend and for partner
English doesn’t even have a word for person who you are engaged to be married to. Luckily French had two, so they shared.
I mean, English is just a collection of loanwords pasted haphazardly onto a bastardization skeleton of Germanic and romance languages.
Not German. But it’s usually differentiated by the use of possessive or no possessive.
Mein Freundin = Partner
Eine Freundin = Friend
English is usually the same though.
My girlfriend = Partner
One of my girlfriends / a girlfriend = Friend
??? Get out the house more?
why is it always a programming.dev chud with these kinds of thoughts??
We have the best chuds!
Mandy. Likely as in Amanda. Meaning one of her besties. Not a flex, just a statement of what type of friend.
Hey now, women are allowed to have a harem too!
i have yet to see the anime that outlines this fantasy and therefore!
Residential neighborhoods need to add gated entries. Lock out anyone without a reason to be there, and make ICE announce themselves to gain entry.
Bad idea. ICE is going to break in anyways (or some nazi collaborator will just let them in) but well-intentioned people won’t be able to render help, or at least document what’s happening inside. Locks are there to keep honest people honest, fascists are definitionally not that.
I’m not talking locks, I’m talking manned road blocks. They can blast through if they want, but that’s just going to be a bigger warning.
