This just means they’re going to bring their war against America to other cities. Prepare by organizing your neighborhood. That means a local signal chat, explanations of how to respond to short and long whistle blasts, and preparation to get people to respond on a moment’s notice

      Apparently DHS has Border Patrol agents deploying from their stations to target select cities for one-month rotations.

      The current crop of Minnesota murderers haven’t been deterred at all; they are at the end of their assigned 30-day killing spree.

        The current crop of Minnesota murderers

        Clunky sentence construction. The proper label is Death Squads. Much easier to say, and people understand immediately.

        MAGA Death Squads have come to the streets of America.

        It’s actually very hard to launch dome thing near the sun, let alone into the sun.

        Far better for the planet to just bury them in soft peat for 3 months and recycle them as firelighters.

        “Telephone call? Telephone call? That’s communication with the outside world. Doctor’s discretion. Nuh-uh. Look, hey. If all of these nuts could just make phone calls, they could spread insanity, oozing through telephone cables, oozing into the ears of all these poor sane people, infecting them. Wackos everywhere, a plague of madness. In fact, very few, very few of us here are actually mentally ill. I’m not saying you’re not mentally ill, for all I know, you’re crazy as a loon. But that’s not why you’re here. That’s not why you’re here. That’s not why you’re here! You’re here because of the system.”

      Call your rep and senators and ask that ICE and the Border Patrol be prosecuted for levying war against the United States. Point out their armament, military-style uniforms, and propensity to shoot people.

      I don’t expect success quickly, but it’s in the realm of possibility

      If you’re a citizen, you show up. Fast. Short blasts means they’re present. Long ones mean they’re actively trying to grab somebody. So be prepared to follow with a bike or car until they leave the neighborhood on short.

      The idea is to create a crowd substantially larger than the ICE snatch team. This tends to deter them from acting. You record them if you can.

    Most people don’t know how to join the massive local signal chat. Change don’t happen among small groups of people. As evidenced by… gestures broadly

          Gee… For someone wanting to “do something” about fascism, you sure are seeding a lot of doubt. And don’t tell me you’re just being “realistic”. None of what Trump’s goons are doing is realistic.

              How? Are you apart of any movement? What are you doing to prevent this at a local level? Anything? Give us a clue.

                Why do I have to explain myself to have an opinion?

                If you must know, I’m going through that ICE list to identify where they all live and their next of kin. Something I’m pretty decent at. My local level isn’t an issue right now, and so I’m spending that free time doing what I can with the skills I have. I’m sure they’ll be in my area eventually at this rate.

          Yes, because thankfully the founding fathers made one smart decision by providing absolutely no legal mechanism for cancelling them.

          Trump can try - he will - but he won’t get very far. Even the Supreme Court won’t back him on this one (the exact ‘why’ of that is a lot to get into).

          He’s going to be better off trying to cheat the midterms than cancel them. In fact, his cancel talk is probably working against him, because it’s taking away from the urgency of figuring out how to commit the levels of fraud they need to commit.

          And the thing about election fraud is the more of it you do, the harder it is to conceal. That’s more opportunities to fuck up, more people who have to stay silent. So the more people vote, the harder it becomes for them to cheat. If they only have to nudge the needle that’s easy. If they have to bury it, that’s way harder.

          Achieving the levels of fraud you see in Russia doesn’t happen overnight. You have to extensively reprogram a population en masse to accept those levels of blatant fraud. Trump isn’t there yet.

          I’m not saying there’s nothing to be scared of. I’m saying the fight is winnable, if you don’t give up.

              OK? I don’t disagree, those do appear to be the main vehicles through which they will attempt to depress the Dem vote.

              But I’m not sure what point you’re making, unless you’re just agreeing with me while adding specifics?

      Yeah, Todd Flintstone, Trump’s lawyer, that guy that’s Fred’s uglier, stupider, and more violent younger brother, was on TV Sunday morning, blaming it all on Minnesota not letting their law enforcement support ICE. That’s why this happened, it’s all the Mayor’s and the Governor’s fault.

      There are 3000 ICE Apes in Minneapolis, and the police department has 600 officers. Why can’t a massive force of 3000 protect themselves? Why do they need 600 cops to protect them?

      Or maybe they just want scapegoats to blame their murders on. Turns out, they’ll blame the cops anyway.

    Be a lot cooler if they couldn’t leave because they’d been arrested for participating in organized kidnapping and murder.
