Lemmy for Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
I always wondered if family members of ICE members know that they are members... If I had a cousin that was ICE, I would go absolutely no contact with him, and would let everyone know that the guy is ICE. Wear your shitty mask, but people will know.
Someone should start an ICE database, where pictures of ICE people are posted, even masked. And let people who know them come forward and say "hey. I know the guy in picture X, it is John blabla". Then, bully those pieces of shit out of existence.
It'd probably be better to pretend to befriend them. Information is power.
A massively enlarged unaccountable army beholden to Trump, huh can’t imagine what could go wrong.
How can we not have a recall option? I don't understand how we got this far without one.
An overfunded undisciplined paramilitary of degenerates that couldn't make it through police academy, what could go wrong?
God bless the United States of authoritarianism

America is fuckity fuck fucked. Enjoy Americans, this is what you voted for: fascism and tax breaks for billionaires.
My pride flag will still fly. I will still protest. But I will now answer the door, chain bolted, and 9mm pointed through the door.
You'll soon start seeing huge investment in trains, and their time-table as well.
It's absolutely fucked that this could be how trains and rail-lines get reinvigorated.
Peacefully polite protesting should do the trick. You democrats reading my comment have any thoughts on the Second Amendment now? (Im a socialist and own guns and am not trolling, just want to genuinely ask what a solution is to this)
As much as I hate the idea of having guns just all around the place in society, I think at this point I'd have gotten one myself if I didn't think I was more likely to kill myself with it than actually do anything useful.
It's Orwellian Black Mirror shit!
The interesting thing is that the US of today isn't a historical parallel with Nazi Germany.
The US has 300,000,000 guns (among other things) in civilian hands.
I don't think it's going to be an uneventful 10-20 years as this round of fascism works its way through the American system.
A lot of those guns are in the hands of individuals who align politically with ICE, but yes — the greedy dragon will inevitably attack enough people indiscriminately that this will become a serious factor in the years to come.
The only question is, how much damage is going to be done before people use them? Can we trust that the people will fight back against a homegrown Gestapo?
Furthermore, places that are most likely to see heavy ICE action will be places like California, Massachusetts, New York, Illinois, which checks notes... right, have the strictest gun laws.
Then you got gun owners like me who hate ICE.
