    I’m curious when somebody is gonna try to shoot them thinking they’re just being kidnapped.

      At the rate they are going, it will happen. I’m honestly surprised it has taken this long, a testament to the collective hope that it won’t be necessary. The first will probably be a right-wing nutjob or agent provocateur they try to illegally kidnap, that they’ll then claim is a Democrat. Already saw some footage of people in Tucson, AZ with shields and pepper balls shooting back at the ICE Treasonists.

      Hit the range and train up folks. The only good Nazi is a dead Nazi. They’re not taking this fucking country. (Still hoping it doesn’t come to that. The violence line is a hard one to come back from. Also, this message is not to be construed as a threat of violence. Only a statement of fact. Violence should always be avoided whenever possible, until it is necessary. The world came together to stop Nazis the first time, we may very well have to do it again.)

        It’s almost as if the narrative of these being criminals is a lie… Wouldn’t the first thing a criminal would on seeing a gang of masked men be to idono fucking shoot them?

          I propose doxing and talking to their families. They clearly work/serve for a criminal organization under Mango Mussolini (trump) who gives them the orders. They don’t give a shit about the law/constitution or any other horse shit paper. Just bunch of immoral thugs and it is a duty of everyone to condemn them and their actions.

          No victim = no crime! Fuck the state!

          You’re inviting martial law.

          you’re damn right. we have to be willing to fight them. living in fear of that outcome is defeat. if all they have to do is threaten us, then we’re already defeated.

    Setting the stage for Martial law. Slowly put troops out and when the midterms start, arrest those trying to vote.

    So, call me crazy, but I really do think the protest organizers need to push WAY harder on the idea that while ICE is the enemy, the NG (and the military at large too, hopefully) is not. We should make posters saying stuff like “NG: We’re citizens, and you’re citizen soldiers; we should be friends!”

    I genuinely do hope and believe that when the chips are really down at some point, if the National Guard or any active-duty unit is ordered to do something absolutely beyond the pale, they’d refuse the order and frag the person who gave it. I think that may be part of how we end up getting out of this shitshow. And yes, I do realize how deeply fucked it is that I’m basically banking on a mutiny by elements of the US Military as our final breakwater against fascism… but our civilian institutions are manifestly failing to meet the moment in any meaningful way.

      the thing is MSM isnt reporting it, and they are trying very hard not to give it more attention than it needs, because its conservative owned media.

    Meanwhile, Trump’s so-called “Big, Beautiful Bill” spending and tax bill would direct $168 billion towards immigration and border enforcement. But that increased spending and other immigration-related costs could cost the U.S. an estimated $1.4 trillion over the next decade.
