    Americans… this is why you NEED to take the streets now

    The same illegality and callousness that keeps the people in power from upholding the law will be in place when they decide you cannot keep your house or should be jailed for whatever reason with no process or even kill you for anything (such as speaking up)… you think you are not affected and keep your head down may save you but it won’t.

      There have been multiple protests every week in my city for months. I see virtually no coverage of it in the news.

      I think we need a better strategy.

        General strike or, if feeling more aggressive, protest directly in front of the news stations. Peacefully prevent their staff from leavind anywhere without covering the event

          Are y’all not seeing more protests, and bigger protests than you were in 2020? The only difference here is that I haven’t seen violence or property damage. Otherwise the protests are bigger and more frequent.

    Why are we blurring the faces of the ICE agents here?

    They are public servants paid by our taxes.

    And if the area they’re in is considered private, well then they’re criminals who are trespassing to arrest somebody without a warrant and don’t deserve any anonymity.

      Because accountability isn’t a thing anymore.

      The ones that could do something about it are controlled by the Trump regime.

        Right. I’ve said it in other posts. We have gotten to the point where they can sit in court, under oath, and just flat out admit to everything. No hiding or misdirection. Just straight up admit to it. And nothing would happen.

    Lying in court doesnt matter, breaking the law doesnt matter, going against the constitution doesnt matter.

    We’ve already reached the point that the gang has said “We have control of the Military and all the Armed services of the government, the fuck are you gonna do about it?”

    When you lie in court it’s a crime. When they lie in court it’s just an innocent mistake a no one’s responsible.
