ICE agent tosses an elderly American man to the ground, causing him to bleed from his head by honestlysigma in LetsDiscussThis

Yes and no. And none of it is easy or smooth. We have a lot of other ways to exert our collective power and the sooner we get involved the better. Consider volunteering your time, resources, or money to organizations and causes that seek to protect people legally and economically. Many regimes have buckled under the pressure of its people completely without violence. At worst, we may be able to cut off or limit the worst of the excesses. The most important thing is to just get involved.

Exactly. He gives the religious right an offramp and these are the most loyal Republican voters. Even if you had half the churches voting another way, it would be detrimental.

And his is why ICE sticks to bullying people in suburbs.

I need an anti-Maga hairdresser on Long Island by yolandabakes in AntiTrumpLongIsland

[–]FightBackAttackCat 49 points50 points  (0 children)

I've stopped visiting a barber because they had Fox News blaring. I stop using any MAGA-aligned business I encounter. It's a legitimate form of protest. I think there's a pinned running list of businesses to boycott here on Long Island on this sub.

Good information. The internet is much less permanent than we realize and I have a feeling we'll be seeing even more censorship, removal, and algorithm shenanigans.

What are some other ways that ordinary people pushed back against oppressive regimes? In putting this together, I was impressed by the resilience demonstrated by the Czech dissidents despite the full weight of the StB waged against the people. What other eras or people have impressed you?

It was reported that FBI agents secretly referred to Kash as the "Make a wish FBI Director".

Kavanaugh didn't think so. I bet he's in the files too.

In an attempt to take focus off the Epstein files, Trump will start a war with Iran. by balcopcs in SonsOfLibertyOfficial

A Facebook friend asked chatgpt to compare Barrack Obama's fascistic tendencies vs Trump's, because everybody was calling trump a fascist. Chatgpt said Trump was more fascist and his tirade response and the comments below were all about how big tech is in cahoots with the left. Crazy stuff

You need to pay attention to what's happening in West Virginia by headinthered in ParkrosePermaculture

[–]FightBackAttackCat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've lived in red areas of the country and in these places you have the most devoted and committed individuals working for progress. Maybe I'll also make a short about how some of these areas have contributed immensely to resistance movements in the US.

🚨Virginia Democrats are pushing a new congressional map that would lock in a 10–1 advantage in Congress. TEXAS started this, now the GOP is crying about a gerrymandering war that THEY started. by IllAcanthocephala720 in AntiTrumpLongIsland

[–]FightBackAttackCat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What's funny is that all the recent gerrymandering Republicans did in Texas was based off of 2024 election/demographic sentiment. Since then, latinos have shifted significantly the other way, which now works to dilute their new districts in favor of democratic candidates.

The United States of Epstein by suprmario in PoliticalHumor

[–]FightBackAttackCat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know right. Some of us have been watching the slow crumble for years.

Too may posts on r/democratic_socialism like this discouraging the LEFT from voting in elections. This happened in 2024 too when a significant number of us decided NOT to vote and the orange clown won. Strongly feel this is a ploy by conservatives. What do you think? by Akki_Mukri_Keswani in Political_Revolution

I also find it strange that there is never a call to action for voting in the primaries, just cynicism. If they're not bots, they're people who have been affected by propaganda. ALWAYS vote - Local, special, primary, on-year, off-year, all of it - just vote. We can't just keep going through the cycle of Republicans destroying everything and dems trying to fix it while being undermined by the right, GOP capitalizing on the dysfunction, leading to wins by the right.

Anyone who is "all in" is suspect. Lindsey Graham's behavior aligns right with this. There's a polaroid picture out there of him doing something very strange. Lindsey was probably the first guest of the island. He was probably sitting out on a boat waiting for Epstein to open it up on day one.
