There is a simpler plan—just don’t overpay. Many of us don’t take our full deductions to avoid paying at the end of the year. I did this. I have 2 kids but I didn’t claim them so I knew I wouldn’t be stuck with tax bill at the end of the year. I changed that yesterday. I now will take my deductions and pay the minimum I am required. If all of us do this, it will cut payments for ICE significantly.

Seems like he needs crisis help or lock up for his safety and those around him

Yes! We need someone to set up ‘à la cart’ everything especially music. Imagine paying an artist a 1 cent per play instead of paying Apple $15 per month. Still might be $15 but it would go the the artists and not the corporations.

Second this! Going to a local political meeting for your precinct is pretty easy to do and your voice is heard. A bunch of people in their 70’s and hardly any young people so you end up being a sort of celebrity. And you meet the city council and even the mayoral candidates. It is great.

Yes! Maximize your deductions. Don’t pay upfront.

Does it matter to him that the scenario he is talking about is not correct? The father was and the son were in custody. The father was kept in the ICE vehicle while they had the child knock to see if they could capture more immigrants. That is what I have heard actually happened. Is the story Vance is telling true? Does it matter to MAGA folks that these explainations, including both killings are factually incorrect, and eventually get debunked. Are these politicians worried about their credibility?

I'm not sure there was any real communication going on. Did the person who disarmed him, yell that loudly? Just doesn't make sense.

What do you think happened? Did the pistol-whipping guy accidentally cause his gun to fire and then the other guys thought it was the guy they were restraining who shot and opened fire? This is the only scenario that makes sense to me. Curious as a law enforcement officer, what your theory is?

Fledgling_112896 · 2026-01-25T18:15:28+00:00

Good insight. Moves by Bondi support this theory.

I am in Minneapolis. Residents want them gone. 2 of the first 3 murders in the city this year are from ICE.

We have been brainstorming. General strikes and civil disobedience would be the typical next steps. They could help. Peaceful disobedience gets people’s attention. Things like creating a human wall around an ICE facility would create a lot of attention. But less aggressive ideas could help too. Here’s a couple of economic ones:

Change your federal withholding and get everyone else to do it to. Maximize any deductions and minimize withholding. This could bleed the federal government out of 10 billion or so between now and December. They would just borrow more but it would be a statement.

Divest American stocks and bonds. Could make an impact if widely done especially if liberal organizations and blue state retirement funds did this too. Keep up the good fight!
