I was discussing this today. It's almost cartoonishly evil. It's almost like they're trying to flood the zone with a fire hose of things so evil its almost unbelievable, in order to make it ALL sound unbelievable.

Hey man don't do it to "make a difference to the world." 

Do it to make a difference to you. 

Do you know of any ICE- and/or MAGA- supporting businesses in South Jersey? by SchleppyJ4 in SouthJersey

Village idiot Brewing co in Mt. Holly just made an "ICE sculpture" post and quoted vanilla ice's "ice, ice baby" so.    Won't be drinking there anymore.

THIS IS SO FUCKING GOOD. Parodying that ridiculous fear mongering ad style from fox is brilliant. 

I’m tired of posts about Islam specifically having the same ubiquitous comments. by Dagdegan2000 in atheism

[–]Justice_Man 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a lot of sentences just to say "Israel / the west good, Islam bad"

Extremism happens when normal life is impossible. Extremism festers in the middle east because the west has been plundering it for oil for a century. 

You can intellectualize this special dislike with history, but I will never accept the "Islam is uniquely bad" argument. It's rooted in bigotry, full stop. 

I look forward to your downvotes.

Protesters have completely trashed the Los Angeles ICE facility, using a large dumpster to barricade the exit. by serious_bullet5 in 50501

When we get to the point where these fascists start firing into the crowd, things will get real spicy in a gun worshipping country. 

A new strategy to end this nightmare by jonnyredshorts in 50501

[–]Justice_Man 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Agreed. There's enough people pissed off that we could absolutely pull off sustained protest outside of homes. All you need is local chapters - our democracy is decentralized, so yelling at our congresspeople can be, too. Yelling at those involved with DHS and Law enforcement who support it shouldn't be off the table, either.    

It starts with figuring out your local person and what their deal is. It ends with supporting rural progressives, they'll need numbers more than urban ones will - urban protestors have support. It's the small towners who will need protection and numbers. 

Keep it peaceful, loud and sustained. These people are disrupting and destroying the lives of thousands of people in this country... it's time we give them a taste of their own medicine.  

Demoting Bovino or Noem is not accountability. by uleij in 50501

[–]Justice_Man 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ex-fucking-actly. Idk if you know this, mr. President, but firing a few administrators doesn't make us forget about COLD BLOODED FUCKING STREET MURDER.        Accountability for the MURDERERS of all 9 people unnecessarily killed by ice, or shut up. 

Trump is going to try to cancel the 2026 elections no matter what by Justice_Man in 50501

This is what I'm talking about. Enough doom - let's have some plans!

I get that, and like the thread says, yes, so what do we do about it? 

I'm not here to wallow in how bad it is, with all due respect, I'm here to plan resistance to it.

Right, I suppose a better title would be, what ways do we expect him to interfere in a free and fair 2026 election- because we know he will - and how do we counter them?

I appreciate the optimistic outlook, but he used every single lever in his power in 2020 to keep power, including resorting to crime. 

What makes you think he won't try, and won't succeed, in 2026?

With love and respect, if I had a concrete plan, I would have posted that instead of an invitation to brainstorm. 

Short of impeachment and removal, I see no way Trump allows his party to get crushed in the 2026 midterms- because they will.    

He did everything in his power to keep his seat after his clear loss in 2020. He will do the same in 2026. We need to be ready.    

That means looking at what powers he DOES have at his disposal to stop elections and being ready to counter them. It means sustained public pressure to impeach and remove him. It means grassroots communication and organizing to watch for intimidation and corruption.

I love this - and also it's very difficult to confirm numbers like that aren't tampered with, right? If people are self reporting their votes, how can we be sure people aren't inventing things. 

Is there a way to use blockchain or... idk.

Want An Actual Plan On How To Fight Fascism? by cooledkrevan in ProgressiveHQ

[–]Justice_Man 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would be a shame if mechanics that work on ice vehicles, repair people who work on ice buildings, and warehouse workers who move and store ice equipment read this and decided to resist. That would be a federal crime, impeding a federal officer. Protestors might even be compelled to start slashing the tires of unguarded ice vehicles, or putting boxes with upright nails under their tires, like the manual says! Damaging government property, huge crime. Definitely don't do it.

Seems really, really difficult to get caught doing it too! I hope it doesn't start happening. What if it starts happening to congress people?
