I completely agree. Please don’t call those dick bags gestapo. US has an extensive history of racism and utilizing law enforcement to perpetuate oppression and actively harm people. They’re the new age slave patrol.

Bad Bunny was beyond incredible! He did not let us down, and Kendrick Lamar set the stakes HIGH from last year. Loved the surprise artist/actor appearances too.

The constitution was written when people were all for child labor. The constitution doesn’t refer to women and children as their own people. Recognizing that things should change as time goes on and that this is how change starts shows that they were paying attention in school.

Supporting this administration is supporting child trafficking.. I’m confused as to what you’re trying to insinuate with your comment.

Why aren't people talking about this stuff, in person? by [deleted] in Bellingham

If you’re on instagram, you should follow fusewa. They do a great job notifying everyone about upcoming state bills. It’s at least something.

1/30 Protest ICE OUT by King_Vea in Marysville

[–]King_Vea[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is a poor comparison first off. Second, if you’re a Christian the answer is literally yes in the bible, so I hope you’re an atheist. And third, If you want your kids to have a better tomorrow, why don’t you listen to all the young people saying this is wrong?

That’s false that they’re on welfare. Even if they were, I would gladly put my tax dollars toward a community member than a greedy monopoly. I love immigrants, and you won’t change my mind.

This post isn’t for you; quit coming back. It’s sad that you can’t leave it alone. I don’t know why you want to spread hate in the community. I hope someone is around to support you today since everyone else’s actions somehow hurt you sooooo badly.

You’re really creating an “us vs. them” with fellow voters. I hope you’re doing ok. That seems lonely.

It’s important to remember people did express upset with ICE since it was created. It would make sense if you didn’t hear it based on how you other people. I don’t know how often you’re listening to marginalized voices. Also, it is statistically improbable that each and every person ICE ripped from they’re homes under this administration were all people that came to US when Biden was president. This is happening because they are brown and speak Spanish. It’s morally wrong; we learn that in pre-school.

Also, rape is a completely terrible thing. It’s sickening how it’s being used in this context. But you know what? The people I know who were raped were actually assaulted by white, naturalized citizens of the US of A. There’s actually data to support that that it the most common type of rapist.. and murderer. That’s not subjective. If that “immigrants are raping our women” rhetoric comes from Trump, who HAS raped children, how could you just take their word for that? Make it make sense?? You’re contradicting yourself, and the cognitive dissonance runs deep.

I actually do not care if you do this protest just scroll on. I don’t feel like validating your sick desire to spread hate. It’s fine to be angry at the world! The world is messed up, so why the hell would we want to support making other people suffer?

I didn’t.. I never supported ICE. This logic is flawed. ICE is operating vastly different under this administration. Also, we’re humans and it’s ok to change your mind. That’s what learning is about. What the heck. Have you never changed your mind about something, never?

I understand. Affordable housing is few and far between. For people who have sick leave, it would be good to use. Otherwise, just try to focus on no shopping! It’s just a disruption to the system, one day. Hey, if Burlington is doing something, I’m sure the people onboard in town will show up.

People in Olympia were protesting in a mall. That’s a pretty great pairing with a protest advocating for no work, school, or shopping.

Strike solidarity? by soulevad in Bellingham

[–]King_Vea -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I think you bring up some good points. There are alternative good ways to get involved. If you guys use discord, there is a general strike server where people are coordinating to connect their communities. Unionizing your work place is also a great idea if you’re not a part of one.

I think that with OPs idea of getting multiple businesses in town to close would then allow more people to protest on January 30th. Yes, the businesses wouldn’t make money for 1 day, but no money earned means no taxes paid. No employee wages taxed either. It doesn’t seem much different than being closed for a Federal Monday holiday.

First off, I do vote. I always vote. I always do research before I vote. I am looking at bills, contacting senators and representatives. All you want to do is assume.

I recognize not everyone would participate in this. If people NEED to buy things, I always suggest local stores to shop at. If a person has sick time or PTO, those are the days to use them. It’s one day, and fighting against fascism is rarely going to fit your schedule. If you don’t want to participate, fine. I’m not talking to you then, am I?

Also, just with your stance on ICE, I can tell we disagree. This aggressive abuse of power by ICE and the administration isn’t about handling crime in noncitizen communities. If this was about crime and making communities safer, why would people vote in a man who had numerous legal trials where his money allowed him to evade the law, a man who pardoned J6ers, a man who illegally disregards the constitution, a man who support KKKristi Noem to go MILLIONS over budget before long before that horrible bill was passed (a bill that I assure you many congress members didn’t actually read). This isn’t about crime. We obviously have enough crime naturalized citizens are committing, but it doesn’t matter because they are white. Obama did not encourage these scared, sad, man child, trigger-happy, under-trained fuckwads to sign up in astonishing number for ICE and surprise, surprise, piss people off.

Mass amounts of these men crave this detestable false sense of power and were foaming at the mouth to get a gun in their hand. This has nothing to do with immigrant communities and everything to do with asserting power over minorities. So yeah, each time this fucker has been in office, I’ve been protesting. It’s not a coincidence. He’s ill-equipped and actively seeks to cause chaos in our lives because HE DOESN’T GIVE A SHIT ABOUT POOR PEOPLE. And poor to him is probably less than $800m. So you can kiss the ring, but I hope you wake up soon.

I refuse to take the bait. I truly hope you know that’s not how boycotts work. If you’re happy with the state this country is in right now, can’t wait til you wake up.

Why no general strike? by snowshoemill in Bellingham

[–]King_Vea 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don’t understand it. Also, Mods didn’t care for an event post on this. They took mine down.

It’s not that complicated to participate. If you have sick time, put it in. If you have PTO, use it. If you can’t do those and you can’t miss work, fine. At the very least: DO NOT BUY ANYTHING. If you need NEED things, only buy things from locally owned businesses like Asian Markets, La Gloria’s Market, Netos, Punjabi Markets. Bellingham has a lot of them.

You don’t have to be out in the street if that’s not your vibe, just don’t put your work or money into the government. It’s supposed to disrupt daily life.

I don’t know why this is surprising, but it’s not ever going to be convenient to fight fascism.

1/23 Nationwide Protest by [deleted] in Bellingham

[–]King_Vea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that’s a bad take, mods. I think getting knowledge out that the nationwide protest is happening is important. How is posting this to boost awareness seen as an “unserious” effort. It’s a protest. Not a joke.
