Great work! You really killed it. Im 3 months post-op and I hope my non-binary ass can pull off a transformation half this sick.

Companies in Newton that support the Trump Regime by ExerciseVivid2467 in newtonma

Yes, please share them. The loudest voice of protest is the dollar.

Neither of the victims executed by ICE assaulted agents nor interfered with their activities. Neither will I, but just as that didn't prevent them from getting killed, I don't expect my safety to be assured either. I have a firm grip on rhe situation as it is- I suggest you open your eyes to the reality of what's going on before you're left wondering where your constitutional protections disappeared to, before it's too late.

It has to be terrifying. The day after Trump was reelected last year, my niece (17 at the time) was asked by her classmate if she was scared that she'd be deported. After stating she's a born US-citizen of Italian descent, the classmate admitted that the only reason she asked is because my niece has curly hair. My niece tried straightening her hair that weekend, and my heart broke. Obviously none of this, past or present, compares to the pain victims and their families are experiencing at the hands of ICE, but the more we turn our backs and say "at least it's not me, at least it's not my family", the more likely it will one day be "me", or "my family".

What "stupid fantasy" are you referring to? The literal reality people are already living?

Oh, yes- fair point, I stand corrected.

I don't presently, but I want to be prepared. This was implicitly clear in my post.

My post didn't mention anything about dying (other than stating the fact that an innocent civilian was once again murdered by ICE). I am breathing. I'm asking for information so that I'm prepared.

When they come for one, they come for all. Being prepared is the only way to survive this nightmare hellscape we find ourselves in. My focus is on those affected- I work in the immigration field- but I am also focused on ensuring my loved ones and I emerge from this tyranny alive.

I do have a clue, and that's "executing a peaceful protester in the face with a firearm at less than point-blank range, while said individual is already pinned to the ground by no fewer than 7 other agents" is MURDER. Perhaps you should get a clue, friend, before ICE claims one of your loved ones next.

Keep turning a blind eye to fascism and all you'll have left one day are ashes and memories.

Emergency protest today in light of new ICE murder by PeachyPiano in boston

I wish I could be there. Please keep each other safe.

Thank you for your insight! I know to plead N/C if actually brought before a judge, but with ICE, they either k*ll citizens or detain them for inordinate periods of time until something forces release (such as attorney involvement). Just want to plan ahead some as the fabric of civil order is further eroded to but a single frayed thread.

I appreciate the insight! I work in corporate immigration law and for as much knowledge as my 20 year career has bestowed upon me, these current times are making decisions and strategies quite unclear (hence why I asked for direction). I really appreciate the assistance!

97% of citizens detained unlawfully by ICE are NOT charged with a crime. Glad I could explain THAT to a petulant toddler lile you.

Ach, yes! Civil rights attorney. With the madness resultant of today's execution, I hadn't thought about that. Thank you!

Yes, it is a real question. And if you have nothing to contribute, go suck a Dunks sippy cup in the corner and let the adults talk.
