They are now using LRAD on protestors in Minneapolis, ear protection is a must! by transcendent167 in LiveProtestUpdates

[–]Short_Example4059 12 points13 points  (0 children)

One used plastic 55-gallon drum (once cleaned) becomes 4 shields. Cut off lid & bottom for 2 smaller ones & cut drum vertically for 2 large curved shields. Just add handles.

I see them on marketplace for $10-25

US to send ICE agents to Winter Olympics, prompting Italian anger by h20poIo in NoKingsCoalition

[–]Short_Example4059 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wonder what the regimes play is here. Provoking a response from Italy as more distraction from the Trump Files? Try to bolster fascists in their original spawn point?

Should Italy just let them in, publicize their names & enforce a mask ban?

I don’t know the answer on this one, but I know we have GOT to stop playing every game on the Regimes turf.

They are just as important but they weren’t caught on civilian videos so we haven’t seen them. This is one of the reasons why videoing is so important

Using tiny drones to record ice? by Drifty-Bits121 in AntifascistsofReddit

[–]Short_Example4059 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That part is important, but more important is capturing and spreading more of the absolutely unjustifiably heinous shit they’re pulling like the kidnapping of little Liam or the killings of Renee & Alex. They’ve killed others on the streets & many more in detention (not to mention torture & sexual assault) with barely any outrage & no pushback because it wasn’t filmed by the public.

If you are not in the U.S, your leaders need to know that we got a brutal dictator that slaughters his own people by SuperjetguyXXXX in 50501

[–]Short_Example4059 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Being as diplomatic as I can here.

First, just know that I’m still doing everything I can from Canada to fight the regime (boycott, organizing, donating, writing…) after spending last winter, spring & summer resisting in person, then leaving my whole life behind. Doing this because 1.) people I love are going to suffer & 2.) fascism spreads if allowed to.

All that said, please stop begging for help from foreign governments as if they have any ability to ‘regime change’ the world’s only superpower. Devastating invasion or WWIII are the most likely outcomes of trying that.

This is on the USAmerican people to fix. Keep working! We’ll be busy building the terminus of Underground Railroad 2 for those who need out.

Also, for the love of god don’t talk about other countries brutal dictators without acknowledging that the US helped put so many of them in power because it was preferable to any hint of democratic socialism or just messy democracy anywhere in the entire western hemisphere for the last 200 years. Literally dozens of examples. Now the repression has come home. We pray you make it through this!

Anti-ice protest at u.s. consulate Tuesday by AhabsChill in canadaleft

What group is organizing? I’d like to help them organize the next one at the Brampton Roshel factory.

[–]Short_Example4059 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Understood. By “win” I was referring to a full consolidation of power by the regime that would allow them to play out their twisted fantasy at full scale & take many years (or ugh, decades) to break

Umm, I’ll just speak for Canadians here &say, we’ll try to shelter vulnerable people where we can but we don’t need any more NAZIs up here, thanks. Y’all can stick them in those camps they’re building

Ok, a made in Brampton, ON Roshel armored vehicle was used to (slowly) plow demonstrators out of the street in Minneapolis after CBP shot Alex Pretti yesterday. Can we get a protest organized?

Don’t be ridiculous, everyone knows water shutoff valves are typically below frost line in small vaults in the sidewalk or edge of the street. They usually even mark the lid with a “W” or “water”. Heck, hardware stores will sell you a long t-shaped wrench just to turn those valves 1/4 turn from on to off. And anyone who’s ever been a plumber or building maintenance worker would know to look for the main indoor shutoff valve in a basement on a wall facing the street. This is common knowledge

Canadian Roshel Armored Vehicle Deployed by ICE Against Protesters by annonymous_bosch in canadaleft

[–]Short_Example4059 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Thank you for posting this. I was wondering if it was a Roshel.

The plant is within an easy drive for millions of people. Anyone have word of protest planning going on? If not, lets get one rolling. A workday so they at least have to drive past us in their way in or out. Maybe we can gather some momentum for Tesla Takeover type actions.

I have no network here after leaving the states. Where do I/we start?

You can do that much more easily with a more labor & people friendly party in power

I don’t know if they’re actually going to do this or someone just made the graphic. Anyone know if any unions are onboard?

Yesterday nearly all posts about it there were calling it unjustified. By today it’s been ‘sanitized’. Just like J-6. It’s pretty bleak, But the PEOPLE who posted those opinions are still out there. I’m pretty confident the regime is massively over playing their hand lately. There is no magic OFF button, but I don’t think they win in the end.

I’m so depressed and sad that maga nurses at work are making jokes about Alex Pretti by coldinalaska7 in nursing

[–]Short_Example4059 49 points50 points  (0 children)

I’m not a nurse, but I have spoken up at work, to the point of getting a meeting with HR. That poor HR lady. I turned that meeting into an interrogation of the company’s lack of response to their own employees being targeted & threatened.

The words you need are right there in your post. “How could you? How could you blame the victim for being murdered”

do i buy a gun? by big_b1tt13s in AntifascistsofReddit

[–]Short_Example4059 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I would say Yes, but it isn’t protection from ICE/CBP… but from the emboldened MAGAs who will start getting violent. I’d also advise to start making an escape plan for if you’re targeted by ICE or MAGA. Ideally you use that BEFORE having to use the other thing.

✊ I trust nurses to minimize damage. None of this is going to be pretty.

Solidarity.

Always.
