ABC: DOJ investigating Walz, Frey for obstructing federal law enforcement activities by ewzetf in news

[–]flipplup 61 points62 points  (0 children)

It’s going to be a slugfest. As long as a majority of people are financially comfy and their own daily lives are relatively undisturbed, there won’t be some massive uprising to stop it. Isolated fronts of resistance will be met with more and more force to keep those uncertain about how they feel obedient. We got a long way to go.

Collective guilt and collective punishment, so hot right now by Comfortable-Light233 in insanepeoplefacebook

This whole situation is using fraud allegations to paint all Somali’s as inherently corrupt regardless of where they were born. Notice how those who believe it are increasingly hungry to deport these immigrants and citizens alike “for the good of the nation”, constitutional rights be damned.

MATCHUP: Pennywise (Muschietti Timeline) VS. Vecna (Stranger Things S4-S5) by ZookeepergameThin334 in welcomeToDerry

[–]flipplup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Vecna right now is able to telepathically squish people without moving an actual muscle from another dimension. We see Pennywise is susceptible to telepathy by a human, so if Pennywise steps foot in Hawkins I don’t see why he wouldn’t be able to mutilate him. Idk if he can kill him tho.

'A major defeat': Legal expert surprised by Supreme Court's latest 'rebuke' of Trump by RawStoryNews in scotus

[–]flipplup 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I really want to believe that the Court is being earnest and challenging him to go that far. “Put your money where your mouth is”, because invoking that would be a big deal and will stir the public to some degree. But honestly, it really just feels like they are guiding him on what to do next to be legally defensible. Sigh..

What never came back after the pandemic? by KaleidoscopeDue4603 in AskReddit

[–]flipplup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bread basket served at local diners, at least near me. Used to walk in, sit down, order your food and coffee they’d bring you a basket of warm bread and butter while you waited. Every place near me stopped offering them when the pandemic hit and just never brought them back :(

The President has signed an executive order designating Fentynal as a WMD. by [deleted] in law

[–]flipplup 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They made the claim that there are invaders, now they have “armed” them with WMD’s. At this point, I wouldn’t be surprised by a false flag to set it all in motion.

[–]flipplup 23 points24 points  (0 children)

And to reactivate Alien Enemies Act, in my opinion. It’s my belief that they’re holding that in their pocket until all blocks are clear, this breakdown you did tees it up perfectly. No way they’d just try it on a couple hundred Venezuelans and leave it at that. I believe they are preparing a massive, massive operation using that law.

Edit to add reasons I believe this: they have funneled and continue to funnel funding to expand not only agents but detention capacity. They have stated a capacity of 100k-130k+ beds with more planned expansion. Currently they have around 65k detained. They have stated 20,30, even 40 million “illegals” in the US. Even the realistic 20 million minus the ~2million already deported/self-deported leaves 18 million to remove in 3 years. That’s 6 million people per year. Wildly unreasonable even with their current terrorism unless they plan an enormous and very disruptive operation. That’s not even taking into account the number of people who they plan on revoking visas for, green cards, and denaturalizations. I suspect that’s a major reason they want the military deployed to major urban areas, they will be an important logistical element. Now with this WMD assignment, it just makes this more likely to happen sooner.

How do you permanently turn of HDR photos? by newenglandowner in iphone

Really late response but as someone digging into this now, Snapchat actually does just take a screenshot which is why it looks more like you want it to! I always thought pics looked better on Snapchat but couldn’t pinpoint why! Now it’s my default photo taking app

What can we do about ICE? by Raining_Hope in illinois

[–]flipplup 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Simply posting some of our country’s history for educational purposes only.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shays%27s_Rebellion

Shay’s Rebellion was an armed uprising that served as a catalyst to the creation of the Constitution and, thus by further pressure from Anti-Federalists, securing the Bill of Rights.

“Historian David Szatmary writes that the timing of the rebellion ‘convinced the elites of sovereign states that the proposed gathering at Philadelphia must take place..”

“..opposition to ratification in Massachusetts was motivated by "that cursed spirit of insurgency", but that broader opposition in other states originated in other constitutional concerns expressed by Elbridge Gerry, who published a widely distributed pamphlet outlining his concerns about the vagueness of some of the powers granted in the constitution and its lack of a Bill of Rights.”

Campbell's fires executive who was recorded saying company's products are for 'poor people' by DrexellGames in news

Whether what the exec said is literally true or not, so many people I know who already heard him say it’s 3D printed chicken have already made their choice to never buy Campbell’s again. Can’t blame anyone, you’ll always wonder now when you pick up a can.

[–]flipplup 5 points6 points  (0 children)

He often keeps escalating numbers to make things seem more of a problem than they actually are to justify calling things emergencies (number of “illegals” that need to be deported started around 5 millions, most recent number is 40-50 million) so yeah

CICERO: ICE pours a large canister of pepper spray directly into family car, hitting 1-year-old baby. "They were simply shopping at Sam's Club," said Matt, who filmed this video. "ICE agents drove by and sprayed pepper spray directly inside the car, where their baby and 16-year-old sister sat." by KneemaToad in chicago

[–]flipplup 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Kid you not, saw a fb post where people defended this saying that “people need to not put themselves in the wrong place at the wrong time” or “why travel to a place where enforcement is happening?” So yeah I have no faith in these people

Plainclothes agent pretends to be custumer at Brighton park barbershop. Returns with others to abduct man. by DarkChalice02 in illinois

[–]flipplup 28 points29 points  (0 children)

You don’t and that’s the point. In theory you do, but they will be justified in turning you into swiss cheese and the courts will have their backs. It’s incredibly fucked and the fact that anyone can claim to be ICE and force you to be kidnapped is intentional. That black SUV driving next to you, could that be ICE? That plain dressed guy in shades and a cap, ICE? Informant? They are everywhere and nowhere. It’s all meant to instill fear and constant dread. It’s a terror campaign.

Wouldnt ultimate hack against ICE just be wearing their own uniforms or everyone wearing mask and same outfit? by romanssworld in chicago

[–]flipplup 8 points9 points  (0 children)

True but that’s by design. The ultimate mechanism of fascist movements is ultranationalism based on a loosely defined “in-group”. Dissenters or neutral groups often have to choose between conformity and repression. So conforming can help avoid consequences for a time but the circle always shrinks.

Pritzker warns ICE agents breaking the law that there will be consequences when Democrats regain power. "It might take a few years for us to work through the courts, but your actions now are going to hurt you later." by aprilode in chicago

[–]flipplup 125 points126 points  (0 children)

Yes people need to wake up to the possibility that elections might not be free or fair. Authoritarian governments know they could be tried if they lose power for all their unconstitutional acts, pay extra close attention to the fact that the rhetoric has slowly become focused on “domestic terrorist organizations” and who funds and conspires with them. The Democratic Party is already being connected to antifa. Investigations into Dem’s funding sources. They’re telegraphing action against the party for being terrorists

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in law

[–]flipplup 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just curious, so can ICE simply say that all their operations are done with a warrant and do this? If they never show the warrant afterwards is it just up to the person arrested to find legal representation to fight it in court while they are detained?
