How so? Masked men grabbed Rumeysa Ozturk off the street, caught on camera and even questioned by passers by. I haven't seen their identites released, and I don't see how it will happen unless the federal government wants it to happen.

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:
- Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
- When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
- More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- No politics
- If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
- A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.

You're speaking of the now.
I'm speaking about after this regime falls, and it's time to to account for the crimes against humanity.
That’s so bold of you to assume they’re making the high school bullies do their own paperwork.
We couldn’t even get them to fill out a single page card for the national crime database.
They will be found through their record of employment.
Most of their agents are too stupid to understand that they'll need to go into hiding when this regime falls.
Take the opportunity now to get their names and faces, so that it's harder for them to slither away later.
We have meticulously kept personal records for the majority of all SS,SD,Gestapo and for a fair share of Wehrmacht soldiers. And due to the way German records work (mamdatory resident recording offices) and the fact that almost everyone was "involved" (almost all men were either with the SS, the Wehrmacht or other organs or belonged to the small number of people in jobs though important enough to be needes on the home front)the chances for people to actually evade were rather slim. Claiming you were not "not doing anything" wasn't feasible and claiming you were with a unit that was "not doing anything wrong" was rather hard as well and could easily be disproved when none from that unit knows one. (Not to mention the SS tattoo)
The issue never were the few guys that made it to South America. The issue was never that people did not know who was a member of the SS or the Gestapo. The issue was that none fucking cared. The US couldn't care less as long people were staunch anticommunist or helped them otherwise,the UK were a bit more involved but mainly wanted to get their own economy back up so the empire didn't fall in shambles. The French did have a bit more vigor,but not for long. And the Germans just wanted to "leave shit behind them".
And unlike the US we are talking here about a post -facism occupation period. This won't happen. It will be, if the US will be able to overcome it within the lifetime of the current perpetrators(which, given the technology advances in mass suppression is not necessarily a given) a democratic revolution more like what happened in Spain or Chile. Look how it went there.
And... unlike paper which is harder to get rid off than people think, data can be deleted within short notice. Just as the last Trump administration did.

They can just scrub everything before they lose power. Remind me what happened with the phones of the Secret Service when they were investigating Trump?
They are using Signal as we've seen with Leaky Pete. Signal deletes all the info automatically after some time. Since it's an end to end encrypted messaging app nobody can recover those messages. Not even Signal themselves. Who's to say they aren't using in other instances as well.
And finally, Trump can pardon the lot of them and they will never see justice.

Weren't the Nazis meticulous about their records? The new crop know better than to leave a paper trail
They're as skilled and aware as the January 6 insurrectionists.
They'll all be found, and all will be ratted out by the communities that they've harmed.

Then they’ll still need border guards, soldiers, police, judges. The “good German soldier” myth was created because if every Nazi were to be prosecuted, the nation would be paralysed.
At the same time though, now that things like that are already out in the open it's going to be a lot harder. I've already seen videos of people yelling at cops that are harassing and questioning alleged immigrants.
The video of Rumeysa being disappeared is so chilling. The passers by asking why they are covering their faces. They say they are police, but they are not wearing uniforms. It's hard to hear in the video for me, but they're just wrangling her like an animal. Taking her bag off of her back while she is terrified and turning in circles. Where is due process for anything? (This question is rhetorical. Sad that constitutional enforcement is a rhetorical point now.)
They did it during Black Lives Matter. Would cover their faces, remove their badges, and use rental cars to pull people off the street and disappear them. It's happening now with ICE.
To be clear:
ICE agents have home addresses. They have lives away from work. People in their lives, from family members to acquaintances, who have direct knowledge of them being ICE agents.
Start collecting identifying information, that will help apprehend them after this regime falls.
When this regime falls; they won't permit being voted out of office.
Why wait until after? These people need to be named and shamed. Prosecute them while we still have the ability to do so.

We need a wiki where regular people can document and store evidence on the nazis, fascists and enablers currently destroying America. Not just ICE, but everyone. A place where sleuths can unmask and put a name on the worst of them. Where hackers can upload ICE payroll or employee databases. Perhaps even put together an interactive map showing where these people live so their neighbors can be safe.
Once the bastards see their names in print with proof of their crimes out in public perhaps they'll realize how short their future is. Otherwise it'll come in handy for the trials.
Be the change you want to see.
Start documenting.
Something like that would have to be ultimately physically hosted by someone outside the US to prevent it from being shut down so... Anyone got any foreign friends u/[email protected] can talk to?
Could host it as a .onion on TOR.
That doesn't solve the problem of needing a physical server with the data stored on it existing somewhere.
Right, but it doesn't necessarily need to be physically located outside of the US. There's always risks when dealing with the resources available to state-level actors, but a VPN with a foreign endpoint and Tor over that VPN would mitigate most of the risk.
Personally, I'd rather be safe and assume that it would still only be a matter of time before they found the server and took it down if it was within their jurisdiction. Best to keep it entirely out of reach.
Access is important. People should be able to easily read it without specialized browsers.
Can we do it playing card style like they did with the 9/11 terrorists and pick them off one by one for funsies?
Like these websites that HF made. BTW, it's been a few months since I've seen these, and there is a new button at the bottom that says if you are on their site and want to be removed, click there. It takes you to a form where you can upload evidence that you have resigned or been fired before they will remove you.

Isn't this essentially WikiLeaks?
I don't think it really falls in the same category, but I do think a similar wiki format would work.
Consider hosting it over Tor

I doubt next democratic admin will do anything about it.
Y'all got too much faith in the regime.
If maybe if AOC gets it, but they will neuter her
We haven't had a real president since JFC.... Just useful regime whores
Jimmy Fucking Carter? John Fitzgerald Christ?
JFK*
But the irony is palpable

I don't think there's gonna be a Nuremberg trials this time around
The trials will be home brewed.
Americans don't like being told what to do by foreigners.
This time around though, there will be no appeasement that allows for a Southern Strategy again.
Well you're certainly more optimistic than me.

Sorry to say that the fast majority of German Nazis did not only get off without any form of repercussions after 1945, they often even kept their jobs in government. The Nürnberg and subsequent trials only covered the high profile cases, that had not successfully fled. For the Nürnberg trials that were 22 people, while the subsequent trials only found 2,500 of 100,000 arrested Germans guilty of war crimes. Of those only 177 were tried, 142 were convinced and 25 were sentenced to death. These numbers also exclude the 1,600 German scientists, engineers and technicians that the US government took with project paperclip.
And it wasn't for a lack of documents.
There are a surprising amount of German surnames in Argentina and Brazil

You can evade justice if your Reich lasts long enough.
It's sad when old corrupt criminals just outlive any repercussions, and the systems that shields them becomes the norm.
