Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

You’re going to see more ICE agents than you’ve ever seen before.

Wouldn't it be something to see a New Yorker just walk up to an ICE agent and shoot them in the head? It seems to be what they're trying to provoke. We already have 2 characters from Mario Party.

We have Luigi

and

Warehouse Luigi

Wonder who would be next. Warrio?

At this point I'm half expecting someone to charter flights and deport captured ICE agents.

Literally everything the administration does is rape-coded.

"Oh, you don't want these people in your city harassing your citizens and you've gone through the trouble of making laws with intent to enforce to prevent it from happening? Well then we're just going to do what you don't like even harder then!"

Literally everything is "oh people don't like it well here's more of it then since you don't like it" when it comes to these asshats.

It's way beyond "the cruelty is the point" by now.

[–] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 hour ago

Yeah, it's just straight up fascism. They don't care how it makes people feel so long as it sets a precedent.

[–] BeMoreCareful@lemmy.world 4 points 4 hours ago

I had always hoped that my work life would be my most abusive relationship.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago)

You know, I never looked at it that way, but it's absolutely true.

These people just think they're entitled to rape everything and everyone. Literally and figuratively.

[–] ceenote@lemmy.world 75 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Bluffing. They couldn't even handle Minneapolis.

[–] rockSlayer@lemmy.blahaj.zone 54 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Not only couldn't they handle us, our anarchists taught NYC anarchists how we resisted. We walked so they can run.

[–] Sunflier@lemmy.world 16 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Is ICE still gone from Minneapolis? Or, did they pause, wait for the anger to die down, and now they operate with impunity?

[–] rockSlayer@lemmy.blahaj.zone 33 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

They truly did draw down. I don't know the actual number anymore, but it's somewhere around 100 - 200. They're still out here kidnapping people, but the resistance is still ongoing. In fact, the contractor providing fences for the Whipple building is pulling out, so now ICE has no barrier

[–] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 1 points 3 hours ago

They should have made the fences with a critical weak point that they leak to resistance groups.

No fence just means the gestapo will look for another contractor.

[–] Drusas@fedia.io 29 points 23 hours ago

And they're struggling to find parking in Manhattan after the owner of the garage they had been leasing decided not to renew the contract.

[–] turtlesareneat@piefed.ca 44 points 1 day ago

Why does everyone compare this to rape... it's just having masked men thrust onto you without consent --oh right I see it now

[–] Microtonal_Banana@lemmy.zip 29 points 23 hours ago* (last edited 23 hours ago)

Thats a great way to unify a city of almost 9 million people against a common enemy. Try it.

[–] AbidanYre@lemmy.world 24 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I don't know what you're talking about. His head just spontaneously did that on its own.

[–] Drusas@fedia.io 16 points 23 hours ago

Heck of a thing.

[–] mikenurre@lemmy.world 26 points 1 day ago

The party that not only refuses to seek consent, but aggressively attacks those who refuse consent. AKA Rapists. Release the Trump-Epstein files!

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 15 points 23 hours ago (2 children)

[–] BlameTheAntifa@lemmy.world 2 points 45 minutes ago

I can hear this gif.

[–] Sunflier@lemmy.world 3 points 23 hours ago (2 children)

I don't get it.

[–] LostCarcosan@lemmy.today 12 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

It's a movie about a gang called the Warriors trying to get home, running through other gang controlled territories. This is a scene with the main antagonist taunting the Warriors, asking them to come out to play so his gang can attempt to beat/kill them. It's a pretty good movie called The Warriors

[–] watson387@sopuli.xyz 5 points 14 hours ago

Can you dig it?

[–] EvilBit@lemmy.world 13 points 22 hours ago

It’s a classic scene from The Warriors. He’s saying “Warriorrrrs, come out to plaaaaayyyyaaaayyy…”

[–] frustrated_phagocytosis@fedia.io 16 points 1 day ago (1 children)

There are millions of people in NYC, just flood the streets wherever they show up. They will probably be able to run over a few protestors but if thousands are in the street it will slow down even the most murderous goon.

[–] aramis87@fedia.io 12 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

Trump’s border czar threatens to flood New York with ICE agents BECAUSE OF Resistance

FTFY

[–] Blibly@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The evil within really does on a number on their looks, eh? Just look at these ugly vampires. If you cast them as themselves in a movie people would be like "Idk the ghoulish makeup was a little bit much right!?"

[–] SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

You know this is really cruel and dismissive to kind, loving, wonderful people who happen to not measure up to social beauty standards.

There are beautiful evil people as well.

Yes, the MAGA cult is ugly but the only ugly that matters is the ugly inside, and MAGAs are ugly inside.

[–] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 7 points 23 hours ago

Honestly given that Maralago face exists, I'm still gonna judge. They have enough wealth to get good work done, they choose to look like 1980s stereotypes of shitty plastic surgery. Especially given the fact that plenty of them looked just fine before they started getting it done.

[–] Blibly@lemmy.world 3 points 22 hours ago* (last edited 22 hours ago) (1 children)

I don't care save the guilt trip for someone with less resolve. They ugly.

Not to mention they're the ones constantly shitting on people, demanding everyone fits into what they deem attractive or acceptable, and making fun of everyone else's looks and these ugly fucks can't even have the decency to live up to their own standards? Yeah I don't fucking care.

[–] SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 0 points 21 hours ago* (last edited 21 hours ago) (1 children)

You completely missed the point that you are making good ugly people feel shame and like they're being associated with these people because they were born unfortunate looking. Because your implication is that being evil actually impacts how you look, which further implies all ugly people are evil. The people I give a shit about in this situation are the people caught in the crossfire, I'm not here to save MAGA feelings, I'm here to save the feelings of people who have been shamed for being born with similarly unofortunate looks being shamed further by being told that if they're ugly it must be because they're evil inside.

But you do you.

yawn

[–] Freefall@lemmy.world 4 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Those poor poor ICE agents 🤣

[–] Sunflier@lemmy.world 4 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Do not pity them. They'd get what they deserve.

[–] Freefall@lemmy.world 2 points 4 hours ago

That's the joke...zero pity here.

[–] bradinutah@thelemmy.club 4 points 1 day ago

"How about New York?" "Well, there are certain sections of New York, Major, that I wouldn’t advise you to try to invade."

[–] the_riviera_kid@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

Just start blasting, they are going to kill you anyway you might as well take some with you.

[–] IAmYouButYouDontKnowYet@reddthat.com 1 points 23 hours ago

Gangstalking is real. Ice is an extension of it.
