Trump is a big man baby with mayonnaise for a brain.
But most of civilized society already knows this.
Yo Murica - something something, freedom of speech, tyrants & 2nd amendment? - or nah.
🤡
Nah. We’re a fascist nazi regime now.
Can we just reload to a better save point?
Truth.
Always were…
The US needs school shootings in order to defend democracy
Now with his own GeStaPo with a budget bigger than most of the worlds militaries, he can finally eradicate any opposition with ease. Well done, American voters, you got yourself a Führer.
Don’t owrry, he’ll file a spurious lawsuit against them soon, which they will immediately settle, in a totally-not-legalized-bribe means of smoothing over the upset.
It’s worked for ABC and CBS, why not CNN? Just threaten to pull their broadcast licenses, and accept a settlement bribe.
I suspect CNN won’t be the last.
That sound coming out of China…laughter.
If we allow Dogey America to survive, this won’t be a joke anymore. Children will be playing with Alligator Alcatraz playsets.
Don’t give them ideas.
triangular Lego plates?
I can’t believe I’m living though my country’s Nazi era. History will not be kind to us. I hate all of this. My sister voted for this and I’ll never forgive her.
My entire damned family voted for it… even my closest sibling who had never voted republican in her life… that other side indoctrinated hard… I’m so disgusted, and she even said “I’m so sad ice picked up one of my favorite co-workers!” “And you voted for that” apparently wasn’t the comfort she was seeking.
Even if we can finally purge MAGA from our government, and even have it declared a terrorist/hate organization, how do we deal with millions of brainwashed idiots? They aren’t going to change their minds easily, and accept that they were conned.
They were conned once, they can be easily conned again.
Dumb fucking bitch. Sorry.
I mean… these people are ignorant as shit.
Ignorant isn’t the right word. There has been a coordinated propaganda campaign for 30 years pointing toward this goal. What you’re seeing in these people didn’t happen overnight. Yes they are also ignorant. Nazi sympathizers were average citizens. Fascist propaganda is a powerful drug.
Too fucking true… just hurts to see it close by. I know she’s smart… she’s just, well indoctrinated… that cult is a hell of a drug
It IS a drug - Dopamine - and they are addicted to it. The Conservative Propaganda Machine knows it, and feeds it, giving them constant hits of Dopamine all day.
I’m sorry for your pain - I can’t imagine how hard this is for you. Hang in there, we feel for you.
And they’ll bend the knee. Throw some scapegoat under the bus, because this is the new Fascist America.
You chose this, America. Now no one will save us.
Daily reminder to all ICE agents. By signing up for ICE, you have signed yourself up for a lifetime of fear and criminal liability. There are Nazi concentration camp guards that were tried for their crimes in their 90s. There is no statute of limitations on crimes against humanity. Your names are recorded; your deeds are known. And you will face justice for your crimes. And do not count on a blanket pardon saving you. Crimes against humanity are violations of international law that cannot be pardoned.
They should also remember that murder peaked immediately post WWII in Europe as people got even with their Nazi tormenters.
They will complain that women won’t want to date them, but they also get to live in fear that the women who will date them are secretly planning to [redacted] them like O-Ren Ishii.
Your optimism can only be admired. However the US has already stated multiple times that it doesn’t care about international law and that Americans cannot be tried for war crimes and crimes against humanity, or they will invade the Netherlands. The ICC cannot even detain an American. This was during W Bush and his “war on terror”.
And then Trump recently reiterated it with a new executive order, imposing penalties and visa restrictions on people even helping the ICC to investigate Americans.
You’re assuming the US survives. If the federal government collapses chucking federal agents at the ICC would be a decent way to earn international legitimacy without expending worthwhile resources.
Those ICE agent would be very upset if they knew how to read
Good God I hope they are held accountable for their crimes
The people can start holding them accountable any time they choose, Luigi style.
Luigi is innocent. Stop.
So many ice agents here on Lemmy
Yes, obviously, but these type of comments are self-defeating and unhelpful. It’s more about trying to encourage the circulation of the idea that ICE needs to face criminal accountability. There should be a paragraph on ICE’s potential criminal liability in every article about them. People should mention their susceptibility to prosecution on every discussion about them. We should be including the topic of prosecutions in every casual conversation about ICE.
The right wing learned a long time ago that the public narrative matters. If there’s an idea worth spreading, then spread it. We need to get the idea of accountability in the public consciousness whenever possible. Otherwise, it’s the default instinct of every Democratic politician to try to be magnanimous when they’re elected. Liberals are by their nature non-confrontational; they’re happy to have people walk all over them. Obama and Biden both refused to prosecute the previous administration and tried to be grand peace makers, and look how that turned out. It will take a lot of public pressure if there’s ever going to be any accountability. That’s why we need to be circulating these ideas in the Zeitgeist. Yes, obviously this is just lemmy, but there’s no need to be such an unhelpful cynic.
Thank you. I am fully on board and you’re 100% speaking my language.
I’m a cynic because I want people to get pissed off. At least pissed off people might do something.
The left is sleeping on actually utilizing the Internet for spreading ideas. They need to stop showing up in the street and start actually producing content.
Like I just checked out Joe Rogan sub Reddit to see people shitting on him and found stuff like this. It’s funny and honestly gets so much attention even though it’s stupid. Where the fuck is this stuff on Lemmy. Are we just here to passively read articles and yell how we’re going to punch a Nazi and then not even bother to fight Nazi shit online?
Yeah, whenever i see someone here saying that we need to resort to violence, my immediate thought is always, “Ok tough guy, where’s your truck bomb?”
I do more IRL resistance work than at least 95% of the people on this site. And I’m not even talking protests. I’m directly, on the ground, working to help some of the people most hurt by the regime’s policies. I’m not into violence, but I’m not above disobeying unjust laws either. So it’s not like I’m some online slactavist that refuses to lift a finger to actually help people. The kind of work I do is the kind of thing I can’t even post about on social media.
But it is an incredible shame how the right has taken over so many online spaces. 10-15 years ago, the left more dominated online spaces. The early internet was a mix of very libertarian and progressive. Hell the internet was built from the ground up on socialist principles. But it’s the right that really learned how to use the net most effectively as a means of mass communication and propaganda. And they did so quite deliberately. There was a deliberate and organized campaign among white supremacists on places like stormfront to subtly move their message to the mainstream.
I think those on the left tend to view things from way too scholarly a perspective. Why repeat the same message if you’ve already written extensively about it before? Or make sure to not post simple understandable messages; instead start with a dozen qualifiers and provisos that end up watering down your whole message. It’s more important to be intellectually rigorous than it is to effectively communicate your values. Or there’s the tendency for purity tests that end up shoving away otherwise eager allies.
The right meanwhile has learned that even bold faced lies can become widely accepted if you simply repeat them loudly and often enough.
Point them out
It’s hard to identify them because they wear masks when they’re on here
Go get 'em Trumpie! ABC folded so obviously there is a lot of money to be extorted out there! America!!! /s
The shitty press enabled this. Let them fall on their own sword.
Oh cool, a president threatening to prosecute the press for reporting on something factually correct. Cool cool cool.
It’s about this app: https://www.iceblock.app/. Download it, use it.
Why TF has this topic been around for hours and has no one posted this? Why is the drama again made more important than the substance? Don’t let the hysteria win.
Here’s an ice tracking app for Android called F.I.R.E I saw in a recent reddit post
Can you tell us anything more about the app? How safe is it? Is there a discussion anywhere about it? Thank you.
Permissions looks normal for what it does. App scanner shows no trackers, but it does seem to use Google Firebase and Google login apis. I didn’t install it to look at network traffic. If anyone does, I’d be curious.
Download it, use it.
It is apparently restricted to US iTunes accounts only, for some brainless reason. So a lot of people who could potentially benefit from it simply can’t.
The fact it’s not available on f-droid makes me think it’s a honeypot.
Apple only, no website, is suspect af for an app that requires maximum privacy.
EDIT: maybe just incompetent devs, which is just as bad as the end result will be equivalent to a honeypot.
The website offers an explanation as to why there is no Android version. Basically it’s because Android would require them to maintain a database of Android users, which is a security issue if it gets confiscated by the government. They call those privacy concerns “non-negotiable,” and suggest Android users but a cheap old iPhone model to use the app.
The apk could be released outside of Google and its policies. They could even open source it.
Even with an iPhone it is inaccessible without a US account.
The United States provides the best historical reenactment of Nazi Germany ever. Living history in action folks!
Donald Cuck and his band of children molesters have been obsessed with Hitler forever. We were always a fascist nation, now we are a fascist nation of Nazi cosplayers.
Just wait until they add the bonus Great Depression reenactment!
Noem told reporters alongside Trump on July 1 as they toured a new detention center in the Florida Everglades known as
“Alligator Alcatraz.”“Alligator Auschwitz.”That’s the correct name.
This needs to stick.
It’s got like 24 hrs left.
Do we know yet that it’s an extermination camp? Because it’s not like it’s the first modern concentration camp in the US. We’ve just been calling them detention centers.
Auschwitz started as “just a concentration camp” too.
Eventually countries will stop accepting our deportees and then what will they do? The answer is simple:
They’ll come up with a final solution.
Right, but why is this concentration camp deserving of comparison to Auschwitz? We already have several.
But… alligators.
Let’s see what happens once a detainee gets partially consumed.
Because alligator alliterates with Auschwitz.
I saw a good Dachau-pun name for it, but it might have been so morbid I blocked it out, because I can’t remember what it was
