Sure sounds like Anyone who isn’t MAGA should buy a gun and start training with it. Civil war is on its way.
Liberals with guns is a good resource.
Anyone considering arming themselves should be trained.
As far as civil war goes, we still have our boxes of Liberty and there are four of them. The order is important.

The result of any form of armed coup will always be decided by the military. You'll have to see how deep the administration can sink its claws there before something happens.
I half expect there will be a false flag attack on the 18th or 19th. They'll use it to shut down protests using martial law and kick off the insurrection act on the 20th.
And there it is. Combine this "accident" with the Death Master List and you have a recipe for "accidentally" ruining people's lives who are retired or disabled. We know how this administration handles mistakes now as well.
What does a person who is declared dead but indeed still alive do when this happens and they lose income, housing, and medical insurance? Asking for a very terrified friend.....
Administration "mistakenly" flags you as dead. FBI does a "stop and frisk": you present your ID. That person is dead, claiming to be them is fraud. You have no citizenship papers, so you can be deported on the accusation of fraud, sans due process. At the destination, you can call for habeas corpus, if relevant in that jurisdiction.
Don't expect the administration to "facilitate" your return in any meaningful way.
Or you get sent to the concentration camp in el Salvador
That is one possible destination for deportation, yes.
i saw someone filming supposed ICE agents on the train the other day. we need networks that identify these people and blast their faces to the public. the public needs to be a vigilante mob. the only way we put this in check is to turn the guns on them instead of us being the hunted.
There needs to be a crowd-sourced app to track ICE, like Waze with media upload. And a slingshot with velcro-covered AirTags to keep a further eye on them.
It's fucking crazy how one sided the surveillance state is. The old justification is that it is to exonerate the innocent and catch the guilty in truth it is usually to catch whoever the fuck they don't like and also will delete anything that might remotely incriminate them or release it only after their guys are acquitted as a giant fuck you (look up the murder of Daniel Shaver).
yeah. we all know it's bullshit but it's up to us to change it. the dems aren't going to solve this. the republicans aren't going to solve this. a corporation isn't going to solve this.
we really need to stop saying "they" and start saying "we".
It wasn’t always so one sided. Jane Jacobs wrote about the power and effect of local community surveillance over the streets in her book The Death and Life of Great American Cities. When we zone for and build mixed use streets with enough density and points of interest to ensure foot traffic at all points in the day from a variety of ordinary people, with a healthy percentage of them being established locals, then it’s much easier for good samaritans to notice when something goes wrong (like a kidnapping attempt) and intervene. Privacy used to be a lot easier to achieve too when you needed it.
We have the technology to make 1984 a reality. And we're slowly making our way to actually implementing it. Once the apparatus is in place it is immovable.
#icecreamtruck on RedNote has been pretty good at flagging ICE agents.
She should hire (trustworthy) security guards willing to kill. Doge Boys will be coming for her, simply because Trump's deranged word is law.
Because everyday people totally have the money for armed security guards who are willing to shoot Cops for you? Where does one hire these "trustworthy" people?
People who want to form Rainbow Panthers, especially persecuted minorities. They just need food on the table, munitions, and some sort of goal. Breaking ICE who assault schoolchildren and other innocents would certainly be a goal.
Also, the lady is an attorney. She probably has some savings, connections, and a willingness to go pro bono for people who need an public defender against the Trump Regime. The real roadblock is for people to accept that the 'norms' are dead, and to act accordingly. Considering we have a rapist of a president who intends to butcher Americans, I don't think militias against ICE are a stretch.
Those Doge Pukes should have been gunned down in the first government lobby they tried to storm. At that point, they had all the authority of pirates, and were operating totally illegally. Now they've been "authorized."
"Micheroni says she won't be reaching out to Homeland Security, and figures this is an administrative error.
She hopes nothing more comes of it."
I'm surprised she's being so sedate about this, I'd get it in front of a judge immediately to establish a paper trail.
It would also be good to find out who else they are doing this to.
Considering they already have accidentally sent somebody to an El Salvador torture prison and are ignoring a court order to even attempt to bring them back... Yeah she should really be raising hell over this.
"Accidentally"
Indifferently.
Maleficence.
She's offering them the "benefit of the doubt," to let them correct their error. Unfortunately, the general response to mistakes is to double down on their stupidity.
Idk, that's a lot of vowels in her last name and we are returning to 1939 fascism. I wish I was joking. Ice / Homeland security is basically the Gestapo now.
Ice / Homeland security is basically the Gestapo now.
It always has been for literally millions of people.
they’ve been unjust for quite a while now, but no, they just recently became the gestapo and they were not before.
raiding innocent people’s homes, people whose legal status isn’t in question… and sending them to fucking El Salvador mega prisons where they never release prisoners… life/death sentences for nothing other than being hispanic is basically the gestapo, and they were not doing that before….
separating children from parents and putting them in cages was bad… but not gestapo bad….
Do you want a list of lawful US residents imprisoned and tortured in Gitmo who have been determined to have no ties to terrorism? The US has been Nazi-adjacent from the time nobody batted an eye about the “Dept of Homeland security” and “the Patriot Act.”
I am torn between "This kind of amateur-hour bullshit is why they will not succeed. If you're going to be a properly tyrannical government you have to have your paperwork in order and your threats have to be credible threats, not just random bullshit with every email you can find put into 'BCC'" on one hand, and on the other hand "No one says she won't get her door kicked down and whisked away even though she didn't do anything wrong at all, just because she's one of the class of people who's historically been exempt from it. They definitely will start doing that to citizens at some point, it's just up in the air how soon it will start and how much resistance there will be."
They're doing tyranny by testing the fences. Unlike the raptors in Jurassic Park, though, they have yet to find a spot that's properly electrified.
An accident, or a test?
As an outsider looking in, everything this regime does is testing the waters to see if they can get away with that, and if so how much further can they push it.
If someone doesn't actually take real action to stop it soon, it may become unstoppable.
Lol, they're sending in en masse.
I'll bet a straight white cisgender man also got it.
I mean, have you seen their OPSEC? They sent classified materials to some journalist 🤣
