    COMMUNITY NOTE:

    Be aware that most of the troll posts that you see are exactly that…either Russian trolls or bots.

    The consistent carpet bombing of every political post to keep liberals occupied fighting with them about nonsense instead of banding together and coming up with a plan to mobilize against this fascist Nazi takeover is actually impressive in scope.

    Stop falling for this my fellow Redditors. Don’t take the bait, ignore the comment, and block if you have to. Keeping you occupied and distracted while they steal this democracy is the goal.

    ONLY engage with posts that deal with solutions, and that present ways to fight back both economically and socially.

    And please don’t fall for the ones that tell you you’re overreacting or to stay calm. Same crap with just a different tactic. This is NOT a drill. We have to fight back now or lose our democracy completely.

    Also this is for anyone who needs to hear this today. This is from another redditor.

    #Fuck this shit. We are not powerless!

    Delete x, fb, ig, messenger and all your meta apps. Cancel your subscriptions and go to the library. Make some likeminded friends locally there for mutual aid.

    Don’t comply in advance. Take your money out of banks and put into small local credit unions. If we all do this it will have a humongous impact. Changing your autopay and stuff sucks but it’s a lot easier than picking up a weapon.

    Don’t buy anything you don’t have to buy. Buy used, trade, or barter if you can. Reevaluate what you really NEED.

    Women need to boycott or sharply curtail spending in the beauty/fashion industry. Go natural and thrift. Trends are designed to keep us shopping. They’re designed for people who have money to burn. Our money is serving the oligarchs.

    White men need to call out bigotry don’t let that shit slide. “Oh, it’s a ‘Roman Salute’? Go ahead and do it while I film.” Call out misogyny. They’re gonna be testing you. Don’t fail us.

    And we all need to forget anything but the fact that the **obscenely wealthy of this country are trying to steal it from us, completely.** This is not left vs right. It is top vs bottom and all but **a thousand or so** of us are the BOTTOM.

    #The greed of the wealthy is the cause of nearly every major problem in the United States: poor healthcare, high maternal/infant death rates, poor food access and quality, low wages, high rent, and high insurance costs that WON’T PAY WHEN YOU NEED IT.

    SPREAD THE WORD. WE ALL CAN DO SOME OR MOST OF THESE THINGS.

    They are following Project 2025 to the letter.

    These are all collective actions we can take.

  3. So we’re just ignoring the Constitution now, or is it only optional depending on who’s being targeted?

  4. Sorry mayor, we are trying to get the price of eggs to go down. You got to take the good with the bad.

    When an ICE officer illegally arrests an American citizen, they should be liable for kidnapping or false arrest charges.

  6. Warrantless. Unreasonable documentation standards. Profiled.

    Due process nightmare in court for ICE.

  7. If you work basically anywhere and these fucks show up 1. Film everything
    2. Ask to see a warrant signed by a judge (not an immigration officer, not from ICE a US judge on official judicial letterhead).
    If they don’t have said warrant politely tell them to fuck off

  8. I wish we could claim we didn’t see this coming, but we did. The ICE raids are a way to racially profile people and arrest them with no prior knowledge of their status. It’s all based on assumption and racism

  9. As an average American, how when just walking down the streets can you Prove you are an American?

    Only around 13% have passports.

    Birth cert? Does not matter as you would need you Parents’ now as well.
    The cops would just tear them up, so only carry copies.

    A patriot who served in US military is arrested while cowardly draft-dodger/convicted felon sits free as President in White House?

  11. First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—

    Because I was not a socialist.

    Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—

    Because I was not a trade unionist.

    Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—

    Because I was not a Jew.

    Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

  12. It’s called ‘testing the waters’. See what happens when you do this and work out the kinks to be able to do this without repercussion in the future.

  13. On day 4 of Vance’s presidency, convicted felon and adjudicated insurrectionist Trump, who remains ineligible to hold office… conducted an illegal search, arresting an American Veteran with intent to deport him to a foreign country.

    Republicans and other death-to-America groups were ok with it, and did nothing.

  14. Writing from Poland, where we’ve been battling the internal autocrats and external despots backed by oligarchs, and only now have started making headway after over a decade of bad people chipping away at our democratic institutions.

    The time to act is now. This is not a harbinger of things to come – it’s in progress and it’s already too late.

    Obstruct whenever you can. Confront everyone. Don’t count on being able to coexist with these people. The hard truth is it’s mostly likely that y’all will have to settle for the lesser evil first to consolidate, as these people count and are dependent on their enemies being fractured.
