2. It's going to get more difficult to minimize this stuff and sweep it under the rug

Wide nets, blindly cast with disregard to rule of law cause these masked agents of trump's Ministry of White Power to engage in absurd and downright abusive mistakes. Provocateurs may have about another week to pretend, sea-lion, and what-about these events, but soon the vents will overtake even their blindness and force them to see.

[littlemissmartypants]

5. I wish we didn't need so many different ways to describe straight up bullying. ❤️

[Hornedfrog2000]

13. More difficult for who?

I think our side is a bit dellusional on the fact this will continue to happen, and it might be even easier.

[rzemanfl]

15. You meant to say "events."

[Initech]

19. Agreed. Trump and his nightmare Fox cabal need to be thrown out now

And Fox and the Heritage Foundation need to be declared enemies of the state.

[Johonny]

3. ICE are bad people, doing bad things to good people

And we all knew this would happen

[Initech]

20. And they're being led by the third worst person in the world.

Only Putin and Xi are worse. And that's saying something.

[moonshinegnomie]

4. thats why you use a live stream app

live uploading to the cloud. either on tik tok or some othe rservice. that way even if they take your phone the footage is still there

[hamsterjill]

6. For us oldies, please

How do you do that?

[moonshinegnomie]

27. facebook has the ability to livestream

.theres also an app called twitch that can livestream. those are probably the 2 easiest.

[hamsterjill]

29. Thanks.

I will learn.

[moonshinegnomie]

30. we all are

who ever thought americans would need to learn from hong kong protestors on how to deal with thug cops

[hamsterjill]

32. Ain't that the truth!!!!

I have been contacting family and friends this morning just to make sure that everyone has a plan. I feel like a fearmonger for doing it, but the fact is that everything we've seen people speculating about as to what's going to happen is actually happening. Almost in the order that the speculation has described.

The gut reaction is to want to say "oh, that'll never get that far", etc., but it IS getting there and we have GOT to take this seriously.

[moonshinegnomie]

35. i took it to the extreme

i bought ammunition and a weapon. (im in texas)

[hamsterjill]

43. So am I.

n/t

[soldierant]

46. Of course it's happening, and of course it's in that order.

There are playbooks for this - and they are being followed

[TomSlick]

45. I've installed Twitch on my phone.

I even think I've figured out how to use it.

I can't imagine there will be any trouble in Hot Springs. But if there is, I'm ready.

Thanks.

[William769]

7. This is all I can do right now.

[Javaman]

8. start getting body cams.

easier to hide.

[Attilatheblond]

10. And if you have a Service Dog, get the dog a camera too

[FirstLight]

14. wish I had a BIG DOG!...I'd train it to sniff out the racists

and go after the ones in FAKE uniforms!

[Attilatheblond]

36. I have a 117 pound mutt who loves Hispanic working guys and probably lived on taco truck food while a stray

She can sniff out good guys and bad guys. Her sidekick is a 3 legged survivor of the AZ borderlands desert. He is extremely protective and his bark is intimidating, but his bite might be deadly. Dog's mouth reminds my of a gator.

I think most dogs can 'sniff out' people with bad intentions.

[CrispyQ]

51. This is an excellent idea.

Wow. There are a huge variety!

[IronLionZion]

9. I keep hoping enough public support will turn against this

sooner or later

[IrishBubbaLiberal]

11. ICE are nothing but the tyrant's lawless racist goons abducting innocent people

These Fascist Nazis grabbed a US citizen at Home Depot because she was recording the ICE thugs inside the store.

It is 100% legal for anyone to record police in a public place, Home Depot is a public place.

Trump’s ICE Gestapo don’t give a rats ass about the laws in USA.
ICE is nothing but a lawless gang of abusive criminals grabbing and
abducting people without any legal warrants.

[Attilatheblond]

37. When PeeWee German issued that 3000 per day quota, it assured ICE would grab anyone brown with a pulse

And I have read that Big Butthole Bill includes $25K bonuses for all ICE agents. They are not recruiting the best and brightest.

[orangecrush]

First they came for the ____________and I did nothing because I wasn't a _______________.

[barbtries]

17. they're ruling with fear.

hoping to terrorize right thinking people into surrendering their rights proactively.

fuck them. I'm balls to the walls petal to the metal never giving up at this point. fuck them to hell and below

i mean it really makes me feel quite angry.

[Initech]

21. Agreed! What they are doing to my city is inconceivable.

He is seriously crossing some lines that should never be crossed.

[bdamomma]

24. Things are escalating

because things that this regime and Stephen Miller hoped would happen did not. The People are getting aware what they see is not what they like.

The regime is out of control, things are not going the way they planned. I have just finished listening to this other thread. Please take a listen please. Stephen Miller and the Felon are out of control, they are lashing out on Americans right now. And I even read that people are walking around with their passports now to prove they are Americans. Papers please, WTF!!!

Protests all over the US, the crowds will be big for this. Please read guidelines for peaceful protests.

18. The next Democratic President needs to disband ICE

The organisation is corrupted to the core and needs to be rebuilt from the ground up.

[Initech]

22. CBP too.

[Alliepoo]

34. I 100% agree that ice needs to be disbanded.

I respectfully disagree that it needs to be rebuilt. It needs to be burned to ashes, never to be heard from again. We don’t need ice.

[Joinfortmill]

23. That's a very good point. We're in it & looks like we're alone.

[stollen]

25. I keep hearing "Home Depot"

Is Home Depot a conduit to ICE?

[justaprogressive]

26. no it's where contractors

send their workers to pick up orders...

[sop]

28. In many cities temporary day laborers, mostly undocumented immigrants, congregate in Home Depot parking lots,

waiting to be hired by contractors and other construction people. Many Home Depots (informally) reserve a section of their parking lots where these interactions occur. I suppose ICE targets Home Depot because that's where they can most easily arrest undocumented immigrants.

[Wingus Dingus]

31. Makes a good public spectacle, and doesn't take workers away from business owners who

need them--win win!

[eppur_se_muova]

33. Yep, also Lowe's. Wherever contractors shop.

Saw plenty of this in San Antonio (76% Spanish-speaking, last I checked). Most are legal, but ICE wouldn't care.

[Attilatheblond]

38. Our local Walmart is another spot where people with work to be done can find day laborers who work hard

The day laborers generally on the shaded side of the building, where the Curbside Orders Pickup spot is.

[moondust]

49. It may be irrelevant that

Home Depot was founded and run by RWers.

Like Ken Langone:

Langone is a major donor to the Republican Party.[2] He describes himself as a "loyal, enthusiastic Republican"[14] and opposes single-payer healthcare, free college tuition, and guaranteed minimum income, deeming these policies to be a form of "socialism."
~
Langone heavily donated to efforts to defeat Barack Obama in the 2012 presidential election.[17] He led an effort by a group of wealthy Republican donors to draft Chris Christie to run; when he declined, Langone backed Mitt Romney.[17] He criticized the Affordable Care Act championed by Obama,[19] although he was also critical of Republican congressional leadership for triggering a government shutdown in an effort to block the ACA.[14] In 2014, Langone likened populist appeals to raise taxes on the rich in the United States to Hitler's rhetoric in Nazi Germany in the 1930s.
~

There could conceivably be some coordination with the White House.

[Figarosmom]

39. I want to know who these "ICE" guys are.

They are not law enforcement. These guys have been recruited abd given free rein, just fir the purpose of rounding up brown and black people. It seems people recording and reporters have been added at least to threaten and harrass.

[Pachamama]

40. Pardoned J6ers, Proud Boys, White Nationalists etc

41. GD Fascist ICE Pricks! Chicken Shits Afraid

Ameica is going to know who they Are.

47. Everyone knows rapists and murders shop at Home Depot

[haele]

48. We called our senators and Congress critters.

Pointing out that at the very least, ICE agents need to be in standard uniform, no masks, name tags and official badges, because basically, they might as well be wearing hajib because they're doing shit they know is wrong and could get them hauled up to a trial when their little empire building experiment does fall apart.
Also, the way ICE is operating make the US less safe, especially for businesses and wealthy f'ers Any criminal gang could swarm a high end store or restaurant claiming to look for undocumented employees to rob it and customers; any psycho could easily get a cosplay type uniform and target people - including MAGA - to hold for ransom, torture, rape or kill.
Just look at what happens in countries run by gangs and "private security" - like Haiti or Columbia.

Yes, what ICE doing is definitely unconstitutional and the first step to fascism. But MAGA cares only for their own skin, and pointing out how ICE is increasing the danger to the public the way they operate can blunt the support for their attack on democracy.

[DENVERPOPS]

50. If you think SHE is frightened

think of the un-fathomable number of CHILDREN that were taken from their parents and who were just "disappeared" in Trumps first Reign of Terror.
