    I’m curious when somebody is gonna try to shoot them thinking they’re just being kidnapped.

      At the rate they are going, it will happen. I’m honestly surprised it has taken this long, a testament to the collective hope that it won’t be necessary. The first will probably be a right-wing nutjob or agent provocateur they try to illegally kidnap, that they’ll then claim is a Democrat. Already saw some footage of people in Tucson, AZ with shields and pepper balls shooting back at the ICE Treasonists.

      Hit the range and train up folks. The only good Nazi is a dead Nazi. They’re not taking this fucking country. (Still hoping it doesn’t come to that. The violence line is a hard one to come back from. Also, this message is not to be construed as a threat of violence. Only a statement of fact. Violence should always be avoided whenever possible, until it is necessary. The world came together to stop Nazis the first time, we may very well have to do it again.)

        It’s almost as if the narrative of these being criminals is a lie… Wouldn’t the first thing a criminal would on seeing a gang of masked men be to idono fucking shoot them?

          Almost! Who knew??

          Non-sarcasm: Sad thing is, with almost everything this administration says, apply a 1984-esque filter to it. So crap like the “rapists, murderers, and thugs” rhetoric spewed would translate into something like, “workers, families, and refugees”. Likewise, the rhetoric is often projection as well.

          A full unraveling thusly would be: The administration is actually the rapists, murderers, and thugs, and they are targeting workers, families, and refugees with the Constitutional, Federal, State, and Local crimes they are committing.

          Need to build an AI news filter tasked to parse all news articles on these topics so the real words are always used when they say anything. Shoot, probably a find/replace browser plugin could do it, although using an LLM would make it more dynamic.

      it should be all of us. we should be coordinating to do that very thing. way more effective than protests.

        You’re inviting martial law. I respect your passion though.

          you’re damn right. we have to be willing to fight them. living in fear of that outcome is defeat. if all they have to do is threaten us, then we’re already defeated.

            Who are you expecting to buy tanks or missiles from?

            I’m not risking my life at this point unless my family is in immediate danger. I got too much to lose to be a hero.

                You got some arms and explosive connect? It’s not like the movies.
