“I’m saying it right now,” Homan said. “There’s still going to be more bloodshed unless they shut their mouth and let ICE enforce the laws that they enacted.”
DHS has acknowledged that neither of the men who have been shot in recent weeks was the target of the ICE operations that led to their deaths.
A witness reported that Guerrero shouted, “I tried to stop” after being shot by an agent while his vehicle moved forward slowly.
So because I don’t go around murdering people who vote Republican, I’m a Nazi?
That’s a viewpoint that will really win a debate. Also, I’m guessing that makes you a Nazi, seeing as you live in the US and don’t seem to be in prison right now.
In the US, we can vote for politicians and we can go to protests and speak out against things we don’t like. We can boycott companies and events. Anything more than that risks more than just “making waves.” People are being killed for protesting ICE.
The point the person you are calling a Nazi is trying to make is that things aren’t bad enough yet that normal people who are just trying to keep their families safe would be willing to commit violent acts. Are you out there doing more than just typing on a keyboard or holding up signs at a protest?
I didn’t call you a Nazi, but if you’re feeling attacked, maybe take some time to reflect. That said, you seem to be willing to do the short term protections for your family. What about the long term? A decade from now? Two decades?
Myopia is best friends with timidity.
Voting is broken here. With entities like AIPAC and the Epstein class manipulating our system, with politicians too scared to do the right thing, with our antiquated system of representation that has had every loophole exploited, to rely on voting to save us is about as short-sighted as one can get.
I am not in prison. I am, however, doing things and I’m unwilling to write any of it down, even if it’s on Lemmy.
No “blue wave” will save us in November if the newly elected officials do nothing to limit their own power, or set term limits, or impeach Trump and find him accountable.
Anything short of an uprising will fall short, and even that is not a guarantee. Meanwhile, people are asking ChatGPT what its favorite color is or for dating advice.
