Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

ICE arrested Juan's uncle in late October, on a freeway on-ramp while he was on his way to work early in the morning, around 5 a.m. Juan said his uncle’s arrest — and that of several others — sent a chill through the neighborhood.

A day after his uncle's arrest, Juan said he was stopped by law enforcement on the freeway in the middle of the road. He describes four cars surrounding him, and slowing down to a stop on the freeway. He believes it was ICE. He suspects they followed him from his uncle's neighborhood and were waiting for him the next day.

Speaking from a part of the country where ICE came and backed out (for now), we were organizing neighborhood watches hours before the boots hit the ground.

Although ICE might be getting more efficient in every new city, the resistance is also getting more efficient. The people take the latest volunteer training materials from the last occupied city and then they trainthe new city. Moreover, the cities that know it’s coming have been hiring paid community organizers who can help onboard and organize when its go time.

Now we just need arms distribution too

A dozen (or even half a dozen) armed citizens awaiting ICE in every neighborhood would have a chilling effect on their bullshit pretty fucking quick.

Giving a few of them an additional structurally sufurious rear oriface by way of high speed metallic injectons also helps cool their heels.

Where is that?

If masked men are allowed to kidnap people without warrants or accountability we were never “free” and the constitution was never real. Buy guns, buy ammo and protect your loved ones. Facists don’t leave peacefully.

Only one thing ever stopped Nazis and we all agreed on it until a couple decades ago.

ICE has no place anywhere, but get the fuck out of seattle.

The KKK did the same shit. ICE is the re-re-birth of the KKK run by a New York liberal
