    “It’s crazy, they have people everywhere”

    Wonder how long it’ll take for it to sink in that they are indeed the baddies and are universally hated in that city, like an occupation force would be.

    This is not activism, it’s just what any good upstanding citizen defending American values would do.

        They literally can’t comprehend the idea of people genuinely working together for their communities. Every single thing a conservative does is followed by “what’s in it for ME?”

      “It’s crazy how the people who live in their neighborhoods are in their neighborhoods!” What literally no solidarity does to a motherfucker

      He makes it sound like operatives are loitering on every street corner, instead of just “hey, I’m out and about and I noticed this sus shit happening, imma let the signal group know what’s up”

        Good point. I would hope it’s a mixture of both.

        But these people seem to have this crazy idea that anyone not openly resisting them endorses them. It’s an important tool to show them otherwise. There should be no situation in which they feel welcome. They should be worrying that every pair of eyes could be reporting them. And it should be broadcast loud and clear that the situation is of their own making.


        ICE under Obama did operations against supposed extra criminal illegals (sex traffickers etc) and also against “illegals” (people just living their lives while “not supposed to be here” 🙄). While it’s definitely arguable they should have, they never got the kind of public resistance they’re now getting under Trump. At the very least that needs to be made un-ignorable.

        This whole situation is all the more damning because a certain amount of this sort of shit was acceptable as status quo. Not many people are going to wring their hands over actions taken against cartel or sex traffickers, or unfortunately people who can be convincingly labelled as such.

        So when it’s getting a response like this, it should be crystal clear just how fucking far over the line this is.


        I personally still have a hard time advocating for precautionary violence, but there’s surely a lot of ground to be gained in terms of breaking ICE morale.
