      Does this mean that the Big Beautiful Bill is all a lie and they’re secretly funding and building a super weapon to destroy the planet?

    I’m at a point now where I can’t wait for this all to blow up. Literally and figuratively.

    Going after our farm workers is not going to end well for anyone. I can only hope that someone in power will wake up and do something about it.

      They just need to make them prisoners and then they will be able to get back to working in the fields again.

      The people in power all see this as an absolute win. The things they’re trying to do about it is hire more ICE agents. It’s going to take a while before this blows up, and the only real way out of it is to hope that we have elections in a few years.

    Ah yes, the dangerous criminals that are out farming for slave wages. Good job ICE. I’m assuming that ICE is going to punish the farmer that employed these dangerous criminals? ICE has entirely lost the fucking plot…

      Oh they never had it to begin with. They were always just nazis, but now the leash is off. Even worse, they’re being pushed to fill quotas, which incentivizes recklessness and cruelty.

      The plot is to make people angry enough where they do something worthy of getting black bagged. The US government wants people to act irrationally.

      It’s a big country and unless the protesters have someway of knowing where the raids would happen before hand, you wont see them there. That’s why you see them(or don’t if the media is suppressing the story) at the detention centers or hotels they’re staying at.

      There are protests and people mobbing ice agents and standing in front of the boxcars and stuff. In LA/Paramount there were enough that they shit their pants and called daddy for backup. It’s not really possible for these remote farming communities to have mobs of people overwhelming ice because there just aren’t that many people in the middle of nowhere farms.

      If you haven’t heard about any resistance activity I strongly recommend you reconsider how and where you consume media.

        100% this. There’s been resistance everywhere over this. Minnesota drove out a bunch of ICE agents from their neighborhoods, there’s been major protests all over the US about it. Like… we’re for sure doing it.

      ICE is sneaking around the back roads in my city, and a local network sends out warning messages to local immigrants. I’m looking into what I can do as a citizen to make it more difficult for ICE, but I’m impressed by the messaging network that has been set up.

          I think they’ve got this on lock? But if you were to recommend something, what would you tell them? Most immigrants use WhatsApp anyway, which is secure, but i do have a friend who’s closely allied with this group.

            WhatsApp doesn’t really have as much of the baggage that the rest of Meta does, but it is still their product, so I would move if possible. Signal is another good app to get people on. At least if there is a “core” team that is sourcing and redistributing info around should be made aware of privacy and anonymity, so that the network does not get decapitated so to speak.

            The Hated One is a good youtube channel with resources around protesting. The guy is a bit of a paranoid, but his points still stand. He has some vids on how to make a burner phone. Some mesh network apps, and some info about removing metadata on digital files that might get shared around.

            As we get serious about protesting we need to be serious about our digital and physical security. We don’t want to use pages that can be taken down, nor do we want to give information that will allow ICE to take down our resistance networks in detail.

          The local Hispanic community started the message chain for the local Hispanic community, and they definitely have the system worked out amazingly: I get messages (in Spanish) about the presence of ICE in specific locations, as well as messages quashing false rumors about ICE. I know people in this organization are even following ICE vehicles around and messaging covertly… I mean, it’s just super impressive. Every undocumented immigrant I have asked (I know a lot) is already connected to this message group. I don’t know that an app would improve it in any way?

          Though, the group seems to be using some sort of program because when I signed up I got a few automated messages asking for some of my information, and I know that multiple people are messaging through this number with notifications.

          Regardless, go team! They are doing so much good.

          Use a drone to drop paint on their windshield when parked.

          Or drop liquid ass on the groups of cops/ICE, and/or their cars.

          Or if you know an ICE person, anonymously dox them.

    That UFW symbol design is going to draw some negative sentiment for the black insignia in a white circle on red flag. Looks like a copy/paste swastika reworked.

    White folks who don’t understand how words work and vote are going to think ICE are busting field Nazis.

            The suffering is the point with the maga death cult.

            I heard one say trump shouldn’t have to pay taxes but its ok they pay taxes. They will give anything to see a drop of suffering from the people they hate.
