Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- 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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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!

The protests show you have support. Find ways to resist ice
You see masked people with guns don't engage with them or ask for ID. That's dangerous for you, and it's not your job.
Instead, immediately call 911 and report a group of masked individuals with guns at your location.
You just need to get in the way. Slow them down. It works
i wonder, what do you, personally, think of slashing ice's car's tires? Do you think it's too violent, or is it just right?
the idea behind it is to "not let them get away with it".
I.e., when ice shows up in a place to disappear citizens, instead of driving away with these people, they get stuck because they can't drive away. This way, they don't get away with it.
Destroying property, as long as it's not somebody's home, is not violence in my opinion. Government vehicle? Fucking go for it.
WE own those government vehicles. I can do anything I want to my own car.
Exactly
What ice is doing is not legal. Unidentified masked kidnappers should be met with resistance. Resistance is not the same as slashing random car tires.
Why can't resistance include slashing ~~random~~ ICE's tires?
