Tips to vet whether a person you are dating or know might be working for ICE? (lemmy.world)

I think it would be good for the community and people in the US to have ways to make sure they’re not creating relationships with ICE agents. If the community doesn’t want it all good. and obviously not meant to profile people.

Obviously we know some names of agents who have murdered people: Jonathan Ross, Brian Palacios, Jesus Ochoa, Raymundo Gutierrez
I presume they’d be pretty conservative and machismo. Maybe have some blue lives stickers on their truck.
Maybe tattoos, specifically Punisher. Could be police also.

What else could you use to sniff out if somebody is ICE if they’re hiding it from you?

So I'm going to be downvoted for this because I always am and I am always shocked but when it comes to women's rights and LGBTQ rights, I am easily on the side of Israel.

I can hate everything that is happening in Gaza to women and children by Israel and yet not want a Palestinian state if it's going to be ruled by Hamas. And I'm dumbfounded by leftists and liberals who support them.

it's called pinkwashing and you get downvotes because it's a relatively well documented form of propaganda; which means that the only way anyone can still fall for it is if they're willfully ignorant of the body work that proves its propaganda.

So you'd agree to "fuck the IDF and Hamas"?

I don't care what the term is, I haven't fallen for propaganda. Hamas will kill LGBTQ where they stand, it's fact. I'm sorry if this destroys your reality but come on. We already know how they treat women. If the people of Palestine actually overthrow hamasand show they want freedom for women and LGBTQ, the I will fully be on their side , but to me, wanting to help Palestine is like wanting to help southern evangelicals. Don't do that.

propaganda isn't automatically misinformation and you're choosing to fall for this form of it (and very likely others); which is why you get downvotes.
