Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Joe Biden changed nothing about ICE and became a border hawk and Kamala Harris said something like Trump would rather run on a problem than solve a problem, that problem being immigrants. debord-tired

Don’t ever forget the fragility of human life. No matter your physical capabilities, or your influence with those around you, everything can end in a matter of an instant by those you consider beneath you. Certain people need to be reminded of their place.

[–] BodyBySisyphus@hexbear.net 30 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You'd think the grunts would be aware of this fact on the basis of their superiors treating them as disposable but I guess a little body armor and a riot shield is all that's needed for the illusion of invincibility.

[–] booty@hexbear.net 44 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Honestly it's less about the armor, and more about the utter spinelessness of the population they're terrorizing. They're bold because Americans have, for a long time, been utterly pathetic. One of these days they're gonna push too far, and shit's really gonna hit the fan. A lot of these chuds are cowards at heart too, and they'll die or rout. Then it'll just be war between a population of terrified cornered animals and a small, well-equipped minority of bloodthirsty monsters.

Nobody wins. But from the rubble, there will be opportunity for significant change. Maybe it'll be positive. Maybe those of us left will be enslaved by feudal warlords. Considering the state of the left in America (essentially nonexistent) I call it a coinflip. shrug-outta-hecks

[–] SevenSkalls@hexbear.net 38 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I'm slightly bolstered by the knowledge the Bolsheviks were small and barely existent and then their membership ballooned all of a sudden from a few key decisions. Hell, they were still basically the minority when they took control during the October Revolution. It's just nobody liked the alternatives, so they just needed people not to get in their way or fight for the other side.

I've been teetering between this comforting knowledge of positive history and black-pilled knowledge of times it's gone terribly (all the fascism, the failed revolutions, etc).

[–] Crikeste@hexbear.net 30 points 1 week ago

When I read that, I thought about the types of people joining ICE, and, maybe even more disturbingly, it came off as a meme.

To think that these people are so flippant, callous and apathetic is terrifying.

[–] DragonBallZinn@hexbear.net 28 points 1 week ago

You’d think there’d be a “are we the baddies, moment?”

But I’ve known this since I was a kid. They would say “Yes we are, and that’s what makes us awesome!”

[–] Awoo@hexbear.net 17 points 1 week ago (1 children)

There are very few things that could get me to go into a flash of pure rage but being present for this might have done it.

[–] ShimmeringKoi@hexbear.net 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The stick snapping from Weapons

[–] Awoo@hexbear.net 5 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

"Fuck dem kids" to a bunch of children tied to each other with zip ties would've prompted me to ask whether they know what it feels like to have someone rummage through their eye sockets with their thumbs. You can do an awful lot to a person bare handed if you really really really want to and being present for something like this could really cause that snap for me, I do not think I would keep my composure in that situation with the kids involved, that particular officer deserves to pay. Most of the time when people fight they're not trying to do that kind of damage, you can fight in a whole different way entirely if you're actually trying to destroy someone.

[–] redchert@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 1 week ago

Well or use your teeth, most human appanages (of the smaller variant like fingers) are actually quite easy to bite off.

[–] corgiwithalaptop@hexbear.net 95 points 1 week ago

I have no mouth and I must fedpost no-mouth-must-scream

In a just world, each one of these pigs would be removed from society.

[–] tactical_trans_karen@hexbear.net 85 points 1 week ago (2 children)

They rappelled from helicopters onto the building. They think this shit is fun.

[–] Awoo@hexbear.net 19 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

Wtf is the point in that shit when the only fucking entrance and exit is at the ground.

[–] darkcalling@hexbear.net 21 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It's the same point as going skiing on an extreme rated slope. It's about adrenaline, an experience, making yourself the movie badass, using expensive as shit stuff to horrify and intimidate other human beings and getting off on your power over them, your power to make them feel fear. Plus the brass thinks it looks cool and tough and military-like and sends their hog base squealing with joy over this kind of military attack on the sub-humans they hate.

[–] Awoo@hexbear.net 11 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yeah but it's fucking stupid when walking in the front door has more strategic power because you control all the entrances and exits.

The only timeremovedlling onto the roof is necessary is if you can't go in the front door or you reasonably want control of the roof for whatever reason. That has military purposes, it has almost no purpose for cops.

[–] ClimateStalin@hexbear.net 1 points 1 week ago

Can confirm first hand that rappelling is fun... Like I said, they're doing it for fun while that inflict terror.

[–] ShimmeringKoi@hexbear.net 7 points 1 week ago

wait until rappelling begins

shine amazon laser into pilot's eyes until they are forced to wave off

screams, splats

[–] ClimateStalin@hexbear.net 83 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Alright Pritzker, time to put your money where your mouth is and have every one of these fuckers arrested for kidnapping

[–] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 48 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I wrote a joke where I had him say "This will not stand," and then he does nothing. But I checked his Bluesky account, removed that joke, and I started again. It's actually worse. Here's a post from 2 days ago. He doesn't even say "This will not stand." In a 3 minute vid - without saying a word about what he'll do - he lists what ICE has done in Chicago and he says that Noem, Trump, and Homan lie.

It's a 2028 presidential campaign stump speech.

Over the weekend, we received reports of federal agents from ICE and Customs abusing their power.

And now, we're being told the Trump Administration wants to deploy 100 military troops to Illinois.

One thing is clear — none of this is making Illinois safer.

I remember my lib friends told me he said he'd actually use the police to stop ICE, or use his powers in some way, but they seem to have called his bluff and he's not doing anything. It's like the stupid boats that accompanied the flotilla.

[–] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 19 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

On a national stage - he was the loudest voice yelling "authoritarianism". But of course he's also a lib so he'd never do anything. The dems are turning words like "authoritarian" into lib campaign rhetoric and the American public will stop listening just like they do when Chuck Schumer drones on and on about kitchen table issues and— Man, I'm so sleepy! Wait a minute. What I was talking about!

[–] ShimmeringKoi@hexbear.net 81 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

There is literally nothing that could be done to these nazi scum that would make me feel a grain of sympathy or an ounce of regret.

[–] LeninWeave@hexbear.net 81 points 1 week ago (2 children)

They had the black people in one van and the immigrants in another.

Holy shit.

[–] Infamousblt@hexbear.net 51 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Makes me wonder if the Nazis segregated their train cars

[–] redchert@lemmygrad.ml 23 points 1 week ago

They usually kept german political prisoners in a bit better conditions than poles/soviets/other europeans in the camps, but probably not the trains themselves.

[–] whiskers165@hexbear.net 20 points 1 week ago

Dang I never thought about it but you are probably right; I know they racially stratified the camps why wouldn't they do it on the train cars too?

[–] tocopherol@hexbear.net 28 points 1 week ago (1 children)

They probably just send you wherever based on skin tone, one van for South America, one for Africa.

A black Colombian and a black Brazilian arriving in Congo:

/ "¿Dónde estamos?" / "Não faço idéia. Acho que estão falando francês." / "Verdad... Senegal?" / "Sei lá... Mauritânia?" / "Mejor preguntarlos, no? Ellos parecen tan confundidos cuanto nosotros." / "Você sabe francês?" / "No, lo sabes tu?" / "Irmão, eu não sei nem espanhol direito." / "Tampoco yo lo se portugués pero acá estamos..." /

[–] Staines@hexbear.net 55 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Very audacious.

I wish I'd voted for democrat so that this could be done quietly, unreported, and not ruin the vibe of my brunch.

[–] i_ben_fine@midwest.social 31 points 1 week ago

You have to file the right paperwork to violate someone's rights.

[–] Awoo@hexbear.net 53 points 1 week ago

I, John Brown, am now quite certain that the crimes of this guilty land will never be purged away, but with Blood.

[–] segfault11@hexbear.net 35 points 1 week ago

it's giving the beginning of dawn of the dead but there's no zombies, the cops are just that racist
