I guess we're ignoring the fact that they've kidnapped US citizens because they were brown.

"Don't be a minority" is a rule so deeply ingrained in their ethos they think it's universally understood already.

[–] AeonFelis@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago
  1. Be Caucasian
[–] Bronzebeard@lemmy.zip 2 points 4 days ago

They've kidnapped white people too

[–] ceenote@lemmy.world 81 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Renee Good did none of those things.

[–] ThePantser@sh.itjust.works 39 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Well she did obey them but they gave conflicting instructions and shot her anyways.

[–] Phil_in_here@lemmy.ca 35 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Important to note for clarity, disobeying an officer's instructions is NOT the same as disobeying the law.

And neither are supposed to be punishable by death.

These don't work. "Be white" used to apply for a while but even that doesn't anymore. I think now it is "be white and suck up to fascists"

[–] DeathByBigSad@sh.itjust.works 19 points 4 days ago
  1. Obtain Norweigian Citizenship¹
  2. Live in Norway
  3. Turn on the tv and tune into the American news and have #Popcorn 🍿 ready to enjoy the shitshow

¹Unfortunately I'm not privilaged enough for this :/

[–] PizzaLamp25@lemmy.world 49 points 5 days ago

Step 1, everyone is illegal except for the people that were already here if you wanna get technical.

Step 2, maybe ICE shouldn't attack us, it's self defense from the very beginning

Step 3, oh boy. Maybe ICE and supporters should do a better job at following those laws and not take orders from a guy with 37+ felonies.

Food for thought unless you're to dumb to eat

How to avoid ICE:

  • Dont be a US citizen
  • Dont be pulling out of your driveway
  • Dont leave room and wave them by in traffic
  • Dont be friendly and tell them "I'm not mad at you"
[–] 18107@aussie.zone 11 points 4 days ago

Don't sleep in your own bed in your own home either.

i have a white supremacist translating device, here goes:

  1. be white, or else
  2. stop resisting! 🐽
  3. don't leave your house if you're not white
[–] Hawk@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Rule 1 and 3 don't even apply anymore

[–] 18107@aussie.zone 4 points 4 days ago

Rule 2 doesn't help because they will deliberately give conflicting instructions and shoot anyway.

[–] DarkSideOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 7 points 4 days ago

Sundely they became “please thread on me”

[–] lechekaflan@lemmy.world 7 points 4 days ago

"White Christians accepted only."

[–] SharkAttak@kbin.melroy.org 20 points 5 days ago

"In today's news, another us citizen of non-pale complexion was arrested by ICE, despite being married and working here for 20+ years."

[–] TigerAce@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 4 days ago (1 children)

How to avoid being deported by ICE:

  • Be white and join ICE
[–] 18107@aussie.zone 9 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Not guaranteed to work. What if you're off duty and they don't believe you when you say you work with them?

They already ignore passports, birth certificates, driver's licences and social security cards.

[–] TigerAce@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 3 days ago

Be on crystal meth and work 24/7, problem solved.

[–] count_dongulus@lemmy.world 20 points 5 days ago

"Sounds like my friends and I can show up at your door in fake ICE outfits and make your gargle on our balls. And if you refuse, we'll beat your ass, and you won't do anything about it."

[–] BigMacHole@sopuli.xyz 22 points 5 days ago (3 children)

I have a Don't Tread On Me sticker on my Car and I AGREE! If you DONT want ICE to Murder you just do LITERALLY EVERYTHING THEY SAY without Question EVEN if their Instructions are "ILLEGAL" or "CONFUSING"!

Could you move your mouse?

[–] kali_fornication@lemmy.world 11 points 5 days ago

i couldn't figure out what was going on. first time the cursor got in the screenshot and i couldn't get it out

[–] logicbomb@lemmy.world 17 points 5 days ago

"How to avoid I.C.E." Notice how it doesn't say, "How to safely get through an encounter with I.C.E."

It's always interesting how much people's specific choice of words betrays their true feelings. The only reasonable goal with ICE is to avoid them, because once you encounter them, your safety cannot be guaranteed, no matter the circumstances.

Also, it's quite a laugh for a Trump supporter to suggest that people should "Obey federal and state laws." Trump doesn't even think he should have to follow the Constitution, which is the basis upon which all of those state and federal laws can be enforced.

They're complaining about other people accidentally breaking a building's windows while they're intentionally destroying its foundation.

  1. Carry a flamethrower.
[–] HollowNaught@lemmy.world 5 points 4 days ago (1 children)

This also has the AI text, no?

[–] kali_fornication@lemmy.world 5 points 4 days ago (1 children)

seriously? dude it's just text

[–] HollowNaught@lemmy.world 6 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (3 children)

It's hard to describe, but text in AI generated images tends to have the same font and colour pallet

(The image shared by the oop, not the one you posted to be clear)

[–] Tyber_Zann@feddit.nl 4 points 4 days ago

Yup, it definitely is. Like you said, it’s hard to explain but you can just tell after seeing a couple of them.

[–] bbboi@feddit.uk 3 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

AI explicitly generates images based on what it was trained on. If nobody used this color scheme then AI wouldn't have generated it because it couldn't have been trained on it.

The background color evokes paper, especially older paper. It's a common motif.

ICE Barbie has her army of dogs, and you know what she wants done to dogs

[–] faltryka@lemmy.world 8 points 5 days ago (1 children)
[–] kali_fornication@lemmy.world 7 points 5 days ago (1 children)

i dunno, the screenshot says it's not him. might be doctored

Whoever he is, he writes ok.

[–] buzz86us@lemmy.world 7 points 5 days ago

Don't have melanin

[–] Johanno@feddit.org 4 points 4 days ago

How to avoid?

Not be in the USA.

Well I am just saying that if they are not alive it is easier to avoid them.

Throw over the government, this might help.

[–] jack_of_sandwich@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

Even after ICE detains or even deports (or murders) US citizens and legal residents, they still have the nerve to say this.

[–] kayohtie@pawb.social 7 points 5 days ago

Love how this most basic image of text still looks like it has the fucking piss filter on it.

Guess licking that boot made them too stupid for mspaint even.

[–] lmmarsano@lemmynsfw.com 4 points 5 days ago

Nice screenshot of a mouse pointer.

Post needs accessibility: post's URL field can be filled in.Images of text break much that text alternatives do not. Losses due to image of text lacking alternative such as link:

  • usability
    • we can't quote the text without pointless bullshit like retyping it or OCR
    • text search is unavailable
    • the system can't
      • reflow text to varied screen sizes
      • vary presentation (size, contrast)
      • vary modality (audio, braille)
  • accessibility
    • lacks semantic structure (tags for titles, heading levels, sections, paragraphs, lists, emphasis, code, links, accessibility features, etc)
    • some users can't read the image due to lack of alt text (markdown image description)
    • users can't adapt the text for dyslexia or vision impairments
    • systems can't read the text to them or send it to braille devices
  • web connectivity
    • we have to do failure-prone bullshit to find the original source
    • we can't explore wider context of the original message
  • authenticity: we don't know the image hasn't been tampered
  • searchability: the "text" isn't indexable by search engine in a meaningful way
  • fault tolerance: no text fallback if
    • image breaks
    • image host is geoblocked due to insane regulations.

Contrary to age & humble appearance, text is an advanced technology that provides all these capabilities absent from images.
