Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

You’re going to see more ICE agents than you’ve ever seen before.

Wouldn't it be something to see a New Yorker just walk up to an ICE agent and shoot them in the head? It seems to be what they're trying to provoke. We already have 2 characters from Mario Party.

We have Luigi

and

Warehouse Luigi

Wonder who would be next. Warrio?

Literally everything the administration does is rape-coded.

"Oh, you don't want these people in your city harassing your citizens and you've gone through the trouble of making laws with intent to enforce to prevent it from happening? Well then we're just going to do what you don't like even harder then!"

Literally everything is "oh people don't like it well here's more of it then since you don't like it" when it comes to these asshats.

It's way beyond "the cruelty is the point" by now.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 12 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

You know, I never looked at it that way, but it's absolutely true.

These people just think they're entitled to rape everything and everyone. Literally and figuratively.

[–] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yeah, it's just straight up fascism. They don't care how it makes people feel so long as it sets a precedent.

[–] FreshParsnip@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 month ago

And people still go "oh this gonna lose them votes". They don't give a fuck about votes at this point. Democracy is over

[–] BeMoreCareful@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

I had always hoped that my work life would be my most abusive relationship.

[–] ceenote@lemmy.world 74 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Bluffing. They couldn't even handle Minneapolis.

[–] rockSlayer@lemmy.blahaj.zone 42 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Not only couldn't they handle us, our anarchists taught NYC anarchists how we resisted. We walked so they can run.

[–] Sunflier@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Is ICE still gone from Minneapolis? Or, did they pause, wait for the anger to die down, and now they operate with impunity?

[–] rockSlayer@lemmy.blahaj.zone 29 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

They truly did draw down. I don't know the actual number anymore, but it's somewhere around 100 - 200. They're still out here kidnapping people, but the resistance is still ongoing. In fact, the contractor providing fences for the Whipple building is pulling out, so now ICE has no barrier

[–] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 month ago

They should have made the fences with a critical weak point that they leak to resistance groups.

No fence just means the gestapo will look for another contractor.

[–] Drusas@fedia.io 26 points 1 month ago

And they're struggling to find parking in Manhattan after the owner of the garage they had been leasing decided not to renew the contract.

[–] turtlesareneat@piefed.ca 44 points 1 month ago

Why does everyone compare this to rape... it's just having masked men thrust onto you without consent --oh right I see it now

[–] Microtonal_Banana@lemmy.zip 28 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Thats a great way to unify a city of almost 9 million people against a common enemy. Try it.

[–] GraniteM@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Not to mention the vast majority of the rest of America. In movies, if you want to have visual shorthand for "America," you probably use NYC more often than Washington DC, and certainly more often than any other candidates like LA or Chicago. In real life, we treated the 9/11 attacks on New York as an attack on the United States, and just about collectively forgot that there was also a plane that hit the fucking Pentagon.

As far as the popular collective imagination is concerned, New York City is America. Attack that and see what happens.

[–] FreshParsnip@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 month ago

I've always found it weird how nobody talks about the plane hitting the pentagon on 9/11

[–] mikenurre@lemmy.world 25 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The party that not only refuses to seek consent, but aggressively attacks those who refuse consent. AKA Rapists. Release the Trump-Epstein files!

I don't know what you're talking about. His head just spontaneously did that on its own.

[–] Drusas@fedia.io 15 points 1 month ago

Heck of a thing.

It’s a classic scene from The Warriors. He’s saying “Warriorrrrs, come out to plaaaaayyyyaaaayyy…”

[–] LostCarcosan@lemmy.today 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It's a movie about a gang called the Warriors trying to get home, running through other gang controlled territories. This is a scene with the main antagonist taunting the Warriors, asking them to come out to play so his gang can attempt to beat/kill them. It's a pretty good movie called The Warriors

Can you dig it?

[–] BlameTheAntifa@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

I can hear this gif.

[–] frustrated_phagocytosis@fedia.io 14 points 1 month ago (11 children)

There are millions of people in NYC, just flood the streets wherever they show up. They will probably be able to run over a few protestors but if thousands are in the street it will slow down even the most murderous goon.

Trump’s border czar threatens to flood New York with ICE agents BECAUSE OF Resistance

FTFY

[–] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 10 points 1 month ago

Well it ain't gonna be Peach.

[–] Blibly@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The evil within really does on a number on their looks, eh? Just look at these ugly vampires. If you cast them as themselves in a movie people would be like "Idk the ghoulish makeup was a little bit much right!?"

[–] SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (2 children)

You know this is really cruel and dismissive to kind, loving, wonderful people who happen to not measure up to social beauty standards.

There are beautiful evil people as well.

Yes, the MAGA cult is ugly but the only ugly that matters is the ugly inside, and MAGAs are ugly inside.

[–] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 month ago

Honestly given that Maralago face exists, I'm still gonna judge. They have enough wealth to get good work done, they choose to look like 1980s stereotypes of shitty plastic surgery. Especially given the fact that plenty of them looked just fine before they started getting it done.

[–] Blibly@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (2 children)

I don't care save the guilt trip for someone with less resolve. They ugly.

Not to mention they're the ones constantly shitting on people, demanding everyone fits into what they deem attractive or acceptable, and making fun of everyone else's looks and these ugly fucks can't even have the decency to live up to their own standards? Yeah I don't fucking care.

At this point I'm half expecting someone to charter flights and deport captured ICE agents.

[–] Freefall@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Those poor poor ICE agents 🤣

[–] Sunflier@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Do not pity them. They'd get what they deserve.

[–] Freefall@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

That's the joke...zero pity here.

[–] the_riviera_kid@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Just start blasting, they are going to kill you anyway you might as well take some with you.

[–] bradinutah@thelemmy.club 3 points 1 month ago

"How about New York?" "Well, there are certain sections of New York, Major, that I wouldn’t advise you to try to invade."

Gangstalking is real. Ice is an extension of it.
