Gonna have to say that's a misnomer then.
I mean their whole operation is in brazen violation and has been for decades. This breaking into houses is a new extreme but a plain reading should clearly indicate judicial warrants are necessary for all arrests, not just those in the home. No one is talking about this and I feel like I'm taking crazy pills.
Administrative warrants are not warrants. Even calling them that is buying into their propaganda. Anyone have an idea for a better name?
But I want it to be real...
Maybe so but that's not easy to achieve. I think social stigma, public humiliation, etc. is the easiest way to achieve this. Definitely support investigators who are compiling information on them.
My assessment is that isn't going to happen. Vietnam worked because people were largely united against an invading force. America is the opposite.
I don't think Luigi achieved much with what he did. He's now in jail and UnitedHealth just hires someone else to do the same job. It's also different because his act was not perceived as more personal than political. And it's a lot harder for ordinary Americans to empathize with a rich ceo than working class ICE agents. A lot of Americans are waking up to the fact that ICE is the enemy but it's still a minority. The reality is a lot of Americans personally identify with law enforcement and will feel attacked when they are attacked. This creates more reaction, violence and division when we really need people to be united.
Propaganda of the deed tried and failed 100 years ago and I don't think things are too different today.
I understand but I'm only in control of my own actions. I can't make the rest of America do anything they don't want to. So if you want me to do something it needs to be framed in terms of what actions I can take--even if those actions are meant to be part of a collective effort.
Individually attacking ice agents or facilities won't stop this either though.
Like I don't know what I can do to stop it. It's outside of my power individually.
Edit: I feel like this came off as a bit disempowering. There are many important things we can be doing to throw sand in the gears of fascism, and while it may or may not stop it, it will still probably save lives. But I just want to express that going to individual Americans and shaming them because they haven't personally put a stop to this is very unhelpful.
Implying US or Chinese citizens have rights lol
I mean there's like pictures of the sun out there... how old is this person?
Which I acknowledged but then you go and do the same thing by trying to erect some kind of tribal defense. It's all quite silly.
If you left out the last sentence I would have upvoted you and moved along but instead we're arguing...
I personally disagree that PSL is staunchly anti-imperialist. They're paid agents of an imperialist country.

Outcry as Trump plots more roads and logging in US forests: ‘You can almost hear the chainsaws’
(www.theguardian.com)
It’s been a good year. It’s probably past time to pull out some of the summer stuff and plant some fall crops but I always have a hard time pulling out healthy plants. The tomatoes in particular look good but have very little fruit.

Cutting off material support for Israel and putting out real arrest warrants for war criminals are two things I can think of we could do.
As individuals that means agitating and creating pressure on leaders to do these things but individual boycotts can also help.
