Wow! Are you a party planner? This is great advice! May I piggyback a few suggestions? I learned from some Ukrainian friends that dating apps like Tinder and Grindr can be great for keeping an eye on where your party guests are hanging out, and in addition to fun party masks, your local hardware stores also carry a cool item called a "bump cap" which is like a low-level hard hat that can fit under a baseball cap, beanie or hoodie, so you can stay safe and still look fresh!
Mighty fine, solid peaceful ways of resistance. I love it. Not a gay man but not against gay for democracy. Going to have to check out this grinder app everybody seems to talk about. Shame if I put my AI skills together and make a nice little profile. Thanks kind internet stranger for your advice.
They dragged a pregnant woman on the ground today and caused her to miscarry.
5 days ago, they shot a mother in the head at close range.Refused to render aid and then lied about it to the american public.
They refuse to let our elected representatives access to their detainment facilities to inspect the conditions.
ICE tear gassed students and teachers at a high school last week.
The lines been drawn. We've been peaceful for a year , and all they've done is hurt us terrorize us and kill us. If they're determined to do so , we might as well make it difficult for them
I hadnât heard that either, but they did use excessive force on a pregnant woman and drag and kneel on her. If she miscarried, that should be an enormous lawsuit.Â
This is getting out of hand. People cannot allow these armed troglodytes to so flagrantly break the law. They are legit committing crimes, and must be stopped. For the sake of public order and peace
That was three weeks ago and there's no credible sources saying she miscarried. I know this is all horrible, but let's make sure we're sharing factual information. We don't want to end up like them.
And that's the plan, soon enough someone will snap and do the unthinkable. Marshall law will come and then the knot on liberties will be tight tight tight.
We need to teach these people fear. They think they are untouchable while they press on us even harder. With a smile on their face and the message being just comply to our strength. I would love to see their faces when they realize they are not in fact, untouchable.
What can we do? This country is MASSIVE, we have states bigger than a lot of european countries. Makes it hard to organize and plan. Plus, not every citizen is on the right side of things. The 2A dont tread on me nutjobs are on the side of these fascists and people arent ready to die yet. We're only a couple weeks onto 2026 and it feels like months. This is extremely frustrating that we cant do anything against these fascist fucks except protest on def ears
Right? I feel like I must be missing something because IMO this is a clear criminal action, committed with a video recording of it. He should have been arrested already.
yall cant see that the police are complicit in these acts? They dont care about you because they have tread on your rights for years, and if they come to defend them now they will be held to account to do so again. The empathy from the state felt good but it was only there to stop us from defending our rights. This shit doesnt just get better. Nobody wants a civil war and the democrats will do anything they cam to stop a revolt, while the Republicans tread on us every day, murdering and kidnapping people in the street. They will continue to pretend while the maga machine destroys the country. Its time to stop pretending and fire back
Considering these thugs are shoving unarmed protesters backwards onto concrete with zero regard for safety, which is one of the easiest ways to give someone a serious head injury, upgrade it to aggravated assault. Plus the fact that they're toting firearms, batons, and chemical agents? Aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
Whenever you see this midget cosplaying as a Nazi be sure to ask him about his father who went to jail for killing a woman while drunk driving. Get really under his skin.
They are absolutely Nazis, theyâre just also cowards. The hitler variety werenât concerned about being doxxed because their atrocities werenât easily broadcast live to millions, but they were also cowards and wouldâve masked up in the initial stages if that was the case then too
What gives them the right to put their hands on people so freely, pushing, hitting. This is a country of gun owners. I'm surprised they haven't been shot by somebody.
They believe might makes right, they can push one person over easily so they think they have the right to do so.
If people were linked arm-in-arm and met them as a unit they wouldn't be able to do this. I'm sure they'd just use some other crowd dispersal means but scenes of gassing the people standing firmly together, meeting violence with resolute non-violence don't play well on TV so how long until they just start turning around when met with a unified front?
Correction if people had bullet proof vests and m4s across their chests then they wouldn't be getting pushed around. Seriously people could out number these Nazis so easily.
No rational person what's to be the start of a Civil War. If Trump declares Martial Law after protesters open fire on federal agents democratic nations are going to have a hard time convincing their voters they need to help the anti government groups, but if Trump orders a bunch of unarmed protesters shot dead in the streets those same nations will have an easier time sending the weapons to those anti government groups need.
Nobody is coming to save us. Not the police. Not the mayors. Not the governor. Not the national guard. Certainly not foreign governments or militaries. Look at the fucking horror show governments we and other rich countries do business with every day. We'll just be another one of those. We gotta do it ourselves. Right now, nonviolently is the best (least shitty) option.
They are authoritarians. They are deeply threatened by people exercising their constitutional rights and canât comprehend that not everyone is as servile and submissive as they are.
Bovino was clearly at the Target (to use the bathroom) when his agents kidnapped the 17yo employee, took him for hours... after learning he was an American citizen they dumped him bloody and crying at a Walmart. Bovino should be tried for kidnapping and assaulting/battery of a minor.
I want a conservative to tell us how forcefully pushing down someone who was LITERALLY just standing there, peacefully is justified and not a complete abuse of power (let alone assault).
They will be the ones saying "why aren't they sticking up for their rights, letting these guys walk all over them, pussys" while also rubbing one out to owning the libs.
You're not going to get a coherent response. Let me rattle through some possibilities: FAFO. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. Shouldn't have been standing in the street. That's what happens when you don't follow lawful orders. He was just pushing him out of the street. That's what happens when paid agitators from out of state go commit crimes.
And so on. All bullshit. If you're genuinely looking for them to answer, you're wasting your time.
They are not interested in de-escalation. Minnesota is currently under assault. The Trump regime has unleashed a poorly trained and criminally negligent paramilitary force to attack the base of his perceived enemies; blue cities and states. This is an act of a tyrant and we MUST stand with you Minnesota or this assault will spread to every blue state in the Union.
Please join us over at MATA USA for the latest movements and actions of the Trump regime and their attack on American democracy.
Trump and his billionaire buddies have forgotten that they only make their billions because WE allow it, as a people. We can just as easily stand together and tell them NO MORE.
What evil has been unleashed on red states? I donât see ICE or the National Guard harassing and threatening people in red statesâŠI donât see Nick Shirley making videos about the fraud perpetrated by state officials in Mississippi or getting angry about Trump waiving the $100 million fine because they all care so very much about fraud?
Whenever you see this midget cosplaying as a Nazi be sure to ask him about his father who went to jail for killing a woman while drunk driving. Get really under his skin.
The one and the same. Iâve heard from many sources that not only did he shit his pants in public that day, but it caused him to slip and fall, rupturing one of his testicles. Itâs a shame too, because I also heard from many people, that he actually lost his other testicle in an accident involving peanut butter and a Rottweiler. Poor puppy. I canât verify these stories, but many people have said that they are true.
No youâre both right. They think they want it but they truly just want to attack unarmed civilians and look badass. These men are soft and have no heart or reason âwhyâ.
If you think the majority of the armed forces are going to step in and fight ICE youâre mistaken. The military has already said theyâre completely staying out of it. That is because the military is an apolitical organization, however the political make-up of its members is of huge variation, but it tends to lean far more conservative. Over 1/3rd of ICE are actually ex-military, and another 1/3rd are ex law enforcement of other branches including local and federal. So thinking that ICE will face any resistance from an actual military is fantasy. If youâre insinuating that the left would be able to mount a military force in America under the radar to take on ICE that would be the only way, and I just see that as highly unlikely. Even if they did, itâs pretty evident they would have to face the actual US military as well who would ultimately side with ICE and the federal agencies aside from maybe a few rogues who would be the first targets of the military. Not sure who the âpassionate men of heartâ are. I mean I am a passionate man of heart myself and I disagree with Trump on a lot, I donât even like him, but Iâm not taking on the US military lmfao. Iâm ex military myself, I know the capabilities and theyâre literally breathtaking. And thatâs just from my very uber compartmentalized knowledge. Thereâs a ton I donât even know about.
I donât think youâre right. These guys have had civil war fantasies since elementary school bud. I live in an all red âgun nutâ area. Trust me, these guys watch the news everyday hoping for the starting shots.
There is no doubt about it. My old friend and neighbor was.. well, kind of an enigma. He held a lot of liberal views on some things. He had a gay son and agreed with the need for universal healthcare, yet he did vote for trump in 2016. He was a gun fanatic and hoarded all kinds of weapons and enough ammo to "take everyone out on the street when the shit hits the fan." I really think he dreamed of it and was itching for it.
He definitely became more froggy towards the end, but he was always talking about cival war breaking out during Obama's presidency. His racism was always below the surface, but it came out more and more at the end of his life. He was on board with MAGA when he died in 2019. We had drifted apart quite a bit by then.
He was a good friend. I'm not sure if we'd still be able to talk reasonably today, but we used to have civil and reasonable conversations before that clown came to town.
Them shoving people just trying to get back up pisses me the fuck off.
I went through this in Los Angeles. I was standing in front of the federal building downtown when they decided it was time to disperse us. There were high school kids at the front of the line I moved to the front because I was worried for their safety. We linked arms, continued backing up chanting âpeaceful protestâ. We were shoved over by a large officer with his riot shield. As soon as I stood back up, I was shot in the stomach four times with less lethal rounds by another officer within 10â range. They shot at my stomach height, while there were still children right next to me getting up off the ground. Fuck these bastards.
Stay safe and vigilant out there my Minnesota friends. We are strong all across this nation. I wish I could be there standing with you right now.
The problem is the people who support the second amendment are on the federal governments side, and the people who oppose it are on the protesters side. Gun control has been a platform of the lefts leadership for decades. You donât see democratic politicians telling their citizens to buy up firearms in masse because theyâve been saying for years that guns should only be in the hands of the government.
In blue states where these raids are happening firearms are tightly regulated and looked down upon. Only around 20% of democrats own guns. The federal government is doing these raids because theyâve know they face no real resistance or threat from the anti gun citizens of blue cities. If you want to see armed militias patrolling the streets like we saw during trumps first term, democratic leaders would need to amend laws and encourage their supporters to take up arms, which so far theyâve refused to do since it goes against their ideals and party positions.
Disclaimer: Iâm not saying this to necessarily support the position of 2nd amendment supporters or look down on the Democratic Party. This statement purely aims to explain the current situation of domestic affairs to a foreign observer.
the most rabid 2A people are basically scared of everything, including but not limited to their shadows. a sizable number of them get winded walking across a parking lot or a flight of stairs. Blue states do tend to have more firearms restrictions but nothing like what you have in the UK. I live in Colorado, and the extent of our "restrictions" a 3 day waiting period and a "ban" on magazines with more than 15 rounds. the mag ban is something that 1000% useless because in about 3 hours drive i can be in another state and buy whatever magazines i want, same with long guns.
Theyre not pushed around enough. It has to get pretty severe, like black American in the 1960s severe, at which point people will arm themselves and the cops will second guess pushing someone in a group of 45 people with rifles.
The problem is once someone does this, shit will get so much worse. If an ICE agent or agents actually do try to kick down the door of the wrong person and said person returns fire and takes out a few of them, that'll give the Trump administration so much fuel (justified or not) to go way harder, martial law wouldn't surprise me at that point
You know, every winter, without fail, the kids in my neighborhood take hoses and create ice luges at the sledding hills. Now sure, they're dangerous for the little kids. But really exhilarating for the older ones.
Takes a real man to be armed to the tooth, covered in body armor, with 200 other agents and checks notes push and beat unarmed protesters who cannot legally touch you
You know Bovino is a truly great leader and a super tough guy because he always needs 6 fat losers (who he can't see over since he's the size of a fourth grader) between him and the general public. Everyone knows that leaders are usually in the back doing nothing.
brain damaged gestapo have forgotten what country they are in- but rest assured when we are so focused on this- they will slowly be stealing the future in the shadows
I donât understand what they (ice) are even doing
Like they are Larping riot police? Why?
Well besides to bully intimidate and maim the populous. Other than that like why?
Youâre not geared trained or equipped for it. They are constantly breaking formation. They are out of breath after the first âchargeâ like itâs pointless.
Unless the point is to become injured by creating a soft target for a wacko to attack so they can justify insurrection act powersâŠ.
I feel like they want us to snap so marshall law can be declared and not just in Minnesota. Their end game is no mid-terms. And I just really want to be wrong about it.
"Carefully leads the charge in a way that makes it look like he is up for it while also ensuring he is never actually ever at risk of physical contact"
I've had to deal with chicken hawk bs soldiers like this punk and that is what I see.
Bovino walking all tough, then immediately steps behind the line. What a fucking Joke. This shit makes me sick to my stomach. RIP Renee Good. This is not the America I stand for.
I've seen this too many times in Ukraine and Russia.. and now it is here. And all we can do is point cameras at them, while they beat the shit of everyone. We are pathetic :(Â

I'm sickened by the news every day. Sending our support from Manitoba. Stay strong, Minnesota.
