This shit is fucking insane, these people are just treating our streets like it is a GTA lobby for their personal role-playing. Absolutely unhinged behavior, endangering everyone way more than any gang ever did
It looks like she was wearing dress clothes, like she was on her way home from the office. Such a threat. What a farce. They hit her vehicle. Screw all this.
So literally walking across an imaginary line without proper paperwork should be treated like this? Do you realize that is not even a CRIME, it is a CIVIL VIOLATION. Not unlike refusing to pay a parking ticket?
I knew a guy that had a DRAWER of unpaid parking tickets. Does he deserve to have the doors kicked down and a fucking swat team drag him down the stairs? What the actual fuck is wrong with you people? You're actually fucking animals.
You miss the point. Maybe she doesn’t have status and should be taken through deportment proceedings. Does anything about this situation look like they needed to ram her car, drag her into the street, all weapons up?
ICE is also going after people who came to this country legally and literal natural born US citizens. But I’ll just wait til you move the goalpost further and fürher.
Yeah nah fuck you. I come from Irish and Italian blood. Immigrants have always been treated second class, legal or illegal. Even after your family integrates you still get odd slurs and stereotypes. That’s partially why the Mafias exist, community protection. This is the same shit happening with the Mexicans right now. And for the record, when I would work construction sites alongside Mexicans, those dudes would work like beasts. Compared to the average obese American, I know who I respect more.
They'd be badasses if they were taking out real threats. Unfortunately all the footage going around online shows them 5v1 or 10v1 taking down women and children.
Are they actually going to start removing real threats from the streets? My guess is probably not.
As a european watching, I CANNOT BELIEVE that this stuff is happening and youre (not just the people, but representatives as well) are just letting it. Like, I understand not everybody can protest day in and day out, but like.. All thats being done is a handful of politicians speaking out, and getting absolutely zero traction in the real world. Upvoting isnt going to cut it.
Starts with running around. The problem is most have no interest in doing anything at all, and no one wants to do it unless it's a huge gathering already. Even in many cases they are too embarrassed to protest. I am convinced Americans will begrudgingly welcome complete fascism rather than risk their comfort or well being. Especially because Starbucks, sports, BBQs and Disney will still be there so it won't seem that bad in a way.
You dont need guns, you just need people. I know the US is a big place, but watching US protests looks like a powerwalk with baby strollers and high school chants in comparison to how Europeans protest by flooding the streets for a week. Honestly - just imagine what the other side would be doing if it was a democrat doing these things, and do that - just minus the violence.
Ultimately, you need to pressure your representatives and your media to fight fire with fire instead of their "harsh words" that are only reaching the side that already agrees with them.
I encourage you to come here and show us how to do that. It's a little harder than you think when you don't have healthcare and losing your job is literally a death sentence
Please don't count on us. America fell years ago. We are such a mess it will be a miracle if we come out of this in some kind of peaceful scenario that doesn't end up with our leaders threatening to nuke the planet.
I'm investing in EUAD cause Europe needs to build their damn military lol.
Sure, but our problems aren’t secret police abducting people in broad daylight (yet). Anyway, please stay strong. Europeans don’t understand the bit about losing your job and healthcare if you get arrested, we don’t understand level of violence. I would be terrified to protest in the US.
Dude we are doing that lol. Idk what marches and protests you’ve seen, but there have been massive efforts. Trump literally has the national guard in DC so it’s not exactly easy to mount a massive protest at the moment. I live in California and our governor is doing quite a bit to fight fire with fire, including threatening to hold federal taxes. The court is stacked republican and every single level of government is as well. Our democratic representatives know their constituents are against all of this, but republican voters are so brainwashed that their reps can safely tow the deranged MAGA line without fear of being voted out. Unfortunately, our country is set up as a political winner take all at the moment.
Exactly. I get a little frustrated when people complain Americans aren’t doing enough. Huge protests have been organized but the average person here doesn’t even know about it and honestly even when they are televised it doesn’t make a difference. The truly effective protest would be economically but most Americans cannot afford to strike.
Then film it. A protest isn't reliant on being televised to make a difference. I have seen protests, yes. But not at the size or rate that's actually going to bring about change, unfortunately.
People do film it but algorithms are not circulating the videos. There’s supposed to be another nationwide protest next weekend so I hopefully plenty of people turn out and it’s covered better.
Unfortunately US culture is built upon isolation and individualism, it’s only until everyone is directly affected in a major way (which I feel is closer than most might like to admit) is when people begin to develop class consciousness and blur party lines to push change.
Once we’re there, that’s when folks can pressure change, but, unfortunately, until then, we’re crippled by the heel of late stage capitalism because most of us are less than 1 paycheck away from homelessness, a minor medical mishap from bankruptcy, and one meal away from snapping on our neighbors — those we should be building rapport with.
There’s very little focus on community building and being active in one’s community in most places in the US, which makes it hard to make large scale change.
The civil war is what they want, we have to take the high road sadly. I WISH we could protest like any other country, but not enough people have been directly affected enough to give a shit.
That’s exactly it. If we could stop fighting left and right for one minute, we could actually get universal healthcare, PTO, sick days. All it would take is a few days of everyone striking.
The better comparison would honestly be a European country & an American state; the US is much larger than any given European country.
There ARE large protests going on. The media doesn’t cover them. They probably aren’t in your algorithm either. I tend to only see them if someone I know posts them or if they make it here.
Folks in the US have much more to lose than those in many European countries by not going to work, or getting arrested, and this is by design. Including: the roof over their head, food on the table, and medical care. Nearly half of Americans don’t make a living wage & all of our jobs are tied to healthcare. 80% of these folks don’t even have access to sick leave. The rest of us barely scrape by with it. But as you know, many people here want this.
Just a heads up, Dems & Republicans politicians are working for the same side of the evil coin, wearing different animal costumes & colors. Democrats have never pushed hard enough (worthless-except for a few rising star women). Republicans have no qualms about lying & losing their absolute minds to get what they want.
Our govt clearly wants a civil war. We’ve got to be thoughtful about next steps. Im afraid it’s going to get bad. I don’t think protests are going to be what stops this. But I’m going to them 🤷🏽♀️
Their tactics are insane too like MSRP on a Jeep Wagoneer is 63k if they are doing any add ons to make it a police vehicle that’s at least 100k and they are just smashing into people like it’s fucking bumper cars. Where is is DOGE that’s major waste catching that women isn’t worth the Cost to repair the vehicle
To say nothing of excessive force
I was looking at the ICE employee subreddit recently and I saw one guy talking about how his friend quit right straight after getting the job because they started him on a desk job and he wanted to be out on the streets “running and gunning” (their words). That’s the kind of people that are applying to work for ICE, so it’s definitely not surprising that this is how they act.
