Whenever you see what #ICE is doing in front of cameras, you must imagine what they're doing where nobody can see them--like in the concentration camps the USA is building. It's easy to read those words and much harder to fathom what they mean; that this is happening in our day and age, in what until recently was believed to be a first world country. "Abolish ICE" doesn't go nearly far enough in my view.

"Have you ever wondered how good was so easily destroyed by evil in the past?
And thought to yourselves how ignorant and unaware those people must have been?
Well, look around.
Because the past is upon you."

«...What until recently was believed to be a first world country». @Gargron, it sounded like a compliment. Considering that the so-called «First World» exploits the «Third World», it must be said that it's a strange compliment. But I agree with your main idea.
@Gargron ICE master Trump's stolen "(un)truth.(anti)social" is allegedly based on your Mastodon source code.
Do the world a favor & revoke your permission for him to use it ever again!
@Gargron ICE is a symptom rather than a cause. The election of Donald Trump, a man clearly unsuited to wielding great power, is yet another symptom. Does the fault lie with capitalism and with our limited version of democracy? Does the power and direction of the media help or hinder? And what of massive corporations?
Massive change is clearly needed, but how to bring this about is the question which needs to be asked.
@Gargron it is pretty clean to me , ice is the gestapo
@Gargron
I was going to say something along the lines of "By the original definition, a first world country is merely a country aligned with NATO", but I'm not sure even that's true for the US anymore...
@Gargron , I think that fentanyl is a bigger problem
@Gargron What I see on this YouTube channel is terrifying. US definitely ceased to be a democracy. https://youtube.com/@meidastouch?si=otsDYfikhnW9kDHm
@Gargron I just posted something about this. Scary shit. Some people living around these camps didn't know the ash falling from the sky was human remains.
-Abolish ICE
-Abolish DHS
-Prosecute every single crime committed by the goons and the politicians
-Repeal every part of the PATRIOT Act
-Replace militarized police forces with integrated public safety department
-Pay reparations
-Let everyone who wants to come back return
-Release our colonies
-Join the ICC
-Restore full funding to the UN
To start.
probably except the performance of cruelty has always been part of the Trump/MAGA brand. they seem to believe that they can intimidate most people into compliance and all the normal constraints will fail. not sure they are wrong at this point.
@Gargron End the tRumpsReich! Boycott everything republican-now-nazi!!!
The fascism has funding. Lots of it.
Democracies continue to underestimate how badly the fossil fuel industry & the rich want to retain control

@Gargron What ICE is doing now is a continuation of what the US has done for decades whether officially and federally, as with prisoners in Iraq and other CIA black sites, or locally and supposedly rogue, as with, for example, the Chicago police torture factories run by Jon Burge and Richard Zuley.
If you scratch the surface you will find a long and rich history of incredible violence against its own citizens the vast majority, of course, being people of colour.
Now, it's out in the open.
It does not indeed, an utter shame that this can happen in a country we that perceived as civilized…
The playbook of fascism as we saw happening in the 1930s… in the country of Bach, Mozart, Beethoven… apparently it does not take much for a pied piper…
@Gargron Arrest ICE and exile them to an island ( like Napoleon), preferably one which will be flooded by increasing sea level. Perhaps they will go "Lord of the Flies."
@Gargron The ICE-Gestapo do these things in front of cameras only because they are masked an they hope no one can unmask them and publish the real namesof them.
@Gargron it's rape n murder. Period. Because that's the goal with these violent lunatics
@Gargron
Why isn't an impeachment case on Stephen Miller in progress? He is 100% responsible for these illegal kidnappings. Congress could stop this madness by withholding ICE funding and launching investigations, but the MAGAt GQP don't care about our laws or Constitution. The problem is that 39% of Amerikkans want this! That's the scary part. Years of GQP propaganda. We are no better than Russia.
"For the 39%, the border is an existential crisis. An invasion."
@Gargron The USA and other countries are on the way to totalitarianism.
@Gargron They're killing people there too https://apnews.com/article/ice-immigration-detention-death-texas-2bfb614b2b222803d309f338357d04eb
Congressman Sean Casten is calling for these ICE thugs to be held criminally accountable once the administration is out of office. In the meantime Americans must continue to resist and ostracize these ICE criminals. I'm boycotting Wyndam Hotels and Hilton for renting rooms to these out of control fascist thugs.
I think the cruelty serves a purpose to promote group cohesion among the admins supporters.
And it also serves a much more important purpose for their goal to disenfranchise Blue cities and states so they can “win” the mid-term elections. They know they will lose decisively if folks in these areas get to vote.
@Gargron
Have you watched The Drey Dossier’s series “Who TF is in my head?”
Re: investigation into Elon’s Neuralink doing testing on ICE prisoners.
She brings receipts & I would not be surprised if she’s right about all of this.
So much depravity everywhere , it’s so common. So pervasive. We are only just starting to see and be aware of it fully.

Abolish ICE and the entire DHS
Jail every thug who works there
Jail FOR LIFE NO PAROLE every senior manager or director
@Gargron Thank you for posting this.
@Gargron
Whatever happened to "never again"?
Abolish? Nah... let them lose their lives (as in lifestyles) - disenfranchise all of them (take everything they have - home, transport, any and all possessions) and make it a crime for anyone to provide them with support beyond the most basic of necessities - a little bit of food to keep their "soul"(?) attached to their body...
@Gargron You're 100% correct, Eugen.
@Gargron truly shocking to see what is happening
@Gargron There are accounts of what is happening in those camps, it is coming out.
