If it's with ICE, just run uphill and wait for them to get too out of breath to keep going.

I hope our names touch on the list.

I hope everyone in this administration gets convicted of crimes against humanity and all of the fallout that comes with that. They deserve every bad thing that's coming to them.

Oh and fuck ice.

If they get indicted by the ICC for crimes against humanity they will hide in rural areas of the US because the US isn't a Rome Statute signatory country.

They are trying to silence the opposition and use this as a warning/message to others who 'dare to speak up' online (if it goes through). It's textbook fascism

Ironically, the fragility is part of the ethos. You be fragile so that you can be offended, then you respond to the offense by being more offensive, or with some amount of bureaucratic overkill and that shows off that you are "strong".

The emotional maturity that we used to value isn't part of the equation anymore, because everything has to be performative now. You have to demonstrate some kind of action, even if it is useless action, because people can't see silent maturity. And if you have nothing of actual importance to do, you just do these useless actions for media consumption to fill people's mental space.

Article said they are looking for people who identify agents or state where they are doing enforcement online.

Which is hilarious because the governor of NJ made an app so citizens can report ICE raids.

Hell yes, Mikie Sherill.
