Isn’t it the job of the opposition party at this point to propose legislation that outlaws this practice? To run candidates on a platform of reigning in these abuses? To run ads with scary music saying how the government is infringing on liberties etc?
Rural Republicans already fear three letter federal agencies: BLM, ATF, etc. Play to their fears, this very low hanging fruit, Democrats.
California “No Secret Police Act” introduced, would ban police from covering their faces - CBS San Francisco https://share.google/yBJZoO8cseW6R5mc9
Who’s gonna enforce it? LAPD and LASD are pissed because they can’t join in on the fun and that’s why they’re trying to kill protesters instead.
Land of the free
There’s like no difference between them and these guys.
Yes there is, I can see these guys’ eyes.
ICEis doesn’t look like they would be as agile on the monkey bars. So, checkmate.
That’s not true, those guys are carrying the wrong type of gun!
who are they
If I had to take a guess given the date of the photo and the edge of the flag it would be either ISIL or ISIS.
ISIS
Yeah, what’s happening definitely requires exercising second amendment rights. And yet Americans are still mostly mum. Dumbing down Americans by the oligarchs paid off I guess.
I feel safe in my house, but I didn’t reacquire my concealed carry permit when I moved states, mostly because I almost never carried in all the years I had it.
I really need to get off my ass and complete the requirements in this new state and get that permit.
I need a walking mech suit.
Eh… homie needs to watch Mad Max again —any of them. But I’ll still give him 2 points for trying to be clever.
Yeah, a reference to Steven Seagal movies would have been more poignant.
I feel like he sent them the scarves but the rest of those outfits are just sad… “Can I get a pair of tan pants in a size 45x80 even though I’m 4-foot-nothing? I want to look like an elephant that just ODed on estrogen pills fam!”
Honestly I think they were LARPING as protesters or something but stopped for second donuts and didn’t get first pick from the costume department… or whatever they call their equipment room.
good point but do you understand the premise of the meme?
Dox all these fuckers. Attack and take their masks. Spread photos everywhere you can. Make their lives terrible. They’re not law enforcement they’re gestapo.
Worse.
Gestapo did not wear masks and they had their legal documentation/warrants ready and available. They were not hiding.
I mean… In some ways maybe that is not worse. Perhaps there is some shame associated with working for ICE.
It’s not shame they feel, it’s about self-preservation. They know that if everyone knew who they were they would be reprisals.
If anybody knew who any of these guys were, and worked out where they lived, I wouldn’t give them 24 hours. Eventually they’ll deport the wrong person and someone with a gun will decide that the ends justify the means, and that’ll be that. It will probably spark a massive military escalation on trump’s part, but it won’t matter to them.
True, there ought to be!
If camera phones and the internet were available then they absolutely would have hidden their face, in the beginning at least

All public facing media was controlled by the state in Germany. That’s not possible anymore without killing all the electronics and means of sharing media, aka the internet.
ICE folks should raid banks. Gotta be people hiding in the safe right? And cops won’t stop them to ask questions, so win win!
Perhaps the only valid use for glitter
Should try that die they use when you steal shit. That stuff lasts forever. How does one bulk buy that. Nothing a squirty water bottle, water gun or balloon couldn’t handle either.
Super soaker!
Let’s do it!
Unfortunately a water gun would probably give them reason to shoot you.
I’ve wanted to suggest things like this, only frustration I can think of is, could you risk glittering an innocent bystander and having people accuse them of being ICE later.
The diet version of Brad Pitt making a swastika scar on nazi foreheads so they can’t take it off like their uniforms in inglorious bastards.
Democrats need to thoroughly clear out everyone in ICE as soon as they get the chance.
You’re still pushing that “my government is here for me” bullshit? You haven’t noticed but you’re gonna have to do that yourself boss.
I’m saying this now, so I can point back to it when they inevitably don’t.
Spoiler alert they absolutely will not and democrats are going to keep using this shit too
I don’t have any horse in this race but… how ugly, dirty and bloody can this get in a state where gun owning and carrying is very common?
And I’m not even considering bystanders caught in crossfire.
How ugly can it get if someone decides to shoot on sight a gang like this? And other people join as they start hearing exchanged fire?
They want an excuse to implement martial law.
If this happens then they have all the reason to bypass all due process and just oppress everyone.
They want it to go this way. They wanted the National guard to get involved in California’s “riots”. They are looking for the excuse to throw out the courts, the house, the Senate, the supreme Court… Literally everyone from any say in what happens or any ability to overturn, stop or otherwise impede their ability to control everyone and everything.
The fucking boot licker repubtards are making sure that it happens, and they’ll act like so many others, shocked, when they end up under the boot of the people they voted for.
As an outsider looking in, this reality is extremely obvious to me. Is it somehow not clear to Americans?
It is clear to some of us.
I’m trying to finish my degree and move to the EU.
Where’s the well regulated militia you Americans scream about so loudly when someone suggests not letting a mentally ill child own an assault rifle?
Isn’t this exactly the government tyranny that argument is used to defend against?
They’re too busy gargling republican boot to bother rising up against the tyranny they’ve cried about for decades.
To a unnerving amount of people’s surprise, they only cared about the power of the state when they thought it was being used improperly (having a tolerant democracy), and are more than happy to see it used the way they want (hurting brown people)
It’ll come for them at the finish. These brown shirts should pick up a history book. The people who helped the Nazis rise to power did not live to get to enjoy it.
This is quite a terse way of putting it.
10/10. No notes.
Yes. Nobody wants to be first because they and the next xx% will be the sacrifice.
if it’s not the home of the brave, it won’t be the land of the free
Where’s the well regulated militia you Americans scream about
So, one could argue that the well regulated militia in question is constituted by the National Guard, as they nominally are the armed forces of individual States, and can be nationalized under certain circumstances.
Except for the fact that Trump just nationalized the California National Guard when he’s nominally not supposed to…
The way the legal system in the US works is just incredible. There are things that are very much illegal, but if the president does them apparently everyone is just fine with it.
The majority of citizens are not “fine” with it, we are watching the results of the capture of every branch of government.
The template for this actually played out in Texas. Texas has a very weak governors office in terms of formal powers. Under George W Bush the Republican party systematically took control of each state office and coordinated their efforts to effect the agenda of Bush, Perry, and now Abbott.
They are doing the same thing at the federal level with project 2025 under Trump, they took the supreme court, and now they have removed the career civil servants that would refuse illegal orders from Trump.
If history of other dictatorships is any guide the powers of ICE will be expanded steadily and the other law enforcement agencies and military will be continually overshadowed by ICE and eventually subordinated to them, like the Republican guard of Iran or the SS in Nazi Germany.
One should argue that. Even though the national guard acts as a branch of the military, technically they are whats considered a “organized milita” and are actually under the control of the state government
I think they’re the same people that are locking up random immigrants
removed by mod
Even if you believe in the whole “illegal aliens” silliness, that still wouldn’t preclude people from also being immigrants.
Your family were invaders too boss, I don’t remember inviting anyone over to genocide the native population do you?
The thing that I don’t get about those people is, what do they think the “well regulated” part means?
This has been asked many, many times. Most of them are on Drumpy’s side. The same fucks on Jan6.
Do you actually want an answer? I think you know the details aren’t suitable for a public forum.
Those 2a chuds will never rise up against a tyrannical government.
They’d rather kneel down for a tyrannical government.
Hey dumbass, it turns out that:
-
Each state has its own laws about this. Where I live the same state constitution that ALSO specifically grants us the right to own firearms for self defense explicitly forbids belonging to any private militia.
-
My part (Democrats) is so overwhelmingly anti gun that 99% of aren’t armed to begin with. So precious militia you’re smugly pretending to ask about? Yeah you’re looking at them in the post to begin with. They’re all boot licking fascists.
Nice try though, pretending disarming Americans is the answer to anything other than more deportations, more oppression, and so on.
I’ll give you this: literally neither side gives a shit about the actual underlying problem: mental health. Over half of ALL gun deaths in the USA each year are from suicide. You don’t need an AR15 for that. Banning and removing all guns successfully won’t stop all those people wanting to be dead, but my fellow Democrats don’t care and the fascists sure don’t.
LOL. My point was, when you have come down of your high horse, that the opponents of gun control hide behind the Second Amendment and the need to protect themselves from government overreach, but those are the exact same people who jump up to volunteer to do that exact bit of overreach.
Plus I get to have a little dig at your country’s ridiculous gun laws at the same time.
opponents of gun control hide behind the second amendment
What? That doesn’t even make any sense. Anti-Gun folks continually make laws against the second amendment (Imo, I know this is gonna get a lot of flack here but that’s not the point.
The second amendment protects the rights of civilians owning guns. And folks who are pro-gun tend to overwhelmingly lean right after years of bastardization from the left.
Maybe actually read the second amendment, and the arguments made by both parties before you “take a little dig”
-
A lot of these areas have much more stringent gun laws. Yes, they can own the guns, but they can’t carry them. Carrying/displaying will probably get them arrested and charged with a weapons felony.
I’m usually told we’ve moved beyond the need for people to do that. Then we should just leave the use of force to the police: The organizations that consistently seem to try to prove we can’t trust them. I agree, the police should be an organization Americans can trust: How can we make them that way?
Does anyone see the irony?
- U.S. conservatives “trust” the police, but still want civilians to be armed.
- U.S. “leftists” distrust the police, but want them to be the only ones armed.
The U.S. never fixed their trust issues with police. So this seems like the logical result.
Nazis doing Nazi stuff. There is only one known cure for fascism.
assassination of the president and vice president
They are just puppets. There are bigger fish.
SEND IN THE ARMY! CAUSE WE HAVE CONTROL (hopefully speaker of the house isn’t nazi)
I think it’d be better to get rid of the entire Heritage Foundation. There’s no chance Trump is calling any of the shots anymore
How about arrest and prosecution under a completely reformed legal system?
Nah, line them up along the wall.
Too quick. And someone will need to clean the wall.
Nope. Leave the stains as an example for future fascists to reconsider their position.
…as opposed to a magical jail cell which requires no cleaning?
Which the occupants can clean themselves.
This is very similar to what the nazi and the soviets did. Removing people under pretext of law with no regard to process or people. It doesn’t seem as extreme but the course is definitely clear.
To the troll that keeps regurgitating “illegal aliens” rhetoric. Dressing up with masks and shit doesn’t grant one an authority to pick people of the streets. Any “leader” that enables this just wants chaos and doesn’t give a fuck about the nation. It’s just tyranny under the guise of patriotism. It happened many times before.
Well put, Mr. Satan
His friends call him Hercule.
If someone comes and tries to take you or those around you, defend yourself.
Get a handgun, get a CCW and learn how to defend those you love.
There are more of you than them.
Masked armed men in edgy outfits ? Dodger’s stadium ? They’re Barghest !
Nice Cyberpunk reference. ^^
I wish anyone in this administration cared about faith in the military, because there’s no way this doesn’t create a populace afraid of its own military.
I think that’s the point. Americans need to realize it’s not about us. It’s not for us. It’s their business not ours. We are products in an illusion of freedom made by false individuality created by consumption of the things that are offered by “the machine” used for escapism of existentialism?
We are products in an illusion of freedom made by false individuality created by consumption of the things that are offered by “the machine” used for escapism of existentialism?
Do what now?
What’s their business?
Creating us and selling us while convincing us it’s our free will.
Going to be fun putting all these monsters on trial after Trump is gone.
Going to be fun putting all these monsters on trial
Gonna be fun watching democrats be like “trust the system! the wheels of justice turn slowly!” until it’s too late. Again.
This will be the sad reality at best some show trials with pardons when red regime whores are back in power
Honey, trials don’t convict fascists. That’s a fundamental misunderstanding of law.
Fucking shiro ishi ended uo dean of tokyo medical school. Nobotsuke kishi’s dynasty only ended when some guy killed his grandson with a home made electric shotgun. Most of the italian fascists, aside from Mussolini, who notably did not get a trial, ended uo employed by the cia.
Germany wasn’t much better.
You don’t give nazis trials.
Context, for anyone interested about the Nobusuke Kishi part:
Nsfw atrocities btw.
I feel like the end result will be like Nuremberg. Sure. Some of them got light sentences. But a lot of the leadership hung.
The ones whose names everyone knew, and not even all those. That’s not what trials are for.
People don’t like these historical facts.
They prefer to live in fairy tale where Mossad hunted every Nazi down and killed them. Makes it easierto cope with the reality I guess
Where mossad was founded by a bunch of former SS officers?
I am not aware of that but my understanding is that they collaborate with Nazis and avoided targeting the “good” Nazis
Oh. The protocols larpers had an SS unit.
Haha good one.
He is old, unhealthy, and hopefully mortal.
I think the “hah good one” was more in response to believing the masked thugs will ever be brought to justice, even if the dems ever gain power again.
I have faith my friend.
Stand your ground, Pubs love that shit… Be the good guy with the gun brah
