Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Used to live around this area. It’s the safest area in Chicago before these fascist thugs invaded.

Stay safe everyone.

why dont you start by taking their masks and getting them on video? you cant like shoot them, that s what they want to use as an excuse, why dont you go and take their masks and get them on video?

This is why Canadians do not visit the US anymore. ICE is too unpredictable.

I don’t blame you.

[–] pineapplelover@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Can someone get the video of this?

And that being on reddit, also going to go away

The gov needs to call up the Illinois National Guard to protect people from ICE thugs.

[–] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 2 points 20 hours ago

Or at least Chicago PD? Will no one do anything?

[–] FreshParsnip@lemmy.ca 199 points 1 day ago (8 children)

Is it time yet to admit that the Untied States is in the midst of civil war?

[–] GladiusB@lemmy.world 5 points 21 hours ago

They are asking for it. They are scared little boys that want to play war. They can't come up with anything better to do with their time.

[–] Master@sh.itjust.works 213 points 1 day ago (1 children)

There needs tolbe a second side for war. This is just our government persecuting innocents. No war here.

[–] unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.de 87 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (6 children)

Has anyone just shot an ICE agent in the fucking head yet? Once that kinda thing starts happening frequently, we can talk about calling it a civil war.

[–] DrFistington@lemmy.world 43 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I mean, ice has shot people, repeatedly, sometimes in the head

[–] unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.de 60 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yeah but its not a war until someone shoots back...

[–] atomicbocks@sh.itjust.works 32 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Honestly they seem to be carefully avoiding the places most likely to shoot back.

[–] SARGE@startrek.website 20 points 1 day ago

Weird how "law enforcement" always seems to avoid the places where they might get something more than a papercut.

Almost like they're cowards...

If that starts, Trump will attempt a serious and possibly effective takeover of the government. There's a reason there isn't violence being used to respond to his bullshit.

[–] mrgoosmoos@lemmy.ca 19 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I'm still baffled that this hasn't happened. fucking 2A freaks just sitting back and watching. fucking do something about it for fuck's sake, you literally have people invading your communities and taking people and you just sit back and watch, it's disgusting

[–] Gerudo@lemmy.zip 28 points 1 day ago (6 children)

2A freaks are the ones who WANT this to happen, as long as it's not "their" people.

[–] Tinidril@midwest.social 18 points 1 day ago

2A freaks, Jan 6ers and white nationalist militia members are the ones Trump recruited to wear the masks.

Drump will then attempt to deploy the military nationwide, he's waiting for that. If there isn't a military coup at that point, it ain't happening.

[–] SalaciousBCrumb@lemy.lol 43 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Trump does not need an excuse, he has lied and made up everything else to date without consequence.

Nah we need to keep generating court orders that no one will listen to.

[–] Viiksisiippa@lemmy.ml 25 points 1 day ago

The U.S. is in the process of second revolution, and it will remain bloodless (mostly) if “the left” allows it.

Just as the president of Heritage Foundation Kevin Roberts told us and the U.S. over a year ago, well before the elections.

Ya. This is a civil war in non-name. Wild to be alive for this. Yet another once in a life event.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 4 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

It's going to be an end of a lifetime event for many people. It's important to choose who those people will be, them or us.

[–] PissingIntoTheWind@lemmy.world 1 points 18 hours ago

I doubt they will do much in California. But for the states nearer to DC. I hope for the best.

[–] StopSpazzing@lemmy.world 23 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Like the 5 or 6th once in a life-time events for millenials. AI bubble will crash and be yet another.

We are at war. It's important to remember the Civil War went cold. The Union tried to reintegrate them with no protections. This was kidnapping. Firearms were justified to defend her.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 7 points 21 hours ago

We've been in a Cold Civil War since Newt Gingrich took over Congress in 1994, with the Contract On, I mean With, America.

[–] Archangel1313@lemmy.ca 61 points 1 day ago

Pam Bondi was just talking about how ANTIFA thugs were beating up journalists. So, how did ANTIFA manage to infiltrate ICE like that? Someone's gor some explaining to do.

The comeuppance for all of this after the mid-terms is going to be frightening to ICE..

If (and this is a big IF) the mid-terms happen, vote.

[–] baldingpudenda@lemmy.world 36 points 1 day ago (3 children)

The ballot boxes got sold to the repubs, trump will win with 80% of the votes

I lived in little village for 5 years and I have never felt was as dangerous as when ice started fucking things up.

The arrest of Brockman comes one day after a judge responded to ICE agents’ recent violence in suburban Broadview by barring all federal officials in the Northern District of Illinois from using riot weapons “on members of the press, protestors, or religious practitioners who are not posing an immediate threat to the safety of a law enforcement officer or others.”

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 16 points 1 day ago

Hey guys I heard on reddit that they get released when these things happen so this is completely fine. Sig Heil and all, er I mean um HOW DARE YOU SAY I'M A NAZI???

[–] BigMacHole@sopuli.xyz 22 points 1 day ago (4 children)

An Unmarked Van? Masked Unidentified Assailants? It's a GOOD THING these people aren't Kidnapping Children! With how much Trump's Administration LOVES Protecting Jeffrey Epstein and His associates that would be REALLY concerning!
