Arrests and aggressive tactics by ICE and the Border Patrol, many seen on viral videos, have intensified the frustration and fear among residents.
Congress needs to move to abolish ICE, defund the DHS, impeach Kristi Noem, and push for prosecution of those involved for levying war against the United States
Organize a militia and drive these fuckers out.
The US military is far more competent than any ad hoc citizen militia will be. People are intentionally using nonviolent civil resistance to limit how much ICE can do until Democrats can hold power again
So we’re fucked because Dems have done fuck all when they get in power. Those dumb mother fuckers still think this can be fixed from within the system with no major reforms.
We need to be actively pressuring them to act. Right now, they’re largely in favor of cutting ICE’s budget sharply. That’s something they can do with even one house of Congress if we elect a Democratic majority next year.
A bunch have come out in favor of impeaching Noem.
The kind of prosecutions we need require executive power and willing police and prosecutors
Until they actually take some actions, their thoughts and “in favor ofs” are completely meaningless and all but worthless.
Those are okay starts but neither of those fix the main issues.
Vietnam and Afghanistan disprove whatever point you’re trying to make about the military being able to occupy cities they’re not wanted in. You can’t control a city with tanks and planes, you need boots on the ground. The IRA brought one of the most powerful governments to the negotiating table and they weren’t nearly as armed as the American people. Nonviolence will get you killed if violence isn’t on the table, the old carrot and stick. If you ain’t got a stick and aren’t willing to use it then your carrot is a joke.
It needs to be said loud and often

This! Democrats are just as willing to use the vehicle of fascism when it suits their needs but that’s a conversation a lot of people aren’t willing to have yet.
