Oh hey look. Brownshirts.
Rename the ICE to SA, RSHA (Reichssicherheitshauptamt) or NKVD. Leon will approve too.
This is literally what 2A supporters have been saying they need to prepare for. They have proven many years ago that they are interested entirely in being the brownshirts.
That's not fascist at all.
Aufmachen!
There's this old song by a British band called The Clash. Something something about Brixton. And the Brits don't even have a second amendment.
When they kick at your front door How you gonna come?
With your hands on your head Or on the trigger of your gun
They’re all riding around in militarized machinery with a roof gunner hatch. Full face coverings and taping over doorbell cameras. Goddamned douche larpers trying to pull a Kristallnacht.
Need to create an app like Watch Duty to social track their movements. Local news is doing a good job so far. For now.
Sign me up if this every becomes a thing.
This is awful. Similar to the deportation of Jews in the 1940's in the Third Reich.
Like a Nazi looking for Jews.
In other news the first arrivals are at gitmo concentration camp.

In the future: "Everything they had was repossessed by the jackasses associated to these assholes, but now we have freed them and crowdsourced society into compensating them for the stuff those jackasses enriched themselves with, so it's all fine now."
Ah, the freedom-loving government flexing its muscle by turning neighborhoods into checkpoints. Door-to-door sweeps? That’s not law enforcement; that’s a dystopian scavenger hunt.
Let’s not pretend this is about “safety.” It’s about fear—fear as policy, fear as spectacle. When agents knock on every door “just in case,” they’re not enforcing laws; they’re shredding trust. Schools full of anxious kids? Families sleeping with one eye open? That’s the real legacy here.
And Tom Homan’s “on the table” rhetoric? Sounds more like a threat than governance. If this is the new normal, then democracy’s just a word we slap on the side of the bus while it careens off a cliff.
By instilling fear, fascist regimes aim to create a compliant population that willingly surrenders individual freedoms and critical thinking in exchange for a false sense of security and belonging.....https://prizedwriting.ucdavis.edu/fascism-and-denigration-individual
Fuck the NRA. They're totally against all gun regulation unless it's checks notes regulating minorities having guns.
I feel like they are pushing everyone to the breaking point. How long until they knock on the wrong door and get shot?
Homan didn't just threaten individuals and communities, he threatened city and state officials who would dare get in his way. Almost like he knows what he's doing will draw a lot of ire.
He's taking small town good ol' boy sheriff attitude to the federal level, that's why conservatives love him.
The good ol' boy sheriff attitude isn’t just a personality quirk—it’s a power fetish wrapped in folksy branding. Conservatives don’t love him for his “toughness”; they love him because he’s a blunt instrument for their authoritarian fantasies.
Threatening officials isn’t law enforcement; it’s political theater designed to intimidate and dominate. The ire he’s drawing? That’s the sound of people waking up to the fact that this isn’t governance—it’s performative cruelty masquerading as leadership.
I'm....speechless and all out of snark on this one. This is fucking horrifying.
Single-issue voters who threw their vote away or sat out and did not help stop this, well, hope you're happy with your choices.
I hope you get used to this feeling. Cuz it's going to keep happening. It's so fucking clear that the Democrats are not learning a single thing from this utter defeat they suffered. And the many defeats they've suffered the last decade and a half.
Democrats voted. It's independent leftists that didn't vote. And encouraged others to not vote or vote third party. Hope you're happy with yourselves. This is what we get because you ragged on Democrats the entire election season. Gtfoh.
Most of the leftists I see on Lemmy and know personally begrudgingly voted for Kamala. The people on here saying genocide Joe constantly were plants.
The fact is, at least 2 million democrats who voted in the previous election did not vote this time. Leftists are an incredibly small portion of the population unfortunately.
Seriously fucked up. Sane people saw this coming and tried to stop it. Now there's straight up Nazi shit happening in America.
hope you're happy
Or better, hope your losing sleep and sick to your stomachs and ready to take action in every available protest, election, boycott, donation, etc.
One can dream.
Unfortunately, they are still in "deny genocide is happening" mode.
Although a handful of them have taken a "America deserves genocide" tack instead.

How can we make this expensive for them?
Recreate that party scene from home alone 1, but with Mexican music.
Doesn't hurt to know your legal rights, but we're also in "put people in a concentration camp" territory now, so they will likely be ignored.
The thing is you have to force them to do it illegally, brutally, while people can see it. If you give in, if you agree to things, it's too easy for them.
Yes, many people who stand up to them will die. It's already been allowed to get to that point. Yet if you sit back and give in, it happens so much more quickly, and much more brutally.
This is especially true if you're white, or at least not openly a minority. If you're a middle aged white male, make them go through you. It's dangerous, you might not make it, so make sure you're ready. White men standing up to them, constantly, is cognitive dissonance to them. They'll expect you to always be on your side, and when everyone isn't, they stumble.
If people constantly resist them at every angle they will fail. We will lose good people doing it, and we have to.

Yet another disgraceful and dark stain in American history books with the fascist pig Homan working hard to ruin peoples’ lives for no reason other than petty cruelty.

Hmmmm those are paper thin plate carriers. Makes you think.
Are you telling me these tacticool cops aren’t actually operators?
I mean those bump helmets are definitely representative of ICE at large, useless security theater to give fragile white egos an unearned sense of safety.
