I want to do this now.
Please do. This is exemplary allyship.
Should have said because freedom you fascist pig. Ice deserves no respect.
They're scared upon a small sticker,? so childish and immature
All fun and games until they throw her in a cage. I hate to break it to you, when ICE is kidnapping people, they aren't checking your documents first. They're just disappearing you to the back of the van. If they happen to get a few citizens too, well that's just collateral damage.
One can hope it would result in a massive lawsuit, public outrage, and change. My bet is that it doesn't even make headlines, Faux News slanders the woman for being an "immigrant sympathizer" and the Trump administration tries to strip her citizenship for aiding and abetting enemies of the state (you know Jesus who pays his taxes and picks fruit seasonally in Arizona).
I partially agree with you, but I also believe in the undefeatable power of white woman tears.
Congrats, you've pissed off the "not voting for Harris was right because she supported Israel" crowd that seems to ignore that Trump is a literal fan of genocide. Actually I think the person who replied to you and is likely going to have their comment removed by mods soon is the same person who replies to a couple of my old comments occasionally telling me to die essentially.
I'd buy you a beer if I ever see you, if I knew who you are lol
What they hell did they say or do???! Is there not a comment cool down on Lemmy???
I've never seen that many nuked comments the heck. If they're not a bot thru need professional help
Was basically implying that OP voted for genocide (the talking point is that voting for Harris meant voting for genocide) and now others voted to genocide him instead (Trump and his Latino genocide in the US) and that he hopes OP gets thrown in a van because that would be karma
Dude keeps leaving similar comments at me too after I commented that anyone who refrained from voting for Harris because of the genocide is an idiot because Trump supports the same genocide and more. First time I ever came to Lemmy to find over 100 replies in my inbox lol
Like, just copied and pasted the same comment over and over until they got banned?
Usually it's been a single comment. This time there were 100+ posted at once. Think it was done automatically rather than copy-pasted manually. Comment style very much seems like the same person each time though, and they've been banned by the time I get online and see the comments each time lol
Looks like you struck a nerve with the bots lol
Omg wtf you're not kidding, I've never seen that on lemmy. It looks like 20+ comments from the same account removed. I'm curious as to what they said.
I'm pretty sure that any of the psychos signing up to be ICE thigs would LOVE to have a Mexican flag sticker plastered on their car's back bumper. Pretty sure.
Use old flags of European countries and say you are a history buff.
Use flags of fictional countries and say that you are a fantasy buff.
So many opportunities.
Use the flag of 1940s Germany and get a high five.
Cute, and dangerous, to think the fascists wont put you on the bus anyway .
"looks brown to me!" "Must be a Mexican!"
The person: 🙍🏻♀️
That is absolutely disgusting. ICE is committing ethnic cleansing.
What's even more disgusting is the American citizens' lackadaisical response to it.
"Haha look I resist by wasting their time"
While I agree that there should be a way harsher response, wasting the regimes resources and thereby throwing a spanner in the works is a legit way of protest.
Better option: find a swasticar, and stick a flag on the back of it. Waste the time of the pig and the trumpster in a cybertruck
Just be sure to wear a mask. The cameras on Teslas constantly record everything around them even when parked.
a mexican flag with a gun under it that says “come at me ICE”… hopefully they’ll call all their mates and go full war zone roleplay for maximum time wasting
The correct answer to "Why the sticker?" is "Why the fascism?"
I liked her answer because she can continue to waste their time instead of being targeted for harassment.
This is an example of resistance as culture. It might be a small act but it demonstrates the point.
I think that's something that could work. Things like fashion to mess with facial recognition. Movies or tasks to mess with our algorithms. Distracting facsists with a flag. Culturally, capitalism feeds on the creativity of leftists type people and always has done. We can't feed it anti-capitalism because that just feeds it. So, we have to make fucking with the machine the culture itself and offer something they never can: warmth, community and authenticity.
An American friend that lives here in Germany sent our city's flag to her parents. They put it up in their front yard to mess with their racist neighbors. When they got mad they just innocently said "Well, that's just a souvenir from our daughter."
It's the little things that really add up.
add a Mexican flag to your vehicle
cover your face with a wide brimmed hat and mask
wear t-shirts with faces of Mexican people on it to mess with facial recognition
telephone the ice hotline and report illegals hanging out at a local business, give them the address of a police station or (r) senators office
film every interaction you see and upload it to social media
follow ICE vehicles back to their depots, then follow the agents home and make a note of their address
send printed covertly taken photos of their spouses, parents, and children along with a boxcutter to their office
Just little things we can do as a community.
One time, I was smoking a cigarette in my car, outside of my house. A cop pulled up behind me and blasted their lights. They asked me a ton of questions, most of which I refused to answer. I gave them ID which had my FUCKING address, and they still said, "You ain't from around here are you?". Mother fucker, you don't even live in this zipcode. You are at MY address. It was a Pacific beach surfing sticker and a Bernie sticker. They also told me to take them off. They went off in a pout, and the deputy told me they were just training the newbie. To what, profile people?
To profile people? Yep.
Jfc god forbid you have a flag of another country. How dare you like anything about another country aside from America. Fucking fascists.
Funny until they decide you are aiding 'illegals'.
Italian Flags look identical to Mexican Flags from a distance.
Just putting this out there, for anyone who wants to experience Italian Discrimination firsthand.
I'm not white and I often joke about putting an American flag in my front yard to avoid racist attacks
I tell people all the time that if they ever see a "thin blue line" sticker on my car, it's because I have started dealing drugs, or begun some other life of crime.
I am definitely stealing 'white as a hotel towel' to refer to myself and other mayonaise-complexioned people, that's incredible, hahaha!
With all of those masks out there I thought there was a covid variant that only infected right-wing muscle bound goons. We can demand of cops "Give me your name and badge number". We can demand of Trumps cops "BOOM! (blackness for a while) What country is this?".
