I liked things better when I didn’t have to worry about masked men in unmarked cars abducting people off the street based on their skin color.

And for those thinking “no that’s not what’s happening at all!” It 100% is

Shoutouts to the the fucking masked videographer. Jesus Christ.

[-] Zachariah@lemmy.world 29 points 3 days ago

If it hasn’t happened already, skin color soon won’t be the only criteria.

[-] evenglow@lemmy.world 18 points 3 days ago

It already happened years ago. This isn't the first time protesters were kidnapped and stuffed in rental vans while Trump is President.

[-] funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works 7 points 3 days ago

it's easier to pick a time when it didn't happen in the USA

Shoutouts to the the fucking masked videographer.

Some commenters in the thread you linked are claiming that the videographer was working for ICE for a promotional video.

[-] TheBlindPew@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 3 days ago

You can see in the video that he climbs out of the same red van as the ICE thugs, so that seems like a solid bet to me

Morning dementrum? Demantrum? We can workshop this.

[-] FreshParsnip@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 days ago

Why do they not drag Trump away in a straightjacket?

[-] spicehoarder@lemmy.zip 7 points 2 days ago

Do none of them understand that their bribe money is pointless if it's printed in a currency nobody will accept in the next 5-10 years?

[-] SeductiveTortoise@piefed.social 21 points 3 days ago

I liked it when everyone thought he was dead. That was a great time.

[-] aeternum 1 points 1 day ago

aww. poor dumpy is having a tanty.

The fall of America is happening in real time. It’s a shame their politicians stand by and let it happen. Trump, Vance, Bondi, Hegseth, Noem, Patel, Kennedy, are all terrible human beings. And don’t get started on Leavitt. Why nothing is done to remove each and every one of them from office is mind boggling from anyone outside of the USA. It will take decades to have any semblance of democracy return for their citizens.

They're already at the stage of demanding the arrest of political opponents. How time flies!

[-] FreshParsnip@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 days ago

"Trump, Vance, Bondi, Hegseth, Noem, Patel, Kennedy"

Ooh, people who should be arrested!

[-] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 19 points 3 days ago

Felon, rapist, probable pedo, and literal traitor calling for others to be jailed.

[-] selkiesidhe@sh.itjust.works 11 points 3 days ago

The gelatinous loser want pritzker jailed because pritzker doesn't like him. That's literally it.

Fuck off fascists!

[-] GEESELICHIC@lemmy.zip 9 points 3 days ago

I love that Pritzker looked straight into the camera & begged the POS to do it. This is what we need from leaders.

[-] Triumph@fedia.io 12 points 3 days ago

They're leaning so hard into the whole "'terroristic' speech" thing, aren't they? Just a naked contradiction, right out in the open, and it's apparently working.

[-] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 7 points 3 days ago

Are the officers also duty-bound to get pepper-sprayed by the ICEstapo while they are kidnapping and disappearing naked children?

Just wondering what policy it is that Taco is pushing the Mayor to enforce...

Epstein files

Failure to protect is the name of the game in law enforcement. Long standing precedent that they are not legally required to protect anyone under any circumstances, despite the motto "protect and serve". Pretty sure that includes armed federal thugs.

[-] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 days ago

Protect and serve (the oligarchy)

[-] mikenurre@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

ok sure /s RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES!

[-] boaratio@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

What the effing fuck?

[-] chunes@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

One way or the other, Illinois governors just can't seem to stay out of prison.

[-] HubertManne@piefed.social 1 points 3 days ago

fuck trump and his lackeys. man the way him and his lackeys talk about one of the best cities in the country and world. I have lived here for over 50 years and its never been as dangerous as when ice was sent here like an invading army. I was less concerned with my safety when I lived near 22nd and california than I do now living near ohare not far from where they killed that guy in franklin park. We don't want you here and finding one idiot person here or there to pretend like the massive majority does not like it just pisses me off.
