Are the bombs working? No. Are we going to keep bombing them? Yes.

– President Biden on Operation Prosperity

I think Trump is attempting to scare Iran into accepting his nuclear deal.

Israel wouldn’t tolerate any deal though. They want no deal and permanent sanctions on Iran. Besides, we are well past talking about any nuclear deal.

Sounds like you don’t need the VPS then. Add a subdomain to your home IP. Port forward 443 and 80 to the sever. Run caddy to route the subdomain to localhost:8096. You will also need to tell jellyfin to accept on the new domain.

I doubt anyone in power is deluded enough to think they can actually reinstate the Shah or something. They probably just want to bomb every piece if infrastructure in Iran and not worry about them for a few decades.

But regime change absolutely is the fantasy they are trying to sell liberals.

People who haven’t had this talk yet need to be aware that they’re late to class and should try to catch up.

PD and feds don’t work on deportation together

Only if the city has explicitly forbidden them from cooperating. Many more have cooperation agreements with them: https://themarkup.org/tools/2025/04/16/law-enforcement-ice-cooperation-tracker

I call a dispatcher and tell them I see an armed abduction, they’re going to send someone.

That’s assuming it isn’t standard procedure for ICE to alert local PD to prevent this very scenario.

The only thing that can prevent ICE from abducting your neighbors is you and the rest of your neighbors working together.

The consent manufacturing machine will rev up like it always does. There’s already attempts to get us on board with a the fantasy of a regime change. As though that won’t lead to another ISIS or Libya.

But I really don’t think the average liberal boomer is going to fall in line behind Trump like they did Bush. And certainly not anyone younger. Dem leadership is probably already on board though.

This would have to be the most unpopular war in US history and yet I think everyone Trump has surrounded himself with is telling him to do it.

This comment will age poorly if he don’t.

I advocated for organizing community defense groups to harass and intimidate ICE agent, instead of individualist adventurism and you call me a centrist? Where you drunk when you wrote this?

5 actually because you can use minimal hardware. You can probably just port forward your router and run caddy on the same jellyfin server but then expose your home IP address.

Obscuring home IP is the big one. You also don’t have to fiddle with opening ports on your router and maybe getting ISP attention for hosting on a residential network. But really obscuring home IP address would work.

Dirt simplest solution is caddy on the same jellyfin server and port forward 443 and 80 on your router to that host. Hopefully letsencrypt will work without a domain but I’m not sure.

If ICE is coming for you, then you’re not seeing court. If you’re some interfering bystander then maybe you will. But then you’re plan to lie to the judge and say you didn’t know? The judge will see through you’re bullshit immediately.

Like that could only work if you actually were ignorant and even then you’d have a long up hill legal battle to establish the precedent that its sometimes OK to shoot law enforcement. IANAL but I think thats a liberty the state has never been conceded.

If you want to be as annoying as possible out of spite or martyrdom I can respect that. But that’s what it’d be.

You know the cops watch the news too and will immediately guess what your up to. At best this is just trolling the cops. At worst you’re calling back up for ICE.

Its not my criteria, its about what will legally hold up in a US court against an AIPAC or ADL libel case. Remember, we’re talking about reasons why news sources don’t mention it. Not what I personally think is adequate proof.

Utterly delusional to think any of that would work. At every step you would just get your face beaten in. When the cops come they too will just beat your face in.

Thinking you can castle doctrine a squad of ICE agents is equally delusional. You could probably take a couple out but you’d still die in the end and be risking the lives of anyone that lives with you.

The only solution is well known and already in practice in places like LA: have an active community response force that will show up and intimidate and harass the ICE agents. All of the previous delusions assume you, alone, can stop an ICE with just your privledge.

Yeah I don’t see why anyone would care bout that treaty if people can ignore it.

Except we magically give all the shits about it when it comes to Iran. All treaties are selectively applied. Welcome to the world of foreign relations.

Sorry for the confusion when I said “no proof”. I meant “no official sources”. Everyone knows Israel has nukes they just have to pretend they aren’t for the legal reasons I stated.

Any state that signs the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty is obligated to sanction any other state that didn’t but has nuclear weapons.

China is an authorized to have nukes in the NPT as NWS. However, neither India nor Pakistan are NPT signatories and get mixed sanctions based on who is doing it. The US has sanctions on Pakistan but overt nuclear deals with India. China has deals with Pakistan. Australia had sanctions on India until recently.

Basically international law is only enforced if politically expedient. It shouldn’t surprise you that Israel certainly wouldn’t actually face any actual sanctions if they declared they had nukes. But they are legitimately afraid of getting the Apartheid South Africa treatment so they don’t give any ground on the issue.
