I’ve been seeing the same thing, even the local subreddit for my area which is very lib had a well upvoted comment suggesting PSL and organizing with people in an underground manner to counter ICE and Trump in general, on a post basically asking how to stop the nazis. And there were few suggestions to I saw upvoted aside from some talking about midterms.

Naturally!

They are working on manipulating a good amount of legislation through the supreme court and executive orders, but I would guess they would justify the legality of any action during immigration enforcement as necessary for “national security”, preserving “public order”, protecting federal agents or other reasons that essentially make any action legal if argued well enough when challenged. It seems to me though they aren’t necessarily worried about the legality or long-term consequences such as lawsuits that might come at this stage, but appeasing their base and agitating specific resistant areas to justify further crackdowns on activists and immigrants that would be more likely to cause issues in a widespread conflict.

I would think too that wide-sweeping legislative action could trigger push back from a broader range of people across the country. In many areas of the country people aren’t seeing any sort of ICE action or militarized police crackdowns, it’s hard to gauge the severity of the anti-immigration campaign if you aren’t tuned into the sources on the ground. By keeping more of the violence “spontaneous” rather than top-down through legislation, they can claim more plausible deniability, attempting to keep the ‘simmer’ of unrest at a manageable level.

I don’t think it would be too complicated for someone with tech knowledge to do that, I do remember at least one app that was meant for that specifically but I can’t seem to find a good one at the moment. I think there are native apps for most android versions that can auto-sync your storage data to a PC or other device, most of those would be connected to the complicit companies like you mention but some like on Xaomi phones are at least Chinese owned.

A thank you to CARCOSA for the topic recently about increasing accessibility for all our users. I think I have added alt text to the image here, something I haven’t done here previously but should be standard practice for these sorts of posts I believe. I wasn’t sure how to do it, that’s what the bracketed box on images in a post is for, right?

The Guardian: Farm worker dies a day after chaotic immigration raid at California farm

On June 10th, during violent immigration raids at two farm sites in Carpinteria and Camarillo, California, several workers were critically injured and one, Jaime Alanis, has died as a result of injuries sustained. Elizabeth Strater, national vice-president of the United Farm Workers, said Alanis was injured after a 30ft fall from a building during the raid. I haven’t yet seen the specific circumstances that led to his falling or the other injuries.

Community members and family of workers responded to the raid, federal vehicles were pelted with rocks and other objects, no reports of officers injured. Four US citizens were arrested for “assaulting or resisting officers”. Feds have offered a $50,000 reward for information of one person suspected of firing a gun at federal agents. In a statement regarding the incident yesterday, the United Farm Workers have said several US citizens remain unaccounted for.

The mother of an American worker said her son was held at the worksite for 11 hours and told her agents took workers’ cellphones to prevent them from calling family or filming and forced them to erase cellphone video of agents at the site.

The woman said her son told her agents marked the men’s hands with ink to distinguish their immigration status. She spoke to the Associated Press on condition of anonymity because she feared reprisals from the government.

I saw it reported by someone on bluesky that a community member detained without charges was not allowed to be released until they deleted footage of the raid from their phone.

PBS News:

A State Department employee shared with PBS News an image from inside the department. The image includes a piece of paper taped to a mirror with the words, “Colleagues, if you remain: RESIST FASCISM. Remember the oath you vowed to uphold.”

I specifically know it from reading the Geneva conventions, they say military actions using ‘perfidy’ like disguising equipment as civilian are banned.

I could see countries making agreements with the US to hold deportees, then give the US lists of people from their country that they want detained. Like if you are a journalist opposed to a right wing regime, that regime could tell the US your name and they could target you with ICE.

One of the few RPGs of the era that was two player too, I feel like it wasn’t obvious, I didn’t realize at first and it was amazing when me and my siblings discovered that, especially after always taking turns on the classics like Chrono Trigger.

Thanks for your good posting on Denmark, in the US we don’t hear much about them specifically. Most of us on the hex know better but many burger-brained probably think they are ruled by far-left socialists. They hear “social democrat” and think it’s some type of communism.

It would be funny to see this idea spread and evangelic liberals start literally worshipping Mamdani and the virtues of socialism

Another fast-growing Israeli app which has been featured on Oprah, in the New York Times and on CNN is Fooducate, whose founder, Hemi Weingarten, flew bombing missions for the Israeli air force.

It’s odd how many horrors Oprah has at least a small connection to.

I love those sorts of terms in Japanese, like popcorn is ポップコーン (poppukōn) and katsuretsu, shortened to katsu, is from the English word cutlet.

Americans maybe soon to learn the specific differences between concentration, labor, and death camps, most will probably have overlap in function though.

Privately-owned small machine shops do all sorts of work for the military industry in the US, there’s one not far from me that’s a local no name company with one workshop. They manufacture a specific piece of metal that’s used in a type of armored vehicle, or something similar. You can drive right by the place, looks just like any other non-descript industrial building.

At this point I have come to expect any level of depravity imaginable, almost the more unbelievably evil it is seems to me to mean it’s even more likely to be true. Anyone who isn’t a Zionist already knows the mountains of evidence of atrocities, so I don’t see what the purpose of fabricating a story like this would be. Except maybe to inflict even more psychological damage.

Good post, thank you, I was unaware of the history of the term. Propaganda like this is easy to spread in the west when there is so little crossover between the media of the mainstream Anglophone world and predominantly Muslim nations. One major dogwhistle I heard in the US through the ‘War on Terror’ was “radical islamists”, to further cement the connotation.

…a Euro-American political tradition in which governance is supposedly “neutral” while in reality being saturated with Judeo-Christian norms.

Nearly all children in the US recite a pledge including “one nation, under God” each day throughout all years of public school education. Imagine how the American liberal would feel seeing a group of children required to say something like “praise Allah, bless the nation”. They would shit themselves at the thought of the horrifying “authoritarian religious indoctrination”.

Me and a lib manager I had at a retail job were complaining about a US vet customer who was an asshole, he had kept pointing out how he was a veteran, I said “maybe if he fought the Nazis or something I’d care” and my manager said “who do you think inspired the Nazis??” It was then I knew he was a true cool one.
