    Dear DHS,

    These are just cowards with guns. Do better. Become an agency with dignity, honor, and basic human decency.

    With all the respect you deserve,
    An ex-DOD civilian

    Elect people who make it their platform to resist this. Sweep aside any feckless moderate who doesn’t make it a central plank of their platform.

    This should be actionable.

    Seems like it’s not, though. Seems like fascism is just routine now in the US.

    American here. Our mainstream news outlets barely covers these ICE raids. We’re in a full blown dictatorship. Now even Reddit is perma banning anyone who suggests that the 2nd amendment was created for situations like this.

    This type of thing is expected in a fascist country. It’s like saying a fish swims when placed in water.

    Download Signal Private Messenger.

    https://apps.apple.com/us/app/signal-private-messenger/id874139669

    https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.thoughtcrime.securesms

    https://signal.org/android/apk/

    Create local groups.

    Organize there.

    Migrate any sensitive discussion to Signal. If possible, migrate all messaging to encrypted traffic. By using encrypted traffic you safeguard encrypted tactical exchange via obfuscation. A drop in an ocean is less identifiable than a drop in a pond.

    Always turn on disappearing messages. Have a backup mechanism for when they take down Signal, as it is inevitable.

    You’ve been invaded. Act accordingly.

      Ya gotta love the one coward that downvoted this and doesn’t have the balls to show themselves in an explanation why.

      Just like ICE, they’re spineless.

      I prefer Matrix, harder to shut down and decentralized.

      Though signal is still great!

        Matrix has optional encryption and is difficult for non-tech savvy users to setup.

        That puts them at the mercy of tech users, and without mandatory encryption it makes people much more vulnerable.

        That said, I use Matrix myself, mainly to use WhatsApp without using WhatsApp. I also built a translation plugin to use an LLM for translating to any language in a natural tone, with audio voice transcriptions and auto-translations of my voice messages to the target language.

        So I like Matrix but still would recommend Signal.

          Encryption is enabled by default in most sane clients for DMs. Groups are not by default because encryption in huge groups is slow.

          And if you use a public server it’s not that hard to set up.

      Signal is a good start.

      I recommend simplex chat

      It is a tiny bit more complicated to set up and it’s not syched on a centralized server or use any personally tracable identifier.

    The aggression is insane. Not even talking at the car.

    The regular police would have a conversation and at least an argument before raising guns, and it would be a last resort of dragging someone out the car to the ground.

    Well done, Americans to let this Fascist become president and turn your country into an active warzone for anyone not fitting the white meter.

      Ninety one million people couldn’t be bothered to stand in the way of fascism- and close to four million chose to toss away their vote in favor of protesting status-quo- while simultaneously complaining here about all the non-status quo shit trump is doing.

      America is fucked as a result of ignorance, not fascism.

        no, bcs you’re all pussies that talk always the talk but never walk the walk.
        An embarrassing display of weak cowards for the world to enjoy.
        And boy, do I enjoy!
