GIVE THE NAZIS A REASON TO FEAR
DEFEND YOUR DEMOCRACY!!!
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 civilianIf they get sued they will claim it was a proper pit maneuver 🙄
Very sad that the US has become this. Distressing to see, to say the least.
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.
Americans can not sue federal “agents” according to US legal precedent and current interpretations of Section 1983

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.
that makes me feel really unsafe for myself and every US citizen if that can happen under a mask and a gun. i see proud boy nazis rounding up everyday colored citizens.
are you “there yet” America?
We are definitely something again.
Download Signal Private Messenger.

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.
It could be a technical reason relating to Signal.
I wish I had a better answer than Signal for messaging, but it is the best we have right now. Most people who are security or tech familiar are very disconnected from what ordinary people can use or are willing to learn to use.
We need tech that has sensible defaults, low user complexity, and minimal new user friction. Right now, that’s Signal.
Most tech I make these days doesn’t even require an email. I generate keypairs behind the scenes instead and use QR codes to manage identity. After accessing the service, I then can escalate with unobtrusive notices (Provide your email to recover your account, etc). This auto-account pattern eliminates entry friction.
Of course, you need bot mitigation so a privilege escalation can be used as a user progressively explores more capabilities. The technical of this is a bit involved but the end-user experience is very low friction.
This gets a user invested (they can see content and actually interact with it), which then gives them a reason to progressively use more features.
Just theoretical right now but we’ll see if it works for layman users. If someday people use it over Signal, then I’ll know.
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.
It is for people outside of tech circles. Just having to locate an instance is a massive amount of friction. But you need to locate an instance and a client, and there are a lot of configurable options and things that can go wrong.
Signal is turn-key, easier than Whatsapp friction wise, encryption by default, open source, non-profit, and secure. I don’t like that their messaging platform isn’t more open and that they don’t have mitigation against, say, AWS going offline, but at the moment, they are the only app I have successfully migrated “normal” people to.
I think in the future, fediverse-esque tech will reduce their friction. Instead of managing instances, data is user-sovereign, instances never see non-encrypted user data, users automatically move between them, you don’t sign up you have generated signing keys that are opaque to users unless they want to see them (tech people), etc. Fediverse can actually be LESS friction than current social media people use, but that hasn’t been implemented yet.
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.
Yeah. Would’ve thought they are in an active warzone
Active class warfare zone
the libs didn’t really care when it was only the black ‘class’ did they?
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.
I hope these traitors are found and stuffed into 55gal drums of acid.
I don’t even think these fucks are at all redeemable now.
We could always team up and do it ourselves?
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!
@dbtng@eviltoast.org you previously asserted that the current regime is not fascist. Do you still stand by that statement?
Damn, I love it. You called out 4-5 boot lickers in this thread alone!
My list is longer but I got rate limited and I don’t wanna get banned for spam.
still, impressive. good work.
Where are you even finding conservatives on Lemmy? All I see are center-right who were defending Biden funding ICE until November.
I use the tag feature of Voyager.
I use the
assholetag for such people
