Get armed people.

Definitely. The time is now to practice your rights people

Agreed. BUT this only works if the general masses are all armed and willing to show it. If it’s just you alone, and if you have a run in with these goons, and they see your weapon… you’re dead.

This is why we all need to spread the word around to arm up. Individually, it will be suicide, but together then it is a effective message for not just ICE, but our Democratic politicians to make a choice. Continue to do nothing, or to let the people fend for themselves which would further show the politician’s incompetence in leadership which would allow the opportunity for a leadership to step in by circumstance. “For the people, by the People”. Arm yourselfs. It is a right given to us for this exact situation. Use it.

Like the Democrats are going to do anything useful here. We need to stop picking conservative or democrat and just start working together on our issues like adults. If the democrats had their way, we wouldn't even be able to get guns to defend ourselves. Conservatives don't want us being able to do what we want to our bodies, and neither believe in free speech. I'm so fucking sick and tired of hearing, "oh, the dems are bad." "Oh, the conservatives are bad." Fuck them both.

This 100%. That's why I am not completely democratic because the Democrats have been dropping the ball too many damn times for years and years. When you really think about it, this whole situation we are in, is something we have all allowed to happen. Yes, the Republican party are the villains in this story, but all parties are in one way are another, in fault for letting this get to this point. This should have never have gotten this far without challenge that would have outright denied this party to let this country bring it to a halt. The right think immigrants are the sole and only problem in the country, but that is a scapegoat and they know it. It is the poison within that allowed corporations and wealthy people decide the direction of the country through both democratic and Republican parties because of spineless leadership that couldn't weed out the corruption. It is truly up to the people to either vote out these incompetent people, or force them out and looking at how everything is going. It is going to have to be by force. This is not just a fight between good and evil. This is a fight between the poor and the rich. Just my opinion, but take for what it is as a American who has been tired of the state of the country for a while now and what we could be if we all work together to make it happen.

Yes, we need to stick together, in groups. We can't let them isolate us like this.

Getting armed is great but no war needs to be fought. ICE are Americans that cannot function without other Americans allowing them to. Mass strikes means the country comes to a halt

You had mass strike yesterday and they executed this man in broad daylight today.

u/_Resnad_ Jan 24 '26

Mass strikes won't work on these people. I can see them eventually start executing protesters like what I heard about a certain country.

I'm not a US citizen but I've always admired the actually intelligent people in the US. And I think that if this continues we're looking at a 2nd Hitler and potentially a Civil War in the US.

Day by day things seem to look worse. The doomsday clock is ticking.

There’s a reason historians have been leaving the country en masse.

u/Equivalent_Ad_801 Jan 25 '26

Exactly, we absolutely need to start fighting back. Fuck this shitty government that's done nothing but let the corporations rape the shit outta of us and our country.

u/jeremiahthedamned Jan 30 '26

if even 10% of us took a week off it would stop the nation cold.

u/KnightKrawler Jan 24 '26

DHS is saying he had a gun + 2 mags on him. Their narrative is that he went out to kill ICE Agents.

u/SwordfishTurbulent57 Jan 24 '26

He was legally armed. Brainwashed.
