Martial law incoming.

[–] Cassandra3MadScene@lemm.ee 36 points 2 days ago (1 children)

“…The Imperial need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear. Remember that. And know this, the day will come when all these skirmishes and battles, these moments of defiance will have flooded the banks of the Empire's authority and then there will be one too many. One single thing will break the siege. Remember this. Try.*

So beautifully written. Andor is the best tv of the decade.

Just saw an ICE truck carrying a bunch of jackboots through Echo Park. Don't know where they're ultimately heading to though.

[–] burgerpocalyse@lemmy.world 61 points 2 days ago

hopefully they're headed to the Santa Monica pier, where they accidentally drive off the end and into the ocean

Fucking newspapers these days, this shit is important.

OK, so the same shit about "trump is going to". last I heard newsom was in charge of CA NG. Trump isn't allowed to bring them up without a declaration of emergency or whatever.

Just bullshit that they will walk back in the morning.

e: LA times and AP seem to think this is actually happening. This is the boiling point; are you going to sit in the pot or jump out?

If this turns into an American Tiananmen Square, you're going to end up knocking a star off that flag.

On July 4, 2025, where nothing happened in Lafayette Square, Washington D.C.

It depends on whether we're allowed to talk about it in 5 years.

[–] kent_eh@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

The rest of the world is watching and we will be talking about it even if the "land of the free" isn't allowed to.

Buy guns, learn how to use them

[–] SabinStargem@lemmy.today 44 points 2 days ago

On it. Now I just need friends. If you see a guy in green, that might be me.

I figure we need a suitable color to separate ourselves from the politics of yore.

Are the Europeans proud of our protests yet?

[–] LordWiggle@lemmy.world 39 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Well, Americans always defend their guns because they could use them to rise up against their government. So honestly, although normally considered impressive, you Americans raised our expectations even higher.

[–] Katana314@lemmy.world 27 points 2 days ago (2 children)

We have guns, but the government has even more.

There's not so much gained from escalation. Cameras are still the best weapon, considering how many allegedly sentient organisms still have support for Trump's actions. Media has claimed that "they're only arresting violent illegals", and "they're only using soldiers to stop violent riots". Regretfully, millions of people still believe that. The more evidence we can generate that both are untrue, the more that we can turn the tide.

[–] MangioneDontMiss@lemmy.ca 19 points 2 days ago

escalation is actually an amazing deterrent. protests from the early US prove there is actually a lot to be gained. they can be incredibly effective.
