yea, i'm pretty sure that whole "vote them out" ship sailed a long time ago. not only have fascists infiltrated and wrecked pretty much every board of elections that had any hint of purple, but way too many millions of people are cheering and celebrating their new fascist authoritarian police state

The only way out of this for the US is if they all get the Luigi special or at least enough of them so the others shit themselves when they go outsides

Sure Taco tuesday want a civil war but the choixe here is waiting for it to happen to you or to start it and maybe taking them by surprise a little because it's going to happen no matter what

resistance doesn't have to mean direct confrontation. sugar in gas tanks, slashed tires, acts of vandalism--pretty much anything that disrupts or slows them down counts.

illegal? maybe. but no more so than what they're doing to us.

edit: BTW, fascists will instantly label any of these minor acts of defiance as "terrorism"-- don't ever let them plant that seed of propaganda. "terrorism" is acts against the people. "resistance" is acts against tyranny.

Absolutely. ICE should not feel safe getting out of their vans. Especially in Blue cities.

In Seattle one thing we've been doing is trashing the exit of the ice facility with those green scooters. Blocks their vehicles. Every little bit helps.
