Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

New Yorkers are literally the last people I would try threatening, let alone actually trying to "round up."
They don't have time for that shit
I'm not so sure. They had plenty of time for stop and frisk:
No we fuckin did not.
Nobody was ok with that shit, I called my reps and of course literally observed it used only on black/brown folks in my neighborhood.
Fuck Bloomberg for that disgraceful nonsense.
Fair enough. It still went on for a decade though. At the end of the day, how are you going to say "no" to a cop with an assault rifle?
With 50 of your friends, also with rifles, also having trained and drilled. Preferably with plenty of higher calibers than 556/223.
Other than that.... Good luck getting even the slightest hesitation when they go to bash the stock into your skull and stand on your neck.
For the record, people voted for Adams as well. I'll say new yorkers (the city people, to be clear) are generally down to earth. But we do make mistakes, and I think learn from them collectively pretty well.
For a city that big to work, you have to understand your neighbors. We do have some ultra-wealthy scum in the mix, and people like trump. But many more regular people who are mostly immune to copaganda and such.
What about an assassination attempt? Do mayoral candidates get security detail?
so far they have just bent over backwars assisting ICE
New Yorkers? My ass. Adams is the fuck who let ‘em in.
This is how New Yorkers handle ICE.
as long as NYPD can keep collaborating with ICE. your vid only shows performance art
Go on a general strike, block the city for a week... you are not defeating fascism with instagram reels
Here’s the rest of the video. Pretty effective “performance art,” huh?
good, now do that daily and paralize the city until ICE is gone and NYPD reformed
I’m not getting fifty different videos to please your empty criticism. We look out for one another. Get the point?
ok then, enjoy your life under fascism
No we haven't. The NYPD has, but ACAB is true everywhere, so that's no surprise.
well, tomato tomato.... NYPD is helping ICE and New Yorkers are writting stern complaints = fascism wins
Better than writing pithy comments from the comfort of your armchair.
Please do inform us of all the successful actions you have taken in fighting fascism? Since clearly you're so well versed.
I keep repeating: general strike (not sure why people get offended at the suggestion)
Fortunately I don't have to fight fascism directly since my countrymen were not stupid enough to vote in a moronic dictator wannabe
