ICE is already detaining permanent residents. You're next.

Not because I don't believe you I just am curious how bad it is, do you have some sources I can read?

He had his green card. He protested against Israel. He's now in jail, somewhere unknown.

The judge said he couldn't be deported because he's a resident, but he's still in jail.

So we should arm ourselves and not let ourselves be taken? Is that what you're saying?

Yeah, the murder (and partial consumption) of the brothers De Witt was more or less the January 6th of the Dutch golden age. It's part of the reason why The Netherlands is a monarchy now rather than a republic. (Admiral is a pretty good movie about what was going on politically.)

But eat the rich, and all that!

Is that supposed to be an argument against protesting?

Why else would they be trying to scare people from taking action?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Is being scared your only response?

Being disabled from 14 years of taking beatings from Nazis and cops at protests is my excuse. I'd wheel my disabled Graves diseased ass out to a protest again against doctors orders if only they would be organized outside billionaires homes.

Then I agree. There's no safe place to hide from fascists. You have to disrupt and fight them.
