Showerthoughts
A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:
- Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
- When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
- More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- No politics
- If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
- A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.
They did it during Black Lives Matter. Would cover their faces, remove their badges, and use rental cars to pull people off the street and disappear them. It's happening now with ICE.
To be clear:
ICE agents have home addresses. They have lives away from work. People in their lives, from family members to acquaintances, who have direct knowledge of them being ICE agents.
Start collecting identifying information, that will help apprehend them after this regime falls.
When this regime falls; they won't permit being voted out of office.
These are going to be an easy Nuremberg Trials once we get past this
Are you saying that USA will find itself in Germany again?
We need a wiki where regular people can document and store evidence on the nazis, fascists and enablers currently destroying America. Not just ICE, but everyone. A place where sleuths can unmask and put a name on the worst of them. Where hackers can upload ICE payroll or employee databases. Perhaps even put together an interactive map showing where these people live so their neighbors can be safe.
Once the bastards see their names in print with proof of their crimes out in public perhaps they'll realize how short their future is. Otherwise it'll come in handy for the trials.
Yes, make it digital and public so it can be easily hacked, infiltrated, seized, and deleted.
Brilliant.
Consider hosting it over Tor
Can we do it playing card style like they did with the 9/11 terrorists and pick them off one by one for funsies?
Like these websites that HF made. BTW, it's been a few months since I've seen these, and there is a new button at the bottom that says if you are on their site and want to be removed, click there. It takes you to a form where you can upload evidence that you have resigned or been fired before they will remove you.
Isn't this essentially WikiLeaks?
I don't think it really falls in the same category, but I do think a similar wiki format would work.
Be the change you want to see.
Start documenting.
Something like that would have to be ultimately physically hosted by someone outside the US to prevent it from being shut down so... Anyone got any foreign friends u/Hexonxonx@lemmy.dbzer0 can talk to?
Could host it as a .onion on TOR.
Access is important. People should be able to easily read it without specialized browsers.
That doesn't solve the problem of needing a physical server with the data stored on it existing somewhere.
Right, but it doesn't necessarily need to be physically located outside of the US. There's always risks when dealing with the resources available to state-level actors, but a VPN with a foreign endpoint and Tor over that VPN would mitigate most of the risk.
Personally, I'd rather be safe and assume that it would still only be a matter of time before they found the server and took it down if it was within their jurisdiction. Best to keep it entirely out of reach.
I doubt next democratic admin will do anything about it.
Y'all got too much faith in the regime.
If maybe if AOC gets it, but they will neuter her
We haven't had a real president since JFC.... Just useful regime whores
Jimmy Fucking Carter? John Fitzgerald Christ?
JFK*
But the irony is palpable
John fried chicken. It's a southern term that you yankees wouldn't get, don't ya know. It refers to John, of the johnathan name, who first fried chicken. He did it a long time ago, don't ya know.
Jesus fucking Christ.
I mean... This is also correct IMHO
How is the WiFi in Argentina these days
How so? Masked men grabbed Rumeysa Ozturk off the street, caught on camera and even questioned by passers by. I haven't seen their identites released, and I don't see how it will happen unless the federal government wants it to happen.
The video of Rumeysa being disappeared is so chilling. The passers by asking why they are covering their faces. They say they are police, but they are not wearing uniforms. It's hard to hear in the video for me, but they're just wrangling her like an animal. Taking her bag off of her back while she is terrified and turning in circles. Where is due process for anything? (This question is rhetorical. Sad that constitutional enforcement is a rhetorical point now.)
You're speaking of the now.
I'm speaking about after this regime falls, and it's time to to account for the crimes against humanity.
Then they’ll still need border guards, soldiers, police, judges. The “good German soldier” myth was created because if every Nazi were to be prosecuted, the nation would be paralysed.
Weren't the Nazis meticulous about their records? The new crop know better than to leave a paper trail
They're as skilled and aware as the January 6 insurrectionists.
They'll all be found, and all will be ratted out by the communities that they've harmed.
The problem is exactly that. They were ratted. They got pardoned.
Human traffickers need to be dealt with only one way, and that's in Yomi.
They can just scrub everything before they lose power. Remind me what happened with the phones of the Secret Service when they were investigating Trump?
They are using Signal as we've seen with Leaky Pete. Signal deletes all the info automatically after some time. Since it's an end to end encrypted messaging app nobody can recover those messages. Not even Signal themselves. Who's to say they aren't using in other instances as well.
And finally, Trump can pardon the lot of them and they will never see justice.
They are using Signal
I just had a thought: are the Signal people MAGA? I don't think these paranoid criminals would be using something outside of their control if they weren't certain wouldn't be compromised. I also don't think they're competent enough to self-host and distribute up-to-date app binaries to everyone on the team.
..and if Signal is supporting of MAGA, doesn't that mean they're a risk for anyone critical of them? Even if the app is end-to-end encrypted, anyone just downloading the app from an appstore is one automatic update away from being compromised.
That’s so bold of you to assume they’re making the high school bullies do their own paperwork.
We couldn’t even get them to fill out a single page card for the national crime database.
They will be found through their record of employment.
Most of their agents are too stupid to understand that they'll need to go into hiding when this regime falls.
Take the opportunity now to get their names and faces, so that it's harder for them to slither away later.
At the same time though, now that things like that are already out in the open it's going to be a lot harder. I've already seen videos of people yelling at cops that are harassing and questioning alleged immigrants.
