Couldn't agree more! Language is paramount!

They are
Not ice
They are
No warrant
Masked
Proud boys
Criminals
Shoot them

molliekatzen.bsky.social•22 days ago

Thank you for following me me and commenting, but I need to push back on "shoot them." I don't want my timeline used to foment violence of any kind.

marcosmontreal.bsky.social•22 days ago

Trust me, I think exactly like you, but I have experience with nasty dictatorships, and they don’t respect peaceful smart people and speech.

molliekatzen.bsky.social•22 days ago

I understand where you're coming from and am glad you are in this conversation. But we don't need to agree on everything.

sarahkendzior.bsky.social•22 days ago

Agree and also I'm suspicious that I've followed you for years but never see your posts. Today I tried the "discover" tab for the first time and there you were -- along with other posts from people I follow but never see who also post often about the brutality of ICE. Not liking this, BlueSky...

molliekatzen.bsky.social•22 days ago

Ugh, Sarah. I never see yours either. Would love to chalk this up to BlueSky having faulty algorithms, but have lost that kind of innocence.

sarahkendzior.bsky.social•22 days ago

Yup. It's too consistent about who it blocks and what they post. It's a shame too because it's blocking a lot of my favorite people!

oboistaalli.bsky.social•22 days ago

I suggest creating a list of favorite accounts so you wouldn’t miss posts of your faves.

Good idea. Thanks, Alli. 🧡

exactly...states have to step up to protect their residents...this action is illegal in most states...and we all know the fun of breaking only state laws

sweetkeymoon.bsky.social•22 days ago

Exactly.

goodtroublebrigade.bsky.social•21 days ago

It is what’s actually happening on our streets, schools, churches, places of employment, homes, and whatever they pass by! ICE ( incompetent corrupt entity) it’s not just their rights that don’t exist within ICE! It’s all our rights! Just ask the Mayor, judge and the media. It’s a war for democracy

TERRORISM

jolly1766.bsky.social•22 days ago

Right.

Currently, ICE is operating to promote facicsm.

vl2024.bsky.social•22 days ago

Let’s keep good records of these ICE Kash-TAPO people to be charged with crimes against humanity & democracy at the upcoming 21st century version of the 1945/1946 Nuremberg Tribunal Trials not permitting the excuse “we just followed orders “. Proof beyond reasonable doubt is not necessary …

ryanfrieden.bsky.social•22 days ago

No, we need to fight. The time for words is long over. You don’t beat fascists with words. You beat fascists with action.

darinnajem.bsky.social•22 days ago

True, we can't use the term 'deportation' when this has nothing to do with it. If I may, even better language to describe this is 1/ enforced disappearance and 2/ violation of their due process rights. Also 3/ punishment without charge or sentence and 4/ violation of conventions aganst torture.

lakerider.bsky.social•22 days ago

Visa overstays are a CIVIL matter (not criminal). Illegal entry to the US can be addressed with FINES.

scubapopeye.bsky.social•22 days ago

Words do matter. Call it what it is !!

witcheshut.bsky.social•21 days ago

It's also called slavery.

Publish receipts!

coldownsouth.bsky.social•22 days ago

America has become the old Soviet Russia here at home.

On American soil citizens are grabbed by Masked Agents of the Corrupt Regime.

No Right to Freedom any longer, in Trumps Soviet Style Government. RISE UP OR LOSE IT ALL Americans!

stevewmobb.bsky.social•21 days ago

Just watched a video of heavily armed masked people in tactical kit taking someone away.

It's not a police force it's an occupying force.

The War of Terror created a whole new arena of profit-making by creating consultants & companies catering to the torture, kidnapping, & incarceration of Afghans & Iraqis.

The system, having gained a taste for blood, is expanding it to Americans.

Fascism at its heart is always about profit.

And the quest for profit is avaricious and never-ending.

Given enough time & without resistance, it would eat the world.

tonia00.bsky.social•22 days ago

Absolutely, words matter.

wipjenni.bsky.social•22 days ago

Words don't matter as much as actions. Everyone knows what's happening, but nobody is going to stop it; messaging doesn't matter anymore.

raafwolf.bsky.social•22 days ago

It is fascism.

andrewgildersleeve.bsky.social•22 days ago

It is UnAmerican.

arvurebantra.bsky.social•21 days ago

Wild that the right wingers used to claim "Those immigrants are doing human trafficking!" but now they're VERY quiet about what their own government is doing.

skepticicist.bsky.social•22 days ago

Call it “practice drills”.
