  1. While the language in this post might be a little bit over the top, ICE agents are interfering with a peaceful protest in a public right-of-way outside what appears to be a detention center or some sort of facility. They are on the street, but even if they are on the sidewalk, that remains LOCAL public property. Question for the legal eagles: Are protestors required to comply with their orders since ICE, specifically, has no legal jurisdiction over US citizens unless they are interfering with operations or something like that?
  2. Why are you still financially supporting that loathsome fucking white supremacist by giving him clicks and driving traffic to his Nazi website?
  3. Eight is not enough. Cruz is a lost cause, but Cornyn?

  5. He can be a bit of a blowhard at times. Welcome back, btw.
  6. Oh, I get that public sentiment could've risen from the 21% favoring the Shah's son in that poll, but I've also read that most of his support actually comes from the Iranian diaspora, so I'm trying to bear in mind that there could be propaganda accounts from that community. Just trying to keep an even keel on this, since so many previous uprisings have eventually been crushed. I certainly hope this is the one that brings down the mullahs, but I keep in mind that poll in which opinions on preferred types of government were split so that none of the choices had a strong plurality. So, sure, they might rally around him as a figurehead for the revolution, but that doesn't necessarily mean that support for his actual leadership as head of state would coalesce. Understand? I know it's nitpicky, but there are so many fucking Xitter accounts posing as independent journos with hidden agendas that I'm eternally skeptical of most of them now. That applies especially to ones like this one that don't show a link to anything.
  7. That do seem sketchy, especially if it's taking the opinion that this is a pro-Shah uprising with no apparent link. I'm sure that there are some calling for the Shah's sun to return, but that's not what this is all about necessarily. Of course, with no ties over there, I don't have any sense of authentic public sentiment aside from that poll I posted a couple of days ago.
  8. This one is kinda hard to watch, not because of any gore but just how sad it is. It sounds like there's a woman saying, "That's my wife!" This is a really good eyewitness account.
  9. I'm no Canecutter, but I do enjoy me some accents. If any of you happen to know any Africans/Carribeans with similar accents, advise them that if they find themselves in this situation as that Uber driver, they should state they are from South Carolina and speak a Gullah accent. Here's an example (video embedded in news article - no paywall): https://www.greenvilleonline.com/videos/news/2019/02/04/gullah-dialect-still-spoken-south-carolina/2653241002/
  10. I've seen a name posted on r/ICE_Raids, which I won't post on here because it appears that post over there has already been taken down. I will say, though, once I googled that name, I saw it was being widely spread on social media. In one of the videos, it begins a bit earlier, where it kinda looked like she was parallel parked at first, and then started to pull out. But she did stop and yield to the first ICE car. Now, I don't know whether her intention was to block the convoy by being perpendicular to the flow of traffic or if she was trying to merge, and the sudden yielding put her in an awkward spot that she was then stuck in. But she did yield. One of the first eyewitnesses seemed to suggest she was pulling a U-ee (funny, I've never seen that word spelled before), but that would've pointed her down the wrong way of a one-way street. I don't know why she would do that.
  11. You guys should put thisnew Orange-4-Life guy on ignore, as I'm pretty sure this poster is PRONG HORN, which he later changed his profile name to BeardIP, but that has now been scrubbed from the board for whatever reason. If you don't recall his posting style, it's very trollish. His sources of information are about as bad as Pimphand's, but he rarely engages in actual discussion and doesn't rant and rave with crazy shit like that other psychopath. For him, it's just a stream of clips and videos, often from obvious foreign propaganda Xitter accounts, YouTube accounts, etc. He's impervious to any appeals to logic, morality, or any sort of discussion. Watch for a pattern in the time is when he posts, as I recall PRONG HORN's posts tended to be in the middle of the night, as if he were working the graveyard shift or from abroad. I'm not saying he's some GRU contractor or anything, but he's certainly susceptible to those types of very divisive propaganda accounts. It's all just rage bait. Of course, I could be off-base, but that's my strong suspicion.
  12. Itty bitty hands. Must be a fascist thing.
  13. I highly recommend everyone get the fuck off Xitter and stop driving traffic to that site. There are tons and tons of other options than financially supporting that particular piece of shit with your clicks, who donated $288 million to Trump's campaign and helped bring fascism to Amerikkka, not to mention all the shit he fucked up and all the starving people he killed with DOGE.
  14. The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.
  15. ICE in an unmarked white truck using vehicle in a much more threatening manner than that poor woman did. The guy at 32 seconds. ICE shooting shit directly in the face of protesters. No idea why this is blurred.
  16. He fucking pulled his gun out while the car was still in reverse.
  17. This multiquote is in the wrong order, but fuck me if I'm going to try to fix it because editing quotes in this new format is damn near impossible. Anyway, the good news is that the professor got his job back, plus a nice payout. And, uh, what's going on with the actual investigation.
  18. Putting this here because it touches on so many different topics. For all intents and purposes, the Western Alliance, as we’ve known it, is all but dead. And I'll be honest here about my feelings: I'm mourning the loss. Among the stages of grief, I'm swinging between anger, bargaining, and depression. I suppose those also apply to how I feel about what's going on domestically. Just pissed off at how stupid and destructive this all is, and full of contempt for the dipshits that unleashed this beast on the rest of us. Fucking sad to watch it all go down the shitter. Hoping beyond hope that somehow we'll avoid the worst of it, but with the knowledge that what we once had will never return. It feels like November 2024 all over again. Anyway, back on topic, I think the cycle of emotions I'm going through must be really similar to what's going on among our NATO partners (hesitate to call them allies anymore), who I'm sure are just hoping/praying that they can hold out long enough so that they can ramp up their defenses. And, oh fuck, how Canada must now be lamenting their geography.
