The horrifying thing is that they are just getting started.
That was on the corner of Electric Ave and Mason Street in Somerville, MA. I used to live very near there.
I also expect the community to form some sort of vigilance committee to get volunteers on the streets to do what the person who was recording doing, only hopefully with more presence.
- So far people are only willing to wave signs, complain on the internet, and waggle their fingers at Republicans.
  These MAGA dipshits don't respect you and ICE won't either, so nothing short of something equivalent to the Black Panther Party having armed civilians doing patrols protecting their local neighbors countering jack-booted law enforcement is going to work.
  
  Something like catching the oppressors for public displays and having some guillotines around would also help. The MAGA dipshits are only proud when they are hiding behind their online handles or protected by the safety of "I was just following orders", but I severely doubt they'd flaunt their principles that much when stuck with the IRL consequences of their actions addressed at their names and faces (and necks).
  
  Eg, Lincoln Heights, Ohio. https://www.yahoo.com/news/armed-men-guarding-streets-lincoln-132743700.html
Now USAdians can apreciate what you have been doing to the rest of the world. Hope you enjoy
- Yeah, because the people being targeted now are the same people who were targeting others outside the US. 🙄 What an absolute garbage take.
  
  Thats some kindergarden level argument here
Immediately downloaded the video just in case it gets taken down!
I'm German and my father is such a Trump fanboy, it's sickening. I used to immediately debunk the hyperlinks he'd send to facebook or group chats, but he's been pretty quiet to me lately. I have lost all hope of changing his stubborn mind until actual mass executions are committed, so I'm just collecting all this shit to throw in his face afterwards to at least get the satisfaction of showing him why I was against this coming regime long before mass executions.
- Let's be honest... Most of these people are so far gone that even mass executions with be normalized.
  "He's only.executing the bad ones!“
  
  Unfortunately, you're probably right
- I spent a semester in Niedersachsen in Gymnasium (for those unfamiliar with the German education system, there isn't just one type of secondary institution, though I can't imagine being an exchange student for Hauptschule), and the American education system still did a decent job of covering Hitler's rise, but with glaring holes.
  Actually living there, you get a lot of context. Not that we were hanging out at the Rauchpavilion discussing the Third Reich or anything, but interactions in the '90s were still strongly informed by the Nazi era. A primary example is that anyone who claimed to be proud to be German was inherently ostracized.
  All of this is ultimately throat clearing to arrive at: This is worse than Americans have been led to believe (in combination with declining education standards).
  Much worse.
  When you've been spending time among people whose parents lived through the Nazi era, you hear the sorts of stories we're now seeing hit the news daily. Daily. It doesn't get better from here.
This might be the new high bar for scary action by this admin.
- Their first political prisoner, as far as I know, was Mahmoud Khalil.
Fascists in action huh. We need more of this kind of footage.
We need to catch these fascist tripping in a George Floyd type incident. Get people upset enough to commit to action. This seems too calm for people to get enraged.
Her lawyer said: “We are unaware of her whereabouts and have not been able to contact her,” “No charges have been filed against Rumeysa to date that we are aware of.”
Very evil. Some irony in that they want to make it illegal for protesters to wear masks. Past any point of return for zionist fascism in America. Too much bipartisan unity in supporting it, and then "next they will come for some others, and opposition will still say nothing."
