If you treat people as a group, they tend to lock together as a group. The police are already getting pissed off with ICE, in many places. That crack needs to be pryed open. Indifferent, pissed off police/FBI etc is a lot better than them standing in lockstep with ICE.

they’re hardly federal agents

while threatening them with a car. ...

Even in Russia, people are not being shot on the streets: detained, beaten up, etc - yes (I'm not saying this is good of course), but not shot. The US quickly took the lead in some of the dystopian stuff.

This is some Republic卐n-level shit.

Canada is fucked. Surrounded by Russia and the United States of Russia.

Russia doesn't even gun down its citizens in the streets, this is some 3rd world shit.

You could warn your area if you see ICE around on this website.

Finding and getting involved in a local mutual aid group would be quite meaningful, as it would allow you to meet people who share your same concerns IRL, and be able to plan and organize for how to react in your area. It's very make a meaningful difference alone, finding a solid group is very important.

Attempting to unionize your workplace if it isn't already would be very helpful to further prepare for a General Strike (as they usually have strike funds to make a general strike financially bearable), which is pretty much our last non-violent option to prevent all of this from progressing. You can see how a general strike helped cripple Chile's government while civil unrest was occurring in this documentary.

I'd recommend contacting the IWW, who will gladly train you to become an organizer with proven techniques to unionize your workplace.

Lastly, I'd also recommend checking out the book Full Spectrum Resistance for a more complete guide on how to prepare and respond.

Supposedly that’s already happening. Many of the people that were sent to alligator Alcatraz were never seen again. They weren’t traceable. And yet neighboring countries are reportedly finding bodies washing up on their shores. The running theory is that the US has been flying them out into the ocean, dropping them in there to drown to disappear them. It’s horribly evil, and yet it’s plausible.

We’re almost to the end of the end of the poem. I fully expect to hear “and then they came for me“ any day now

I think of the German people who did nothing

Yup... It's painful. I'm with you. There was a great answer below.

Get trained by a local rapid response team. You can't directly interfere, but by enabling people to exercise their legal rights, you can prevent a significant fraction of snatch and grabs and significantly slow ICE & CBP.

Fr, people need to stop treating the internet as equivalent to IRL discussions. Like literally every comment is "shoot your local cop", I mean like, I'm not saying that I disagree with the sentiment, but like... seriously lol? How is suicide by cop gonna change anything?

Just as with computers, your brain also needs a "firewall".

FTFY

Don't dress as MAGA, they won't believe it anyway. They already blame Jan 6 on ANTIFA. We need to take full, proud credit for our efforts. We need the world to know who is fighting back.

At their core, Conservatives are cowards, afraid of EVERYTHING - Liberals, gays, minorites, foreigners, other religions, women, women's genitalia, intelligenc, education, , morality, etc. That's why they will vote for anyone who will promise to protect them from their perceived enemies, no matter how corrupt they are.

So the best way to manipulate them is to tap into their fear. Right now they've been taught to hate us by the Conservative Propaganda Machine. We need to make them FEAR us to their core. That way, when we recover our country, we can terrorize them into slithering back under their slimy rocks, where scum like them belongs.

And if they ever dare to poke their heads out from under that rock, we aren't understanding, or empathetic, or want to show the good faith, or hear them out, or give them a second chance, etc. They literally embody the world's evil, and when they try to rise again, we will have to crush them mercilessly.

No exceptions
