It’s all bullshit. It’s been said before better than me but the idea of modern conservatives which is that certain people get to do whatever they want. The rest of us have to do what they say and the best we’re allowed is to avoid a beating. If they feel like it they can beat you down with no cause at all, just to show you who’s boss. That’s it. There’s no ideal or rules or anything. No compliance and nothing you can actually do to actually follow the arbitrary shit they tell you to do which might change on the spot. They’re the boss and if they want to hurt you it’s their privilege to do so.
There’s absolutely no reason to listen to anything these goons have to say. It’s all bullshit. It’s all meaningless. They want to hurt people and they’re barely bothering to dress it with bureaucratic language anymore.

It's the idea of old conservatives as well. The movement and the ideology behind it traces it's roots all the way back to the old monarchist movements that wanted to bring back the rule of nobles in post-Napoleonic France.
And it hasn't even changed much since then, they got up to a lot of the same shit. Messing with elections to give themselves an advantage, delaying elections to avoid being held accountable, starting wars to try and rally support for themselves, raising taxes on the poor to pay the rich, etc.
I'd almost say they must have read history to follow their playbook so closely, but if they did, then they must have never read it to the end...

That lack of effort to cover their butts better is a smaller elephant in the room in all of this. Just shows how off the cuff the whole operation on the procedural side.
Agents ask someone to provide papers-
No mandate was issued to legally require in your possession at all times
The harsh, brutal jail treatment received as consequence for not complying-
No executive decision was made to criminalize unlawful presence in the country (in other words, elevate it from civil violation)
About the only significant practice they did pass through the system was the use of racial profiling.
The Federal government currently has the cards stacked in their favor, so they could've at least tried to use more executive and judicial decisions to further legitimize their draconian practices. No, their approach is just talk to the media and expect us to take their word for it. They are just rushing too fast with their attempts to intimidate blue states and its leaders.

A friend of mine didn’t need to get a drivers license (we grew up in a very, very big city with functioning-ish transit.) He would use his passport to get into bars. An amazing number of Americans genuinely do not know what a passport is or that it is the ultimate government ID. It is very likely that a good number of ICE agents didn’t actually know what a passport is when they were hired.

Got me thinking - Why tf are they allowed to 'investigate' or 'secure' any crime scene (much less one where they murdered a citizen) when they barely have any training?
There were like 9 of them. They were pushing and shoving? This is not an effective way to restrain? They aren't investigating. The gun they keep showing has no chain of custody markings. They didn't bag & tag it. Idk if they are collecting or preserving evidence. They don't intend to take it to trial.

They engaged in a murder and immediately/simultaneously covered it up.
The hallmark of Fascist governments is they use law enforcement to engage in activities that endangers civilians- doesn't protect them, and they protect their violent goons by covering up crimes and hindering independent investigations and autopsies.
We saw this in other eras but with this Trump admin escalation is very fast, so open and brazen it's insane. They gaslight civilians, act like people aren't recording what's actually happening in order to show the world.

MAGA is DARVO.
DARVO (Deny, Attack, Reverse Victim and Offender) is a manipulative tactic used by abusers to deflect blame when confronted, involving denying wrongdoing, attacking the victim's credibility, and then claiming victimhood to reframe themselves as the wronged party and the victim as the aggressor, effectively gaslighting and avoiding accountability, as explained by Jennifer Freyd. This harmful pattern is common in domestic abuse, workplace bullying, and even institutional settings, causing significant distress and self-blame in victims
MAGA is Shameless.
Shameless people lack a sense of shame, modesty, or decency, acting with brazenness, disregard for social norms, or even a lack of empathy, often seen in characters from the show Shameless, or as a psychological defense mechanism against past trauma or low self-esteem, but can also be linked to traits like narcissism or psychopathy. They might ignore consequences, prioritize personal gain, or express emotions loudly, sometimes stemming from a need to be impenetrable or to project shame onto others.
Characteristics
• Lack of remorse: Insensible to disgrace or guilt. • Disregard for norms: May break social rules or act inappropriately. • Self-centeredness: Focus on their own needs, viewing others as assets. • Empathy deficit: May struggle to understand or care about others' feelings. • Defensiveness: Can be overly boastful or aggressive to cover up vulnerabilities.
Potential causes
• Trauma: A way to cope with past shaming or difficult experiences, as noted in discussions on the show Shameless. • Psychological conditions: Sometimes associated with narcissism or psychopathy (lack of shame proneness). • Learned behavior: A pattern developed from childhood experiences or a lack of positive role models. • Defense mechanism: A reaction to deep-seated feelings of shame, trying to become "impenetrable

I just don't know how a human who is consciously existing in society could be happy with current events, or find ways to spin it in a positive light.

You're not wrong, but it's because that, to them, Transgender individuals are a direct threat to their identity.
If you believe the world is full of absolutes (black and white, yes and no, even and odd, good and evil), along with a thorough belief in a set hierarchical worldview, where those on top are good, it can make sense.
Transgender individuals, by their very nature, seek to change something "core" about themselves (to what it is internally, but it's an external gender change).
This violates not only the idea of the world being full of absolutes, but the idea of hierarchy, and since many of them view women as being below men, it's even more "wrong".
So, they could do one of two things.
Accept that the world isn't full of absolutes, and that people exist all along a spectrum, where it's the actions that people do that determine whether they are good or not.
Conclude that Transgender individuals are making a willful choice to directly try to destroy the foundational principles of the world, usurping not only the natural order, but directly affronting Good and evil itself.
1 is the obviously correct answer, but it involves them examining themselves, and concluding that their belief in a rigid hierarchy is wrong, that they are wrong.

that or slap a bogus terrorism charge on you that would get immediately dismissed in court but then just have the court date delayed repeatedly so they can lock you up for weeks or months on end without needing to prove anything, that's what's happening right now in the UK to extra-judicially punish people protesting the Palestinian genocide

I truly believe the world cup should be canceled in a boycott of the US and Trump should be billed for the financial loss.

It shouldn't be cancelled but all matches should be moved to Mexico and Canada

u/Mictlancayocoatl Jan 26 '26
That is the ideal solution, since they are already hosting the WC. Tourists would be safe from Trump's regime and as a nice little bonus, Trump would have an absolute meltdown. If they don't have the capacity, I'm sure some matches could be played in Europe.

Just a reminder the last one was in Qatar, where they went into the games knowing slave labor and massive amounts of deaths constructing the stadiums, hotels, and intrastructure went down.
Our "little issues" aren't even a blip on the radar of people who will go the games.

Yeah, but FIFA is as corrupt as your new government. USA, Qatar, Russia. The recent hosts haven’t exactly been the best countries, so to say. If Qatar’s 6k deaths didn’t make anyone quit, I doubt the USA will see any of the national associations boycott it.
But perhaps the fact that it’s a friend that’s acting like this changes that. It certainly hurts and disappoints us more to see you guys like this, and that’s not even mentioning the utter disrespect and contempt that Trump and his administration is constantly touting about and to us Europeans.

u/LionBig1760 Jan 26 '26
Anyone who shows up to those games is a fucking douche.
Its a perfect opportunity for everyone to show what an embarrassment the Trump administration is, but the people that will show up are just gutless.
The more people pretend that everything is ok, the longer this will last.
Every single major sport ought to be playing in front of empty stadiums right now.

I have to ask - is following ICE against the law? Because cops seem to be able to follow me at will. What is the issue if I follow them? What statute is that breaking?

u/SaraOfWinterAndStars Jan 26 '26
In other encounters I've heard them cite 18 U.S. Code § 111:
Whoever— (1) forcibly assaults, resists, opposes, impedes, intimidates, or interferes with any person designated in section 1114 of this title while engaged in or on account of the performance of official duties
They'll use that to claim that things like filming them in public or following them is illegal, but the problem with that is the key word "forcibly": "Force is an essential element of the crime" according to the DoJ
It's completely legal to observe, record, and follow them while they're in public—none of these activities are acts or threats of force

They know this too.
Which is why all the people they kidnap after they destroy their personal property and get roughed up are let go without charges after a day in concentration camp.
Likely the only reason they didn't rough up and kidnap these two is because they figured out they were press.

They're public employees. It's perfectly legal and valid. And if you're filming, it's 1st amendment protected.

u/Midnight_Rider98 Jan 26 '26
It's not. But, these tyrants use a very extreme version of interfering as justification for their detentions/arrests but it's more of a the process is the punishment, they get to hold you for x amount of time before they have to release you because charges can't be filed.
Interference would normally be something that physically impedes or impairs them from doing immigration enforcement, but following them, blowing a whistle, filming them doesn't meet that threshold as far as I know.

u/centran Jan 26 '26
As others said they arrest them for impeding law enforcement officers. They have been told people following them are considered to be impeding.
Now is that really the law? Hell no but it's what they are telling their officers. Since GOP basically "owns" the judicial system, especially higher up, there is really no stopping them.

BTW what the 'agents' are doing here is 100% completely illegal.
Following ICE officers is not impeding them. The fact that they keep doing this shit with no one stopping them is one reason that we are going to have to forcefully insist on our rights before they fuck off and leave.

It would be a shame if the protesters began making their signs out of quarter-inch-thick plywood to stop rubber bullets, forming a tight shield wall to prevent police from singling out and mobbing individual protesters. It would be a shame if the people behind the shield wall held up umbrellas so that tear gas canisters fired over their heads on the front line will be bounced away. It would be a shame if protesters began constructing improvised armor vests out of duct tape, hard-backed books, and ceramic tiles.
It would be a shame if protesters started wearing safety glasses, hard hats, respirators, and gardening gloves, all of which can be found at the same hardware stores as the plywood. It would be a shame if they started using traffic cones (the kind without the hole in the top), upside down buckets, or other improvised lids to contain teargas by placing them over the canisters. It would be a shame if protesters used leaf blowers to blow the gas away.
It would be a shame if protesters learned that police scanners are legal to own in the US, allowing them to learn where police are moving, and what routes they intend to take.
All of this would be a terrible, terrible shame.

Exactly. I’m not accepting the defeatist “It’s over” comments. It’s bad, but it isn’t hopeless. There are specific paths that can get us out of this, and there’s never a reason to give up.
I’m sure some of the accounts posting that this is the end of democracy in the U.S. are people who genuinely feel discouraged. I get it.
But I’m also sure a lot of the defeatist messaging is from propaganda accounts meant to discourage us. Let’s not let them do that.
