Summary

Since Donald Trump’s return to office, ICE and DEA agents have intensified immigration enforcement, conducting door-to-door sweeps in Colorado.

Initially targeting suspected criminals, recent operations now question all residents, regardless of warrants. A Denver apartment complex saw widespread searches, sparking protests and fear among undocumented families.

Activists and attorneys are mobilizing to inform residents of their rights. Schools report growing student anxiety.

Trump’s border czar, Tom Homan, confirmed a broad crackdown, declaring, “If you’re in the country illegally, you’re on the table.”

I would love to hear some constructive criticism from you. As in what people can do about it.

Doomerism is all fine and dandy as long as there's a goal in mind. Otherwise you're just rage masturbating in a corner screaming into the void.

Ok here's some constructive criticism: The 2nd Amendment was made for times like these, what would your grandfathers do if they were your age and the Nazis have successfully invaded Americas highest office? Inaction is action. There's plenty of historical info proving that a complacent centrist majority is required to allow a fascist minority to take power. Your "government" has proven time and time again they serve against your interests, for over half a century, when will it get through to you Americans? You can dig and discuss and follow the data all you want and every time it will lead to billionaires, and every time the conversation stops there for some reason. Perhaps Kamala losing because a population of people voted against genocide is a time for self reflection and reevaluation, not doubling down on the very people who got us here in the first place, I personally still hold a grudge since Obama's approach to the 2008 financial crisis that led us to where we are today. Perhaps we need to stop doing human sacrifices so that miracles can be performed by our God "The Markets," didn't we have a whole Enlightenment Era to get over this very thing? (Looks up the history of America and the late 1700s) And perhaps maybe, just maybe, occupying a sidewalk and leaving politely when ordered to doesn't really make the oligarchs afraid or take us seriously. Perhaps the best approach would be to gather en masse, guns out in the open, outside the gated communities of millionaires and billionaires. It's gonna have to happen sooner or later, but later requires many more to suffer. You can say whatever you want but the world is collectively watching what you (Americans) are doing (or aren't doing).

You're advising armed violent revolt in a country you don't live in?

God forbid Americans, the people yelling all day every day about freedom, use guns for constitutional purposes rather than shooting up schools.

That's not the point. The point is accelerationism from outside our borders is what's fueling a lot of the far right populism. Look at my comment history. I'm not for any of what's going on. I promote an organized resistance to what's currently happening and I do not rule out some form of armed partisanship. However, people who live outside our borders that are vying for armed revolt as the very first step; in a country where they themselves do not live, is frustrating.

If you live outside our borders and would like to help, contribute funds to the DSA, Signal, Internet Archive, SPLC, Trevor Project, OCAD or if you have family that lives within the states you can find mutual aid orgs local to them.

If you live here in the US here's a comment with some helpful resources for organizing.

If anyone has other resources that should be added here let me know. I'm collecting them for helpful documentation to build out local resources for all Americans as we're going to need to present an organized and cohesive front here at home.
