For the past 45 years, Chicago’s Little Village neighborhood has celebrated Cinco de Mayo with a parade featuring Mexican bands, floats and dancers, and a festival at a local park.

But this year’s celebration, which attracts up to 300,000 people annually, has been canceled.

While yeah, I get it... I understand the choice- this, too, is a perfectly acceptable outcome by these uh well - nazis by a different name. They get to squelch celebration of other cultures and push their existence out of the public eye.

[–] AlexLost@lemm.ee 3 points 10 hours ago

Don't let them win. They want "these people" off the streets and out of sight. Show them what actually makes America what it is, not what they want to pretend it should be.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 18 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

This is exactly what they want.

[–] OutlierBlue@lemmy.ca 6 points 14 hours ago

The fascists don't have to shut you down if you do it yourself.

[–] ArchmageAzor@lemmy.world 8 points 13 hours ago

So, they're complying with the Reich's demands? Continuing the genocide.

This is the wrong direction - ICE should be absolutely terrified of coming into any major democratic area.

If communities just took care of ice any time they congregated and refused to talk to law enforcement, the problem would be solved.

[–] krotos@lemmy.world 27 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

It's time for blue states to exercise their "state's rights" argument and prevent ICE from operating within their borders.

[–] billiam0202@lemmy.world 12 points 18 hours ago (2 children)

Not one single judge in this country would sign off on this.

States don't have the obligation to help enforce federal laws, but they also don't have the right to hinder the feds from enforcing their own laws. That's what the whole deal with "sanctuary cities" was all about- telling the feds that those cities weren't going to spend one dime of their budgets to help arrest immigrants, but they couldn't legally stop ICE from showing up and doing it themselves.

[–] skuzz@discuss.tchncs.de 15 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

but they also don’t have the right to hinder the feds from enforcing their own laws

The Feds aren't following their own laws. They're doing whatever they please without warrants, breaking into vehicles and abducting people, which is not allowed by their own laws. They're breaking into homes without warrants and stealing peoples' property, money, and people, which is against their own laws. They ignore court orders if they don't want to follow them. The Gestapo is doing whatever it wants, ignoring the law.

So, in turn, their Federal laws are meaningless to states and the citizens of those states.

I don't disagree, but "the complete breakdown of society" is a whole other discussion.

[–] krotos@lemmy.world 14 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

I agree, but the judicial system seems to be in a bit of a constitutional crisis. It's time to start doing what's "right" instead of doing what's "legal".

[–] billiam0202@lemmy.world 1 points 15 hours ago

Your lips to God's ears, my friend!

[–] magnetosphere@fedia.io 39 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

I don’t blame people at all, but this is exactly what the Trump administration wants. Goddammit.

[–] AreaKode@lemmy.world 31 points 20 hours ago

This is an example of terrorism working. :(

I still want to see some sort of honey pot for ICE and the other goons. Like leak there's going to be a big "illegals" celebration in a meeting hall, wait for them to show up, then lock the doors. Fill room with carbon monoxide. Let them pass out and die while looking for their victims.

[–] BrianTheeBiscuiteer@lemmy.world 10 points 18 hours ago

Speaking of honey pots... ☝️

Nitrogen would be better. CO and CO2 both affect the human body in negative ways that tells the person "hey somethings wrong" or confuses them enough into thinking they're fine.

The human body has no way of knowing if it takes in nitrogen though, so you can be perfectly fine conscious and happy one second, the air changes to nitrogen and suddenly you're on the floor unconscious. If nobody collects you in time, well your brain can't live without oxygen.

[–] billiam0202@lemmy.world 8 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

No, CO doesn't. That's why it's so dangerous.

The human body only has receptors for a build-up of CO2 in our bodies. We can't tell if we have a lack of oxygen, so any odorless gas in large enough quantities will kill you without you knowing. Hypoxia looks the same no matter what the cause is.

[–] SARGE@startrek.website 2 points 16 hours ago

You don't KNOW you're being poisoned by CO but as I said, it confuses them into thinking they're fine. In their confusion, they can still do things and potentially even figure out a way out.

[–] msprout@lemmy.world 46 points 21 hours ago (3 children)

Can't blame em. Time for all of those amazing white cultures to step up and offer their incredible spicy ethnic foods for all to enjoy.

checks notes

Oh. Oh no.

[–] HubertManne@piefed.social 27 points 21 hours ago

The recipes are simple. Just boil until tough.

what, do you not like the kraft singles pizza?
Picture of a pizza with a melted piece of american cheese on top, instead of mozzarella

what about Literally Just Ground Beef, Corn And Potatoes But We Gave It A Racist Name For Some Reason?
Picture of a Pâté Chinois (Chinese pie), which is a layer of mashed potatoes on top of a layer of corn on top of a layer of ground beef

pinnacles of white culture right there!

[–] anomnom@sh.itjust.works 2 points 11 hours ago

It’s only called that in Canada where I live. Have heard it called anything but Shepards Pie before that.

A turnip truck just doesn't pack them in like a taco truck.

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 66 points 23 hours ago

Domestic Terrorists causing Terror.

[–] HurlingDurling@lemmy.world 4 points 13 hours ago

Then cancel all white events as well

Pretty sure CNN publishing this propaganda with this spin counts as terrorism

[–] Freshparsnip@lemm.ee 3 points 13 hours ago

That is tragic

[–] Kookie215@lemmy.world 12 points 21 hours ago

I would not be out at any celebrations today if I were brown, even as a legal citizen.

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 3 points 17 hours ago

That's the Orange Asshole and all his Trump-sucking fans' desire.
