The real meaning of those ICE masks, as blurted out in a WA hearing

It was Sheriff Swank, a steadfast Trump supporter, who got to the nub of it from the MAGA perspective, however.  "I don't recognize your authority."  That's the real significance of the masks. They say: We aren't beholden to you. Not to state officials, the public, or the basic workings of democracy. You can't touch us. You don't even know who we are.

Alex Pretti shot at by 2 different federal agents in Minnesota: report

Investigation under way as report states two different officers fired at Pretti, though it remains unclear if bullets from both struck him

[K-Dog]

The Trump brownshirts justify the murder of Alex Pretti as a lib who got owned.

They also confuse ICE with law enforcement.  The appropriate comparison is the Einsatzgruppen



Police Power: This belongs to the states. It's the power to regulate health, safety, and morals.

Federal Power: This is limited and delegated intended to only enforce the American fascist regime.  State sponsored force, violence, surveillance, and detention that violates local laws is not law enforcement, lets be clear!

Alex Pretti suffered broken rib during previous clash with feds: report

Slain Minneapolis ICU nurse Alex Pretti reportedly suffered a broken rib during an encounter with federal agents prior to his fatal shooting.


The fascist spin is to claim Alex was a rabble-rousing terrorist and not a pissed off American.

Dictator Donald Says You Can't Have Guns

Only the Gestapo can have guns.




BERLIN, March 18, 1938

The National Government has promulgated a new Law on Weapons (Waffengesetz) to replace the outdated regulations of 1928. This decree reorganizes the possession of firearms in accordance with the national interest.

Acquisition of rifles and shotguns is henceforth deregulated for reliable citizens. The age of eligibility is lowered from 21 to 18 years.

Official Exemptions: Holders of annual hunting licenses and members of the NSDAP and its formations are granted broader privileges for the carry and possession of arms.

Prohibition for Jews: Under Section 31, Jews are strictly prohibited from the manufacture, trade, or possession of firearms, ammunition, or any stabbing weapons.

Penalties for Violations: Failure to comply with these regulations, particularly the unauthorized possession of weapons by prohibited persons, shall be punished by imprisonment and hard labor. All prohibited items found in the possession of such persons are subject to immediate seizure and confiscation by the Gestapo.

This law enters into force immediately.

You can have my guns when you pry my.....etc etc. Maybe there will be an exemption for white guys like the 3 of us?

Of course.  The brown people are the ones banned from gun ownership, just like the Jews in Nazi Germany.

This wouldn't have helped Alex Pretti of course.

Was Alex Pretti the subject of a targeted assassination?

Emerging evidence strongly indicates that the murder of ICU nurse Alex Pretti by federal agents on January 24 in Minneapolis was a targeted assassination carried out by the Trump administration's paramilitary forces in order to terrorize Minneapolis citizens opposing and recording its criminal activities.

Being as there were two shooters and Alex had already been disarmed, an insect could figure this out.  Yet some humans still manage to twist things to successfully confuse themselves.  Unique in the animal kingdom, only humans can confuse themselves.

Red Scare

The first commie alarm occurred between 1917 and 1920, induced by WWI and the Bolshevik revolution. A second round of hate panic happened after WWII and into the 1950s.  First Amendment rights providing for free expression and free association were put on trial in both periods.

The Red Scare  is the start of defining some people as dissenting vermin, and the FBI was re-tasked to fight socialism.  After a series of bombings in 1919, a young J. Edgar Hoover was put in charge of the new "General Intelligence Division."

It is not possible to define some people as vermin without some assholes claiming to be special.  The Red Scare as a point of divergence where capitalism got a chip on it's shoulder that would eventually morph into the current fascism makes sense.  Another milestone was the Powell Memo, and the Supreme Court has greased the wheels of fascism for decades now.  The purpose of the Supreme Court is to maintain class differences in my opinion. and their contribution to the current sideshow should not be ignored.

'Kavanaugh Stops' Are Making Streets More Dangerous

In Minneapolis, ICE agents have killed more people than violent drivers so far in 2026, according to Minnesota's crash database.


There are many threads that got America to where it is now. Another thread in the current fabric is raw racism.

I agree completely! Insects could figure it out...but some, for some reason, never will. And that isn't the only topic, there are folks still over at peakoil.com claiming that peak oil

Certainly the need for any discussion of peak oil, this many years after it happened and no one noticed, is apropos for the importance of the concept.  Certainly though it can be used as a marker of sorts, differentiating between those who might be serious on doom, and those adults who still believe in Santa Claus.

In threads related more directly to energy it can have a valid reason to add it to the discussion.  Its relation to the  development of fascism and the police state however is far too stretched for worthwhile discussion.  Its just a distraction.

Maybe. But peak oil isn't about "energy" the general, but "energy" the specific.

In a political discussion, sure, it is meaningless. Except for all the times when it was considered directly related to politics by all the folks who didn't have a clue about it. Or energy for that matter.

It mattered when it mattered, until it became a cautionary tale topic. But it shouldn't have ever been involved in politics, as it wasn't politics that figured it out but science.

As bad as the murders are, this stuff is even worse as far as freedom is concerned.  Talk about unreasonable search and seizure, this App completely OBLITERATES the 4th Amendment.  ICE shoots a pic of you at a demonstration, and POOF! 2 seconds later your life history pops up on the screen.  No doubt this App was used to target Alex Pretti for Assassination.

Himmler and Mueller must be rolling over in their graves with jealousy.
