Daily reminder to all ICE agents. By signing up for ICE, you have signed yourself up for a lifetime of fear and criminal liability. There are Nazi concentration camp guards that were tried for their crimes in their 90s. There is no statute of limitations on crimes against humanity. Your names are recorded; your deeds are known. And you will face justice for your crimes. And do not count on a blanket pardon saving you. Crimes against humanity are violations of international law that cannot be pardoned.

They should also remember that murder peaked immediately post WWII in Europe as people got even with their Nazi tormenters.

They will complain that women won't want to date them, but they also get to live in fear that the women who will date them are secretly planning to [redacted] them like O-Ren Ishii.

Those ICE agent would be very upset if they knew how to read

[-] pedz@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 month ago

Your optimism can only be admired. However the US has already stated multiple times that it doesn't care about international law and that Americans cannot be tried for war crimes and crimes against humanity, or they will invade the Netherlands. The ICC cannot even detain an American. This was during W Bush and his "war on terror".

And then Trump recently reiterated it with a new executive order, imposing penalties and visa restrictions on people even helping the ICC to investigate Americans.

[-] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 month ago

You're assuming the US survives. If the federal government collapses chucking federal agents at the ICC would be a decent way to earn international legitimacy without expending worthwhile resources.

[-] FreshParsnip@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 month ago

Good God I hope they are held accountable for their crimes

[-] WhatAmLemmy@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

The people can start holding them accountable any time they choose, Luigi style.

[-] WizardofFrobozz@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 month ago

Luigi is innocent. Stop.

I can't believe I'm living though my country's Nazi era. History will not be kind to us. I hate all of this. My sister voted for this and I'll never forgive her.

[-] PenguinMage@lemmy.world 17 points 1 month ago

My entire damned family voted for it... even my closest sibling who had never voted republican in her life... that other side indoctrinated hard... I'm so disgusted, and she even said "I'm so sad ice picked up one of my favorite co-workers!" "And you voted for that" apparently wasn't the comfort she was seeking.

[-] sturmblast@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

I mean... these people are ignorant as shit.

[-] PenguinMage@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

Too fucking true... just hurts to see it close by. I know she's smart... she's just, well indoctrinated... that cult is a hell of a drug

And they'll bend the knee. Throw some scapegoat under the bus, because this is the new Fascist America.

You chose this, America. Now no one will save us.

[-] thefluffiest@feddit.nl 13 points 1 month ago

It’s about this app: https://www.iceblock.app/. Download it, use it.

Why TF has this topic been around for hours and has no one posted this? Why is the drama again made more important than the substance? Don’t let the hysteria win.

[-] JimVanDeventer@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Download it, use it.

It is apparently restricted to US iTunes accounts only, for some brainless reason. So a lot of people who could potentially benefit from it simply can’t.

[-] Squalia@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago

Here's an ice tracking app for Android called F.I.R.E I saw in a recent reddit post

Oh cool, a president threatening to prosecute the press for reporting on something factually correct. Cool cool cool.

[-] SereneSadie@lemmy.myserv.one 8 points 1 month ago

The shitty press enabled this. Let them fall on their own sword.

[-] foggy@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

Something something free market

[-] riskable@programming.dev 6 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Noem told reporters alongside Trump on July 1 as they toured a new detention center in the Florida Everglades known as ~~"Alligator Alcatraz."~~ "Alligator Auschwitz."

That's the correct name.

The United States provides the best historical reenactment of Nazi Germany ever. Living history in action folks!

[-] atomicbocks@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 month ago

Just wait until they add the bonus Great Depression reenactment!

[-] CircaV@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 month ago

Yo Murica - something something, freedom of speech, tyrants & 2nd amendment? - or nah.

🤡

[-] Mediocre_Bard@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Nah. We're a fascist nazi regime now.

[-] GladiusB@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Can we just reload to a better save point?

How does this make any sense?

Shouldn't they be suing Apple to take it down if they don't like it? I know they just want to weaken press, but it feels like an especially weak excuse.

[-] vonbaronhans@midwest.social 3 points 1 month ago

Eh. Trump is publicly weighing the idea of deporting Musk. He'll turn on anyone, no matter the previous displays of loyalty.

This does seem aimed at CNN, in particular, imho.

[-] morphballganon@lemmynsfw.com 1 points 1 month ago

Probably because someone in his ear suggested it

[-] brucethemoose@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Well, exactly. Trump apparently has a line to Apple and could probably get Tim to take it down.

[-] rayyy@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

He's an attention craving blowhard but the cowards cave.

[-] SabinStargem@lemmy.today 2 points 1 month ago

If we allow Dogey America to survive, this won't be a joke anymore. Children will be playing with Alligator Alcatraz playsets.

[-] KingPorkChop@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 month ago

Trump is a big man baby with mayonnaise for a brain.

But most of civilized society already knows this.

[-] resipsaloquitur@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Who’s going to do it?

[-] mrodri89@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 month ago

That’s how many lawsuits against the press so far?

[-] nagaram@startrek.website 1 points 1 month ago

Bro how much did Desantis pay to get this angle on the header?

[-] xenomor@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

So, are the democrats and the American people, and all our public institutions, and private industry just going to sit around and let these fascist losers ruin everything, forever? Is that the plan? It really looks like that’s the plan right now.

[-] Sanctus@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

No one is broadcasting the revolution. Throw sugar in ICE gas tanks, cut the power to Heritage Foundation offices, and shut the fuck up about it.

It makes more sense when you fully understand what people mean when they say both sides.

People who want to argue that point take it to mean "both sides are the same". What it really means is both sides are complicit. It's good cop bad cop. The good cop has to keep up appearances, to sell the illusion of choice and safety. While the bad cop takes all the heat.

And if you want evidence, just look at how things have gone in the last 40 years. Republicans take 3 steps right, democrats take 1 step left. Well, do the math. That's a net result of 2 steps to the right without recoarse. Now repeat for 40 years, and you have a situation where it's literally gotten to nazi america tactics.

The old barometer for how far they've gone is when they undid roe v wade. Now, thats so far in the rear view, that we're at a point where unidentified government agents are kidnapping people on the street, without even confirming they have reason to arrest them, and at times killing them in the process.

Let me repeat that. We're at a point where government officials are now grabbing people off the street and killing them, without so much as a confirmation of their identity.

But don't worry, the democrats are going to wave their fingers in a "no no no" motion, real hard. We'll all be fiiiiiiine! Well, unless of coarse you're brown enough, or just mistaken for an opposing opinion.

Yeah. Both sides.
