Border Patrol Agent Aiming 40mm Launcher At My Head - ICE Protest 1/31
Picture from Saturday's protest at the Portland ICE facility. An agent fixed his 40mm launcher at my head twice, despite me very obviously being a photographer.
Be careful. Cameras are apparently guns now according to dhs
Oooo shots fired! No, for real... murderous agents fired shots.
The resistance and pressure as well as non-compliance Minneapolis has been doing is very good. The only addition is I'd add that they need to regularly guard their neighborhoods, armed. That they have contact with others in multiple ways to warn of ICE in the area. Maybe not armed but when a task force of ICE is found, they have a task force of citizens there to document, resist, and just be general interference. Far too many people talk about resisting and violence against ICE to mean lone wolf shooting. That's not what we're calling for.
Like fucking Russia or any 3rd World dump. Piss off MAGA!
Libs looking at American pigs doing the thing they've done for a century: What are we? A bunch of filthy foreigners?
Sees America doing American things in the American way they always have: "this looks like something those inferior foreigners would do!"
American exceptionalism is a religion
'Murica sure does love it some war. War over here, war over there. War all over and everywhere. War on brown people. War on drugs. War on civility. War on guns. War is hell? Nah, not for 'murica, War is opportunity for 'murica prosperity.
This sounds like one of those raps that absolutely anyone from a channel 5 video spits unprompted
As a brown I fully agree, but also look back at history and think... don't all dominant empires pull the same shit?
Yes they do, but people are just mad at America specifically right now so they just pretend we're the only country that has ever done anything evil
Don't worry. Israel is being a real piece of shit too, in collaboration with the ole pedophile.
Well said. Everyone wants to shit on the USA but no one wants to help.
The US needs to fix its own shit.
Good thing that wasn't the attitude towards Germany in WWII.
It WAS the attitude until it started invading its neighbours.
And what has the US, the country with the most powerful military in the world, been threatening to do lately?
People don't realize most of the world turned a blind eye to hitlers atrocities and viewpoints (some even embraced them) it's only when Hitler became aggressively expansive on their territories when the world decided to step in...
Childish Gambino was pulling his punches.
Beautiful shot.
There is SO much good potential for solid propaganda messaging here. Look how scary and threatening these gasmasked brown-suited goons are. They even got the polarized lenses in Villainous Henchmen red?!?! What a GIFT!
They're like the Combine or XCOM 2's Advent. Heck they even got a Killzone Helghast thing going on!
C'mon artists! Let's take this inspiration and put up elaborate guerilla murals and wheatpaste posters all over town.
Imagery and art that can't be ignored:
"Look at these filthy storm troopers, dragging away children, pointing their big lethal guns at expectant mothers and nuns and doctors and puppies!"
Get the message across to the ignorant uninvolved masses: These aren't the friggin Paw Patrol. They do nothing for "safety." They don't target criminals. (A bunch of muppet-brains actually try to say this with a straight face. It's mind-blowing.)
Show them unmistakably as they are: They're pitiless and alien, they're evil, they're scary, and they're a Bad Thing.
If you and your community don't help stop them TODAY, they'll laugh as they throw you and your neighbors into a van after shooting your dog.
The best artists use references, and the photo is right here. Let's get to work!
(PSA: If you do this digitally, don't forget to upload your "fan art" with TOR! 😉)
Thanks for what wheatpaste into my lexicon and toolbox.
Haha neat! :D
Apparently it's turned into a specific brand name for a few companies, but here's where the term and technique came from, if you or anybody else is interested. :)
Don't catch you slippin' now
Look what I'm whippin' now
Pick Up That Can
pokes holes on one side and smokes weed and can paint
I remember when they deemed Paris a war zone. Well well well. How the turntables...
Modern equipment, same old brownshirts.
The dissonance is amazing. There are ads for murcan tourism playing on tv here ( Australia ). The ads depict national parks, playing children, scenes of beauty. Then you see the real murca in these photos. The scenes from ‘Fallout’ are closer to reality than the tv ads. Makes you wonder who they think they’re fooling with the ads. We laugh at them ( the ads, not the murcans) the same way you laugh at old popeye cartoons.
Yeah, the Kremlin is having a great time being continually entertained by the slow death of a country. Yeah, they love to show the dissonance, the hypocrisy, and to say the end of the West is coming according to Aleksandr Dugin.
It's crazy how much, even now, American liberals still can't admit fault without resorting to Judeo-Bolshevick style conspiracy theories.
And just so you know, most of the world is happy to see the evil empire collapsing, not just those dang ruskies.
So we need to increase funding, to send them all to basic firearm safety training? Maybe the Scouts can run it for a merit badge - my kids knew better than that while still in elementary school school (slingshot safety training covered firearms years before they were allowed to touch them)
Don't let the so called Land of the Free turn into this:
The tanks stopped for tankman, who proceeded to climb on the tank to yell at the commander. The guy got down and was ushered away by random civilians.
We went past that in 2020, when individuals or crowds tried to block police vehicles, they often drove into them. They went further in 2025, with multiple people being murdered for doing the equivalent of what Tank Man did.
"The Land Of The Free" is one step above 2020 Nigeria or 2022 Myanmar levels right now.
