    Agreed, however the reason ICE feels empowered to execute people in the streets is the same reason American boots might cross your border without your consent this year, depending on where you live. Or your economy might soon turn into a wartime one. Unfortunately the USA is a powerful force on this planet.

  Consider that there is a large contingent of hackers on this forum who actually care about this stuff (the future of democracy), and are desperately upvoting it for visibility despite it continuously being flagged off by people who'd rather be talking about the latest in B2B AI or something..

      Like it or not, this whole VC funded ivory tower where you can insulate yourself from the reality of what's happening outside depends on the civil stability of this country. You can choose to ignore it at your own peril.

        Then go build your own HN where you can have political flamewars 24/7. If the issue is as dire as you claim, you should have no problem with users flocking there.

        I stand with Tokyobreakfast, let them take this to reddit, where it belongs.

        Impressive. Few months old accounts are telling what can be posted.

      > Because that's what this site is for, for the same reason you don't take a bullhorn into a grocery store to talk about "the future of democracy". If there are armed thugs headed for a grocery store's neighbourhood, a bullhorn might be appropriate.

        Talking about it here has ZERO effect on the ground in Minnesota.

    > in-progress violent authoritarian takeover of the world's leading superpower at least worth discussing? There’s nothing much to discuss, is there? And if there is, wouldn’t you agree that there are better and more effective places? Like over at Reddit, etc.?

      When and where the trials are held, piecing together records of which "agent" was where despite Trump's cronies having ICE not identify themselves, and wear masks. By the way, wasn't wearing N95 masks crippling in 2020? ICE wears masks now without complaint. What changed?
