Well, I get that Lemmy is an alternative social media, but it’s not really an alternative to Facebook. Anonymous usernames, text-based posts, you can’t follow people, Fediverse is somewhat confusing… I’d recommend it as an alternative to Reddit, but probably not the website where boomers want to check up on their neighbors and friends

Aughaughaughsjscjf did some ppl just not get the memo, or is this more of that “I don’t care if bad things happen so long as I’m not associated with the cause of it” mentality you usually see from non-voters?

For anyone who is undocumented (and people who are documented!), it’s important to know your rights regarding ICE:

1. Don’t open the door for ICE. They aren’t allowed into your house or workplace without a warrant signed by a judge.
2. Ask them to leave.
3. Stay silent. Do not talk to them without a lawyer.
4. If you ask you your immigration status, your citizenship status, etc, don’t tell them anything. Don’t even speak to them.
5. Even if you’re a citizen, still don’t tell them anything. ICE destroys communities, and every second of their time you waste is one less second they will spend destroying people’s lives.
6. If you are detained, ask to talk to your lawyer. Note that ICE doesn’t provide lawyers so make sure you get one in preparation.
7. Do not sign anything or give them any documents whatsoever without a lawyer in that room.

For what it’s worth, people are usually only inclined to take action after they themselves have been hurt so badly they have no other options left. I wouldn’t expect to see any political assassinations until our grandparents are losing their homes, food gets so expensive people cannot eat, censorship has taken away comforts like porn, and unemployment is incredibly high

Once all of that happens and still no action is taken by anyone, then yeah I’ll agree most gun nuts only collect firearms to LARP getting to kill minorities.
