Thank you for all the memories CPB.

You want amything good, you need to defend it from the wealthy and their fascist attack dogs every second.
There really aren't very many of them, though. So of we wanted to, we could win this shit.
I recently learned there are only like 13,500 ICE agents right now.
There are way, way, way more people than that who hate ICE and, dare I say, at least that many people OK with taking them out...so...yeah, we totally could if we organized.
But we aren't organizing.

Babe, your election doesnt mean shit. It wouldnt mean shit if there were a team of electoral good guys to ride in and save you, which there are not. If the election even happens and isnt rigged, which I'm not willing to bet on.
You need, barring more creative solutions, a gun.
They are coming. They will fuvking kill you. They will probably already have killed me. Your ballot will not stop them. Dipshits like you throwing fits about civility are why we cant kill them first.
But hey, maybe you've got enough privilege tgat they don't come for you until resistance is acceptable. I'll be long dead, so fuck you if you decide it's okay to fight back after they've already murdered me. Fuck you so hard. If you end up in the camps, im gonna write such a harsh burn on the walls in my own blood, hopefully they won't clean too well in the months between our kidnappings and you'll still be able to read it when you get there.
Oh my bad I was talking about restoring long term funding to the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.
If you trying to squad up, Lemmy or any public forum ain’t the best place to do that.

wrote last edited by [email protected]But your election wont do for that either.
Even if the dems would do that, if they wanted that (they wont, they don't) they wont get to take office even if there is another election-im not even sure they'd take office if the other team let them have an honest win, because i think so much is being asked of them, that they would find an excuse to not take office. The ratchet is only supposed to turn one way.
And then you'd have to rebuild the whole damn thing, which I'm not even sure they know how to do.
Then there's all the other stuff we're gonna lose before thats even suppised to happen. Like national parks, critical freedoms, whole flavors of ice cream, and, for many, our lives.
And i get real pissed at people like you with their heads up their asses about voting. Civil society is dead, rip, stop fucking the corpse and help make a new one, please.

We’re still in the first act of the scenario you think is certain.
Meanwhile WDET is going to be short $700,000 next fiscal year and that’s what I was thinking about when I originally commented.
Had I realized we were not on the same page I wouldn’t have replied to your comment directly. -

Help replace the lost funding. $5/month or $60/year to your local station gets you access to PBS Passport streaming.
If you want to, you can donate more when you sign up, those are just the minimums.

Organizing on social media is virtually impossible. Also individual ICE agents are easy to replace. They are not the billionaires calling the shots.

They’re easy to replace at first. Once it becomes widely recognized that joining ICE=getting lynched by an angry mob in the streets, people will be much less likely to join.

No the politicians will simply send in the military.
The politicians and billionaires should be afraid to send ICE agents after people.
