There used to be a stream of homeschool propaganda and stream of "liberals are a danger for freedom" articles that no one flagged. Very consistently, the worst it makes the republican administration look, the more likely it is to be flagged.
If the issue is as dire as you claim, you should have no problem with users flocking there.
If there are armed thugs headed for a grocery store's neighbourhood, a bullhorn might be appropriate.
Seeing an individual brutally killed for no reason is heartbreaking and wrong. Even scary. Any reasonable person would agree.
Is this something to worry about that there is a coming tsunami of random thousands or 10s of thousands of people getting mowed down by federal agents? No, would be my answer. There’s no evidence of that risk. Believing it is unrealistic.
On the other hand, things that don’t make the news headlines but are more concerning in my opinion are things like unlawful killing by law enforcement. Did you know that every year in America there’s an estimated 1200 - 1400 people unlawfully killed by policies officers?
In 2024 alone (an Biden year), about 1365 people were killed unlawfully by police. Which, by the way, was a record. Thats tragic and terrible. There are these systemic problem that need to be addressed.
A couple of people being killed by ICE, however brutal, obscures other structural problems of government brutality that transcends Trump 2.0. Do you know how may people died in ICE custody during Biden? 23. In 2025, about 20-25, a 20 year record. So yes, more but if you believe the Biden ICE was kind and empathetic and nice to people, you are ill informed.
Be outraged, fine. But being reductionist doesn’t solve the underlying problems.
And in the long term, maybe America needs to admit to itself that its constitution and judicial system is complete failure in terms of defending people from tyranny.
Shutting down every thread about heinous acts in the name of "it's not interesting to me" is a very inhuman act in itself, and we the citizens of the rest of the world, should perhaps sit back and bear witness while the people of the US voice their disagreement in every square and on every corner while they still can.
the american people literally voted for this, seems like democracy is only good if your side is in power
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.?
By the way, wasn't wearing N95 masks crippling in 2020? ICE wears masks now without complaint. What changed?
