    I make sure to make a false report to an empty property every day for my local ICE

    If they ever want to talk with me about it they can waste more time :3

      Get annoyed with them because they haven’t found them! Act like they are in plain site all the time and are almost always there. You keep seeing them everywhere and they are not doing their job!

      This was honestly one of the single scariest scenes in the show for me. (Haven’t watched S2 because I’m beyond done with Disney.)

      And the reasoning is simple; it felt real. No high stakes heists. No grand battles or epic duels. Just plain abuse of power.

        Watching it for free is very moral. It’s a great show. Suprisingly the best star wars media to date (in my opinion)

      I love that Andor portrayed fascist regimes towards ordinary citizens in this way.

      Because this is reality for people that don’t look a certain way in the US

    Hilarious, but also, ICE doesn’t give a fuck if you’re legal. They’ve already ‘accidentally’ deported citizens.

    Maybe to give someone more at risk a better chance of getting away, but not just for the funsies. Stay safe out there in these trying times.

    When people are being disappeared for nothing but the color of their skin, no way would I fuck with them just for funsies. It’s all fun and games until you end up hogtied, and in the back of a truck by cowards with masks, with no due process at all.

    I know someone who is Indian, 3rd generation in the US, full American citizenship, and she was detained by ICE at the border coming in from Canada with no justification whatsoever.

    They made her call her employer (a government contractor) to verify her employment.

      I’m hoping things might start turning. The October 18 protest and the bloodbath in yesterday’s election shows that majority of Americans are pissed.

      I think it may some Republicans start thinking if their “trump train” is going in the right direction.

        When fascists start losing, they tend to respond with more cruelty. It’s the only way they know how to maintain power. They also know they’re turbo fucked if they lose power.

        In the long run, this can’t work, but they’ll do lots of damage trying.

          Trump won’t, but some politicians are trying to distance themselves. For example Greene. That doesn’t mean she now is trustworthy (quite the opposite) but it will be hindrance to him.

          This also is signal to those that are doing their bidding like ICE that they might be on the losing side and be thrown under the bus.

          Same with service members.

          They need other people to do their bidding.

            Supposedly MTG was specifically instructed not to run for reelection by Trump (and defying such commands by a party leader is political suicide of course), so now she’s lashing out and trying to knock him down a few pegs, likely banking on looking better when he either passes or falls from power, whichever happens first

            Nah, this will not happen. People like Greene are irrelevant, as Trump has bullied far more popular politicians out of office without the power of the state at his disposal. ICE are Trump’s most loyal and will never abandon him; only service members forced to break their oaths would ever turn on him, and I doubt anything outside of impending nuclear Holocaust will build enough momentum to topple him.

          And we say again: Please see the previous election.

          These people are doing all they can already to change votes. Those in power are ruthless, but they’re scared of getting caught (they just generally suggest their supporters should “do something”)

        Oh it is going in the right direction alright, it is just picking up speed.

        They may have slowly realized that the stations it is passing just keeps getting worse…

    Gotta pop their tire and put a fish in the glove box first. Had someone do that to my sister in highschool.

      Don’t do this - it’s loud! Also do not put a nail inside of a matchbox-like piece of cardboard to keep it upright, and drop it in front of the tire, because that will also be loud when it goes off, and make the agent very embarrassed!

    ICE agents can’t read and don’t care anyway - they’ve kidnapped plenty of people who are not in the US “illegally”
