    ICE is a racist and corrupt organization that oversees nightmarish modern-day concentration camps. For the most part, people who sign up to work for ICE are doing so because they specifically want to be in the position of punishing vulnerable foreigners who haven’t done anything wrong.

    How should I go about telling ICE that they can fuck all the way off up their own asses? Who should I notify that I’m calling them a division of the MAGAstappo? Do I need forms in triplicate stating that it is my firm opinion that not a single person who works for or cooperates with ICE is or can possibly be a good person? Do I specifically need to use social media to say that nobody who works for ICE is deserving of love?

      Report them to themselves for human trafficking? Better yet, report a local racist.

      Caveat: providing false information to law enforcement is a crime, unlike law enforcement lying to other citizens. In all seriousness, just avoiding them and not aiding them goes a long way, too.

      “Have you seen any undocumented people?”

      “I don’t know.”

      “Have you seen any people?”

      “I don’t know.”

      “Can you see me right now?”

      “I dont know.”

      Bonus points if you use “No lo se.”

          DEFENSE ATTORNEY’S OPENING STATEMENT

          Ladies and gentlemen of the jury,

          Today, we find ourselves at the heart of a controversy over words—mere words—that my client, a private citizen, expressed in a moment of personal opinion. The prosecution would have you believe that by saying, “No cops deserve donuts,” my client committed some grievous offense. But I ask you—since when did expressing a view about breakfast pastries become a crime?

          Let’s analyze this statement logically. Nowhere did my client call for harm, advocate for violence, or incite any illegal action. They did not say police officers should be denied their legal right to purchase donuts, nor did they interfere with any officer’s access to baked goods. At worst, this is an unpopular opinion about who is deserving of a treat—nothing more, nothing less.

          The First Amendment of the United States Constitution explicitly protects free speech, including statements that may be controversial, divisive, or even offensive to some. Are we to live in a society where expressing a strong opinion about food allocation becomes a legal matter? If my client had said, “No lawyers deserve coffee,” would we be standing in this courtroom today? I think not.

          The prosecution may argue that this statement was meant as an insult, but let’s be honest—police officers, like all of us, are no strangers to criticism. Their service, though invaluable, does not place them above public commentary. Furthermore, let us not ignore the playful, perhaps even tongue-in-cheek, nature of this statement. Are we to criminalize sarcasm? Ban humor? Outlaw pastry preferences?

          Ladies and gentlemen, my client did not deny officers their rights. They did not prevent a single donut transaction. They did not issue a call to arms against glazed or jelly-filled pastries. They simply shared a personal viewpoint—one that, while perhaps controversial in certain coffee shops, is well within their legal rights.

          At the end of the day, I trust you to make the right decision: to uphold the principles of free speech, reject this absurd overreach, and find my client not guilty of the so-called “crime” of having an opinion.

          Thank you.

    so just out of the blue a thought occurred to me. There should be a clandestine operation in line with conspiracy theories, but done for chaotic good.

    You know, like someone sets up fake news orgs. like they have putting out heaps of garbage disinfo, but have it run counter to the far right.

    Some example headlines:

    ICE agents caught up in a massive homosexual rape ‘hazing’ ring. Really plays up the homophobic vibe these dickheads ride on.

    Local sheriff department hiding illegal immigrants because they’re in charge of the annual BBQ (and somewheres in the article the locals who go to the bbq have eaten the cats…they’ve eaten the dogs!

    Name and shame the proud boys and other Nazi orgs with their Only Fans accounts.

    the ol’ just asking questions: Is Vance a secret Jew?

    shit like that.

          The only thing which distinguishes us from fascists is principles. “Facts” are not something I am willing to abandon, on principle, at least not on the strategic level.

          As a discrete tactic, sure, lie to ICE, lie to cops - but when we’re talking about lying to everyone, that’s over the line for me.

            Propaganda goes both ways. What I think could be done is to capitalize on their phobias and prejudices.

            So I guess, also, was that I wasn’t talking with you, so I’m going to pick up my ball and go home pouting.

            You keep your moral high ground, I’m going to find me a Bear Jew to go play baseball.

    Fuck ICE. I’ve started referring to them as the American Schutzstaffel. That has more appropriate acronym for them too.
