But also all the stolen immigrants who have been harmed... We have no way of knowing each person and what has happened to them. It's terrifying. If Alex and Renee can bring people together, great. I think we all recognize that there have been countless victims who will only be known once we can stop this mess.

u/PlusVera Jan 26 '26
It's really sad it's taking white deaths to get action to finally want to happen.
I went to Renee's memorial service. There's a piece of paper listing over a dozen names of people that have been killed by ICE -- directly or in camps -- who haven't been in the mainstream. I wish I'd gotten a picture.
One of the late night political comedians pointed out that Renee was the 7th death since September, and the "occupation" of ICE officially began in December. We're two months into this. It's shocking how much isn't getting reported on because the news misses it and there's just no accountability. No follow up on any of the others, so ICE just walks away.

There's something like 70,000+ people "detained" by ICE now. That's an entire small city worth of people just disappeared.

Sadly we don't know all of the people that have been hurt by them. Last year approx 35 people died in their custody. How many are unaccounted for? This is just out in the open now
Edit: punctuation
Edit 2: I agree! We need to talk about all of these people. Keith was the first and no one talked about him. I first learned about him from you

I think the reason why they have gotten more traction is the amount of footage and angles of both those incidents. Its a lot easier to get the folks to care when they see it with their own eyes. Its a lot easier to share and gain traction in social media.
Its sad but its the state of media consumption

u/BallsyBeefCurtains Jan 26 '26
Exactly. Emmett Till's funeral is a great example. Many didn't care until they saw his body and the extent of his murder. Saying "a baby died" and seeing a dead baby, evokes different levels of emotion. I haven't seen what happened to many others, this year. Mostly just these 2.

Imagine if this wasnt real life and instead it was a book or movie script someone wrote. There's a group of masked thugs with the authority to do what ever they want. They are called ICE.

Here is what everyone must get through there heads.
We are dealing with a dangerous cult. A cults effect on the mind is to change the very way you see and understand truth itself. When these people, including their leader, look at this situation they simply do not see the same thing you see.
They use confirmation bias to later reinforce their warped view. “Well he had a gun. Why does he need that gun? Surely he planned to use it. Ergo, he is a terrorist.” This is obvious confirmation bias being used to reinforce and double down on a warped view of truth.
It is so important to me. I am in fact begging all of you to understand: this has gone beyond reason, beyond peaceful protest, beyond diplomacy. It is already too late and we are going to lose if something more significant is not done. You’re trying to reason with, and send messages to, an impotent government led by warped minds that are not seeing reality. They are indoctrinated.
I have A LOT of experience with cults. I am not just baselessly saying this. I am making an informed and educated observation and desperately want everyone to pass this along before we completely lose the country. What government we have left that has any sense clearly doesn’t understand what we are dealing with. No amount of reason or pleading or intelligent speech is going to change anything.
For the love of god please get this through your heads before it’s too late.
A true national strike could be the beginning of doing something worthwhile, but it can no longer be passive. It can no longer be without sacrifice. Peaceful protest on your day off is not going to achieve anything whatsoever, and everyone has got to start understanding this.
4
u/stevie_the_owl Jan 26 '26
So what do we do? Are you saying all energy should be put behind a strike and economic blackout? I fully agree with you that a cult is what we are dealing with.
6
Jan 26 '26
That’s what I feel we should do yes. At great cost and sacrifice. We should unite and rally behind a date in the near future. And all across the country just stop showing up to work. Stop leaving the home.
Bring the country to its knees and refuse to relent for days or weeks. However long it takes. However many times it takes.

I agree and I’m ready! It feels impossible to coordinate something on such a massive scale. But I would work to align my own community with it once the bigger decisions are made.
2
Jan 26 '26
Agree it feels daunting. I am but one person begging people to share what I’m saying about cults and seeing meager views and upvotes—tho this is not important to me as any more than indication I’ve been heard.
I wonder if it would be helpful for the leaders, like Walz and AOC, to take a stand and encourage the strike. Lead us into real action rather than offering words and pleading to the White House. Why could they not do this? How could we get them to act this way?
3
u/savsheaxo Jan 26 '26
Exactly. I’m seeing a lot of “when will this escalate into civil war?” It IS civil war. This is the beginning, it’s started and will only get worse. They are not going to be the last to die by the hands of ICE but they will not die in vain. We will have to fight back, form civil militias it is literally the only way idc if I sound like a crazy person I can recognize where we’re headed

I'm very sure all of us POC see this. We know and internalize that it took the public brazen murder of two white people for it to matter as much as it does now to the rest of the country. But that's not the fight to have right now. Solidarity against the monsters is what matters.
11
u/Remote_Cantaloupe Jan 25 '26
True. Black people die all the time in Chicago but a man killed by the police in 2020 rocks the whole country. Black deaths are commonly treated as background statistics until there's some precipitating moment in the culture that acts as a catalyst. White people get killed all the time and it's never treated like the 2020 killing.
But as you said, this is really no time for ethnic divisions, it's a time for Americans to stand up for the principles of liberal democracy, forming a patriotism of its own.

There is no one right wing propaganda network. Our media is owned by largely conservative conglomerates, which are owned by conservative billionaires (Bezos for example). The propaganda is baked in.

I guess I am a cynic, but a national strike isn't going to achieve anything. The oligarchs already have more money than they could spend in several lifetimes. Striking won't bother them. They've already won the financial lottery. They own everything and a strike is only going to make the rest of us suffer.
We need a better strategy.

I am all ears. Seriously. I'm open to any ideas, I just want to avoid more bloodshed.
2
Jan 25 '26
If I had the answers, I 'd be posting them. I don't know what to do either. I just don't think a strike will be effective since we're already at a point where the ownership class is even wealthier than they were during the gilded age. The only thing that stopped them back then was the threat of revolution so they compromised and FDR's Great Society was implemented. The gilded class has been working to revoke those working class gains ever since.
I don't see any way out of bloodshed this time as the current crop of oligarchs are both dumber and more radical this go-round. They simply aren't smart enough to understand that oppressing people doesn't get them what they want.
I often think that the extraordinary peace of the last 80 years (on our continent, not in the world) has created generations that cannot comprehend just how awful things can get.
I guess one solution (too late to implement) is for every American to be required to perform civic service of some kind. Either everyone gets military training (this happens in other democracies) or has to serve the country in some fashion with others in a place far from their birth to prevent insular parochialism. We are a very large country; we need to experience the country from other perspectives. Rural folk should serve in cities and vice-versa. Wealthy people need to experience want; poor need to experience opportunity; etc.
Anyway, I do know MAGA radicals are itching to execute those who show compassion and kindness. I don't know how to fix something that requires someone without a moral compass to develop one.

I've copied a comment I made shortly after Renee Good was murdered:
I gotta be honest. I've been feeling this way too, as an indigenious (and Mexican) queer woman. ICE shot Silverio Villegas Gonzalez in his car in Sept in a very similar fashion. He was brown though, and not a citizen. So no one cared.
But I found (for myself) that it wasn't helpful to give those feelings much energy. Because ultimately, what everyone who is against the current US administration needs to do is, be angry enough to change. To push for better. We are all on the same side.
Maybe I'm just used to people not caring as much about injustice against BIPOC people, but honestly, I feel like the time to tackle these issues are when we don't have ICE roaming the streets killing people. We need to be united or they'll win.
There are no perfect allies. And if it took the brutal murder of Renee Good [and Alex Pretti] to make people pay attention, so be it. I agree with you, but infighting isn't going to help. I don't know.
That's all just for me, my opinion and how I feel. I'm not telling you how to feel or move forward.

There are whole armies, battalions that have no idea that they've already enlisted in the cause. Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward. And then remember this. The Imperial need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear. Remember that. And know this, the day will come when all these skirmishes and battles, these moments of defiance will have flooded the banks of the Empire's authority and then there will be one too many. One single thing will break the siege. Remember this. Try.”

Is it still a strike when we're marching while armed?

Obviously that is not the definition of a strike. So no.

Im so angry, I cant stop crying. Seeing people gunned down in the streets, people being ripped from their families forcibly, all of the poor kids alone in those CONCENTRATION CAMPS being tortured and screaming for help so loud you can hear from the outside... what do we do?! How do we FIX THIS?! The government is doing NOTHING!!! HOW LONG DO WE WAIT?! I am getting my concealed carry ASAP. I've been a permitted firearm user for 10 years, but I have never felt the need to carry and protect my family and my neighbors until this all started. Alex was screaming and begging for someone to stop taking pictures and help him, and everyone stood by and watched, so helpless and hopeless. How can we stop these Nazis?!

All states need to follow Minnesota. Organize and shut this country down. The thing these people understand i$$$. They’ve already taken our money! This year 3 Americans have been murdered. We have no idea how many black and brown people have been murdered. They get kidnapped and are never seen again. The cruelty of this regime is devastating! We have got to all help in any way we can to stop what is going on! There is power when we stand up together!

Screaming into void to boost engagement on this post. We need more people talking about a national strike. It's the only chance we have to force Washington to take us seriously and listen.

It's truly fucking disgusting how you worthless socialists are trying to weasel your way into yet another legitimate issue and try to subvert it to your own ends.

The use of their names together may be clever but would their loved ones be ok with the catchy slogan for the sake of being clever?

Just stop going to work and tell others you're done working for domestic terrorists in the White House. Then, look around and see who else you can support to tap out.
