Hi everyone! New to the Fediverse and learning as I go. Damn glad to be here. Somewhat nerdy introvert. Interests are #socialjustice, #womensrights, #savingtheearth, #nature, #animals, especially #cats, #horror, #yoga and #spirituality, etc.

Profile picture is a T-Rex with it’s mouth open looking like it’s about to eat a man in biking clothes who is kicking at it, and a woman in biking clothes holding both of her hands up to shield herself and looking surprised.

Sometimes I wonder if the point is to keep us preoccupied by fear and worn down by work so that we are not given the time needed for true introspection and a better understanding of how we each fit into the world?

@TheresaReason @DoomsdaysCW I'm in Vegas. Until a few months ago there were several community cats that hung around my patio. I fed them and put water out. Everyone knows how hot it is here, and one thing I would do is freeze a moderate sized bowl of water then put it on my patio. I get no shade on my patio and It lasted longer even in the sun.

Just because the current Congress is allowing Trump’s authoritarian coup doesn’t make his actions any less anti-constitutional. We the people must stand up for constitutional democracy in the U.S. It is both our right and our duty to do so.

Remember, Trump STILL has sole control over our nukes. Why should he still be allowed to use them? Can we work to do something to stop him? #iranBombing

I wrote this 4 daya ago.

if Trump tells the Generals to nuke Iran, they have to listen to him.
Rep Jamie Raskin introduced a bill in 2018 so Congress could determine his mental capacity. It died in Committee.

Long run today took me on Westside Road. I realized last week that it's still closed from the massive slide last winter, and thus free of tipsy wine sippers behind the wheel!

It was glorious. Here is the view South from Wohler Bridge.

GhostOnTheHalfShell 2d ago

I like the idea I had a similar thought about outdoor public assemblies, where just a large number of people put on the same kind of clothing.

I like the idea, but I am given pause because there’s a trust issue if you don’t know who the people playing chameleon are

sidereal 2d ago

@GhostOnTheHalfShell @mckra1g isn't that just black bloc?

GhostOnTheHalfShell 2d ago

@sidereal @mckra1g

It may look that way because the ICE guys are all dressed up close to that, but the point is to confound them with the sea of bodies that they would have a hard time distinguishing from their own members.

And simply making it hard for them to do anything in a organized fashion

Yes, but like when a cop is doing it to be all, "Hello, fellow anarchists."

Can't be impersonating a police officer if the police officer is in plain clothes.

martinl 🇨🇦🤝🇺🇦2d ago

@bigolewannabe @mckra1g Furthermore, can't be impersonating a police officer if it turns out the ICE goon is not actually a police officer 😉

@bigolewannabe @mckra1g is ICE considered police?

Sassinake! - ⊃∪∩⪽2d ago

You'll only be able to pull off that once.

and worse, it could go terribly wrong.

Patrick Morris Miller 2d ago

@mckra1g Best part is, the ICEholes wouldn't know what the fuck happened.

@mckra1g would it work? might vary on the city but worth a shot because what if you succeed?

Brian Nicar 2d ago

@mckra1g Wouldn't be hard. Just throw on some jeans and an outer flannel or shirt. Put on a mask. Those goofy fucks have made themselves even more identifiable by trying to play badass.

crazyeddie 2d ago

@mckra1g They'll be able to tell I think because they know who they are and where they're supposed to be. Could cause massive confusion in the immediate area though. OTHER people not knowing who is "supposed" to be carting people away while refusing to ID themselves won't know who's side to take. Guns could fire. "ICE" almost certainly will.

@mckra1g I'd want a code word so it wasn't terrifying and people might know ...

cwicseolfor 2d ago

@geonz @mckra1g It would need to be prearranged by the targeted individual or else it just turns into a way of abducting people by posing as the "safe" option.

cognitively accessible math 2d ago

@cwicseolfor @mckra1g Makes sense.

Old Hippie Ⓥ Resistance!2d ago

@mckra1g This is a great idea. It's not like ICE has an official uniform so you wouldn't be impersonating an officer.

@Kevin @mckra1g if no one asks you and you don't claim to be, are you impersonating? Not your fault if they make assumptions.

ShadSterling 2d ago

@Kevin @mckra1g haven’t the agents abducting immigrants been avoiding wearing logos or badges? Do they identify themselves and their agencies when asked?

@mckra1g What a great idea

@mckra1g I mean if ICE is impersonating police, then there is NOTHING wrong with this idea. I love it!

Me too.
This made me wonder what would happen if EVERYONE started dressing like ICE agents....
Would #tRump implement a dress code....

What if we all went out dressed like this?
This would really mess with them...

@mckra1g oh...finally a good use for my clown car black SUV aside from just driving all my kids around!

@mckra1g It is a crime to impersonate a federal officer. This is sounds like a guaranteed conviction after the beatings.

One Catholic priest tossing holy water around seems to have deterred a group of ICE kidnappers and sent them scurrying. I think priests should do more of this.

Eggs now in different baskets.2d ago

@steter @mckra1g

But are these ICE agents actually federal officers?

Or are they feral officers let loose to roam as they please?

*sparkling anxiety* Evelyn 1d ago

@steter @mckra1g But it's not a crime to impersonate a priest (it may be a sin, but that's mostly a post-life problem).

So what if we all dress up as priests or nuns and start hanging out in the hallways outside detention hearings?

Overdoing it would dull the effect, and you'd have to avoid yelling out stuff like "Die, you motherf*cking a**hole pig!"; but you could probably be pretty effective at least at first.

*& hey, one of the jack-booted thugs might ask you to hear his confession

Juno Jove 2d ago

@mckra1g
So much wrong with this.
might terrorize others at the courts even further, and might those willing to help shrug people being detained as just being with friends and not in danger.

iveyline 2d ago

@mckra1g Brilliant!

EndemicEarthling 2d ago

@mckra1g Added bonus: ICE often don't even wear uniforms, carry authorisation, or identify themselves. So it's not like such a thing would require a great deal of preparation...

SIEM Shady 18h ago

@EndemicEarthling @mckra1g Was thinking this. Can't break the law for impersonating a federal officer if the federal officers don't even have an established persona.

@mckra1g how foes one apply there anyway? If enough sane people joined and destructed it from the inside?
No idea if they'd be prepared for this...

@mckra1g
Until the part where you get sentenced for impersonating an officer. 🤔

@mckra1g idk. It seems like it would be extremely scary for the people who think they're being kidnapped from their hearings by people dressed like ICE agents.
