1. I am pain free in my legs for the first time in about 7 years

2. My family and friends have been wonderfully supportive

3. I now have the energy to pursue my creative endeavors.

If your corporation's business model relies on lawbreaking, your corporation has no legal legitimacy.

We don't let narcotic cartels and trafficking rings list themselves on the stock exchange: why should OpenAI or Facebook be any different?

North Carolina voted for Trump in all three of his POTUS elections.

As North Carolinians struggle to recover from Hurricane Helene, Trump just denied their FEMA request.

Conservative voters: Understand this—he does not care about you. He never has. Stop voting for him. He will destroy you, too.

Sharp Knives Reduce Onion-Induced Tears By Limiting Droplet Spray, Study Finds - Slashdot

Cornell University researchers have solved a kitchen mystery by demonstrating that sharp knives produce fewer and slower-moving droplets when cutting onions compared to dull blades. The findings used high-speed cameras and particle tracking to analyze droplet formation during onion cutting at speeds...

Here’s an idea: Stop acting like the Gestapo.

Michael J. Coffey 2d ago

@georgetakei Did they include the ones they're doing in that total?

Tony Hoyle 2d ago

@georgetakei A 413% increase in assaults by ICE?

Seems a bit low, but OK..

Bundesnavigationsminister a.D.2d ago

@tony @georgetakei I thought the same...

tessarakt 2d ago

@georgetakei and it's not assault, it's the people's natural right to resistance.

HowToPhil (Phillip R)2d ago

@georgetakei We treat assholes like assholes, in hopes that they will learn to stop being assholes. That's called living in a society. ICE/DHS should just learn the lesson already and stop being evil.

Bodhipaksa 2d ago

@georgetakei I'd take any claims of assaults with a pinch of salt. "Resisting arrest" often means something like "didn't stay absolutely still while we attempted to kidnap and beat them."

Jimmy 2d ago

@bodhipaksa @georgetakei "Perpetrator skinned ICE officer's knuckles with his teeth."

Can't resist arrest while being kidnapped. That's called self defense.

@georgetakei Maybe don't come for people for having opinions unpopular with the ruling regime with the intent of sending them to a concentration camp, arriving in unmarked vehicles, in black uniforms and masks without means to identify prevent those comitting crimes on behalf of the regime from being held responsible.

When this hell is over, there needs to be no mending of fences, no bringing people back into the fold who have actively, gleefully terrorised others. If you comitted a crime for ICE, you should be prosecuted and the entire agency disbanded with everyone involved ruled ineligable for future government and law enforcement work.

@dingodog19 @Rycochet @georgetakei more and more people are saying this. Don't let anyone try and shame you into giving them amnesty.

baconandcoconut 2d ago

@fluffykittycat @dingodog19 @Rycochet @georgetakei If you were looking for a job that lets you terrorize and kidnap people then you aren't magically a better person when that job gets taken away. Now, we just need to figure out how we can take that job away.

Rycochet 2d ago

@dingodog19 @georgetakei A lot of people being pushed towards maga via conspiracy vame about as a result of nobody responsible for the global financial crash of 2008 being held responsible. The people who got off continued as they were, harnessing that rage and funding right wing candidates to undo what few regulations stopped them from repeating the feat, leading to the tea party then Trump to completely obliterate any hope of regulation. This needs to stop, no more reconciliation eith people who openly plan to use olive branches as a shiv.

It's absolutely sickening that we HAVE TO compare ICE law enforcers to the Gestapo.

Believe me, we would rather be reading and writing about art, joy, music, games and fun stuff, but some people are turning America into a fascist shithole and we can't be silent about that.

Well, since both of these people do not currently tell ICE personnel what to do, this is completely irrelevant for what ICE people do NOW.

quarkrotto 2d ago

@Heinzenstein @georgetakei A complicity in genocide irrelevant? Really? Are you human beings?

Heinzenstein 2d ago

Don't derail.

It's irrelevant for the question if it's ok to compare ICE to the gestapo.

@georgetakei Good.

I hope they fear for their lives in their own homes.
I hope they fear stepping outside of their homes.
I hope they live in constant fear of assault.

They deserve it and every single one of the Gestapo deserves what they get.

@georgetakei maybe they should read up about the Gestapo? If you do Gestapo shit in the name of a state that got corrupted by fascists you are as Gestapo as you can be.

Nuclear Oatmeal 2d ago

413%?

Those are rookie numbers!

Bill Zaumen 2d ago

@georgetakei If you bother 413% more individuals, you should expect a 413% increase in people reacting adversely to what you are doing.

Hint to ICE: if you guys want the public to cooperate, behave like legitimate law enforcement agents and show some government ID first, or at least wear an appropriate uniform. Otherwise we can't tell you from some random psychopath.

pack that heat, Americans! you never know when you'll need to stand your ground against ICE thugs trying to traffick your cousin to el salvador.

Honestly, though, it's too late.

ICE will have to be disbanded. People will never trust them again (if they ever did).

Good to see them trying to whine their way out of accountability. Shows they're afraid of it.

Keep up the pressure on the Gestapo, folks! Boston comedian Robby Roadsteamer is showing how it's done. Get a load of him "assaulting" ICE with mockery!

@georgetakei ICE - If your job involves kidnapping and disappearing people off the street in broad daylight without identifying yourself or giving them their Constitutionally mandated day in court, you don't get to claim that you're a victim.

You can fuck right off with that shit.

Starraven 2d ago

Not a high enough increase for them to realize they are on the wrong side, obviously.

millennial falcon 2d ago

@georgetakei 413% increase in people attacking the American gestapo, that's great!

lets get that up to 320,000,000% America! and cleanse your nation of nazi filth.

remember dont just attack them. hunt them. structure an ambush. do whatever you can to eliminate the enemy.

@georgetakei not enough...we can get those numbers bigger

@georgetakei I have a better idea: if they're complaining that means it's working! Assault even more ICE officers! Drive them out! Make them scared of following orders!

Kevin Russell 2d ago

All the "assaults" are children trying to get their momma back.

ICE is Gestapo. Assaults are by Children.

ICE wears masks, children cry.

Or by Congress Members Trying to enforce the law, who are charged with assault after being man-handled by men in Masks.

@georgetakei I suppose a significant portion of that 413% is by the Congresswoman who they falsely accused of attacking them.
