They grabbed a tourist off the street and detained her for eight hours while her daughter was left to fend for herself on the streets. NYC y’all better be starting some shit
Do not visit the USA. Just don’t. Spend your money elsewhere for your sake and for our sake. It’s no good to anybody for you to spend it here right now.
Go visit Canada. Nice people, beautiful country this time of year. And they won’t disappear you. I know because the Canadians have always been our good friends. It’s very sad how they’ve been treated.
There is a reason a lot of countries have travel warnings against the US
Tourists should avoid the USA (not to blame the tourists in this story, of course)
American citizens should be avoiding the USA at this point as well. No-one is safe.
I’m an American citizen and I got out. Absolutely zero regrets. Apparently it’s rapidly becoming increasingly common
Where did you go, if you don’t mind sharing? What was the process like?
Send help back
I am using my position to help my local community back home :)
Please return.
Or at the very least, stop being American.
No-one is safe.
Not until we make the police and ICE agents feel unsafe.
Not even Elon Musk himself apparently.
We can take a few american refugees, but we should limit it to the same measly numbers that the US has been accepting. That would be 50 000 per year.
Over a few millenia we could probably provide refuge for the vulnerable populations in the USA.
Americans hardly qualify as “refugees”, please don’t insult those who are.
Not yet. Not most of them.
No, we don’t want American citizens anywhere else in the world, leave them in their containment nation.
They chose, overwhelmingly, the circumstances that they’re in.
They did not choose overwhelmingly. ~30% chose. And even then, trump did not win the majority of the vote.
a third of the country voted for this, another third decided not to vote and thus allowed this.
That is true.
I’d say 30% are all for what’s happening and 10% are convinced the dems will put babies into to blenders and will always vote red. The remaining 10% switch their vote back and forth depending on how they feel about the economy. If they think it’s good the will vote for the incumbent, if they think it’s bad they vote for the other canidate. Then there are 2-3% of people that pick a random issue as their focus every year
Dude, fuck you. I didn’t choose this shit anymore than you did.
Inaction is a choice
Many of us are looking on in horror of what is happening. There is nothing we can do, lest we too be jailed, or worse, killed by the gestapo. Just waiting for them to come for me next. I really need to get a passport.
Just giving a bit of perspective. Fuck the United States.
I guess us LGBTQ and black/brown Americans should just put a bullet in our heads right now, then.
How are we better than them then!?! We should be better than them!
It’s true but they hate you for it. The US is lost for the next few decades.
Upvoted bc “containment nation” made me lol. I get the downvotes though, liberalism has been eroding our rights and our will to rebel for a couple of generations now.

I get it, but if you pitched this to a movie studio they’d say it was far fetched, so the average person can be forgiven, I think.

I think you’re underestimating the normalcy bias and overestimating how much the average person outside the US understands about what’s going on there.
Do we know it was a pure tourist visit and they could choose the location? Many state departments are already flagging the US with a state instability warning if not no-go, so I’d assume she (or the husband) was here on business, or because there were circumstances that pushed them.
To be fair, NYC is pretty blue, it’s just the NYPD that has been for decades a threat to the people, especially nonwhites, with Bloomberg’s mayorship taking much of the blame.
The Trump administration has set strict quotas for arresting anyone even suspected of being in the country illegally, with Stephen Miller ordering that 3,000 people be arrested every single day, or ICE officers will face consequences
What the fuck
Quotas are supposed to be illegal for law enforcement, not that they care about rule of law, but should be another note for the second Nuremberg Trials.
ICE is not law enforcement
ICE is law enforcement, you are mistaken.
Nazis. That’s what the fuck. It is all so “by the book”. That book was supposed to warm us away from stuff like this. But nazi rhetoric is being wielded so fiercely in 2025 that the rest of us are, justifiably, pretty confused.
So while that could 100% be real, the tweet source is a shady Nazi promoting rag, just to provide some context. It’s full of propaganda and fearbait even with a Hitler worship piece in their recent articles this year.
Anyone who still doesn’t see how similiar this is to 1930s Germany, is lying, a child or ignorant to the point where they their opinion should be ignored.
Nothing short of violent revolution will change anything in the states at this point. The courts are powerless, and the entire political system is rotten to the core.
Nope. The rulings coming out of the Federal courts (more often than not from Trump appointed judges) are unambiguous and the executive branch is largely complying with them once a ruling is handed down.
They are playing a game of legal brinkmanship in order to to try and circumvent the law (the whole dismiss-and-arrest thing happening at immigration courts - which are NOT full courthouses, btw), but don’t think for one second the Judges and attorneys working on these cases aren’t fully aware of what’s going on.
*edited for less word salad. Yikes
Where are you holding your violent revolution? Are you taking video?
I don’t even live in the states, thankfully. And I’m more than happy to watch from afar.
Why tf are you encouraging a violent revolution if you don’t even live here? Where are you from?
OP is 100% justified in calling for a violent revolution from outside. Let me tell you something most Americans don’t seem to know. Everything and I mean EVERYTHING the US government is doing right now to its own citizens is still not as bad as USA foreign policy. And people outside the US don’t even get a pretend vote.
Everyone on this planet should be calling for the total upheaval of not just the USA, but every nation state. Their very existence is the stupidest most destructive thing humanity could have ever done, leading into modern day capitalism.
So yeah, as usual, burgerbrains can’t comprehend anything outside of USA.
So you think a world war is the answer. Nah.

Ok
Never you mind, sunshine.
And the reason the US public is treated so badly by their government is almost any other country would have strung their politicians up by now.
Nah. Half of Europe is just 5-10 years behind the USA, as usual on pretty much any dystopian development.
Says the person who won’t name their own country.
Does it bother you that foreigners have an opinion on your country?
Does it bother you that people question your motives and the veracity of your criticisms when you try to hide yourself from like inspection?
Your country is also very likely a devolving shithole with a sordid past.
Maybe they won’t because it’s none of your fucking business?

a whole lot of people in LA would disagree with that, and there’s a shitload of video
They were mostly peaceful. And when I say most, I mean like 99%. They know how to do it.
Also, this is what most of you are doing in this thread at me.
Once we isolate key people, we look for people we know are in their upstream – people that they read posts from, but who themselves are less influential. (This uses the same social media graph built before.) We then either start flame wars with bots to derail the conversations that are influencing influential people (think nonsense reddit posts about conspiracies that sound like Markov chains of nonsense other people have said), or else send off specific tasks for sockpuppets (changing this wording of an idea here; cause an ideological split there; etc).
The goal is to keep opinions we don’t want fragmented and from coalescing in to a single voice for long enough that the memes we do want can, at which points they’ve gotten a head start on going viral and tend to capture a larger-than-otherwise share of media attention.
(All of the stuff above is basically the “standard” for online PR (usually farmed out to an LLC with a generic name working for the marketing firm contracted by the big firm; deniability is a word frequently said), once you’re above a certain size.)

I’m stocking up on guns and ammo at the moment. I’m trying to build an armory and pantry of like 6-12 months of living and Nazi killing.
Until the last three days, I’ve actually been fairly optimistic.
While slow, the courts had acted to curb Donald’s worst abuses. The tariffs wreaked havoc, but we saw when the bond markets reacted that someone in his administration was able to make him see reason. (My own retirement has recovered its losses from February.) Elon Musk was finally being thrown out of the administration.
But here we are now, and this is genuinely scary stuff for absolutely everyone that isn’t independently wealthy. The reaction of California and the courts will dictate how things proceed. This isn’t the well-organized, institutionalized abuses of immigrants of Dubya, Obama and Biden. It’s the heavy-handed, sloppy, careless and unmitigated cruelty of the Gestapo.
And, for me, I just can’t get around the fact that this is probably happening because a meme hurt Donald’s ego.
Trump and Steven Miller escalated the situation because they needed to feel good about themselves after Elon fucked them both over. This is probably what they planned for the elections in 2026/28.
I’m not going to blame the voters for the Democrats’ decision to throw the election, personally. They knew Harris was unpopular with groups they needed to win swing states. They knew Biden was unpopular too. It was their decision to crown two weak candidates without a primary and state publicly and unequivocally that they wouldn’t change anything.
You can’t look at your own record as president, knowing full well your actions and willful inaction have made people significantly poorer, and reasonably conclude that the status quo is an acceptable campaign strategy.
Thank you, you’ve articulated my feelings perfectly. The Democrats ratfucked everyone.
I honestly don’t understand their intransigence in the face of a looming fascist threat unless they just didn’t care.
And judging by how Harris’ campaign raised billions and still ended up with $20,000,000 in debt, it’s clear they were spending like drunken sailors and having a wonderful time not running a serious campaign.
absolutely wild that Taco Trump sent him into a blind rage like this
I wouldn’t be surprised if a meme causes Trump to send troops somewhere, only for it to turn out to be a trap.
Vlad claims Trump would 100% puss out before personally leading the invasion of Russia this coming winter.
This gritty new Home Alone: Lost In New York reboot, starring Donald Trump, is just a bit on the nose
This would be a movie that I want to watch, then turn off the second the kid is alone on the streets. Horror movies getting too realistic.
This seems like the kind of thing that’s going to get a kidnapping cop shot, and they’ll deserve that, but what happens after is a real wildcard.
Good. I hope it does. Nationwide. In large numbers. Fuck them all.
Fascism in America. Brought to you by conservatives.
Start arming yourselves. If you have friends and family that aren’t armed, help them get armed.
Don’t be fooled. The Dems used the same tools to their advantage before Trump. Its just not as blatantly illegal as it is now. They allowed these arms of the federal government to grow.
Ah yes, the Dems, widely known for snatching people off the streets on the fucking daily.
The key difference that your awful take misses is the difference between the center-right and conservatives. The center-right will support business and capital far more than it should and will drag its heels on things like worker’s rights but progress can be made. Conservatives, on the other hand, are angry, fear-driven morons who cause real, direct physical harm to people for he crime of being not who their deranged leaders prefer.
Centrists are worthless and their inaction leads to real consequences but it is the Conservatives’ action that makes them so especially violent and dangerous and as much as the centre-right does nothing they, ultimately, are not the ones causing the right to commit these atrocities. In other words, shut the fuck up, you aren’t helping.
Listen, I hate liberals as much as the next leftist, but you’re a fucking idiot if you think they were snatching people off the street for being brown.
That’s not what I’m saying. I’m saying they allowed these TOOLS to exist. They didn’t dismantle it when they had a chance. I worked in CBP in the past. They let this cancer grow.
Fascist shithole country
Fascist shithead citizens
This isn’t really a “boring” dystopia anymore. Can we go back to the boring one please
And then they all go “Please! We need tourist money!”
Yeah…. Nah…
I’m an American (Californian) and I go out of my way to buy non-American. If not that, I use Goods Unite Us to boycott any company that donates to the fascist GOP.
Anyone traveling to or even transiting through the United States at the moment is really gambling with their life. We need more flights that completely avoid that shithole.
I hope she sues the fuck out of them . NYPD is ICE thanks to Eric Adams.
“We’ve looked into it and decided its not illegal, also welcome to El Salvador”
NYPD has always been shit. Yes, it’s probably worse now, but they’ve never been the good guys.
“We investigated ourselves and found no wrongdoing.”
America is fundamentally broken.
It’s time to dissolve the union.
From the start
Hey is it ok for me to say we should run over ICE with our cars yet?
Maybe stop banning people for that in the middle of a civil war
You got banned from here for that?
I literally left Reddit after they temporarily banned my account for writing that Trump’s trial will be televised just like Saddam’s.
Why do we only control the speech of leftists?
Because other than obvious hate-speech, leftists are the ones who actually practice freedom of speech while the right screams and yells and bans books.
DARVO
You can get banned here for similar reasons as you’d get banned from things on Reddit. In theory the federated setup helps to mitigate it somewhat, in that if you get banned from your primary instance you can hop over to one that’s a bit more agreeable to your perspective and continue on.
For example, I was recently banned from LGBTQ+ on, I think the world server, cause I posted a fairly benign straight opinion to a post that had an image basically asking for cis commentary. It had like 5-7 upvotes, about 13-15 down votes at the time the mods kicked me out – so even amongst the community it was a bit wishy washy, but the mods still opted to take action. On Reddit, that might’ve gotten me flagged / banned site-wide, depending on which White House narrative the company is marching to on that day. Here I just lose access to the LGBTQ+ community, shrug at them echo chambering up, and continue about my day.
In terms of “Why do we only control the speech of leftists”, I imagine it’s because the threads you continue to access are left leaning – meaning those left in your bubbles, are the left-leaning sorts saying they’d been banned. Right leaning comments, and even (in my view) some centrist / neutral comments, still get people banned. These days we all basically have to assume that there are companies / algorithms creating bubbles in online spaces; you need to temper it with a good bit of secondary sources outside of ‘social media’ to get a more accurate picture of people’s mindsets/trends. Eg. Social Media + direct views of national/local news paper sites + in person discussion with various sorts.
When driving over ice, don’t hit the brakes. You might lose traction. Just hold the steering wheel steady, and keep moving.
It’s a lot easier to get away with killing people if you use a car. They might even blame the victim (or recently, their parents).
