In relation to this, thinking about a new community for Political Activism. Calls to action, that kind of thing.

The rules would be super simple:

  1. Purpose is for protest organizing. [Country, City, State]

  2. Absolutely no calls for violent action.

  3. No links to fundraisers. Too rife for fraud and abuse. Stories about fundraisers would be fine, but no GoFundMes, etc.

Think there's room for PolticalActivism?

"Fatally shooting" someone is called murder when it's calculated and done to the back of the head of a mother trying to drive away BTW

    People say it was 2nd degree murder, but I say it was 1st degree. To me, he had enough time to decide on killing someone.

    Based on his behavior before, during, and after the murder it’s clear that it was planned, calculated, and premeditated. He was intentionally creating the circumstances to give himself an opportunity to murder somebody.

    He is a murderer and deserves to hang.

    He also has a habit of standing in front of moving vehicles. I wonder what percentage of ICE officers have been in 2 vehicle related incidents within months of each other. Oh, just this guy? He's either the most unlucky man, REALLY stupid, or internationally putting himself in harm's way so he can draw his weapon...but the logical thing in Trumpers' minds is to blame the woman that he had the wherewithall to shoot in the face, accurately, several times, while simultaneously being "hit by a car" and "fearing for his life". Seemed pretty cool, calm, calculated and unphased to me though...

    It was said that the guy reached in through the window in that earlier incident, and that entanglement is why he was dragged along. After all, a predator wouldn't want to let such fresh prey go after he gets his hands on one, yes?

    The officer can argue all he wants that from his point of view it appeared for a split second that she was going to run him over (although he'd have to explain why he shot her after he was obviously no longer in the car's path).

    But in the video footage it is obvious that she was not trying to run him over and trying to pin domestic terrorism charges on her is a blatant cover-up attempt.

    Radio-Canada journalist Azeb Wolde-Giorghis reports from Minneapolis, where tensions are high — but sombre at the site of a vigil for the 37-year-old woman who was killed by an ICE agent on Wednesday.

    Joe, a resident who lives walking distance from the scene of the shooting, told CBC he came by because he "just felt the need to come out and pay homage to this mother."

    "It's very tough for our community; we've had this happen before and I love this community," he said, referencing the 2020 death of George Floyd at the hands of police — an incident that took place less than 2 kilometres from this scene.

    He continued: "I'm sad, and I've got a little bit of rage in me that I need to pacify, because I'm just pissed right now. And I think a lot of people who care about our community are pissed. We don't want an invading force — that's so un-American. Like, all of this is so un-American to us."

    Joe then gestured to the two people standing next to him who had also come to pay respects to Good, saying they were from China and Switzerland.

    "To try and explain this to them, it's just mind-boggling."

    Here is the latest video of the murder, from the butcher's own camera.

    Renee Good's final words to her murderer: “That’s fine dude, I’m not mad at you.”

    What I don't get is how ICE is still allowed to walk around masked up and unidentified as individuals.

    Is there any kind of coordinated sousveillance being done by activists? These people should all be getting identified because even if another admin comes in, before the Republican one exits, they'll be covering up/shredding records on who is employed in ICE.

    I think that's a great idea, I often lament not being more connected to events and calls to action because I don't have reddit or meta apps. I often don't hear about things until after they've occurred.
