"ICE needs training"
Imma stop you right there. Jonathan Ross, the man who murdered Renee Good by shooting her in the face three times and then calling her a "fucking bitch" while fleeing the scene, is a 10 year DHS vet and a firearms instructor. He's who they get training FROM.
This can't be fixed with training. This gets fixed with lasting and severe consequences.

I see a lot of folk wondering why Trump is not worried politically about the unpopularity of what he's doing, starting foreign wars, killing citizens for...existing, behaving like Gestapo.
It's actually, like him, very simple.
He enjoys it.
He's a sociopath. He literally does not and cannot care about anyone but himself. Everyone is only seen in one of two categories: useful, or not useful. Neither category is permanent.
He grew up a huge fan of WWII movies, and cop shows and action movies. His TV addiction is serious. It's why his go-to insult is that someone is "low-rated". He can't think of anything worse.
So when he gets to watch live video of the soldiers he owns and gets to play with as he sees fit, shooting and killing bad guys just like in his favourite movies, he doesn't care about the loss of life. He never has, anywhere. He can't.
But he can enjoy the video. Knowing that actual brown people were killed making his entertainment probably makes it more fun for him.
And he loves the power trip of knowing his followers will cheerfully kill for him. He knows exactly what happens when he attacks someone - his cultists swamp them with threats, SWATting, and so on. He LOVES having that power, and uses it as often as possible because he loves it.
He's completely amoral. The only morality in his world is "do you have the might to make me submit? if not, gtf." Nothing is beyond him.
We treat him as the buffoon he is, but the buffoon has the nuclear football. It's funny watching a monkey with a firearm on video.
A lot less funny when you're in the room with the monkey.
His ICE thugs will get worse. He's just shown them how far he'll go to protect them from consequence for extrajudicial murder. So it's going to happen again and again.
Because he is preferentially hiring people who share his views. Meaning, other people for whom the cruelty is the fun part.
Resist. But do so in groups, and be ready to get away at any time.

"I yield!" the dragon cried at last.
It crawled away, leaving the way to its lair open to the knight.
"Princess!" he called out. "I've come to bring you back!"
A figure emerged from the cave, wearing an odd mix of armour parts, and carrying a pollaxe.
"Fuck you," the princess growled. "Make me!"

"The power of the Gestapo was used to focus upon political opponents, ideological dissenters, career criminals, the Sinti and Roma population, handicapped persons, homosexuals, and, above all, the Jews.
Those arrested by the Gestapo were often held without judicial process, and political prisoners throughout Germanyβand from 1941, throughout the occupied territories under the Night and Fog Decreeβsimply disappeared while in Gestapo custody.
Contrary to popular perception, the Gestapo was actually a relatively small organization with limited surveillance capability; still it proved extremely effective due to the willingness of ordinary Germans to report on fellow citizens."

Right now is a really important time to be learning about the history of fascism in Europe.
Even if you think you know about Nazi Germany already, how well do you understand *how* it happened?
Did you know that Hitler's movement started initially quite violently, with him going to prison for a failed coup of government? Only after years of sitting in a cell did he organize a movement that would see him demolish democracy by *winning democratically*?
Do you know what the Night Of The Long Knifes is?
Do you know why seemingly normal, good natured Germans voted for Nazis?
Did you know that when Hitler rose to power, he did it with a *minority* of control in the Legislature? Their victory required tactical alliances with moderate Conservatives who believed that Hitler was just a man who said crazy things but wasn't serious about all of it. (Hmm, where have we heard that before?)
Did you know that the Nazi Party was basically always broke, and required heavy volunteer work by dedicated members?
Do you know what the methods of persuasion and political organizing they used?
Now is an incredibly important time to be learning about how Hitler came to power. We aren't going to see a one-to-one correlation with anything modern, but I'll tell you that you will absolutely start to notice trends.

in reply to dansup • • •Right now the biggest blocker to me suggesting loops to friends and family is that the apps are in beta mode and not straightforward downloads and I don't want to scare them away since a first impression only happens once.
Do you have a list of blocking issues or a timeline to the apps being available normally?
