I don’t even know what else to add to this headline. This is so fucked up and tragic scary and infuriating and it will in no way slow the resistance.

    We are under violence, we are in the middle of violence, what you refer as “violence” is basic survival, self defence. It is not violence.

      Physical self-defense from an existential and immediate threat implies interceptive and reciprocative violence from the defender.

      Violence in such situations is not only justified, but is required.

      In simple terms, one isn’t justified to start the fight, but one is morally obligated to end it, if they have the power to do so.

        Also, not sure if I mentioned it in this thread, because I have been spamming non stop in every conversation.

        ORGANIZE.

        all this “self defence” or “getting armed” is useless and 100% BS if we do not organize, you will only end up as a lone corpse. Organize, make contacts, groups, consistently attend local politic meetings with them, you have absolutely no idea how much power a handful of people have when they consistently raise their collective voices.

        This is a systemic attack, not an individual attack, they aren’t sending an ICE agent to you personally. they are an institutional threat to everyone. we need collective self defence.

        Organize, distribute ICE whistles, if you are white enough to be “moderately safe” from ICE follow them and warn everyone. build mutual aids, connections with similar groups in nearby regions.

        a 100.000 lone wolves are usless. 100.000 organized mass is unstoppable.
