I'm gonna throw out some thoughts on recent events. My knowledge and ideas are far from perfect, but I'm willing to learn, so feel free to tear my ideas to shreds in the replies. (Just be nice about it 😇)

The US needs mass resistance right now. ICE need to be obstructed every step of the way. Goods, services, friendships, relationships - everything needs to be withheld. Name and shame. People only have as much authority as we let them have (but that part's difficult given that they're armed).

There needs to be some kind of safety net, so people feel comfortable potentially risking their jobs by resisting. We should all chip in and gather funds.

State and local police should step up and arrest every single one of them. Fuck "jurisdiction". They don't give a shit about the rules, so why should we? "Federal" should no longer mean anything. They've forfeited their authority.

Any cooperation with and money transfers to the federal government need to stop. Make their jobs as difficult as possible.

There's strength in numbers. States with sane governments need to band together and resist. MAGA can't fight back on all fronts. (...can they?)

If (when...?) Trump moves on Greenland, the US military needs to be crippled: Host nations need to shut down their bases. Cut off power, blockade the entrances, make airspace exit only, something. (I'm aware this one's wild, but an invasion of Greenland would be wild, too.)

Also, I'm wondering where all the second amendment fetishists are. In my opinion, what's happening right now is precisely why the amendment exists.

I'm aware all of this is much easier said than done, especially from across the Atlantic, like I'm doing. But given that I have a lot of family in the US, this shit is pissing me the fuck off and I had the urge to vent.
