Didn't they claim they caught the leader of antifa a month or 2 ago and it was like some random college kid?
Tr*mp is consolidating his power, and no one will be more surprised than Republicans in DC are, when they're being marched to the noose.
Sorry, who was threatening the destruction of an entire civilization to satisfy his political goals not even a whole week ago again? I wasnt paying any attention to this matter
And by "far left," they mean anyone who's not a fascist.
Anybody who isn't adamantly pro-capitalist.
Weird how much those groups overlap huh?
I'm pretty sure they would also lock up someone who is pro-capitalist but anti-stock market as well.
Hey, they also mean the democrats in office. So more anyone left of Mike Johnson? No that still catches other republicans.
Anyone who doesn't kiss the ring
Western governments must combat “antifa and far-left terrorism,” Ms. Jacobsen’s prepared remarks asserted, casting the effort as an evolution in counterterrorism following the “global war on terror.” Her prepared speech defined far-left terrorism to include threats from communists, Marxists, anarchists, anticapitalists and those with “eco-extremist” and “other self-identified antifascist ideologies.”
Lol, welcome to Lemmy.
Seriously though, they would totally come for Lemmy.
There is 0 chance they arent here and we arent already on a list.

So freedom, getting along and being open and kind is the enemy now. Got it.
Delusional as fuck pedophile pieces of shits. They're the only present threat to humanity... holy fucking shit!
Donald Trump is a pussy ass motherfucker, weak old decrepit piece of shit.
What far left groups? Vegan potluck groups?
This refers to all political dissidents - it does not matter whether they are organizations, political movements, or individuals. What they have in common is that they draw attention to the regime’s crimes and advocate for consequences or even criminal prosecution.
This is enough for autocratic regimes to declare them enemies of the state, allowing them to persecute them completely arbitrarily, since they view the state solely as a tool for carrying out their own crimes. Anyone who stands in the way is an enemy and will be mercilessly persecuted.
As a rule, it is always minorities, intellectuals, journalists, civil rights movements, unions, and such that are targeted first - precisely those whom the regime must silence to prevent the population from rising up.
This is already happening in the U.S., and ICE is the secret police carrying out the “purge” outside the bounds of the rule of law.
The next steps are historically very well documented: for various dictatorships that have emerged throughout history.
The most obvious example is today’s Russia, but the rise of the Third Reich is also a good example of what is happening in the U.S.
The mechanisms have hardly changed: gaining control of the media, infiltrating the legal system, establishing a heavily armed secret police force that spreads terror, eliminating political opponents, and violently suppressing the people, so that resistance means persecution or death.

Arm up regardless. Full face respirators. Riot gear. Baby shampoo. LoRa meshtastic. Drones. Etc
Meshcore is growing rapidly and at this point, is better than meshtastic in most regions
Been thinking about long range drones a lot lately. Great for surveiling surrounding areas, and many other use cases
The "ghost gun" 3D printing laws going around had me thinking about "ghost drones". I think a lot of the NDAA and FAA noise around drones is an attempt to gain control over domestic drone use. They're criminalizing flying a drone within 1km of ICE activities - which is impossible to know or avoid.
But you don't need an expensive flight controller, fancy ESC, or even brushless motors to get your basic drone in the air. An esp32, some mosfets, servos (for a wing), and brushed motors will get the job done. Will it compete in multiGP? Hell no. But it'll fly and it'll cost like $15.
Any chance there's a good resource for how to build one of those ~$15 drones?
i wonder how large a drone would have to be to support a light-weight, but high RPM, 22lr gun? say printed in PA12CF, for instance.
oh good this is when the Dems join forces to unite against a common enemy in both camps. i've read about this kinda thing before somewhere.
