Why would their names need to be secret? Aren't they public officials? Surely Marriott isn't admitting that they are secret police? Right?

[–] empireOfLove2@lemmy.dbzer0.com 82 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Marriott is owned by the Mormon church. I'll let you fill in the rest of the blanks.

[–] The_v@lemmy.world 50 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Marriott isn't owned by the Mormon church. The owners are Mormon who follow the church leaders.

See it's different.

I'll stop by and talk to David Marriott next chance I see him. I haven't seen him in almost 30 years when he gave me a ride from the Manchester UK Airport

He was an asshat driver through. 1 star.

hasnt marriot been hosting detainees of immigrants before, they are complicit.

[–] anomnom@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 weeks ago

That doesn’t sound complicit, that sounds participatory, or since it’s kidnapping, conspiratorial.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 193 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

Why is "doxxing" even a thing when we are talking about supposed public officials?

Aren't we paying for these motherfuckers? Why do they get to remain anonymous while they walk around kidnapping and murdering Americans?

[–] Thedogdrinkscoffee@lemmy.ca 51 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

supposed public officials?

An overly generous moniker. Call them by their real names. Brownshirts, fascist pigs, gestapo. Public official doesn't capture their nature or function.

Why do they get to remain anonymous while they walk around kidnapping and murdering Americans?

Because they are the criminal thug caste of the criminal gang that seized power illegally in your country. Your military is breaking their oath to defend the constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic.

You now live in a gangster's paradise. A shithole country. A no go zone.

These psychos used to get irrationally pissed off at people wearing masks, who were only trying to protect themselves and others from a deadly disease, but they don't say a word about these Jackals wearing masks to abuse their fellow citizens.

"Doxxing ICE officers and agents puts them and their families at enormous risk,"

Uhh yeah, thats the point you dingus.

[–] matlag@sh.itjust.works 21 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

It's funny how doxxing a firefighter or a nurse would not put them and their families at enormous risk. Someone should study that…

In all honesty then nearly every human deserves it more than that orange child rapist.

A drunk driver who killed a person with their car has caused less death and devastation than the bungling orange sicko.

[–] scala@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Ironically, the orange felon-rapist, starting and fueling Wars all over the globe. Peace prize 🙄

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

And he changed the name from Department of Defense to Department of War. Hardly the message that a Peace Prize candidate wants to send.

It's not possible to "doxx" ICE agents. They are not secret agents, they are people who we the taxpayers paid for and their names are either public record or if they are not public record really ought to be.

We do not discriminate against any individuals or agencies... We are committed to welcoming all guests.

Even murderous secret police of a fascist state? That seems pretty high up on the list of people you should "discriminate against."

Back in the day the Gestapo were not scared to show their faces. Where is ICE's american white pride? /s

[–] Voroxpete@sh.itjust.works 26 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

OK, but in all seriousness...

This is, genuinely, the difference between what's happening in America today, and what happened in Nazi Germany.

There is, absolutely and without question, a fascist takeover of the US government in progress. But unlike what happened in Germany, that takeover is not popular. The fact that ICE have to hide their faces - the fact that they're ashamed or afraid to be known for what they're doing - is huge.

While there were obviously many Germans who did resist the Nazis, on the whole the party was immensely popular. They were tapping into feelings that were borne - or at least accepted - by most of the populace.

There's a great recent video by American historian Heather Cox Richardson where she and Joanne Freeman talk about how this is basically the last chance for Trump's admin to truly seize power. That's terrifying - because they really might do it - but it also reflects a very real opportunity. They can be stopped, and the tide is very rapidly turning against them. Renee Good's murder, in particular, has galvanized the country against ICE, and by extension Trump. It sucks that it took the murder of a white woman for Americans to give a shit, but they are giving a shit and that's what matters for now.

Trump's goons are scared. That should tell every decent American that now is truly the time to push back harder than you ever have before.

[–] cattywampas@lemmy.world 9 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Authoritarians always crack down harder when they're losing their grip. That's what we're seeing now. Keep your feet on their necks, get out there, organize, vote, and we will win this!

[–] Voroxpete@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

organize, vote,

A lot of people are going to get upset at you for including "vote" here, but you're absolutely correct, and those people really need to understand that these are not mutually exclusive imperatives.

[–] cattywampas@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

That's because they have a doom kink, are addicted to losing, and desperately want to surrender the issue before it's even come up.

Wasn't the height of Nazi popularity (at least vote wise) something like 30%? They got a plurality of the vote and steamrolled from there because of how the Wiemar Republic system worked but they weren't the majority, at least until it was actively detrimental to not be part of the party.

If that's some remnant of Clean Wehrmacht or similar mythology bouncing around in my head I apologize.

It's also just a very different environment. It was very cumbersome to take a picture in the 1930s. Now we have movie theater quality video with stereo audio disseminated worldwide within minutes of a thing happening, if it's not live.

The privacy and safety of our guests is of the utmost importance to us.

Obviously except if one of their guest has a brown skin, in which case hosting ICE is actively putting them in danger.

One should ask them if ICE would be allowed to arrest guests on their premises.

[–] NotMyOldRedditName@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

They'll say yes obviously, but of all the potential grounds to disallowing them it'd be pretty hard to argue that one.

Staff: are you going to potentially arrest guests here?

ICE: maybe, what's it to you?

Staff: we can't have you staying here if you're going to disrupt our guests or operations. Sorry but you can't stay here.

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 26 points 2 weeks ago

Sounds like an opportunity to find better employment with an employer that doesn't support fascism and the continued abuse of our Constitutional rights.

Open up a GoFundMe to cover your costs of living while job hunting.

Well damn - I was looking to book a hotel at a location I’ve historically booked with Hilton. But since they’re out now, Marriott properties were on the short list but I guess they’re out now too.

Is this going to end up being one of those situations where all the players in the market are awful?

[–] andros_rex@lemmy.world 11 points 2 weeks ago

I wonder what Hilton Corporate (at (972) 383-1400, option 3) would think of your comment.

Don’t start at a Marriott. Every time I read an article about ICE, they are staying at a Marriott.

Or just go to your local Marriott and play trumpets at 3 am to be safe. You never know.

[–] NotMyOldRedditName@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

Better if you can play a song you know Trump/MAGA/ICE hate.

They are not “guests” they are terrorists and nazis who are there to harm and kill. Fuck Marriott for harboring, aiding, and abetting violent criminals.

[–] anon_8675309@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago

Come on people, there are ways to get that info out there without outing yourself also.

Be careful.

[–] mechoman444@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

The easiest thing in the world is not to shoot someone.

The modern firearm is only a few hundred years old. Humanity, even limiting ourselves to written history, spans roughly 8,000 years.

Shooting someone is therefore either deliberate, or the result of deliberate negligence.
