Overview:
The community dedicated to boycotting the US until they stop fascism, restore full democracy and start following international law.
Americans have a moral obligation to resist Donald Trump and project 2025 at every turn.
America is a flawed democracy currently being ruled by oligarchs. Stop the backslide! Dont let America become the next Hungary.
America needs to challenge the court rulings of citizens united v. fec and shelby county v. holder, protect the media, implement independent district drawing, and the single transferable vote so they don't end up having people stay home in life-changing elections because they cannot vote for their favourite candidate.

thanks for the cadence compliment. wth is a qdrop. was listening to music okay
Guess what?
Really hate this kind of annoying online guy
If they want voter information don't they just ask Microsoft? Or Facebook? Or Google/Amazon/Apple? Pretty sure any one of them are more than capable of supplying far more detailed information than a state government.
Pretty sure they don't have everything. And even if they did, what they probably want more than anything is submission. If they can get a state to hand over that kind of highly sensitive information they are sending a signal they can coerce anyone to do anything.
Dictionary definition of terrorism:
(Noun) the unlawful use of violence or threats to intimidate or coerce a civilian population or government, with the goal of furthering political, social, or ideological objectives.
I've just read the letter. Please, let's not spread misinformation, things are bad enough as is.
The letter demanded the voter database, among a couple of other sensitive databases. It never said ICE would leave if they comply. It only promised that peace would return to the streets, whatever the hell that means. I highly doubt they mean withdrawing ICE, especially considering they keep painting them as completely peaceful, and considering they demand a shit ton of cooperation in that letter as well, essentially letting ICE in everywhere. So in fact, it's almost the opposite - they demanded that and also demanded more access for ICE.
They still want to fuck with voting though, which is the gist of the post.
Walz should get a chat box to make up a random list of imaginary voters, print it on a few reams of paper at 5pt type and see if they really leave.
OP doesn't care that they've posted false information. They all but told me so.
I really appreciate it when people want to set the record straight like this, and you're right, the truth is probably worse than this post. But it's not as sensational so people will gravitate to the bullshit tweet instead. Which is the same phenomenon which gave us trump to begin with. 🤦♂️
Thank you for cutting through the rhetoric and making sure things are clear. I would also like to add that there are no parts in the letter saying that ICE will change their operation tactics and procedurdes (e.g. executions).
Thank you for the clarification and suggestion, but this does not constitute misinformation, as I see it. The Orange Turd's camp are characteristically incoherent. You interpret Bondi's incoherence in a different but valid way. What they are communicating they will do if given the voter database is less important than their interest in forcibly obtaining the voter and other databases - and the linkage of this interest with ICE's presence in MN. Please let me know if I'm off the mark here; if this is misinformation and should be removed
I would agree with you. Having an active hand in the next voting process sounds like an easy way to disrupt an election. Not a guarantee, but possible. I think people here should be able to think for themselves a little bit.
You’re right. I’d bet what they mean to say is that peace would return to the streets because they’d get rid of all dissenters.
I think ots a fumbled / heavy handed attempt to portray Waltz as promoting violence.
In the same way that Ukraine could and the Russia conflict by capitulating.
These guys seriously think they are every winning an election Minnesota again? I guess they are betting that they can finish off democracy in it's entirety in the next three years
Swing state?
Minnesota hasn't went for a Republican presidential candidate since 1972.
Minnesota is factually the bluest state in the US
I wonder what the "States Rights" crowd has to say about this...
We have to stop engaging them like ANY of their arguments were ever genuine. These hypocritical fuckers will say anything, then say the exact opposite, because they never meant any of it in the first place.
The psychopaths say whatever they think will get their opposition to behave in the way they want. That's it.
Same thing as the 2A crowd: crickets
The 2A amendment folks only care about gun rights because they're afraid of black people. That's literally their whole motivation.
They can't answer they're out in Minnesota assassinating citizens
Wtf is there a voter database?
voter registry
i.e name, address, party affiliations, etc..., and whether or not they voted (but the vote itself are secret)
You need to be on the list to vote in elections. You get assigned the closest polling place, then you show up, they ask for you name, and they go through the book thing with a list of voters assgined to that polling place, they find your name then check it of before getting someone to set up the voting machine thing for you. For Pennsylvania, they ask for ID for the first time, they mail you a voter registry card which can be used for as that ID. Next time you don't need an ID, the just ask you for a signature on the voter roll.
If you name isn't on the voter roll at the polling station for some reason (like a mistake they made), you can ask for a privisional ballot then they sort it out later. If you were supposed to be on there, then they count the vote, otherwise its discarded.
So once they have this list, they can just go down the list of democrats and raid every house
I hope there's a world where thos matters and they all eat shit and face consequences.
Like, this should be cut and dry.
Oh, and also Trump's latest comments on tariffs on Canada follow the same pattern, first it was"fentenyl", now they've dropped the veneer forgetting that national security arguments were the only argument they had to justify things.
To me that says they're either wildly overconfident or know they've got the supreme court by the balls.
I think fascists see violating boundaries, hypocrisy, and telling lies as signs of power - ie, things to aspire to in their twisted minds. That's dangerous, and not how non-fascists think.
Mainstream traditional and social media have devolved to simply publishing verbatim what the fascists say without offering any kind of context or evaluation of, say, the truthfulness of the statement-now-headline.
I agree with you all around otherwise. I just don't think this behaviour rests on overconfidence or an appraisal of riskiness via the SC. I think it's psychologically must deeper, and recognizing this will help us deal with them better
Of course it's not about immigration. If it were about immigration, they'd be in Texas and Florida. You know, states with large numbers of immigrants. Minnesota has a tiny fraction of the number of immigrants as those states, and it's physically large. Very inefficient use of person-power for actually doing their stated job.
Minnesota ain't no fucking swing state. We've voted Blue in the presidential election longer than any other state.
Don't worry they have 10 more months to fix that
You're right, but Trump thinks he won it in all 3 of his elections. He thinks it would have "swung" toward him if it weren't for the Democrats letting "illegals" vote. I can almost guarantee you that's part of why he is targeting Minnesota.
Well I'm sure he's asking for this documentation in good faith. It's not like he's famously asked for paperwork, received it while literally everyone was watching, and then denied its authenticity. /s
State should send along the voter rolls.
Printed on paper and with first names, last initial, the ward/district they live in and no party affiliation and a few randomly generated code numbers to just fuck things up in the database.. or better yet, send the paper lists with the names redacted with sharpie markers, and leave the party affiliations. use old school printouts that are photocopied (and send those) so no one can hold the paper up to the light to see what's under the redactions..
Deflect and use Trump's own words about the Epsteinn files to justify "..following in President Trump's bold leadership style.."
Time to out Trump the decrepit old fucker.
and a few randomly generated code numbers to just fuck things up in the database
Little Bobby Tables, we call him.
They want the viter rolls to have a list of self-identified ~~enemies~~ voters.
Why are they even asking; can’t “big balls” just lift them?
As a non American I have to ask: What the hell is a voter database? :o
Aussie here, it sounds similar to our Electoral Roll.
You show up, they tick your name off (we have compulsory voting), give you the ballots and you vote anonymously and / or draw penises, drop it in the box, waltz off in search of sausages.
