Can you do something about it? Because if you can't, Trump won't care about whether you "accept" it at all. As far as he's concerned, he'll just stuff your ass into the first plane heading out to whatever 3rd world country he struck a deal with. The rest is your problem.

'We Will Not Accept This Intimidation,' Mamdani Says of Trump Threat to Arrest Him
(www.commondreams.org)
This isn't Central America, if a political opponent is rendered. There will be hell to pay insane amount of general strikes and protests
Kinda. LA is already on edge. Piss off New York, I dare him.
You're kidding right. That won't happen. I.wish people will rise up but so far nothing.
Edit: Keep in mind that most of us can't afford to strike. And now with Trump big ugly bill, even less people will be able to afford to resist. At least peacefully.
I'm not, the point of a general strike is literally because we can't afford it. We do it anyways to keep the billionaires in check
People need to form Left Wing Militias NOW. The foundations of a armed fascist resistance movement/insurgency can't be put off till the last minute. Armed protection squads for Zohran would probably be good too.
In the US? Lol right.
Not if you simply pick up a gun and shoot those fuckers. There are zero human beings immune to death by bullets, and the ones wearing armor don't have bulletproof faces either.
Exactly.
FYI those masks are actually likely to kill the person wearing them, they spool like early Soviet T-34s or collapse like a soda can. Basically if you are shooting at someone wearing one of these ballistic masks aim for the face it's easier than shooting through their body armor.
Note there are semi effective ballistic masks it's just that they tend to be one time use due to practical reasons and they sure as shit ain't these ones.
It's going to be hard for future historians to write about our times because there will just be too many sources.
"History is written by the victors"
I still learn things about WW2 about how fucked the whole thing really was.
Honestly, if ICE just showed up and kidnapped him off the street and "deported" him to some shithole country....what would anyone really do?
I think this would actually trigger real rioting and violence. And that would give the Trump the veneer of legality he needs for Republican support to enact martial law. And that would trigger more rioting and violence spreading beyond NY. It would be a catastrophically stupid move on Trump's part. So probably by end of the month.
Let's make that snowball into a revolution.
Balkanization first, I want to know if the Great plains will devolve into city states like I suspect. Also it'll be easier to cement reforms without the fustercluck that is the feds being present.
Take inspiration from Luigi.
Blue shells for the blue bloods!
So I'm mixed on this. For one, I know it'd be a horribly bad thing if they do do this. It'd be blatantly the wrong thing to do. However, I think we need something to push people over the edge to make them force real change. If the Trump adm. does this, that would have to be a step too far for almost everyone, right? It could actually put us on the path to fixing things.
Obviously, I don't want them to do this, but I'm conflicted because I think it could lead us down a (very perilous) path to fix the nation.
We probably also need other states to plan similar implementations as Mamdani so the wealthy don’t simply pull their businesses elsewhere.
Fucking fascist ghouls. Good on Mamdani for not putting up with it, though it's horrifying that this is already a fucking concern.
If I lived in New York I would volunteer to protect him
If the Cheetoh gives you any of his airtime (by disapproval, especially), you have our Recognized Seal of Approval.
Blacklisting by the Giant Pumpkin = Golden Ticket for good people of the future.
Thank you for helping Make the future bright again!
