But the DOJ has pretty much unlimited resources and essentially no penalty for frivolous lawsuits.

No, don't let them have this one. Filming police does not, and never will, make you a terrorist.

You do not have an expectation of privacy in public. This is not doxing. That’s not even what doxing means.

Everything is dumb.

[–] SocialMediaRefugee@lemmy.world 10 points 9 hours ago

You assume this administration gives a shit about reason and rules.

[–] Buffalox@lemmy.world 81 points 17 hours ago (9 children)

That's straight up USA becoming a totalitarian state.
How does the American population keep accepting this development without doing anything about it?

[–] A_norny_mousse@feddit.org 40 points 17 hours ago (16 children)

They don't accept it. Many do something.

The revolution will not be televised.

OPSEC is a thing.

Thank you for your concern, but you should probably focus on efforts in your country to move towards this kind of system.

It doesn't matter where you are in the world right now, there are efforts being made to bring fascism there.

[–] Buffalox@lemmy.world 7 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago) (1 children)

It doesn’t matter where you are in the world right now, there are efforts being made to bring fascism there.

Oh yes, that threat is becoming more and more real, but the propaganda is originating from Russia and succeeded in USA, and USA is where it needs to be stopped, because it can still be stopped by democratic means. And because it is the American efforts that are more likely to succeed in EU.
But we should absolutely do to Russia what they've been doing to EU, UK, USA to amputate the west and NATO. But hopefully the sanctions from Ukraine on Russia will be working soon. So the Russian federation will collapse like the Soviet Union did.

I don't think The Trump and his gang of trillionaires will succeed in EU, but you are 100% right that we need to be careful.
But it would be sad if we lose USA entirely to this Russian bullshit, and it's weird why so many of the richest people in USA are so willing to give up their own country?
Trump, Vance, Thiel, Musk, Ellis, Zuckerberg are all literally traitors to USA, humanity, democracy and decency.
I would love to see the American population take them all down.

But it would be sad if we lose USA entirely to this Russian bullshit

From the bottom of my heart: Thank you.

So many people are viewing this crisis from afar as some sort of sardonic entertainment, even cheering for the whole country to go down along with everyone in it, because of what one incredibly loud and rich minority is doing to the country and her neighbors.

They don't understand what that would do to a lot of damn good and decent people, and that attitude isn't helping anything. They don't understand threats just like this one are testing the fences in their very own backyard, looking for a single weakness to throw all their fundamental institutions into disarray.

We are still trying to stop this as reasonably as we can. We're still trying to pressure our remaining sane lawmakers to do the right thing. We're still pushing back while struggling to pay our friggin bills because, as it turns out, "full-time revolutionary" is a very limited-opportunity career path.

We're trying to do this cleverly and safely, because if the excuse to enact "martial law" hits, we're all in very real danger of state violence where nobody will be able to speak up ever again.

A lot needs to change, and it needs to change drastically, but just because we aren't sandbagging at the Capitol doesn't mean we aren't fighting.

Thank you for at least understanding and feeling the loss of what this is doing to very real, very good people. I appreciate you dearly.

Personally if there was something I alone could do to end this that doesn’t:

  1. Place my family in danger
  2. Require I die
  3. Has 100% chance of success

I’d be all-in in a heartbeat. The problem is each of my requirements has risk that fluctuates, and all three of them have never been worth-it enough at the same time.

Americans, like Russians, have been trained to be indifferent to politics and not get involved. It's the result of decades of government not serving the people and showing them that their only power is to bring trouble upon themselves.

Prosecute Flock for every camera that ever recorded ICE activity, even just a vehicle driving on the highway.

[–] WoodScientist@lemmy.world 36 points 12 hours ago

Create an app that takes Flock's incredible poorly secured data and uses it to track and publicly broadcast 24/7 the location of every ICE and federal law enforcement agent you can.

Terrorism has always been a convenient label for "official enemies".

[–] n0respect@lemmy.world 28 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago) (1 children)

I knew this was gonna happen. "terrorism" being defined as "violence and intimidation for political means" .... the authorities claiming that recording them is not only intimidation, but that intimidation is de facto the threat of violence!

"Speech is violence" is what they claim, which equates to political speech = terrorism.

It's for this reason I believe "terrorism" in and of itself shouldn't be a crime. But I digress.

[FTA} the Justice Department encourages federal prosecutors to press "domestic terrorism" charges against people for "doxing" law enforcement officers. [...] which the Justice Department insinuates is a threatening activity used to "silence opposing speech, limit political activity, change or direct policy outcomes, and prevent the functioning of a democratic society."

[–] Cosmonauticus@lemmy.world 12 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

I saw this coming whenever they claimed terrorists were unlawful enemy combatants back in the early 2000s

“Don’t you see that the whole aim of Newspeak is to narrow the range of thought? In the end we shall make thoughtcrime literally impossible, because there will be no words in which to express it.”

So, filming domestic terrorism is now domestic terrorism?

War is peace.

Freedom is slavery.

Ignorance is strength.

This amounts to lowering the bar for those willing to say "if I'm going to be a terrorist then fuck it" and start shooting. It's irresponsible and dangerous.

And being anti fascist is terrorism now too, hmm I'm beginning to think being a "terrorist" these days is pretty cool

Good luck with that. I hope I get called to jury duty for one of those cases.

How optimistic of you, to think there will be a trial. Those camps are ultimately for us all.

Since we're renaming departments, maybe they should change the name to the Injustice Department, or the Department of Capricious Punishment or something more fitting.

[–] DeathByBigSad@sh.itjust.works 8 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago)

Wait what, I never knew CPAC is filming immigration raids.

(Cuz CPAC said they're all domestic terrorists)
