Gestapo at work.
Sounds like there’s a market for edible ink that can write on a stick of gum.
Little tip, put the duress pin as your birth date. Because that’s the first thing that a law enforcement officer might try. Then the phone deletes itself and they can’t claim that you did it because they were the ones to enter it, unprompted.
Wow I didn’t think my passcode was that transparent. But it’s in European formatting so I guess I have to trust that cops won’t know what’s smaller, a day or a month.
How do i configure a duress pin on android? Is it a native feature or do i need an app? Using lineage os btw
Ideally it should silently delete just some pre-selected things. If we are coerced into giving the pin away, then the phone resetting itself would invite some retaliation. If it just silently deletes the data of a notes app, it would probably go unnoticed.
You can set the duress pin by going to Settings/Security and privacy/Device unlock/Duress password.Got GrapheneOS installed. I don’t know about the rest though.
I just checked here. Its not present in mine (lineage os 23).

It is a native feature of GrapheneOS. It is one of many privacy friendly features in GrapheneOS.
When I think about how Google could relatively inexpensively back-port those features into Android, and how they have not done so… it makes me feel uncomfortable with how long I trusted Google with most of my digital identity.
Edit: I’m not aware of another good way to set a duress pin. When I search for “Android duress pin” all I find, at the moment, are links to GrapheneOS.
Yeah, it wouldnt be hard for then to add these security features. I dont know whats stopping them.
I found some apps that add this duress pin in droid-ify and f-droid. But i havent tested any yet. One is called Duress, an other is AlternativeUnlockXposed. Both seem to aim at more or less the same. But AlternativeUnlockXposed looks more interesting as it makes the duress pin unlock the screen and it silently runs a preconfigured command to erase something.
That last Nazi collaborator . . . I am not an angry or violent person, but oh boy I cannot be held responsible for how I might react.
Which is why bullies won’t say that around you; they’ll just say it around a teacher who’s trying to protect that student.
It’s like when they held a child hostage to get his parents out of the house. Colored kids are subhuman bargaining chips to them.
Maybe I’m too stupid to understand this but how exactly would ICE know which white person to follow? Even if 1% (ridiculously high) of white people were doing this, they would still have to filter them out of the other 99% of white people.
Why would you need to use GPS to deliver food to a house that your friend lives in? How would a piece of paper help you find your “friend’s house” that you don’t know without the GPS? Why does your friend not just use a grocery delivery service?
To me this story sounds completely far fetched.
Why does your friend not just use a grocery delivery service?
I think it’s pretty easy to draw connections among “unable to leave house in fear,” “unable to work,” and “unable to afford food/grocery delivery services.”
Also, digital fingerprinting would easily identify individuals who would not deliver groceries to their immigrant neighbors. Pick out the more vocal members of the remaining people, find which ones are active in community social media groups, and you have a list of people that is much smaller than just “white people.”
I like your user name for this comment. It’s a fair assessment though. The problem is we would not have had street executions on our bingo cards for the last 6 mos either. Street executions without the Floyd reactivity even. Or, at least, the utter lack of reporting on it.
Per MN posts on Substack, ICE is camping the street where they killed the nurse. My guess, to prevent a show of support with a memento memorial pileup of items and such.
For this, it’s within the realm of possibility, and given how little is being reported on some benefit of the doubt will be extended. Shit is falling off the rails over here. There’s no security. No real governance. Just a lot of poor people with no health insurance moving on inertia and denial while a small amount of others try to push back from the streets. Meanwhile, 1/3 of us cheer for or make excuses for it.
Okay but still - imagine you are an ICE agent. Why would you waste your time and effort having to handle and filter the hundreds of thousands of white people on the incredibly low chance of grabbing someone, when you can just go where you know there will be undocumented people? There is no shortage of illegal farm hands, maids, restaurant workers, etc., you would be able to go directly where you expect them far more easily than a 0.01% chance of finding someone on a grocery run to a mexican family.
How much of this is actually about immigration?
That is the question that needs parsing out first. Why care about kids in frog suits sitting in a street, in relatively small numbers, outside of an ICE admin center in Portland? Why Minneapolis? Why not Springfield Ohio where they’re supposedly “eating the cats and dogs?” Let’s check out some 2020 census data.
Dearborn Michigan (Detroit suburb) has a 54% population of middle eastern and North African ancestry. Detroit itself is 9.5% white. Or, a 90.5% population potential of harassing non white people and/or non white immigrants. Or of maybe finding actual illegals based on community movement factors.
Milwaukee WI is 37.8% black, 20.1% Latino, and 5.2% Asian. Or, a 63% population potential of harassing non white people and/or non white immigrants. Philadelphia is 38.3% black, 14.9% Latino, and 8.3% Asian. Or, a 61.5% population potential of harassing non white people and/or non white immigrants. Or, again, of rooting out potential illegals based on community movement factors.
Meanwhile, Minneapolis is 18.9% black, 10% Latino, 5.8% Asian. Or, a 34.7% population potential of harassing non white people and/or non white immigrants.
But, what’s the difference? Voting and politics. Minnesota is bluer than blue. Minnesota even stayed blue as a lone holdout during the Reagan years. Meanwhile, WI, MI, OH, and PA are all swing states. They’re not 100% done with the voting quite yet. Good odds that’s why they’re not in Detroit or some such instead.
If this was about immigration or rooting out illegals they would have never been concentrating in Minneapolis to begin with. Never mind the part regarding Walz daring to run agains Cluster B Personality personified: Trump. Of note, Cluster B requires a nemesis to work against, it’s part of the personality disorder sets.
You’re attempting to argue logical immigration enforcement where none exists.
While dragging off nonwhite people is a piece of the action that is indeed taking place, this is a multifaceted, intentional endeavor that is never not highly political regarding “enemies” of the present administration.
ETA: also consider the hires. If they were good players with solid backgrounds their faces wouldn’t be hidden. You are also assuming the agents themselves are personally functioning on logical immigration enforcement.
Take a deep dive into conservative social media. It’s a lot of meme sharing about how “we are done with you”, “we are not the same”, “talk is over”, “purging the non American leftists”, and such. Imbue that mentality into the present ICE hires and the behaviors make more sense.
This is genuinely unsettling. Whatever people’s views are, no one should feel afraid just trying to help a neighbor or go about daily life. Empathy and basic humanity shouldn’t be controversial.
I keep a small notepad and pen to write things down if I see something interesting or if I need to note something. Much more private than taking a photo or writing it on my phone 's notepad software.
Or… just leave the paper with the groceries?
Keep a 2nd note in the grocery bag with the address of the police station, or an abandoned building, or a non-existent address as far away as possible while sounding legit, or… Just have them going in circles!
But then ICE would read the destination address off the paper and know where the intended recipients are hiding.
I think you’ve completely missed the point. You’re supposed to eat the paper if you are stopped end route to deliver the groceries.
I did miss the point.

How are we supposed to live side by side with these people?
The correct answer is to give the law teeth when it comes to abuse of authority, hate, racism, and all the other mechanisms that enable radical-right propaganda and power structures. They can keep on having garbage opinions about people “not like me”, but actually following through with punching down on others needs to be severely discouraged. The rest should follow once sane ideas are given the proper room to breathe.
The law has teeth, in the protection of ruling class, not subjects. The subjects are being deathcamped.
@iopq@lemmy.world what are we going to do with all this spam?
How does one even deal with that
They can keep on having garbage opinions about people “not like me”
Why? Nazi propaganda should be censored and severely punished, including real prison sentences for more serious offenses like actively producing or knowingly publishing it. Otherwise you end up with what we have now.
they say when something is forbidden, it makes it more desirable. it must have value of some sort if someone doesn’t want you to have it (i’m just explaining, not defending)
plus, if someone is open about their beliefs… you know who to keep an eye on. if someone only talks about it in private…
but again, still just explaining, not defending… banning it completely could make it harder to spread. idk. i’m tired and it baffles me that so many people actually agree with these terrible ideas and we live in a world where we even need to be having this discussion.
People’s opinions are measurably linked to the opinions of their (perceived) peer group. Conservatives were not born evil, they become evil after hearing evil bullshit from everyone and everything around them. That’s why “brainwashing” in the form of repeating the same lie over and over from various sources works so well in convincing people it’s the truth. Ban it, punish the liars, and the influence is reduced significantly. Invest in better education for the general population, specifically around critical thinking and media literacy (ideally something based on dialectical/historical materialism, which seems to be the best philosophical framework for understanding social realities) & historical education about dangers of fascism and capitalism, and the society gets a good anti-fascist vaccine for a couple generations at least.
The question that should have been asked and answered when your first Civil War ended: you can’t. They have forfeit their right to live in America by being traitors to its constitution. Maybe after this second one, if the Left somehow wins, they’ll learn from that mistake and get rid of the remaining Right by whatever means are convenient.
What, like put them in concentration camps?
Traitors are executed
funny how we can find a way to hang an insurrectionist when he’s an abolitionist, but we can’t when he’s head of the imperial project
Re-education camps are what China uses. Maybe you can understand why they do that now. The alternative is to just kill them.
Unless those on the attacking side (MAGA) decide they don’t want to murder more of us, I’m not sure we can. The first civil war was incredibly bloody and tensions between the sides never settled down fully. We are in this situation partly because there is no way to have a compromise with people that believe some of our society’s members aren’t human. The white supremacist view of slave owners and supporters of slavery never went away, it needs to be cut out from the root.
There are credible reports from ICE observers in cars being lead to their own houses. To be more clear, ICE is cars being observed as is one’s constitutionally protected right, are driving to the homes of the cars observing them. This is intended to let the observers know that ICE knows who they are.
It does seem like a bad idea to let the general public determine a location for ICE to drive to in a way that will highlight which car is full of ICE agents, but that is just me.
Well normally when you have a car full of dangerous felons following you, the best place to drive to is the police station but it’s 2026 and here we are…
I think it still might be the safest. Drive right through the front door. The local police are going to want to indict you, you did damage to city property and they have to answer to the city. The clusterfuck that is created if the guilty party is disappeared will be avoided at all costs.
In this case, the dangerous felons are being followed, but otherwise, yet.
Now I’m fairly sleep deprived at the moment so it could just be me, but I can’t parse your first paragraph at all, especially the second sentence.
A couple key typos i think
I think hes saying ice notices a civilain tailing them, pulls their info, then drives to the tail’s adress, with the civilian observer still following, letting them know that the agents know who they are and can get to them any time, as a threat.
Perfect, thank you!
think hes saying ice notices a civilain ta ICE is a civilian org, just like the police. They’d have much clearer more restrictions otherwise.
National guard, for instance, is actual military, and has a LOT of rules for deployment.
I will break it down differently.
ICE agents are in cars, and the cars are traveling.
First Amendment Observers are following the cars with ICE agents.
The ICE agents are looking up the owner of the car that is following them.
The cars with ICE agents are driving to the homes of the observers, and pausing outside.
ICE agents are attempting to intimidate the observers by demonstrating that they know where the observers live.
wait how to put it in GPS?
The address you’re dropping it to
I still do not understand. GPS is global positioning system, a satellite location service, right? you can read your location from it, how can anyone put something in it?
They mean don’t put the address into the maps app on your phone or store it on your phone on any way. Stop being pedantic.
GPS apps, GPS head units. We’re talking SatNav here, not the literal service that is GPS.
Time to bring back the proud American tradition of shooting Nazis.
Only if the war is almost over. So don’t hold your breath
And then what?
Trump wants ICE agents to get killed. Then he can declare martial law
yeah, then or at any other random event that they choose or manufacture
it is inevitable
They’re probably going to declare martial law anyways. What are you going to do then, listen to them? They want a civil war and societal breakdown. This is their end goal, its obvious. What they don’t realize is not every state is going to listen, and there is over half of the country who despises them. This is going to devolve into a civil war one way or another, and it makes me sad.
There is no reason it needs to be this way, but you can only push people so far before they fight back.
I have no idea what the spark is going to be, but its coming. It’s not normal for states to threaten to quit paying taxes, and for a state to activate the national guard to deal with federal goons.
They already have their civil war. I’ve seen Minneapolis
No they don’t. Protesting isn’t a civil war. You clearly haven’t actually experienced a civil war before. It’s not fun, and nobody wins.
this is how civil wars start, dishpit. people being murdered and disappeared. you clearly haven’t actually experienced it before. it’s not fun and nobody wins.
I have no idea what the spark is going to be, but its coming.
Historically there will be a false flag attack on some important military or government structure. Trump will blame liberals, despite it being obvious shortly afterwards that they bombed themselves intentionally.
Thats why immediately after 9/11 there were conspiracys that “Bush planned 9/11”. Not saying I agree with that, but I understand where the idea comes from. It’s an old tactic that goes all the way back to at least Ghengis Khan.
It’s even happened in American history. Blame the Maine on Spain.
So, maybe expect a military base, or the statue of liberty to be bombed. And then trump will say he needs full military in the streets. He doesn’t, but he’ll say that, and he’ll get it.
The only question is, as the Army marches through the streets, will they be goose stepping?
Or it could be the economy tanking,a particularly bad winter storm or other natural disaster, another epidemic/pandemic, a complicit billionaire caught on a hot mic doing something dumb with the world watching, another inflamed and unstable right winger takes another run at Trump for some unhinged reason.
We’re in such a precarious position right now that we’re ready to burst at one of our many weak seams.
Then what? do it. Fuck it. What is the fucking plan? What’s the play after that like really? Let’s see what happens. Are we going to get paramilitary troops killing us in the street? Lol
Marital law == dictatorship. As far as I have read, that’s the plan, then there will be no more elections and he can use the military for anything he can dream up. He’s very worried about the midterm elections. Many signs are predicting the end of the republican majority in both sides of congress.
There is another way that does not involve violence, but it’ll require a coalition. Several states will need to band together and withhold funding.
That typo is so funny lmao. Marital Law == dictatorship 😂😂😂
ICE pretty much has all the employees it ever will. Even with the inflated budget they’re having trouble recruiting gestapo. They’re concentrating their efforts in Minneapolis because they don’t have the resources to do it anywhere bigger, much less everywhere at once.
So they’re all-in trying to get violent kickback so they can justify the Insurrection Act, because that will allow them to deploy troops, which the courts keep blocking.
I would prefer the bat method. They should feel it.
I think Adam Sandler was offered that role.
Why not both. Mess them up, then mess up the floor with their brain matter. It’ll be small mess, we all know there’s nothing between their ears
Glad you included a picture. Based on text, I thought you were suggesting we get Batman.
Did he ever join the war effort in the old comics like superman did?
He did more selling bonds than direct combat that I know of. But yeah, Batman got in on it. World’s Greatest Comics #9 cover has him throwing baseballs at their faces for example
This is a perfect example of why privacy and security in smartphones is so incredibly important. Delivering food to your neighbors is not illegal and you shouldn’t be followed because you put a Mexican person’s address into Google Maps or your notes. Absolute insanity.
Walking some home with their consent (or consent of their guardian) is not a crime.
Following someone home is stalking.
When it’s related to groceries it’s actually called a steak-out.
