Useful tips to alert others of fascist harassment, making people disappear [View all]

I am Minneapolis adjacent. When the cops murdered George Floyd, activists* in the area set up a system to respond to heinous cop and shitty white guy behavior.

Present day 2025, with the gestapo antics of ICE against immigrants** in Nazi America, the activists suggested using the following approach to alert decent humans to the horrible behavior of fascists in America.

ALERTA

Activity: Describe what's going on (with ICE, with the white supremacists)


Location: Be precise with street name, house #, Block, street intersection, business name.

Equipment: What vehicles are present. Are there weapons?

Response Requested: What do you want the people you are alerting to do? Come watch the cops. Film the SOBs.

Time and Date: Be specific and stamp with time and date. Tracks up-to-the-minute activity

Appearance: What uniforms are the proud boys wearing, how many of the klan are there. Who are they interrogating, messing with.

**First they came for the immigrants. Who they coming for next?

ON EDIT: They're coming for us all. https://www.democraticunderground.com/10143379974

Mayor Ras Baraka said in a statement that Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents detained multiple people, including United States citizens, a U.S. military veteran and undocumented individuals. According to Baraka, the agents did not produce a warrant.
