Republican Party's HQ set ablaze, tagged with "ICE=KKK" in New Mexico

Masked thugs kidnapping people, including PhD students, off the street and into unmarked vehicles.

Yeah, I'd say ICE has some things in common with the KKK.

Also, the burned look works well on that building.

A reminder to people who call this an act of violence, it isn't. Violence can only be committed against living things. This is arson which is a type of vandalism. If there are people or animals inside, then it's violence. If only property is damaged it's vandalism or sabotage, depending on the purpose of the damage.

I find it hard to believe anyone would actually equate ICE with the KKK when the only thing they really have in common is racism. They're much more equatable to the Gestapo and KGB

Finally lighting fire to the right things...

The reason why the fascists want you to protest peacefully, is because it makes it easier for them to ignore you.

Get fucked Nazis. What goes around comes around. This shit will only get worse.

GOP = Nazis

what do you call a nazi hq set on fire?

a good start.

Weird, sometimes Republican headquarters just do that.

This is clearly insurance fraud. We all know the GOP are nazis.

Thoughts and Prayers, etc.

Let us not forget: it was the Democrat Party that once supported the formation of the KKK, pushed Jim Crow laws, and defended slavery

They like to conveniently forget that the parties had a flip. So yes, while the democrats IN NAME pushed all that abhorrent ideals, those democrats are the Republicans today.

I wonder if someone parked a Tesla next to the HQ. They seem to have a habit of spontaneously combusting.

And I was just thinking I never really hear much about things in New Mexico. Good job guys!

Probably just God making it spontaneously combust.

Now they are fighting ICEIS

reading the last quote in that article i'm 75% convinced it was an inside job to create a scare tactic to brainwash more republicans. talking about democrats from the 1860s in INSANE

Will be interesting to see how they handle whoever did this considering the guy who shot up the democratic offices in az and had 100000 rounds a machine gun and a grenade launcher got out on bond to await trial… I have my doubts they will be treated similarly

I was in a Portal, Arizona recently, which is a pretty rural area. On the radio a public service type advertisement came on explaining your rights if you get arrested by or encounter ICE. It felt like something from a movie.

Whoever did it, no they didn't, we were playing CIV 5 together at that time

Make fascists fear for their lives.

Keep in mind that on average over the last century, nonviolent resistance is more likely to succeed than violent resistance (East Timor, People's Power Revolution in the Philippines, etc.). It's all a numbers game- the more people actively supporting resistance, the more likely the resistance is to succeed, and you'll have far more sign-ups when you prioritize nonviolent methods.

(Can't exactly say that I condemn this, but I'll take democracy over revenge/"justice" any day of the week)

Local Nazi HQ happened to be set on fire. Anyway have a good week.

Based on Jan6; sounds like the perps just earned pardons!

GOP=KKK

Oh no!

Anyways...

I’m thinking this was a false flag attack

Doesn't look like anything to me.

Nature is healing.

This could be a Reichstag Fire moment. It’s near the border and gives Trump precedent to strengthen operations there.

The Republican Party is the Nazi party in America.

Nice.

That's ridiculous!!

ICE is clearly the American Gestapo.

now we are talking

I love republican party HQ's they so flammable and quirky <3

I'm pleasantly surprised at the levelheaded reporting. It's strikingly neutral, to the point where the Republican quote sounds like a shrill shreak in a sea of reasonableness.

There's no call for perpetrators being hunted down, no death threats, it's all very civil.

They are more akin to Gestapo while MAGA as a whole is KKK, but we shouldn't nitpick

👊🇺🇸🔥

“We will not allow New Mexico's broken criminal justice system to dilute the seriousness of this attack."

Sounds like they are declaring extrajudicial punishment for whoever they deem guilty.

Oh no. Anyway...

Good. I hope it happens to more of them.

Thoughts and prayers

Pay attention everyone, the reason this hasn't happened more often is because Trump will use acts like this to fuel anger in his base. Then he will use that anger to destroy lives and eradicate laws that stand in the way of his cruelty and goals.

It was probably started by someone's cybertruck.

That (R) statement is about what I'd expect from them. Hyperbole and fearmongering.

Colorado sees you, New Mexico.

real unfortunate no one was harmed.

Gender reveal parties really starting to get unique here....oh well whoopsie!

In definently not upset

hi fbi

Farts and bears.

First “resisters” I’ve had respect for

They'll either keep it quite or make a huge investigation and issue out of this.

👍

More of that please.

More please.

Sounds like its only a problem if you are a fascists.

That's nice but protect the teslas at all costs /s

lol. lmao even.

Melt the ICE!

What's lemmy.world's policy going to be on this one

Spontaneous Nazi Combustion
