There are elections every 6 months or so. All that has to flip are 2 or 3 seats and the entire congress flips.
I think we are still trying peaceful protests and hoping upcoming elections will change things. There is little appetite to escalate to violence yet.
It is inevitable that ice and ice barbie will encounter violent opposition when they raid a wrong address sometime soon. But it will be localized to that location.
Most of the radical groups of self armed wackos are working for ice now and reveling in their racism.
graycube@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Who do you think will win in the coming civil war and why?327·12 days agoNo one will win because while we are messing around worrying about skin color and genitals – climate change; new pandemics; the collapse of pollinators; the acidification of the oceans; the proliferation of nuclear waste; and other similarly critical issues will remain unaddressed and doom us all.

graycube@lemmy.worldto Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•I'm still not sure how to do this actually oh wait maybe... nope.20·13 days agoI put the bag between my palms and rub back and forth a bunch of times. It works as long as you have both hands free (and you have two hands).
You can have any color you want as long as it is black.
Depending on the state there may be different formal definitions based on population and incorporation status. In Ohio, we have townships, villages, and cities. In Pennsylvania they have “boroughs” instead of villages. In NY a borough is a subdivision of a city. I don’t think they have the township organizational structure in Vermont. In Maine there are unincorporated territories (usually just numbered).
The role of the county government can vary significantly from state to state too.
graycube@lemmy.worldto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•WTF is a rural town in the USA?531·24 days agoMost towns are not urban by any standard. I ate dinner over the weekend in a town with a population of 669. It was big enough to have its own restaurant and post office. It was a 30-40 minute drive from any town with a population over 10,000 (and that, just barely).
This guy has a YouTube channel of him just driving around small towns in the rural Midwest USA. https://youtube.com/@joeandnicsroadtrip

graycube@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Trump says Harvard University's tax-exempt status will be revoked6·2 months agoThis implies Harvard somehow makes a profit. I’m pretty sure Harvard’s accountants can show they have nothing to pay taxes on even with a large endowment, and especially if they are funding research formerly supported by the federal government. Also property taxes are not collected by the feds, so I’m also pretty sure they still won’t pay property taxes. They don’t really have shareholders to worry about. I think this is just Trump being clueless again.

graycube@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•'This is the crisis moment': Political scientist says Trump crossed a crucial red line0·2 months agoSo if you know you are going to get disappeared without a trial, then it seems logical to resist ICE capture by all means available. Given the high rate of gun ownership in the US, I am truly surprised we aren’t hearing about gunfights and standoffs and hero ICE people being killed by those allegedly already violence predisposed alleged gang members they are rounding up.
Maybe they are invading Greenland. Or it is a ruse and they are invading Canada.
