Glitterati strike again!
Text: ICE agents are complaining that every time they go out wearing masks in unmasked cars with no uniforms or identification, protesters keep dumping pounds of glitter on them so that everyone can tell they're ICE for days afterwards.

Arm yourselves. This isn’t a joke.
They want millions dead.
Do you know that the KKK would disperse & never come back when would-be victims armed themselves and shot at them? A big element in the civil rights movement was vets coming back from the world wars with combat experience and firing back on their oppressors. Those are stories that get lost in the pEaCefUL pRoTeST propaganda, but arming up and defending their communities was a huge piece of the black civil liberties movement.
Anyway, point is, turns out people who hide behind masks to commit terroristic acts are truly, deeply chickenshit. I'm willing to bet ICE would do the exact same thing as the KKK if fired back upon.
The 2 go hand in hand. The peaceful element provides cover and public cause support for the more militant elements. They also make it harder to concentrate forces to deal with them.
In turn, the militant add teeth to the peaceful element.
An intelligent government acts early, before the militant elements can come to bear. But for best results both (technically all 3, including political) are required.
Another good example are the Irish troubles. The IRA, while prominent, couldn't "win". The marches, and Sinn Fein did.
The people in charge want to fill private prisons with a vulnerable population who have no recourse as they have little or no rights. It's a grift at the expense of human lives. They don't actually care about immigration, they're just using white supremisists as pawns to achieve their goals. They'll also use them to eliminate political opposition to avoid eventual consequences if anyone with a spine ever gets back in power.

America is top of the list yet nothing happens. Seems like those "to defend against rogue government" arguments are just talk anyway and the entire world told you that for years.
Looks like Americans are all talk and just keep the guns around just for a higher suicide rate and school shootings.
Cue glitter being declared a weapon of mass destruction.
More like weapon of mass fabulousness!
You look so luxurrrious!
Hell yes
Your time has come
Okay ,so if they covered in glitter, they're ICE. If not, they're kidnappers for god knows what. I think it's imperative people be able to distinguish their kidnappers, since the federal government is unable to do this.
Shit! An ICE agent!
No honey, I am a stripper.
It's even worse during pride month !
me walking out of a strip club after getting a bunch of dances: I'M NOT ICE! I'M JUST A PERVERT!
Cover them both in glitter. If you can't tell a kidnapper from an ICE agent they should all go to jail.
Send them all to El Salvador and sort it out later
If you see an armed person with a mask, assume hostile intent. Call 911 and report masked people with guns.
I mean... yes but that's only going to slightly annoy. Sadly I think this is going to take actually using a "stand your ground" law correctly. IE how the hell can anyone argue against, I saw a gang of masked men with a gun coming towards me and I feared for my life.
Is there an online database for naming and shaming them yet?
I’ve seen this link floating around:
I was thinking of this idea as well. How do you verify and vet all that shit. It could get some innocent people hurt.
If you see someone who claims to be ice, cut their pinky finger off. Can't hide that.
Super Soakers and water balloons full of bright orange permanent dye.
I wouldn't point anything vaguely gun shaped at them.
And make it smell bad.
Why not just use H2O2?
Wouldn't bright pink be even better?
Gotta hit 'em with a stink bomb they won't be able to wash off for days
Smells like pig in here
smells like bullshit in here
soap and water will wash it away just fine
Is this true? I haven’t seen articles or videos about it yet.
Best I can tell it originated from a satire website. It is still hilarious.
This is a memes community. Take anything and everything posted here with a grain of salt. Or glitter.
Maybe this will give people some fabulous ideas.
All I could find myself was a TikTok video making the same joke. It definitely seems like any story of it actually happening is made up, but I do hope some people take... inspiration from it.
Not that I've seen. But I want it to be true.
Get a paintball gun with the paint balls filled with that permanent dye banks use for bank robbers.
Beet root boiling water is a very stubborn dye to wash off too.
Yes, and then die when you're shot because you pointed something gun-like at them.
tyrannical problems require fabulous solutions
We used to use tar and feathers... Oh how we've fallen as a civilization.
Honestly, this is way better because of the implications of what they've been doing. Also, their neighbors will know to avoid them.
I imagine one of them going home, getting a side eye and trying to claim "no, I was at a strip club, honest."
While I applaud the idea, won't this land you an assault charge?
No fighting fascism without risk
Each person have a different amount of risk they are willing to take but the important part is to fight
You complete me.
Do consult your lawyer before throwing glitter bombs at masked, not uniformed kidnappers that might or might not be ICE agents.
You're probably getting the assault charge anyway for giving them mean looks; may as well get some glitter in there while you're at it.
Only if you get caught
Just because ice don’t like it doesn’t mean it’s wrong
Because ICE doesn't like it means it's so right.
So, glitter bombs without glitter to avoid the charge?
No, no... the non-giltter bomb definitely still needs a charge. The bigger the better to avoid making the not-glitter too densely focused, aye?
Depends on how fast you can run. Though the thought of a drive-by glittering on an e-scooter also makes for a pretty fucking funny mental image.
They are gonna arrest you just for standing there. Might as well go down swinging
Glitter paintballs or a wiffel bat filled with glitter or an aluminum bat coated with glitter glue!
Assault and battery of a police officer and destruction of property with malicious intent.

Not if you aim for the eyes.
Gotta do it from high up. Top of a building with multiple escape routes. Wide area glitter dispersal. Gives time to escape.
Technically, it would be battery.
What if you just throw handfuls up around yourself as you go nearby. Your glittering yourself, but there's "friendly fire."
That ICE agent's name? Albert Einstein.
If I lived in an area where these thugs were operating and was concerned for my safety I’d consider carrying something like This long before I’d consider glitter. Let these thugs explain to family & friends why their faces look like blue/purple raccoon masks.
Wow, those are cheap!
Me. I was saving actually doing it for like September (back to school sales would save me a fuckload on glitter) but I guess I wasn't creative enough and gotta think up something else.
I actually love this.
That's a rad idea.
Use paintballs next. Give em some good ole' PTSD.
I was thinking aquarium dye.
They are not ICE agents, they are bounty hunters from paramilitary groups paid by ICE to do raids.
That's why they are covering their faces, tattoos, wear mismatched military gear that you can buy online and act like they are not trained (because they aren't)
No ICE member is complaining about this, nor is it happening. This is just some random on the internet desperately wishing it would happen and catch on, which it won't for many obvious reasons.
You must be super fun at parties!
Oh no! Did my pointing out how ineffective this would be against the growing tide of fascism throw cold water on your infantile idea which you had to pretend ICE cares about? Silly me, I'll let you get back to planning how to rearrange the deck chairs on the Titanic.
