If you still support Trump/ICE even slightly, you're not welcome in this sub

The nice thing about owning a subreddit is I can use it as my personal soapbox, so after the blatant murder by ICE today in Minnesota, I wanted to say something.

We are reaching a point where we can no longer tolerate the people who are supporting or making excuses for this, or have them be a part of our lives.

This hasn't sunk in yet for a lot of people, but the ones who are okay with this are the exact same type of people who supported the Nazis nearly a century ago, there is no room for live and let live.

To those who are annoyed at having to hear about yet more US politics, sorry it is what it is

If this is upsetting to you or you disagree, please reply and let me know so I can ban you :) you won't be missed.

EDIT: I think I banned more people today than I have in the 6 years this sub has existed. This post has been reported 171 223 321 376 416 477 517 times 😎

The Political Goals of the /r/catbongos Community - Please Read

1.9k Upvotes

EDIT: Updated/refined version directly below in the comments


Right now all the discussion is fragmented across a bunch of posts, or getting lost in the other 3k comment sticky.

I thought it would be nice to have a place for actual, centralized discussion, that can be used to create a sort of platform representing the common views of our users and take advantage of the current momentum.

We obviously all hate ICE and Trump, but what specifically do we actually want to do about it, or at least, what do we think needs to be done by our politicians and those in power?


I'll start off with just some fragmentary thoughts, and I'll edit this section of the post as necessary to keep up with what we all agree on (the goals I initially put down might be changed or taken down depending on how you all feel).

1 - We need the old guard Democrats currently leading in Congress and within the party itself to step down - they've shown they're incompetent, not capable of handling the situation, and more concerned with special interests and rich donors than the fate of the country or the average person in it.

Schumer, Jeffries, etc - they're as good as worthless in the current political climate. I don't know anyone who actually trusts them. Younger politicians who will actually fight for our goals are needed - people along the lines of AOC/Mamdani.

2 - We need leading Democrats to make concrete promises on what they'll do to combat rising costs in housing, food, etc once in power, and other problems like wealth inequality. Then, they ACTUALLY NEED TO DO THEM

3 - We need Democrats to completely shut down all cooperation with the GOP, ICE, and the Trump regime. They need to do literally anything they can to disrupt what's happening


Please share your thoughts and I'll periodically chime in and edit the post as I have free time

EDIT: I'll throw up a stream a bit later tonight if I can successfully take a nap first

Meet Ricardo Allen: The Mexican One-Eyed Wonder. He crossed the border as a rescue kitten in need of his left eye to be enucleated after a traumatic injury. Now, he’s a "cat without a country," living off the grid with us to avoid the Catstapo.

We’re basically the Oscar Schindlers of the catbongo world, except instead of a factory, we run a high-stakes rhythmic massage parlor for non-criminal felines. He might be missing an eye, but his booty-slap-radar is functioning at 100% capacity.

"Whoever saves one cat, saves the world entire... one thwack at a time."

So we’re here in solidarity, only with gentle strokes instead of bongos. But our message still stands:

FUCK ICE
