This what real resistance entails. I don’t see the current liberal resistance holding up to a single threat of their smartphone being bugged. If you want real resistance, then start sincerely studying Indigenous resistance, & understand what western liberalism (conservative & democratic) has done.

“This is a self-contained place, so there’ll be staff. We’ve got showers…” For the staff. Not for the migrants being kept in the concentration camp. Also — DeSantis mentions “emergency management” b/c Florida is asking FEMA to pay for the facility as an “emergency”. Gross.

Israeli’s are trying to compare retaliation for their bombing of a sovereign nation to the events of 9/11 in the U.S. Delusional would be an understatement as a rebuttal. What silliness. Bombing a sovereign nation and being retaliated upon is not a surprise act of aggression. How ridiculous.

I'd like to add to the madness by stating that an US-based LLM (AI) such as ChatGPT, Grok, etc., wrote the retaliatory tariffs.
