The fact we have secret police whisking people off the streets doesn’t get enough attention. It ain’t normal and we’re further down the road to authoritarianism than you think.

Six months late with this. Now they have a six month headstart on us.
This has always been the case for black and brown folks please read more books by poc who's struggles started in the 1640s this has always been a genocidal settler colonial state wake up
Exactly
Umm.... "secret police whisking people off the streets" isn't "further down the road to authoritarianism". It's the end-point. It's not a slippery slope or whatever either. It's where you crash when you slip down the slope. We are in Fascist land, having passed Authoritarian County to get here
You guys have a 2A, which was specially written for this. "A well regulated militia, FOR THE SECURITY OF A FREE STATE." Only time will tell if you continue down that road or not.
That doesn’t in any way, say that Americans will continue to allow it to go on.. In spite of a lack of leadership by the Dems.. with monumental exceptions…AOC, Chris Murphy, etc., Americans are mobilizing in greater and greater numbers with every protest, every defense of immigrants, every pushback.
But "Hakeem Jeffries gave a record long speech" is what is getting media and cartel party coverage, not the administration's building of a partisan federal police force, concentration camps and a corrupt SCOTUS blessing it all.
And there’s 10,000 more new hires soon to come. This shit is real.
Most of the media is corrupt and complicit!! It won’t be long till the shooting starts and the military members will be forced to make a choice between the constitution or unlawful orders that violate the constitution and human rights.
A trump concentration camp filling up with innocent people and water in a swamp is further along too. They're not allowing any oversight. Whatever you can imagine as the worst that can happen is only days or weeks away, and they are euphoric about torturing them to send a message of hate. 👹👹👹👹👹👹👹👹
Are you really going to feed people to alligators
Do you really want to wait to find out?
They gave already refused five democrat officials entry. It's not like anyone can just go in and stop them, on orders from DeSatan. What part of law enforcement or the military will stop them? What other country will save us? Not even the Supreme Court will do anything.
Florida, hurricane season started June 1st it rains everyday. Water was flowing into one of the tent. Will those tents hold up against a hurricanes. This is inhumane. Shameful!
Exactly what they want. I call it genocide by Mother Nature, the new plausible deniability.
How can they live with themselves and look at themselves in the. mirror? Treating their fellow man like trash? Some of the republicans probably had undocumented immigrants working for them in their homes and businesses. Hypocrites r Us republicans.
I know now that their brains are fried with white supremacist rotten-to-the-core hate. Name ONE republican who is standing up against this. Just one.
One Hurricane and that camp is wiped off the map along with all the innocent people in it. Such a waste of taxpayers' money when they could be using those funds to help veterans, the homeless or feed children in schools lunch.
They don't think like that. Their brains are hate fried.
We will never know if they feed people to the alligators. With no oversight unless we get a whistleblower we will never know what really is happening there.
Exactly X 1000. All records will be "destroyed" by an act of nature.
Wow. Loomer is an awful person. I hope I continue to be shocked by these things and they never become normal.
Somebody PLEASE assinate Laura Loomer...
That’s crazy someone or anyone could actually tweet that openly? Basically calling for the extermination of all Latinos in our country. Ethnic Cleansing. Nazism.
They've lost all sensitivity...if they ever had it. Now they're just cruel out in the open.
But yet MSM isn’t covering most of it, UN Rights Watch has been barely there…ACLU has been very vocal and immigration rights groups too, but still they’re in the minority
So we do our best to fight it, keep showing up, keep being loud, and for god's sake vote. We're at war with extremists & racists and having this much power has been their fever dream forever. I hope their blinding stupidity is their undoing.
That’s usually their downfall, in every fascist regime their downfall is thinking they’re untouchable. I’ll keep being loud and keep voting, and mobilizing my community to stay strong and keep fighting!
👊🇺🇲📢💙🔥
Also without oversight we will not know how many concentration camps there actually are. We won’t know until all of this ends all the atrocities that occurred under Trump.
If drones are shot down we won't, and they'll close off the airspace too.
Good point. I keep forgetting about drone access.
The Trump Gestapo taking people off the street without warrants or charges is breaking just about every constitutional amendment. Time for impeachment!
I think the frogs in the pot are starting to boil.
The thing that most people don’t realise about authoritarian regimes is how rapidly the population is impoverished. The roads crumble, the currency falls, rail networks fail. People don’t get paid. Everything turns to 5h¡T, a massive landslide of 5h¡T.
Not true at all - Chile under Pinochet and Germany under Hitler
Those with the most resources can stave it off for a while, but the sides of the power pyramid are too steep. They’re inherently unstable.
I lived in Chile for two years and heard lots of folks talk about how Pinochet would fly undesirables over the ocean or the desert, handcuff them, and push them overboard. So many bodies in the desert. So many missing. I wouldn’t want to live in that kind of country. Fascism is never good.
I think he was horrible.
Chile still suffers because of Pinochet's constitution and it's been more than 30 years since his regime ended. We hate that man.
I would hate him too if I were Chilean. But isn't it true that some people still think he was a great leader. I've been reading a lot of books about Chile in preparation for a trip there.
There's a lot of people who still supports Trump too. The thing is, the previous government to the dictatorship was a socialist one, and the people with power made everything they could to savotage it, so the general masses could grow angry to the left.
The positive feeling towards Pinochet is merely emotional. When you really look into what happened there, they didn't make any favors to Chile. They erased culture, they rebuild the economic structure to enrich the richs and enpoor the poors (hence why so many wealthy people still likes him),
they ruined the public health systems (to the point where only now we have a current president, Boric, who at last made improvements to those), and a lot more that gets clear when you really dig in. The thing is, many people is scared of the left here because during Allende's government (+)
things were not great... Both because of extreme socialist meassures and because of the boycots by the powerful. People still fear that the same thing could happen if the left is on power, which is kinda dumb honestly. The last right wing government by Piñera was abismal and almost broke the country
Germany did absolutely horrible under Hitler. Thinking it did well is buying into literal Nazi propaganda. The only reason anything worked was the money stolen from Jewish Germans
Hitler was the worst human being that has ever lived. At first, most Germans were happy with Hitler. For them, he righted what they considered the wrongs of the Treaty of Versailles and annexed Austria and Czech without war.
Oh, and look. www.noahpinion.blog/p/pinochets-...
Pinochet didn't do so well with the economy there. The same could happen here now.
Neoliberalism already happened in the US. I think what Pinochet did was horrible. But some Chileans got extremely rich off his policies and they liked him.
I recommend reading the book, The Chile Project: The Story of the Chicago Boys and the Downfall of Neoliberalism by Sebastian Edwards. Economically, a bit more nuanced than the internet. Do you read books?
Yes, Pinochet's policies caused a lot of suffering. Just like in the US, Pinochet's policies made a portion of the population very rich and Chileans believe he saved them from communism. I never said I liked Pinochet.
I remember Berlin not doing so hot under Hitler regime? 🤔
All that slave labour too..
There are always ppl thriving under fascists regimes. The chosen sycophant few. The rest exist in fear and misery.
Polls asking Chileans what they thought of Pinochet, 40% had a positive view of him. In the 1932 elections, the Nazi party got 37% of the vote. Hitler's popularity grew after he took office. Dictatorships are usually able to garner at least 40% approval with 20% no opinion and 40% against.
Not sure what point you are trying to make… this data doesn’t show that people approve of dictators or that they make people’s lives better fascists control info so ppl are cut off from critical news. & ppl get disappeared for objecting to despots, would they say the truth in a state survey?
I could go on. In general about 30% of a population has a net preference for authoritarian leadership… Satisfaction ratings must be analysed in context. In a past life I always told clients that less than 80% satisfaction was a problem
We bounced rubble and burned Berlin down.
You remember? From 1933 to 1941, things were going pretty well for Germany. I've just finished reading 6 books on the history of Nazi Germany. I'm on my 7th. And under Chavez in Venezuela, the economy didnt really start falling apart until 10 years later.
Without saying what you’re reading, the number of books you have read is *the lowest possible level of information, about your knowledge of nazi Germany*. 1934, people started getting murdered.. the numbers snowballing on into a hellscape. If you’re delusional enough to think that’s good.. ur lost.
No. I think it's horrible. The worst tragedy in the world. Hitler was the worst. But a lot of Germans loved Hitler. When when he came to power, for Germans he righted the wrongs of the Treaty of Versailles and annexed Austria and Czechoslovakia without war. THEY liked that.
Turns out those get-rich-quick schemes had consequence, though.
Bad financial policy causes wars. Wars are bad financial policy. www.quora.com/Was-Nazi-Ger...
www.quora.com/Was-Nazi-Ger...
Pinochet caused a gigantic recession and Hitler lead directly to Germany being reduced to a smoking crater.
Yes. Hitler and Pinochet were the worst. The absolute worst people that has ever lived. I hope they both rot in hell. At the time, many Germans and Chileans loved them.
That's a bit different from the original argument though. You seemed to object to the idea that fascists tend to destroy their own countries, which they objectively do based on the evidence we have.
No, the original comment was that the economies are destroed rapidly. I argued that many times the economies do not collapse right away. It takes a while for the policies to be felt. In fascist regimes, the elites benefit and the ones targeted like the left in Chile are silenced.
I guess rapid or not is kind of subjective though.
Read the original post. Fascism is bad for many reasons other than economic ones. Fascism is also not a political economic theory like communism is.
Yeah the disabled, homosexual, Roma, Jewish, Left-wing, Trade Unionists and ‘any and all critics’ had a fabulous time 🤯 Jesus H Christ 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️ You are taking Cognitive Dissonance to whole new levels..
I remind people that admire the pseudo Nietzschian ideals, Germany ended the war with more ethnic diversity than any other European nation. A friend of mine is of Japanese/German heritage. Not what Adolf had in mind. Enslaved people are itching to sabotage their economic contributions anyway.
💪🤬
Ssshhhh, they will come for you
Instead of reminding us of what we already know, and triggering our fears, tell us what to do.
Excellent suggestion!!!
Thanks. I’m so effing tired of people here who jeep focusing on how bad it is but have NOTHING to say about what to do next. We’re calling, donating, volunteering, & protesting, but it just keeps getting worse. Where is our Ulysses Grant? 🤬 Thanks for reading my vent.
Keep not Jeep 🙄🤦🏻♀️
I feel the same. It’s easier to complain than to help with a solution. I learned a valuable tactic at my job. We were not allowed to complain in a meeting unless we had an alternative to offer.
We are already there !
Most of the media isn’t covering it at all.
Ikr? It's surreal. The opening of the municipal swimming pool for the summer gets more coverage.
Down the road? We've been there for a long time I would think someone like you would've noticed
I wish we'd stop calling it authoritarianism. donald is creating a white supremacist christo fascist dictatorship. Complete with a gestapo and an SS that are no longer loyal to the constitution. Past time to fucking rise up, take back the streets and fuck the nazi pigs right up the ass.
I guess if no one else is going to put a group to help stop these Modern day Nazis,you and I have to. Time for open up DMs and also let’s get everyone on signal!
Have you heard about this? generalstrikeus.com
Oh, I think we’re damn far down the road. They’re crowing about the new concentration camp they just built in EIGHT DAYS. We’re at the Hide Your Neighbors Like They’re Freaking Anne Frank stage of authoritarianism.
And the stock market keeps going up. Wall Street doesn’t care.
Down the road of authoritarianism? Since the ugly bill passed the USA is a fascist state.
Quickly to become a police state with the amount of funding just given to ICE.
Also, the fact that we b💣mbed Iran, may not top the list of most heinous things that happened in the last two weeks.
😭 @lt-jlh.bsky.social
further down? NO we are already there, any student of III Reich coming into power recognizes the signs, except this time they wear masks (cowards!)
Everything is being normalized and totally ignored by media. It disgusts me even listening to NPR
skynews, france 24 on Roku, Deutsche welle on laptop (maybe Roku too). As you say, media here normalize it. They are scared. Everyone is
God, I didn’t realize it was more fear than greed
Oma would already be ten steps ahead. I just think what she would say
Certainly, but back in 1938 she was(much) younger than I, makes a huge difference.
I hope you’re ok. Call anytime if you want to talk before tomorrow
Oh, I think she left late, right, after Kristallnacht? l mean she would see what coming in the US. She warned me about Trump around 2010
The anschluss was 12 March, 1938. Austrian jews were relatively safe until then. It changed dramatically overnight.
Wow. I can’t even imagine
Nov 1938 (Austria had already been "anschlussed", but discrimination started in March) encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/a...
💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯!
especially given the fact that scotus is greenlighting it
Not just down the road.... They have "housing developments" in and out of the US.
And the budget for these masked paramilitary thugs has just been increased five fold. Just in time for the 2026 midterms. Google nazi brown shirts.
You are and starmer thinks he can do the same in UK
Nazi ICE “agents” will be held accountable for human trafficking — and their arrest and incarceration will swing the majority of the nation’s prison population from Blacks and Latinos to White. Just following orders means nothing when they actively applied for the job.
No hyperbole. Los Angeles is a police state. The weaponized DOJ is suing Los Angeles' Mayor and City Council Members over sanctuary city laws. They say LA is interfering, but we're not. We're just not cooperating with their mass deportation efforts. #ResistTyranny www.npr.org/2025/07/01/n...
55 Canadians have been swept up by ICE and we cannot get any information about them. This is NOT cool.
My god these people are so warped.
I agree Taco loco normal American people hopes he buzz 🐝 off. I love Canada several places. Worlds fair then above North Dakota Regina on the Washington Vancouver fishing oryster baging on low tide bags them open them and cook and eat. Many People spoke French
And 1 died
Dang it. Definitely not coo
I suggest Canada call the UN. Pretty please!
ASAP.
One Canadian has died while in custody of ICE. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...
They deserve justice, this is so fucking sick.
Kristi Noem is not releasing information on people detained. Not allowing them to contact lawyers or family. This is a Police State. We need to fight this. Organize 100,000 people to call the ICE Tipline on the same day with the same message??
Krusty Gnome is just some stupid unelected skinny bitch who has no qualifications to "secure" a fucking mall parking lot, they should have appointed Paul Blart. unelected plastic whores are nobodies and don't get to say shit, get an italian or puerto rican chick to kick her ass for think she's shit
Shocked… shocked I am…
One died already that we know of
Yes. We non fascists know and deeply regret this. May he RIP and may we see these bounty hunters pay a karmic price. Not sure if it's true but understand the wife of one was taken within the past 2 days.
Canada should at least put sanctions on the US for this attack on their citizen and demand retribution
Just 1 more reason Canadians are staying away, and rightly so. Personally haven’t set foot in US since y’all went nuts and elected him the first time. Looks like I’ll never get to see NOLA or SAN Francisco now. It makes me sad.
As an American, it makes me sad too. I feel like I'll never be able to travel abroad ever again without being hated and possibly harmed.
I don't think you should fear visiting other countries... you're living in the authoritarian state, not all us are...
He’s not talking about fear of visiting other countries. He’s talking about fear of the way people treat us when we’re abroad if they know we’re American vs when they don’t.
Yes, thank you. That is exactly what I meant.
Wires crossed... I guess my intention was to point out that I would be worried about entering the US right now because of my anti-tRump social media feed, whereas you are free to visit my country regardless of your thoughts on my country...
you're welcome in my neighborhood right across the street from a gated community that also flies a Canadian flag. don't pay any more attention to our state run media, cities where People actually live are blue, avoid bumfuck poor hillbilly locations where they think they are just broke billionaires
Oh yeah you definitely do NOT want to come here right now
Canada should invade us over it.
Why are drug traffickers being picked up by ICE and not regular police?
The C in ICE is Customs which relates to good crossing borders so it makes sense that they would have jurisdiction over a drug trafficker if they got him first
He was a long term resident trafficking drugs within the border. There’s no suggestion he was importing drugs from Canada
They can still share overlapping jurisdiction since they came in from somewhere
Omg
This is an outrage
Here's a list of people we know of that has died while being detained in ICE custody www.ice.gov/detain/detai...

We are not just “farther down the road” to authoritarianism, we are there. We are living it right now. The question is can we reclaim our tolerant and free pluralistic society based on the rule of law, not the rank desires of some narcissist.
remember when people used to protest TSA for the first few months TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO now imagine them ARMED with hyper-funding when they run out of "low-hanging fruit" in a year or out of innocent people entirely in a few years whatcha think they are going to be re-tasked for? election police?
Yep, that's because the MSM DOESN'T talk about it! We need a video playing these scenes over freeways! You know like those kind of signs they put up to alert you about construction or an accident. We need OTHER ways to get the word out because just like our Justice system, the MEDIA is FAILING US!
Scares the crap out of me.
And you’re paying for all of it with your tax dollars. ICE is getting $50 billion dollars it will be very hard to stop. No more paying federal taxes. Change your W-4. Only pay what you owe on April 15.
live below the poverty level if you can
A reminder on this July 4, NO matter your skin color, nationality immigration status, gender, sexual orientation, disability status, religion, or any other vulnerable category: You belong here. Today, rather than a declaration of independence, we now need a declaration of interdependence. #FuckICE
Shall we declare ourselves “sovereign citizens” and refuse to pay federal taxes… or would that give Scump a reason to sic ICE on us?
If 11 million did this they wouldn’t be able to stop it.
I’d hope for 80 million, but I’m a hopeless romantic optimist.
📌
People don't seem to realize that the real issue here is the constitutional due process rights violations, not the enforcement of immigration laws. When a president deports people without proper court hearings, he's acting like a Judge, Jury and the Executioner - the definition of a tyrant.
Yes and now it has full funding. Imagine the things they will do now.
😂 The world is paying attention - tourism is waaaay down and state governors are begging Canadians to visit - a big HELL NO!
you are clearly (to me, anyway) no longer on the road. you have arrived.
PS - local police are of no help and instead of not participating or helping the people in their community, they are assisting ICE.
I repost videos every day directly on my senators’ pages here, I write them, I email them. I get nothing back. And I have the supposed good guys as my senators as I live in Northern California and have seen ICE activity here
stop just talking ..and whinging .you yanks are all talk..but effin gutless ..brave talk on social media .. then go home to a comfy bed ...fuck off ..grow fuck8ng balls you yanks
Well ...enforce ..Your Police force ...to Stop these Thugs from Kidnapping people ...fucking arrest them ..until they prove who they really are ..and who they are working for ..Stand fucking up and stop this fucking crap
And watch Americans fight back. Its going to be gun fights everyday
THE PROBLEM IS...republicunts ARE COMPLETELY UNAWARE! They think everything is AOK, because the GREAT BLOVIATOR is LARGE and IN CHARGE. They have NO IDEA whats coming.
Quite. And unless more people speak out and challenge this regime we will see the end of that road.

It's not just authoritarianism, it's fascism, and it's already here.

Arrived
It’s scary stuff
To say the least
Replace "authoritarianism than you think" with "authoritarianism than libtards think"
What do you mean "further"? We already way the fuck there.
Americans have a decision to make. Stay at home and lose everything or hit the streets and fight for freedom. Make a decision !
The fact that a portion of the country is rooting for it is even less normal
We the people MUST SHOUT THIS FROM THE MOUNTAINTOPS: It is INTOLERABLE for Americans or ANYONE in America to be KIDNAPPED off the street by unidentified assailants to unknown locations with NO DUE PROCESS. This is WRONG! Fight for rule of law & humanity with 5calls, Indivisible, ACLU, 50501. ACT!!
We're already there.

Tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick...................... how much can our citizens take.
Apparently the public wants it. Otherwise they’d be exercising their 2nd amendment rights and masked kidnappers would be dead in the streets. Just sayin🤷🏻♂️
Makes it hard to think the Fourth of July means anything remotely connected to democracy this year- and for how many more?
It still does. It's the fact more people sat and ate hamburgers and set off fireworks cheering about freedom than those who protested losing it. When the regime is deposed, you (vous) should create a new holiday
My immediate and extended family ate burgers but didn't set off fireworks and spent half the afternoon shitting on our government. I'm pretty proud of them for being so aware of what's going on, being middle-class white people. I just wish they listened to me years ago.
I brought food to a food bank and supported these guys on a freeway overpass.
That's awesome!
Looking forward to celebrating his death and downfall.
I want the downfall first for him to see it!
bsky.app/profile/af68...
USA is already there and you voted for it or didn’t vote there bye allowing it.
You should be concerned they are neither secret nor police.
We're there NOW.
I did get the ICEBlock app
I'm say we're there.
And they just got funded billions! I’m afraid
ICE is the 2025 Retrumplican version of the Gestapo —just like the Gestapo, ICE violently detains people without warrants & holds them without due process. We are no longer on "the road to authoritarianism..." The USA has arrived at authoritarianism & only courageous patriots can change that fact.
People don't want to believe that we are basically in 1934 Germany, allowing themselves to ignore the kidnappings happening across the country
That's how Nazi Germany happened People turning their faces away, pretending it wasn't happening
I’m sure there were German citizens cheering it on, too, just as there are American citizens cheering this on. Sadly.
Yes, there were. I started listening to this audiobook yesterday; it’s a fascinating look at the mindset of everyday Germans during Hitler’s reign. It was published in 1955 by an American who moved to Germany after the war, befriended men who’d been Nazis, and interviewed them for this book.
Sounds interesting. Thx.
people with platforms ought to be warning people to get the f out. if you've been vocal about opposing this regime your name is on a list. that list will be used to disappear people. it's not gonna be long b4 it starts now that ICE's budget increases are law. if u can -- leave.
If ICE show up with guns face mask no uniform or badge, gather all the information you can, vehicle tags type color. Then dial 911 and report that you are in fear for your life, local PD will turn up in force. Everyone should do this
To be honest, local police departments are not going to interfere in nearly all instances.
Yes, don't count on police. Everyone needs to be building local support networks. I don't really know what the most effective tactic is yet but communities are finding ways to fight back
And then, if the "ice" agents try to put hands on anyone, start beating the fuck out of them!!!! They are kidnappers!
Use a gun. Works better and is more permanent.
Yet vast majority of Americans think this is hysterics. I really don’t know what it is going to take to wake people up. I really starting to think living in a mafia state is only way.
Things are going to get way worse real soon I’m afraid
It takes only a few more major dominoes before it’s irrefutable. We’re actively sprinting down that road
This is absolutely bone-chilling. Illegal immigration needs to be addressed, but accosting people without a warrant & while masked ain't it! Families aren't told where they're whisked off to. The brown shirts are resurrected here in the USA.
If this were happening in other Democracies, first the legal system would end it. Secondly, the people would be involved in major demonstrations and community action, and thirdly, the media would call it out for what it is.
Therein lies the problem Our media LIES to the people who believe the lies & vote against their own best interests Because reagan got rid of the Fairness Doctrine & maggots have twisted 1A into knots The gop has been screwing US since nixon (at least)
Corporate media is really trying hard not to stir the pot. If it weren't for independent media, we'd know next to nothing about any of the horror show that is transpiring in our country at this moment. And it seems like he's just about to start arresting journalists and politicians he doesn't like.
People will finally realize it is time for violence if he starts doing that
Following the Hitler playbook. And so many Americans are ready to follow orders, it seems like. This is truly frightening
I wonder what the media did during the rise of the Nazi regime? Are we witnessing it in real time?
Behind The Bastards has your answer: www.iheart.com/podcast/105-...
Incredible and informative podcast.
Cliff notes version: Hitler bought the Völkischer Beobachter and put all other newspapers out of business. He also outlawed all radios other than Volksenfangers that only received Nazi broadcasts. Full control. That’s where we’re headed.
Thanks for this. Good to know. And yes Fox and OAN are lining up to play their part.
In "Conspiracy", Kenneth Branagh's General Heydrich, with all his thin lipped smiles, implied ability to do massive violence, blond hair, and shoulder ornaments looks an awful lot like Antony Starr's Homelander (The Boys). It is super-creepy, but very fitting.
They are also both thoroughly corrupted by their craving for and access to power.
Homelander is a lift from many precedents, vigilantism shares some methods with early fascism, seemingly magical powers of the Leader are among the features of the NatSoc fascist model, but he's always meant to be Superman through a 3rd Reich lens. Heydrich would have worked at Vought in exec. admin
I'm finishing part 1, and decided to watch "Conspiracy" per @iwriteok.bsky.social 's recommendation. Great movie. Although I probably wouldn't feel that way except it seems so unfortunately relevant to the current moment.
We can only hope for more administrators having bad flights this time around.
We're at authoritarianism. We are not going "down the road"; the road has ended. We arrived awhile ago.
The only thing missing is the girl.
Spooky as hell. 🚬😎
America, remember what we stand here for. 🇺🇸🗽🇺🇸 fb.watch/AEqRxveq6m/?...
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold; Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world, The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere The ceremony of innocence is drowned; The best lack all conviction, while the worst Are full of passionate intensity Yeats
Should we all carry mace? Pepper spray? A knife? A firearm? How do I know who this thug or group of thugs actually represent? Even if they are ICE, if they can send me to my death in another country without due process does it just make more sense to stop the threat while in the US?
We're there
The fact that Congress wants the President to have the power to deport a US citizen needs to be broadcasted on every form of media every 15 minutes.
What are we gonna do about it?
They Just passed 160+ Billion to hire the Gestapo, SS and SA ( The Brown Shirts) for the MAGA army... and we need that word to get out... its the only thing that much money can be for: "Charlie Kirk tweeted will give MAGA “a standing army.” " newrepublic.com/post/197612/...
They have a plan... throw the dead and dying into the swamps and let nature disappear them..
We aren’t on a road to it anymore, we have arrived.
We are about two abductions away from a total dictatorship. Once two congresspeople are abducted or jailed without consequence, the rest will fall in line. That’s it. Two abductions away.
Republicans are simply having fun with this. Racism at its highest.
Those stupid hats will be remembered the same as the swastika. We need to pass anti fascist laws like Germany and Australia. These assholes are cruel beyond measure and are gearing up to start killing people. Hell, they have already had immigrants die in their care so far.
I just heard that the majority of Americans want every undocumented immigrant deported. Can you imagine that??
Where did you hear that? It's almost certainly wrong. 1. DREAMers have always been sympathetic figures in polling. 2. As the Miller administration has gone wild kidnapping hardworking migrants, opinion has shown a backlash. www.gelliottmorris.com/p/data Scroll to "by issue"; find "Deportation" 1/
Thank you. Please note June 9 was almost a month ago. ICYMI: www.gelliottmorris.com/p/data Scroll to "Trump underwater on all key issues." Since June 9 approval on deportation has fallen from -7 to below -9. @gelliottmorris.com is compiling many polls; you cited one CBS poll. 1/
From your screen shot I have no link to verify who ran the CBS poll. Polls have outliers and some have strong house effects. If you can link the article, I'll try to find it in his list. The overwhelming bulk of the evidence shows that the public hates T̶r̶u̶m̶p̶'̶s̶ Miller's immigration more over time.
I appreciate you engaging and citing evidence. I'm passionate about this point because it's important not to build the increasingly unpopular Miller administration up into something they're not.
Trump approval on "Deportation" down 24 points to -10 since March! 3. Not contrary to what you said but relevant: The Miller regime is going WAY beyond merely deporting hte undocumented. CECOT torture. Secret police. Tricking the documented who comply with appointments. 2/
... Everglades torture camp. There's no voter mandate for ANY of that. Suppose you're correct and a majority wants the taxpaying dad looking for day work at Home Depot deported. (Although they really don't.) No reason those deportations can't be done humanely. 3/
Miller pretends he has a mandate from November. It's important we don't tacitly cede them a mandate. So we really need to evaluate the source where you heard this. 4/4
No. I actually can’t. Just bc you hear/read a thing doesn’t make it real.
Great. America is done!
Until ....
Auschwitz’s Barbie
That's how it started in Germany and Europe. At some point nobody was complaining and everybody found it normal how Jewish started to disappear.
No longer going down the road to authoritarianism. Having arrived, America goes deeper in.
We ARE there….we’ve been there since the first person was taken and locked up. And that’s been MONTHS that we’ve let go by. Think of all of the things that have happened between when Mahmoud Khalil was taken……and now. That’ll give you some perspective.
It’s going to get worse. There is no way Trump will be impeach. He’s ruling America with an “iron fist” no if and’s or but’s about it. He’s proud of his control and damage he already done.
And every day that goes by, he gets more powerful. It’s got to stop now. I don’t claim to have the answers, I don’t know how-but we’ve got to do something, besides protesting on the weekends or holidays or whatever. They’ve got to feel some kind of pain or consequences like NOW-not in 2026
The DHS budget nearly doubled with the BBB. This raises concerns about intentions extending beyond immigration enforcement, potentially transforming them into a federal police force that bypasses local law enforcement. How frightening is that.
It’s frightening, it’s disgusting… It must be stopped.
The founders had several mechanism in our govt to stop this from happening Thus far, all of them have failed. But one remains and its a core principle of the Declaration of Independence.
I recall the intense emotions during Obama’s inauguration, leading to the emergence of the Tea Party movement, driven by a strong desire for change and a sense of reclaiming their nation. It’s interesting to see how, although the players have shifted, the underlying dynamics remain similar.
The reaction to Obama is disgusting. It’s the same kind of reaction they are having to Mamdani, which is also disgusting. Anyone who threatens a straight, white male must be destroyed and I am sick of it. If America cannot be equal for everyone, then it doesn’t deserve to exist.
The longer this goes on, the easier it is to see that the country was built on racism, misogyny and wealth disparity-and to keep ordinary people down, so the destruction of the country is an opportunity to rebuild a better one-IF we could only find the will to do so.
“The most recent version of the bill, as of this writing, would actually add about $30 billion to ICE's base budget through Sept. 30, 2029, with another $45 billion specifically for detention centers. That makes for a total of $75 billion on top of whatever ICE's annual base budget”
Those blue states trump hates need 2 pull back federal funding that will put some brakes on some of the evil doings.
I ask him not to fund them daily. bsky.app/profile/canw...
🎯
I question how effective that would be… power is power, so the federal government would have the power to crush any state opposition. However, the American people hold an unparalleled power that can shape the future and drive change. That's why the founders gave the people the power to change.
I know WE have to do it and I’m willing to do it. I just don’t know how to get everyone on the same page-or wake up the people that don’t even pay attention. 50% of the country has no idea that this bill even exists. And when I try and talk to people about Trump, they tell me to stop worrying 🤦🏻♀️
Wait until they have no insurance drive fifty miles each to a doctor or hospital. No SNAP. Take care of granny and papa because their nursing homes closed. No Medicaid’s. Then they will worry. What happened
Nobody gives a shit until it affects THEM People thought that they were just going to deport OTHER PEOPLE…until ICE kicks in their door and when their wife gets deported, they’re crying on TikTok They just wanted to end “woke” and “own the libs” not lose anything for themselves 🤬 It’s maddening
The working class is being manipulated by the same system that has exploited them for centuries. The only change now is the audacity of the Trump administration, which should even alarm the elites. They are challenging the people to resist, and if they don’t, the admin will become even more bold.
Isn't it odd that the same populist sentiments that they capitalized on after Obama won in 08 is what’s brewing on the left rn. Its like we’re being played by both parties. We can go after each other all day, as long as we don't come after them.
This is so accurate this picture, it really disgusts me. (I’m more towards the left….NOT the TYT/Jimmy Dore left. 🤬 More like the Sam Seder/Majority Report left)
The recent elections have shown us that appealing to people’s values won’t win elections. For them to care often requires them to personally experience a hardship. My concern is that numerous individuals will endure suffering while those who profit will face no repercussions for their actions.
I was just saying that on another post, until people actually feel the pain themselves….they just don’t care 🤷🏻♀️ It’s just been a demoralizing weekend. 🙁 (Ohhhh, did I say weekend….I meant decade)
overthrow
And it’s not just the 🍊🐔💩🌮’s ICEtapo doing it!
You are already there
Los Angelas has the rich and poor living far apart, wait till homan and goons show up in nyc, where we are in each others pockets. Hard to eat midtown and ignore stuff.
And they were just given unlimited funds.
Well those numbers are growing based on this new budget. We will officially have a police state thanks to the GOP.
… and that they now have a bigger budget than the marine corps 😡🤬😡🤬😡
It's the single worst thing I've seen in my lifetime. People being snatched off the streets. This is literally the kind of things our relatives gave their lives to oppose. A an American, I'm disgusted. Trump had not been held to account for any of it. And fwiw, politically, it's a 90/10 issue.
Lawyers are not going to stop this counter-revolution. There were no lawyers at Valley Forge, Gettysburg, Bellau Woods nor Normandy.
Ask for badge numbers! Active agents must have badge numbers! Badge numbers can then be verified.
Yes. Concentration camps and disappearing.
We are already there
Yup, I feel like this would've been timely to say a month or two ago.
Meanwhile, people turn a blind eye because it isn't their family.
Gee, what happened to ".... liberty and justice for ALL?"
I live in Canada and being neighbour to your country is giving me anxiety. I can’t understand how it seems business as usual when I turn on your news. WTF!
You are not watching the correct stations. Trust me. I'm an American and my only child married a Canadian. I am grateful they live there.
WTF is right! It's been nothing but a non stop clusterfuck since 2016. Haven't stepped foot in the US since 2016 and nor do I intend to. I'll take the tranquility of 🇨🇺 over the daily chaos and mayhem of the 🇺🇸. Even the Castro regime was never that evil.
They own our news, they bender the knee to this administration, like Russia we are only told what they want us to hear
Our mainstream legacy “news” is in on it. They’re complicit. Compromised.
If you're turning on major network news (ABC, NBC, CBS -- or god forbid FOX) you're not seeing that half the country is also terrified. And terrified of that very "business as usual" mentality. Check out MSNBC (esp Nicole Wallace, Ali Velshi), CNN 360, The Bulwark podcasts.
"NOT ON OUR WATCH, USA !" "CANADIANS DON'T PRONOUNCE EMU E-MOOO, like disrespectful yank aholes @libertymutual.com so Canada is still our ally!" "WE CHOOSE ELBOWS UP CANADA, cos they're not a pack of collectively disordered PSYCHOS !" - Australia inc Heron and Mcdonald Island #Auspol #caturday
Much farther sadly.
We're the frogs and the water is getting closer to 212 degrees. All the little bubbles...ignoring court orders, masked kidnappers, human trafficking, arresting political opponents, building concentration camps, etc. will turn into a rolling boil if we don't stop it...SOON.
Do you think we CAN stop it? I’m not too sure we can at this point. Not only are we going to be in a world of hurt but The World is going to be in a world of hurt 😞
As Henry Ford said, "Whether you think you can, or think you can't, you're right." I KNOW we can. One of the last peaceful options that we have is a general strike where we become an undeniable force and bring them to their knees. Money talks. Let's make it scream. generalstrikeus.com
We have 11.5 more years, and he's only getting started. Their solution to every problem is violence. I can totally see how his merry band of GOP misanthropes end up doing murder and mayhem on a Genghis Khan scale.
He NEEDS us to believe he's all powerful & is doing everything possible to dominate us, but he underestimates The People. You're right though. He has evil plans on a grand scale. It's up to us to nip them in the bud before the scales are tipped in his favor.
If you consider the mega funding ICE just secured along with the constant lying about elections (I won California in a landslide if you don't count illegal voting, etc.), then it's not difficult to imagine POTUS ordering ICE to "protect" polling places, and a very dark picture comes into view.
If there is still voting
They are trying to trigger a violent reaction so the orange felon can declare martial law and cancel elections.
Exactly
There isn’t any need to trigger a violent reaction. They can just make shit up. And if there never is any reaction, they’ll just keep pushing until they’re in full control
If the gravy seal contractors just “disappear” there is no visible evidence of violence…just saying.
Watch “I’m Still Here” and have a good idea of a nasty dictatorship.
We are already there. Apparently, nobody can stop this shit.
Shooting masked gunmen in the middle of executing a home invasion is about the most American thing there is. It’s kind of surprising that it hasn’t happened yet - but it definitely will, and I wonder how they will try to spin it? Are they going to try to take our guns away? or just Democrats?
They are just grabbing them off the streets and parking lots now because they got too much attention for going into homes with no warrants
Just a matter of time
It will probably be an illegal immigrant's house so I think the spin on that would be really easy for them
You all should be way more alarmed about this than you appear to be. This is not normal.
I don't know about other people but I'm scared to death and I just can't take it a whole lot longer.
🫂 I am sending love and solidarity from Canada 🇨🇦
Thanks! We really need it!
Too many people are privileged/insulated enough from reality that they think they can still just vote it all away next election. As if there will be one.
My trumper sister says the “detention centers” are not concentration camps because they’re not being gassed. No matter how much I explain it took 8 years for nazis to start gassing people, or tell her concentration camps & extermination camps were for different purposes, she refuses to believe.
www.fairchild.af.mil/News/Feature...).
Can you trade her in for a better sister?
Like one declaration away…
It’s going to get more attention when it escalates. Somewhere right about when we’ll be wishing we had formed our own army to fight back.
They will all be charged for human & child trafficking, domestic terrorism etc…regardless if they were following orders or not. It might take years after the fake is gone, but it will happen.
It took 70 years and a massive collapse of the economy to bring the Soviet Union down, and even then very few people, if any, were charged.
Not sure it will.
Me either.. It might not be easy for alot of people to grasp, but our democracy is truly delicate. What keeps it strong is our shared belief in the greater good, the hope that hard work will be rewarded, & the assurance that justice will prevail. Once you start to erode that belief, its over for us
It is the corporate media that is failing to pay attention. Abandon the corporate media. They don't serve us. Starve them and they'll die.
Just noticed someone in LA with a huge billboard up - faces & names of people who've been "disappeared" - families & friends not knowing where they are. As an Aussie looking on it's almost beyond belief that America could come to this. How long before actual US citizens start disappearing...?
@lt-jlh.bsky.social 😩😠😮
It’s BEEN going on.
Some already have.
International is needed because of the wash up off all coast especially the southern east coast with bodies shaking that washed up they think this is a warning sounds criminal insanity to me.
They'll have to spend those billions on something.
they already started disappearing (as far as I know, would have to 2Xcheck). You're Aussie, I'm FR. Legal. not safe times. If you can get out, get out, because it's only gonna get worse.
Not a list, but here you go: tinyurl.com/4jf6znmh
I don’t understand how there isn’t massive (MASSIVE!!) resistance. General strikes etc
It’s happening. Already.
Man, I have some bad news for you. :/
Fully cemented into the machine now. Q is, how far down this ugly road will you choose the tipping point?
SOS
It already happened, multiple times, with new threats.
The bill that the pussy-grabber signed into law today drastically increases funding for "ICE." But most of these men calling themselves that have no badges, no warrants, and no law enforcement experience at all. It's really scary AF, and the MAGAts are cheering it on. Unbelievable.
I call them “targets”
No badges, no warrants, no law enforcement experience, no hearts, no souls, no brains, no morals, no ethics, no conscience.
It has happened. I think it's like 60 or 70. And that was several days ago I heard those numbers.
Actual US citizens are ALREADY disappearing.
Seriously?? This is the first I’ve heard of that happening to citizens. Can you link me or tell me where to read about that?
Sorry, I've no specific link, but there is a heap of footage across various social media platforms.
Not to mention Canadians and other nationalities. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...
ICE is grabbing citizens as well.
This is a difficult statement to "like". One has to ponder how long it might be before any form of protest, speech or comment is...never mind, it's likely already happening.
Trump voters make up about 22% of the population, so Trump hates nearly 80% of the nation, i.e., there are more of us than there are of them (and many of us take advantage of the 2nd Amendment as well).
It is already happening. Fascist attempt to control us by using fear, and if we start to censor ourselves we just make their job easier (and people are winning by making it harder).
Talking about censoring -- my reply posts to this posting are apparently being blocked, for some reason. Quite ironic.
I can see this reply but don't see any others. Were you replying to me or other posters?
I had tried to reply to you about your post on censorship, but the post was apparently blocked -- I tried to post it several times. It involved Zionism and free speech rights, so that might be the reason.
That's very odd. I certainly didn't opt to mute any particular words (and never do).
Unfortunately, all social media site moderation is done under non-transparent algorithms, so it's impossible to know why certain replies are censored or even why a poster's reach has been limited. For me, I suspect it's my extensive and uncompromising pro-Palestinian posts.
I've had several posts "disappear" and I suspect, in my case, certain cuss words are muted (especially with the profiles with huge followings).
AND TOO MANY OF THE KIDNAPPERS ARE NOT EVEN "ICE"
You're not on 'the road to' anymore. Your destination has been reached. Shame it isn't the ole manifest destiny, because this sordid shit is just pathetic.
Every day i wake up and we still have cell and internet service is a great day. The worst is just around the corner.
Yup
We are already there. As you said, it is now “normal”
Hey, I’m in California and it’s getting all kinds of attention here.
Yeah we’re fed up with the feds.
Maybe the rest of the country needs to see it firsthand for it to make an impact. With their huge budget, I’m sure they’ll be everywhere soon. By then it may be too late for democracy. ☹️
bsky.app/profile/af68...
Celebrity trials and movie releases are bigger headlines. 🫤
The networks and 24 hour cable news want to ignore it. It’s all about acquisitions and mergers and getting Trump’s permission. They have lost their path.
$45 Billion, and we don't even know who these people are and what they're legally allowed to do! A standing army, inside our country, overfunded, over-armed, and undertrained! Masked goon squads. Are they Jan 6ers? Are they militia members who've been stomping around in the woods? WE DON'T KNOW.
They are a combo of the Stazi, SS, and KGB and every member of the GOP from the federal to the municipal level is responsible.
Yes. Yes. And yes. I had a nightmare that 25 million people, age 70+ walked arm-in-arm toward the capital with signs saying “for our children + grandchildren” the world watched Trump’s goons mow them down. As they fell by the hundreds, the military finally turned on Trump. is that what it will take?
I was federal LEO (I quit). These goons are contract players from all walks: security guards to bounty hunters to God knows who; that's why they hide their faces. No career officer with a conscience would participate in this bullshit. It's not law enforcement, it's legitimized kidnapping
There’s a reason these “ICE” agents look ragtag. They’re nothing more than bounty hunters kidnapping people for money.
Maybe it's Constellis, formerly Blackwater, Erik Princes mercenaries?
Actually, kidnapping is still a crime everywhere, and abduction by masked, unidentified, anonymous individuals is kidnapping.
2/ Self defense is an ancient right and you can legally use deadly force to defend yourself from being forcibly kidnapped. At some point Americans (with their half a billion guns) are going to realize this.
I told my spouse I want industrial size cans of bear spray. I’m just an old white woman, but I need self defense. Forget mace, I want to stop them. Can in my car, in my purse, at the door to my house.
Yup. We have to go out amongst the people (shudder, shake) and get this now. Everyone should keep a can handy. 🐻
I just saw footage of citizens using bear spray against these militia thugs who were trying to round up "illegals." It was glorious.
$45 billion? Try $100 billion.
That’s the thing about creeping authoritarianism - you don’t realise it until it’s too late. Democracy is already a page of US history that has been turned.
Who knows how many of those abducted are just gone. Sold into slavery or trafficked, or worse. Masked men who don’t identify themselves taking people from their homes and off the street, and LE does nothing. Disgusting and disgraceful.
People stand up.
Those complicit in allowing Ice and others to kidnap people off American streets should hang.
Yep. The ICEstapo, if you will.
Lord help us !!
And it doesn't seem to matter how many times you say this. There is nothing else to talk about until it stops.
smack in the middle of nazi dictatorship.
It may not have occurred to you to join the Vanilla ICE fan club, in fact it may seem like the last thing you want to do. But the ICE fan club desperately needs good friendly people like you. Imagine being an insider who could change things for the better, and let the rest of us know about events...
American society: "Well it can't be too bad. " "They're white and it's happening on our continent, in our country." "But if they didn't look like most of us and it was happening in a non G7 country..."
kevin robert's comment about the 2nd american revolution being bloodless if the left allows it, means they are happy to accommodate a civil war they have the army, the cops & every other law enforcement at their behest and they will and are using them already they've laid the bitumen already
And ICE "secret police" are the 16th largest standing army in the world (by funding), ahead of Israel, who is busy fighting 2 wars.
i have a question to all THOSE WHO KNOW THE LAW. CAN WE USE OUR 2ND ADMENDENT RIGHTS TO FIGHT BACK, SINCE WE DON'T KNOW IF THEY ARE LAW ENFORCEMENT. THEY DON'T IDENTIFY THEY WEAR MASK SO WE DON'T KNOW WHO WE ARE DEALING WITH! JUST A SIMPLE QUESTION
Are you kidding? You should learn self defense law.
If you in a stand your ground state yes you can, I mention this to note which neighborhoods they are not knocking down doors in but going to work locations..
If we put hundreds of thousands on the street with the 2a we have a better chance of getting away with stand your ground and save our country plea! Because with that number they will not be able to stop. Also get a shear mask with a different face on it and they won’t be able to id anyone!
Millions is better
You are 💯 percent correct! A few million could put an end to this Nazi regime very swiftly!
I’ve thought a lot about this. And the sad truth is we’d get killed or locked up for sure. Just think about how much more aggressively they pursue a perpetrator who kills on off-duty plain clothed cop. The truth is they are the MAGA party equivalent of the Nazi SS.
The blood of the poor has to be spilled to make believe things can change in a capitalisk sustem, revlt does not change anything throughout histort fack-checks, heads roll but the same heads stays.
Indeed. It sure looks like it will come to this, and there will be a Civil War fought as a result. It will come down to whether Whiskey Pete has successfully purged our armed forces of those in command who won’t support authoritarianism. Because Trump clearly has the support of the paramilitary.
I agree. Republicans are like a psychopath who wants out of a relationship so they engage in unforgivable actions until the other person is forced to break up with them. Then they can turn around and blame the victims for reacting to their betrayal and rally the flying monkeys for sympathy.
Civil war would be more horrendous than anyone can imagine. We should literally break the country up in pieces before that happens.
I’m not advocating for Civil War to be clear. I agree it will be devastating, and as bad as our first one was, another one will be worse. I’m only saying it looks like the direction we are headed. Breaking up the country wouldn’t be clean either, and you’d have displaced citizens in all territories.
There would have to be a ten year agreed on timeframe to let everyone who wanted to move, move. I could see websites for house and business trades appearing.
So many people of both sides simply cannot afford to simply move. Not only that, who wants to leave their home? There is thousands of years of precedent of how this plays out.
I've been saying, the military will support him
My answer: more bullets.
Totally agree - the coup isn’t coming, it is here.
I think we are there. Have been there for a while. It’s here now. IMHO.
Guarantee they’re going to either prevent elections or fix the elections hands-down.
Miami, Florida already canceled this year’s Election for Mayor. Their current mayor is Republican and he is term limited out. They have said the reason was so it would be held on an even year with the General Election. Strange, that for as long as they have been a city it hasn’t been an issue.
⬆️ Pay Attention America!!🇺🇸
We are pretty much ALL the way there. We have our own version of brownshirts on the streets as part of that
We are there
The broader majority is complacent thinking they’re safe because they’re American citizens. Why?
Because they are racist, and they think they're not the race they're going after, and they support going after that other race
Once SCOTUS says that the executive branch can do as it pleases, anybody can have their citizenship revoked and have ICE sicced on them.
Why do you say 'to authoritarianism'? We're not heading there. We are there. The felon-in-chief now has $100B for his own private 'ICE' army full of sociopaths.
And that’s why we need to abolish ice before they get that money invested in tanks and other armored vehicles!
That’s the Celtic cross silly. You just look dumb not being able to tell the difference between that and the Nazi Swastika.
Nathan, Lots of white supremacists use this cross symbol. Example: The Silent Aryan Warriors (SAW) are a large white supremacist gang based in Utah. Look them up.😜

Preach it! This is only the beginning.
No, the beginning happened some years ago during the W. administration. We're already at the stage of concentration camps and gulags. In my mind, it's only time before the Orange Shitgibbon orders the military to attack US citizens.
In posts like this, I always wonder who the "you" is that you have in mind.
I fear you are near the end of the road. Good luck
💯... almost zero speed bumps between now and that.
It's not like we couldn't see this coming on election day. So who are you going to blame?
bsky.app/profile/caju... It gets worse. I can't believe this is real. Omg.
Oh please…
It freaks me out. How come nobody with a national voice is also freaking out? Why isn’t this on CNN 24/7? Are they waiting for the tax breaks to kick in so they can cash in before they speak out or ? No? Yeah, this won’t be fixed until white people of privilege start to suffer… too late right?
I'd say we are just one step from authoritarianism.
I think US is taking that road at high speed - sooner to run out of road.
I agree wholeheartedly. WTH?
When they start whisking US citizens off the street there will be a sudden increase in missing persons reports the local police just won't have the resources to investigate. That's everybody has their cameras to the ready and makes these things go viral every time it happen #ICEstapo walks free.
Maybe you should do it now too…
If I was in the states I'd have my camera and hand at all times. So I am to do what I can which is when I do see something that needs to go viral I retweet it.
It's getting plenty of attention in the UK and Europe.
You’re just realizing this now?
I think we should retire the word "normal." Who cares about normal. Instead, how about .... The fact we have secret police whisking people off the streets doesn’t get enough attention. We are well down the road to authoritarianism. Our government is abducting and disappearing people.
We're not down the road, we're there
When white people start getting disappeared something might happen.
Not a chance. If Sandy Hook taught me anything, it's that not even dead white children are enough to make people do a fucking thing about anything.
I have a feeling it won't be long until that happens, unfortunately.
correct. with their hard-on for blaming trans people for stuff, I feel like that's where it's gonna start. Disappearing the trans people, or really 'suspected' trans person. Maybe LGBTQIA+ in general.
Probably next
Just sickening.
I feel like we're all just sitting ducks. Too many people don't believe it could happen here. I don't think they're paying attention. You'd think Congress, etc, would have some compassion, integrity and Patriotism. But I'm frightened that ship has sailed.
Don't lose hope. There are lots of us out here watching.... waiting....
It's hard to keep up good spirits, for sure. Personally I bounce between absolute rage and dispare to a sort of numbness. But seeing the protests and such does bring some peace and hope.
Keep fighting we need you. "The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice," - MLK
And let’s not forget they just got something like 40x budget in that piece of crap legislation. What does that amount of money focused on a paramilitary even look like?
Kristy gets more costumes?
Checkpoints
oh god
THIS is what really scares the crap out of me.
And expansion is in the near future.
We're along for the ride and have reached that destination.
I say pew pew first and let the coroner sort them out.
Seems like we have reached that destination. The congress handed over its control because they are cowards.
Hopefully the Republicans constituents show them the door at the next election. It will really hit home when they are cut from Medicade and SNAP.
I am very pessimistic about the soul & sense of anybody who still calls themselves a Republican.
And besides all we've said here... WHO ARE THEY?
Ya know, after WWII, the Allied forces drug the Germans through the concentration camps &,made them look at what had been done in their name.Made them see WHO THEY WERE. We'll have to do the same thing here. Shameful.
It's disturbing but they're a tiny slice of our neighbors. Don't let them drown the rest of our voices.
Same energy
💯 %
Disturbing and disgusting. Grinning fools over the idea of human beings kept in such horrendous conditions - and in the middle of hurricane season. Where has our humanity gone?
These specific individuals have had their humanity absorbed by opioids and addiction to cable news.
Fox News is the ring leader. Still spreading their propaganda.
They covered the old green sign? with a Natzi concentration camp sign, meaning, it can be ripped down. 🥳 Someone take a selfie after that happens-
Omg! How low can they go? Pure evil to the core.
To quote Gerry Raffert's song, it's got so many people, but it's got no soul
Yes, indeed. No compassion or mercy either.
And they're so proud of that
So gross
Scum
Scum, of the earth Something you wipe off your shoes.🤮🤮🤮🤮
Cruelty is the point.
They’re absolutely disgusting. Deplorable doesn’t begin to describe them. They’re the heirs of lynch mobs and witch hunters
Right now, you’re circling the block, looking for free parking.
TRUTH‼️
I suspect, America is already lost. The time to tackle the issue was when Ice became a secret police. Protesting is important but limited in effect. Looking from the outside in. The liberal cause looks weak and ineffectual. The next step is not being taken and there is no stomach for it.
National strike to restore Medicaid, Medicare and nutritional assistance? I'm up for it.
There are other ways we can strike too that would grind economic life to a halt: Reproductive strike: just what it sounds like. Dropping out of society as much as we can: buying fewer things from corporations, not going to big events like football games, etc. Tax strike
Some of us are taking it. If you want in, hmu
Sorry lady Tehilah. Not in America Wrong side of the pond.
Maybe you should start your own chapter 🙃
