This is just a start of their viciousness. If we don't stop them by making this admin a lame duck, there is no telling how much further they will go. PLESE, get out & vote.
Its frightening isnt it, just how far dumpty and his sycophants and blind followers are pushing all the boundaries. We dont live in a free country anymore. We live in a tightly controlled police state with the illusion of freedom. Do whatever you can to fight this. Get out and vote, write your reps and senators. Make yourself heard, just be safe doing it.
Richard, I appreciate your kind words but there is a breaking point. I'm getting to that point where I will be defiant and by expressing myself in such a way to send that message all the way up to the very top. Loud and clearly!
I am fed up like every American should be. There comes a time.... Kent State was one such turning point for so many in my generation
This now has evolved to be far worse.. Opposition expressed with threats by retaliation is sometimes the only way to send that in a way they'll understand. Every male in my family for the last three generations has served in uniform swearing to the Oath to protect and defend our Constitution. My radical words are to that defense of our Constitution. There comes a time....
Goon Death Squads acting under the cover of authority of one man who tonight will unleash more such anti American depravity on the populace, and thus, it can not be allowed to continue.
Richard, you are not too far away from one of the greater fighters in the Revolutionary War, Francis Marion, the Swamp Fox. His tactical sense worked wonders for the defense of South Carolina. There is your organizational model.
I've never passed through on I-95 when I didn't think of him as I traversed the Pee Dee region, Marion County, or further south at Lake Marion.
Trump's regime is a departure from any previous American administration. The objective is NOT to build on anything which existed before, but to tear it all down: civil rights, consumer protections, legal frameworks, medical insurance, scientific advances - to turn the clock backwards towards the dream of a racially pure, misogynistic society dominated by obscene wealth.
Each time I read an article such as this written by you, I remember this poem. I employed the translation made by Wikipedia, I know not many people here understand German.
What I think will be most effective is for older white people like me to practice nonviolent civil disobedience and get arrested in large numbers. They will risk having violence inflicted on them. But it also can shape events the way it did during the civil rights era.
There comes a time in one’s life when the realisation hits like a lightning bolt that not everyone has the same moral compass, conscience, compassion as oneself . We go through life thinking the majority are rational, fair minded , altruistic and want the best for everyone. That is a fatal Mistake . It causes more harm than good . Narcissism is a growth industry, enabled and nourished by the “me”psychology . It encourages bullies in the work place to seek promotion, because their traits are seen as leadership material , they emulate those who have also succeeded before them by their malevolent behaviour.
It is said that Women first rapidly assess a man in terms of his potential to be a husband, based on what he reveals about himself with regard to stability and safety in a relationship with a woman.
Why then have so many women abandoned their rationality when it comes to Trump. It is of course not just Women , but the men who voted for Trump have an inferiority complex. What do women see in a convicted felon, an adjudicated rapist and an alleged paedophile . Which brings me back to the first point . We cannot assume anyone whether male or female has the same moral compass as ourselves .

More cornered rats than lame ducks. Beware.

Fuck safety. Be brave. Fuck up the ICE goon death squad before they kill us..
It's time to get radical.
Mike — I understand your anger and frustration…. But the danger here is you (or I ) will be arrested, incarcerated and disappeared 👻…
Radical — yes
Oppose — yes
Protest — yes
When and how to intervene is the question
I’ve seen no ICE here where I live in Charleston area… maybe Lascivious Lindsey kept them away???

This is that breaking point.
Yes, Mike —We’re at the cusp of rebellion….
My problem is when and how this will activate.
How many more Alex Pretti
How many more Rene Good
How many more Johan Sebastián Durán Guerrero
How many more Lorenzo Salgado Araujo
How many more ….
Illegally incarcerated
Illegally deported
Illegally disappeared
Assaulted
Brutalized
Traumatized
Stigmatized
1000s rounded up
No due process
We protest — once a month / once a week / politely in the parks and on the sidewalks — sometimes filling entire city squares.
All good
But not enough
Shut ICE down!
Defund ICE
But how can we do this with the REPUGNANTCUNTS in charge?
We can (try to?) vote them out in November— but they won’t be seated until January….
By then how many more will be captured and how many more will die?
We need to organize a real resistance.

Yup …. Good ol’ swamp fox. He sure scuttled them Brits! Nm(and Hessians too?)
Anyhow — we’re going to have to become guerrillas for democracy…

The time to ACT is NOW!

First they came for the Communists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Communist
Then they came for the Socialists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Socialist
Then they came for the trade unionists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a trade unionist
Then they came for the Jews
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Jew
Then they came for me
And there was no one left
To speak out for me
Yes Rosa Maria — this is only too apt for our current situation….
TRUTH all the way Richard. And all we can hope is that in the future we put people into office to reverse all the mess that they've caused!
What I think will be most effective is for older white people like me to practice nonviolent civil disobedience and get arrested in large numbers. They will risk having violence inflicted on them. But it also can shape events the way it did during the civil rights era.
If you, we, I, want it to stop?
Start putting up signs proclaiming the following:
Bounty paid for ears scalped from dead ICE goons.
ICE is a Death Squad under Trump. Snipers needed.
THIS IS YOUR SECOND AMENDMENT DUTY TO STOP THEM.
We need a FUCK ICE campaign !
They are the brown shirts and the SS of today….
We need FUCK OFF ICE flash mobs.
How to organize?
It's got to be FUCK/ ABOLISH ICE J6 RABID THUGS AND their OWNERS.
How to get EVERYONE together, protesting in shifts. There are so many more of us!
Restack as needed.

Unfortunately— some like Donnie J. Trumphuk have NO moral compass…
Which gives 68 million ( 20% of the population) functionally illiterate Americans permission to abandon theirs too .
