Federal employee for 40 years here. We take an oath to defend the constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic. We all know it by heart, but I fear you are right. I’ll let you know when that oath changes, as it almost certainly will… and then we are well and fucked, my friend.
Probably too hard a read for most people, but “The Coming of the Third Reich” is essential reading to understand the psyche of how a large nation allowed Nazis to flourish and assume power. This, and “A People’s History of the United States” by Howard Zinn (whose class I took at Boston University).
He is requesting volunteers from military and border patrol to Join the Mass Deportation Goons! Must swear loyalty and then are promised pardons for any bad? Or immunity?
Texas Ground Zero for Million man, million Women and million kid concentration camps to deport? Sure that will work? Not! Wtf! 🤬
Is there any legal difference between placing your hand on a bible or just holding one hand up and the other to your side…when swearing an oath to uphold the constitution?
“Unbelievable, yet the metastasis of White Nationalism is now the ‘fascist purification of Our Democracy!’ This is our media meltdown, spinning back to the darkest times in history! A pitiful segment of our society, ignorant, flammable and corrupted by political ideology!” @washingtonpost.com
They are already going door to door here in Boston , to drag people out of their homes and stationed outside of a Worchester Supermarket to arrest people at work…
Already arrived, no doubt. Anyone who thinks they haven't already held secret oath-swearing ceremonies (and not just to Trump, but also kkkristofascist bullshit like Ziklag, etc.), is not paying attention.
What’s worse: the Hitler Oath had a civil service version as well. Less well known but applied across the scope of the German government with the same force of law.
I wouldn’t be surprised if they come up with a legal interpretation of the standard oath of office all government workers take.
I swear George I have been trying to tell people about Trump‘s love of Hitler since he said he was gonna run in 2015. Nobody would listen people rolled their eyes. I freaking knew it.
I’ve said it for s long time but people didn’t believe me. As a German I know about the dark history of my country. Most Americans are ignorant about history or government in general. At least my 34 year old son is smart enough not to follow the Magas! He has read a lot of history books.
My written English was better than a lot of Americans when I attended Cameron university in Lawton, OK! Everyone had to write an on the spot essay in order to take English Comp. 1, a lot of Americans had to take basic English and I was able to take English Comp. 1 . My English teacher told me this.
It’s the lack of education regarding history in high school. Football & basketball are more important than history and American government. My German high school diploma (9 years) is worth more than the 11 years here in the USA. I was able to attend university with my German 9 year high school.
Speaking as a Brit - I'm surprised that no one has pointed out the great WW2 contradiction... How would Maga/Musk supporters explain themselves to US veterans who fought against Fascism 1.0? I'd genuinely like to hear it.
My uncle was a genuine war hero in WW2 as a tank commander under Patton. I am grateful that he is no longer with us, as he would would be driven mad by the current spectacle.
I got an email today Tell ng me I have 10 days to point out people in my agency that are doing DEI work but calling it something else. They want me to report them....um....
How about if President Musk has a problem with something they do their own investigations, not rely on betrayal or snitches .
Now you have somebody in the White House right next to Trump controlling Trump giving a Nazi salute. Does the general population of the US not understand the implications of this? This was done on national TV on world TV. The world was watching. Musk did it fearlessly. He did it twice. He meant it.
Always fun seeing these. We get it- we saw it, we know what it was and we know he meant it, but what exactly are you implying the general US population, now with less money and power than ever, can and should do about it? Feel free to ask your govt nicely to send in troops.
Is the general population of US clueless? Do they understand what the hell is coming down the road? Or do they just want to wake up every morning go get their lattes and try and figure out which bars they'll hang out on Friday night and Saturday night? Do people not know what a Nazi salute means?
I absolutely agree with you. These are very rich and powerful oligarchs like MUSK will do everything they can to stay in power. This includes subverting all incoming elections in every which way they can. Whether it's 2026 or 2028. They will notleave this power that they have now acquired.
I’m completely freaked out. I don’t know what to do about it, honestly. I did not vote for this. Without my social security which I paid into my entire working life and that they want to take, retirement will be impossible.
Yep saw this and shared this already actually. None of this will stop a maga paramilitary from doing the admin’s bidding, nor stop them from say, starting a war, or something like that. But yes, local level work is very important.
I think the immigration round ups may prompt countries like mine to prepare for refugees. And I’m betting members of the UN are already working on plans for the worst.
Bc they have Ukraine and Russia on their doorsteps
Cont- and we could use some empathy and understanding that there are still millions of us that believe in the Constitution, believe that diversity is strength and believe in a civil society of respect.
It's not just the people in the US that didn't vote for him that are in shock and it's very hard to get over. It's the rest of the people in the world as well. Everybody is now threatened by the orange bastard. Yes we all say that we will go on but it is very very difficult to do that.
Yeah, imagine how we feel, if all ya’ll are freaked out about it! Y’know Musk is going to try this sh*t in many other countries, not just the US. He fancies himself the king of the world and backing the felon in chief was just a means to an end.
No matter what it said it is extremely difficult to believe that 78 million people were bamboozled by Trump. Yes his MAGA base will always work for him. But there were other people that got bamboozled and voted for him and made him win. His incessant lying and the failure of MSM partly led to this.
Cont. so now that the rest of the world is sitting back with their bag of popcorn and watching this sh*tshow start, what are all ya’ll gonna do to help those of us that did not and do not want this? We voted against it and yet here we are.
Cont. He had many supporters outside of Germany. There was a Nazi rally at Madison Square Garden in the 30s. Wallis Simpson and former Royal Edward were sympathizers. I will never understand those that hold so much hate in their hearts because I’m not like that, but many people do ( Cont)
Cont- might start in the US, but it won’t end here. These billionaires just want more money than they’ll ever spend and they’ll enable any leader that will help them get it. We still wonder how all those Germans went along with Hitler, but remember Cont
There’s more to it than just this. This is something the repugnatant party has been planning as far back as the 80s. Go to LED By Donkeys page and watch their latest video about Musk. He’s trying to enable the same thing in Europe. Take a look at the first row at the inauguration. Cont
Cont-Because wages have stagnated and everything costs so much, healthcare is linked to employment and many other reasons, it makes it harder to just hit the streets in protest. Many of us are feeling pretty despondent, powerless, anxious and scared right now. Cont
Cont- when right wing billionaires own many and most of the news outlets and social media outlets, and employ brainwashing techniques, people lose their common sense. I’m not one of them, and I can’t myself understand how people don’t realize the lies they spout is BS. Cont
Many of us do. Many of us DID NOT vote for the felon in chief. His “popular vote” win this time was by only 1.5 percent. He lost the popular vote in 2016. The fact that he would get elected a second time baffles me. BUT, when right wing billionaires control much of the news- cont
Also, I find it interesting that they are going to continue to pay and still provide benefits to people from DEI offices who are placed on administrative leave even tho they are not going to be allowed to work or even come to the office.
How exactly is that going to save the taxpayers money?
Gives me the creeps, but you are absolutely right. American Nazis have taken over the government displaying their fealty to their Dear Orange Führer every minute of the day now.
I will never forget Trump's first televised cabinet meeting. Before the meeting began, everyone who was sitting around the table had to sing Trump's praises and give thanks to him. It looked as though Kim Jong Un himself was holding the meeting.
The reichstag is going to burn soon. As soon as the critical mass of magats start to become sentient and realize they fucked up. The reichstag will burn. Count on it.

It seems very simple to me. Americans DO NOT support Nazis, we support America and our Jewish communities. We DO NOT back anyone spitting on 400k graves by flying a nazi salute. Ban this MF from DC, ban him from U.S. politics. If we don't have the balls to execute him in the streets, deport him.
Trump pardoned leaders of the white supremacist, rabidly anti-Semitic terrorist group the Proud Boys - their motto “6MWE” — which stands for “6 Million Wasn't Enough.” Referring to the Holocaust.
https://youtu.be/KmRlGWVVjZ8?si=D0QzcWDzTus2tvKp
Trump says he authorized 10,000 troops to Capitol…why would he do that if it was peaceful? He just admitted it was not peaceful. And he pardoned the criminals. SHARE!!!
Yep. Remember how Kumquat Pol Pot wanted SO VERY MUCH to have a big Military Parade? I'm not religious at all, but there are SOME decent quotes from the Bible, like: “For they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind." If those GOP ass-hats had just convicted him ...
I, for one, am still highly suspicious of the last election count. Too many too-partisan Election Officials in Red states. We saw the enthusiasm for Harris/Walz, the increased Dem. voter registrations, tRump's cognitive decline AND his rally crowds decline. Yet he got more votes than Biden 2020?
Facts! It makes you wonder about the content of character in this country. Especially for me as a black person. Agreeing with his blatant racism and lack of curiosity about anything important to the betterment of this country. How many people out here are just like him?
Reaping what they sow also means they'll have the evil they put out to others come back on themselves. As witches like myself sometimes say... it'll come back threefold.
The look of disgust they both carry on their Face is similar. There’s something deep rooted and pathological about it. I’m no psychiatrist but kindness is 100% missing from these two faces. Folks know this is not normal and they ignored it.
He didn’t rise to this level without help.
The turner dairies depicted this also and we’ve let this happen. It won’t be long till these traitors loose their shit, so be ready. Boycott all maga corporations and churches.
Well, as we see in Trump's picks for government positions, LOYALTY not competency for America's well-being, but the unspoken OATH to whom they serve w/o saying, Heil Trump to their Fruher!
"Ich schwöre bei Gott diesen heiligen Eid,
daß ich dem Führer des Deutschen Reiches und Volkes
Adolf Hitler, dem Oberbefehlshaber der Wehrmacht,
unbedingten Gehorsam leisten und als tapferer Soldat bereit sein will, jederzeit für diesen Eid mein Leben einzusetzen."
We’re going to have to do it ourselves and why shouldn’t we have to? Why should it be the other guy’s responsibility? That’s half the reason we’re in this mess. Millions of people sat the vote out because they were either too lazy or completely indifferent to their own survival.
My father told me that Americans were just as anti-semitic as Europe. It was the bombing of Pearl Harbor that incensed them. If another country tries to invade, only then will they care, but they will still support the orange guy. This will be a new history.
From Trump, 2016: "If I say do it, they're going to do it. That's what leadership is all about. . . They won't refuse. They're not going to refuse me."
Here’s the chaser: BOLO

Why is it that my dead father could see this was where Republicans were headed when he warned me about them in 1981, but the people who have SEEN all the recent Republican history refuse to?
I cannot understand why Republicans who claim to be decent people won’t just -stop-.
Are you not ashamed?
I wonder how long before all these idiot MAGATs who voted for him will start to realize what is happening. We tried to tell them, but of course, they are all experts & wouldn't listen. They believed a fucking liar, con man, rapist, racist, narcissist. Like my stupid cousin in Virginia.
I'd bet on that happening over any observance of Black History Month. Actually, I'd bet on that happening over virtually anything. Looking forward to his gaudy. gold. "admiral" get up though.
Psst... @gtconway.bsky.social , it was your wife and your support who helped bring this to fruition. But, but, but... does not excuse republican support 2016 and prior. Y'all knew what you were shooting for...
Is there a historian that has looked at the parallels between Trump and Hitler. I am seeing more and more things.
Lebensraum- Greenland and Panama?
Both felons, insurrectionists
Goebbels- Stephen Miller
Mass deportation
Used hate to divide
Etc
You should follow Heather Cox Richardson. She is a Constitutional Historian who writes a daily letter to the American people. She ties in History to present day events. You can sign up on her website.
All what Trump and his cronies are doing is straight out of Hitler’s play book. The “oath keepers” and “Proud Boys” are going to be our SA…I can see that Trump will require all federal employees, including the military leadership, to swear an oath of allegiance to him or be fired. You are so right!
It's so realistic that it's not even funny anymore.
Rather than post past fyck ups. Let's post n talk about what we can do to move out of the dark and back into the light.
USDA employees already got an email to report any one who changed their position description or contract language to show the they were not working for any diversity, equity, inclusion, or accessibility job or contract. Beobachten und Berichten! Observe and report like the old German posters

I wouldn’t be surprised if they come up with a legal interpretation of the standard oath of office all government workers take.

And no, I am not going to give a 'heart' for this either.
Seems to not be very appropriate in this case.

Don’t bother to say who you voted focus on the concern that faces ALL Americans like you
