They’re basically American nazis.

In today's Guardian there is a powerful and thought provoking piece examining the link thread from Waco to Timothy McVeigh and the Oklahoma bombing to Jan 6 and MAGA. Disturbing.

You should see what they are doing to foreign students

I have just been watching a Robert Reich video about this very subject. He sometimes writes in the Guardian over here.

I have seen reports of visitors to the US having their phones checked for anti-Trump content. Ireland has issued a travel guidance warning for students

All of Europe has. Seen the British guy with the tattoo of his daughters birth which is now being used as an example of gang membership

I saw this guy was on the BBC evening news last week.

He's considering cancelling his holiday to Miami later this year

If he goes and they turn him away which is highly possible he will lose all his money.
Even Richard Madeley complained about going thro US security!!!

The far right is a christo-fascist cult. The police and the military are a cult. All serving and upholding the cult of white patriarchy. This is what we’re up against. 😭 Hope this helps 🫠

Over here in England, Johnson's government tried to introduce a policy of deporting asylum seekers to Rwanda.
It never happened as lawyers appealed to the Supreme Court who ruled it as unlawful, before they tried to amend it.
Starmer's Labour dropped it immediately after being elected last year

Someone I used to be friends with is an ICE Agent. He was one of the most vile and racist people I've ever met. Ex marine turned cop, turned ICE. When he got back from Iraq in 04 he would walk up to Arabic people at bars/clubs and knock them out. He finally got jumped & we watched it and left him.

I had never heard of ICE until only recently. It sounds like a militia like they had in Syria or someplace like that.
They are literally rounding people up and kidnapping them to a gulag

In 3 months this country just went back to what our grandparents and great grandparents fought for. The fact everyone is afraid to speak out in Trumps circle is baffling. They need to get together and the real Republicans if there are any left, and change the narrative..it's already too late.

Let me rephrase that. I'm not 100% sure he is ICE. I am 100% that he was part of a big sting a few weeks ago which ended up being like 25 sent back. Whats wild is these aren't criminals. They're actually people here to work at farms and landscape companies. Honestly our best workers! It's criminal
