The Washington Post endorsed Palmer: "There is no time to waste on hairsplitting over infringement of liberty."

I suspect we will see government sanctioned attacks on unions be commonplace if they are not stopped soon. This is and was always class and labor war. Any excuse to stomp poorer classes back down to serfdom.

I get the feeling a lot of anarchists and socialists might be up for a free flight out of there... sometimes I wonder if a white Xtian ethnostate isn't such a bad idea... a kind of reverse reserve. With big fences...

symbo1ics.bsky.social•16 hours ago

I don't think 300m ppl who have nothing to do with a "Christian ethnostate" deserve to live under fascism for one minute just because a handful of failed, cruel little ppl want it.

Not one single person deserves that.

+the flights are to torture &death. And soon they won't bother with flights.

manxinwales.bsky.social•8 hours ago

Sorry, I was being flippant and suggesting we just fence in the fascists together and let them fight it out, not all of America.

symbo1ics.bsky.social•8 hours ago

if only we could

rondomane.bsky.social•16 hours ago

The "Free flights" aren't to our choosing. They're to El Salvadoran black sites. I assume the activities there are forced labor and torture.

thelaststraw.bsky.social•21 hours ago

The only Red Scares that we need to pay the closest attention to are the ones that action like this or imprisonment was taken. We're close.

And with the bill making "Trump Derangement Syndrome" and imprisonable mental condition, we should be worried a lot rn.

3. Intelpro Vietnam War
4. Post 9/11
5. Now.

There is always a war and the Red Scares are alway peripheral to the wars.

I don't think it ever ended, really. They just changed the magic word from "communism" to "socialism".

guess where Trump learned everything he knows?

and who helped start the commie witch hunts?

thetattooedprof.bsky.social•22 hours ago

Honestly, it feels like the times we haven't been in a red-scare-type environment are the abberation from a 105-year norm

criminalerin.bsky.social•23 hours ago

The Smith Act, used during the Second Red Scare to jail, communists for literally just saying America sucks, was never repealed and is still on the books and you better believe the Stevens Miller & Bannon know all this history very well

It’s funny they’re calling it forgotten. Sounds like projection. I didn’t forget it, did you?

criminalerin.bsky.social•23 hours ago

Not trying to chill any speech here like I think it should be legal to say "Death to America" but like we really don't have a legal right to say we want revolution with laws like this & a government like this

It's not J Edgar's FBI anymore

It's something worse

Once again begrudgingly imploring everyone to read if not theory then history

aiiswizardofoz.bsky.social•22 hours ago

The only way to prevent ICE from taking more people from the streets is to have at least NY state level /multi-state sanctioned orders/officers to block them. I can't think of any way around it-Texas did this in reverse to Biden's Border Feds. Nothing else is stopping this fascist movement.

thelaststraw.bsky.social•21 hours ago

I think the most effective way to make ICE know they aren't welcome is the Philly way. (Allegedly was accident not an act of neighborly love. Allegedly.)

Things on fire is usually a good deterrent.

"Tried to deport it's radicals..."? I think they did a fairly decent job of it, while driving the remainder underground. The #1 Hollywood ratfuck during the McCarthy/Red Scare 2.0 was elected US president.

Hi @criminalerin.bsky.social. I wrote a book about this subject that might interest you. https://www.hup.harvard.edu/books/9780674292352

And, thank you for your interest in this very important history!

criminalerin.bsky.social•21 hours ago

I sure hope it remains history; already got to relive cointelpro in 2020 and really really don't want to see what happens during another full throated red scare
