If you think what happened to Rumeysa Ozturk can't happen to you because you're a citizen and she's not, you are sorely mistaken. Ozturk was snatched off the street not for being a national security threat but for having a wrong opinion. If we don't put a stop to this, it's coming for all of us.

They do not care about freedoms and rights, unless it is their own.
History Repeats itself in Stupidity.
But her arrest is a disgrace, a stain upon you nation and must be utterly cried down, protested and undone.
white people tend to act like it's not their problem but no one is safe in this administration.
And
I believe they’ve already came for us when they grabbed Ms. Ozturk and the others.
Hands on deck Nov5th making sure Trump never got back into Power.
Tell me how to organize 150 million people across a quarter of the globe into an effective protest?
He WILL allow ‘free speech’… Only the ‘free speech’ that is complimentary TO HIM. 😠

But Btw Trump is only a puppet.

Then they came for me-and there was no one left to speak for me."
Pastor Martin Niemöller, imprisoned in Sachsenhausen and Dachau concentration camps from 1938 to 1945
"First 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.

Stop them now before it's too late
Hear the words of Paster Niemöller
Then they came for me and there was no one left to speak for me"
There name's changed to GOP, but the evil is exactly the same

I shit you not
In simple terms, "authoritarian" means someone or something that demands strict obedience and control, suppressing individual freedom and dissent, often favoring a strong, centralized power structure.
This is Trump’s America.
This can happen to anyone in America: citizen, permanent resident, visa holder, or tourist. Call your representatives to let them know this is wrong.
If they can do this to permanent residents they can do this to you.
Showing your papers might not even protect you.
Because these thugs don’t respect the law.
If we don’t speak up and fight we will not just lose our freedoms but our lives as well
papers with letters to the editor.
This is what freedom of speech being under attack looks like!
To Rumeysa Ozturk and Her Supporters,
Where are you, Rumeysa? Where are we right now, in this moment of disbelief? Where are we as you fight to understand American freedom? It’s time to stand up, not just for you, but for ourselves. Where is our courage, America? Where is Rumeysa?

I have no doubt that’s coming.
But Kamala didn’t say she’d trash our entire Middle East spy network and of course she’s a black woman. So here we are
Nice job, everybody. 🇺🇸
There are other pro israel groups who are implicitly or explicitely cheering this on. Hillel on Campus is one.
And I'm sure they'll take it very seriously. /s
Eventually we may need to tear down the prison
So when you remove the liberals, and immigrants, and black people, they still have to find someone to hate & remove.
No matter who or what you are, eventually, they will come for you.
Media: complying in advance
AGs/lawsuits: winning in court but the Regime is violating orders.

Not lost is the fact that it’s bullying and intimidation of women.
Note: This was not Boston. I believe it was Somerville.
Bluesky could do something about it, they just won't.
"More than 300 foreign students have had their student visas revoked in the three weeks "Catch and Revoke" has been in operation, the official said. There are 1.5 million student visa-holders nationwide."

When you live in an independent survival instinct rural mindset

That country is going down the drain.
They aren’t bothering folks with guns. They are arresting college students.
That’s how you know it’s bullshit. They aren’t going after actual gang members
Correct, they wouldn't dare go after an organised community.
*truthfully it’s b/c they secretly are hoping they’ll get to raise those arms against “other” citizens they don’t like alongside their blessed regime.
a dictator can’t allow an armed populace to stand.
Right now, we're just waiting to see when we hit that point.
Self experimentation is fun! 😒
NATIONAL DAY OF ACTION - SATURDAY, APRIL 5
========================================
💙 Show up!
💙 Make signs!
💙 Bring friends!
💙 Alert local media!
💙 And keep up the boycotts!
Nation wide protest April 5th https://www.fiftyfifty.one
It needs to be done!
It will be done!
These are Trump’s guardian angels.
We need millions more like AJ J! 🌹
Saw this today....about FL6 (Mike Walz's vacated seat). Current polling from DJT's own pollster shows Dems at 44%, Repub at 41%.
After Walz won re-election 66 to 33 last fall. and DJT won handily.
They are FOOKED!
Not as a call for violence. Never that.
But to get a sense for what is to come from the government.
Firefly for context, Serenity for the "Okay, that's f*ed."

We need to expedite this møvemént, we need to get cohesive and act with more urgency. Please spread the word.
But this regime wins full stop if we give up to fear & surrender in advance. The way I see it, we have to be willing to put ourselves on the line now. Otherwise, they will have their way with us anyway down the line.
As Trump admin illegally curbs basic Due Process, Repub Senators submit bills decreeing POTUS (ie Trump) can declare anyone a threat, and w/o Due Process send then to a foreign nation's torture prisons

Do not ask for whom the bell tolls. It tolls for thee.
It’s the opinion that she holds, that we hold hat will get us arrested.
So it’s thought. Arrestable thought.
Quite literally no one is safe.
If you’re an outspoken critic of Don-boy, then watch out.

A dictator is running America.
Take to the streets.
The stories they told us, were so violently horrifying, I still get upset about today.
Think the El Salvadoran prison’s bad? Their stories of torture and systematic rape would stun you.
The dropping people out of helicopters hasn’t started…yet!
The dice has been rolled. We’ll adjust.
Everyone is a tatget.
I did ask the office of @golden.house.gov why he hasn’t been out front & fighting, as people’s civil liberties are stripped. End
I’m not looking for that but I’m done being polite.
I've been trying to shout from the rooftops that overturning this would put *anyone* born in the U.S. in jeopardy of losing their citizenship, not just the children of immigrants.
Sorry, we Canadians just wish we could do more than boycott, protest & sign petitions. As I'm sure the rest of the Democratic world feels.
works as designed, as intended.
apparently, historical documentation, books, film education, doesn't cure us: we're still just human.
vulnerable to the same old obvious plays. even if spelled out in large letters for everyone.
b) Democrats back the Democrat. Deal with it or raise your own money.
Trumplicans are whittling away our protections using the authoritarian rubber stamp called “National Security”.

I know i’ll lose, but maybe i’ll take a few Nazi’s down with me.
Then again, it’s possible that Putin is hands-on here as well.
And they respond, “Sure—but not our kind of American.”
Sounds like dystopian fiction, right?
A Black Mirror episode written by Orwell’s ghost?

I guess that makes us a . . .
600 pages of what is happening exactly as written over 70 years ago.
I didn't need the fear of detention to keep me from wanting to visit the Un-United States
But then I'm Canadian. You'll understand.
There is nothing non-violent about non-violent resistance. It means bowing your head, taking the blows, shedding your blood, and letting the world see the evil of the oppressor.
Why do protests fail? Mostly, because people are protesting against something, but ask for what they want. Also, they fail because people give up and get tired of fighting.
Are you protesting against oligarchs, or for changes in tax laws?
Are you protesting the killing of people in Gaza, or asking for a two state solution?
Are you protesting against Musk, or are you asking for your constitution rights to be protected?
There is an interesting program there called the "Oregon Remembrance Project" I learned about recently. It was founded to specifically teach about Oregon's history of racial injustice.
We have to STOP thinking under normal conditions.
It’s amazing how there are always enough fellow citizens willing to participate in these horrors.
When we all speak with the same message we can not be denied
