Now that Trump is going after everyone, people are slowly waking up. That's how it always happens in dictatorships.

I don’t agree with some of his politics but I was not silent. I signed petitions and posted for others to do the same. Because as a Jew I have been educated and reminded my whole life of what happens when people don’t protect ‘others’ and I’m scared to death right now.

notnerb.bsky.social•32 days ago

lol “i don’t agree with some of his politics”. which ones do you agree with?

texanfeminist23.bsky.social•32 days ago

The right for him to participate in protests.

I do believe the country of Israel should coexist with the country of Palestine in a two state solution, which he does not. But that doesn’t mean he loses continual rights. That means we see different solutions to a problem

notnerb.bsky.social•32 days ago

that does not answer my question. donald trump is trash and israel is committing genocide against palestinians. i support justice and peace there are no “both sides”, people have the right to fight back against oppression.

texanfeminist23.bsky.social•31 days ago

I mean that didn’t answer your question either. I addressed the fact that I share his belief in free speech and the right to protest

scott361.bsky.social•31 days ago

Go ahead and pick a fight with someone that is helping because she doesn't pass your purity test!
Sigh . . .

notnerb.bsky.social•31 days ago

lol. who picked a fight? what purity test? i have no influence i just have morals.

chrisjustice01.bsky.social•32 days ago

It was like a week difference. Still, Justice is late. Always the cause of these problems.

grizzlydad.bsky.social•32 days ago

At first they came for…you how it goes.

josephwelchvi.bsky.social•32 days ago

Actually, a lot of folks came to Khalil’s aid immediately and prevented his illegal deportation.
One could argue that bc of how his case went, the administration decided not to telegraph their move to illegally deport those people to El Salvador.
Don’t undermine the people doing the heavy lifting.

tripperday.bsky.social•32 days ago

Thank you for this.

erickbt.bsky.social•32 days ago

America’s activism is narcoleptic

grandmabluelove.bsky.social•32 days ago

People weren’t silent.

lurkeyloo.bsky.social•32 days ago

I just think it's kind of bananas to see him actually menace people with deportation & imprisonment regardless of their status or if a crime was committed. In the case of the campus protesters, no crime was committed. In terms of the dealerships, it's not normally a trip to a black site essentially.

jskplay.bsky.social•32 days ago

Word…

hillwomans.bsky.social•32 days ago

Yup. They will come for everyone sooner or later! Some will never wake up.

rhombusticks.bsky.social•32 days ago

Its gross

klaaskid8.bsky.social•32 days ago

But then again, many of us were/are horrified.

juliesubrin.bsky.social•32 days ago

A lot of folks made a lot of noise since he was first arrested/abducted.

tmaef.bsky.social•32 days ago

And the fact it happened in fucking Mamou La which is not far from me. Enrages the fuck out of me. And Louisianans are still backing it up. There is just a constant internal scream I have.

marthawt.bsky.social•32 days ago

For many, it took the pretty white Canadian actress for them to realize this leopard can eat ANYONE’s face.

abbylynn55.bsky.social•32 days ago

There is a new case against Khalil in LA

arcticfox87.bsky.social•32 days ago

I was not silent!
I support Palestine!
I support Mahmoud Khalil!

tightcircles.bsky.social•32 days ago

Wait…who is he going after now? What did I miss?

desikarma.bsky.social•32 days ago

I believe it’s Cubans, Haitians….

thisisjoylps.bsky.social•32 days ago

This.

merri24.bsky.social•32 days ago

A few of us were screaming at the rooftops. I’m glad others are waking up. I’m sorry it’s at the expense of more innocent people being stripped of the rights & sold into slavery via this regime.

tripperday.bsky.social•32 days ago

People were watching the legal horse race when he was detained and the same with deportations to El Salvador. Now it’s sinking for people

candylovely.bsky.social•32 days ago

Again, Where is your anger towards Trump? didn't he do this?

tom2050.bsky.social•32 days ago

minnytrooster.bsky.social•32 days ago

I've been alarmed since he stuck kids in cages and against him my whole damn life.

villagegenius.bsky.social•32 days ago

Let’s hope it’s not too late.

chicagoray.bsky.social•32 days ago

you ain't wrong but it's worth noting Palestinian activists in the US helped get Trump elected.

desikarma.bsky.social•32 days ago

I agree with you. My family and I donate to a couple of Gaza relief organizations. I’m doing my part.

I believe some of the activities are plants and chaos agents. They are extremely aggressive and vicious. They add you to lists and block you immediately. They’re not helping the cause.

buck2wheat.bsky.social•31 days ago

The people weren’t. Our elected officials are just waking up—now.

whirlwindhelp.bsky.social•32 days ago

I have had it pinned on my page for months that human trafficking was a major goal of the Trump admin/BRICS nations. All so they can grave rob us and enslave us for fucking money, gold, oil, a better financial position in the BRICS currency.

whirlwindhelp.bsky.social•32 days ago

Massive online disinfo networks put forth by BRICS to confuse people. @jamellebouie.net on TikTok just had a video where he had to explain that SEGREGATION COMING BACK IS BAD. People are being profoundly mislead to their extreme detriment

joshdsw.bsky.social•32 days ago

Don’t know your somewhat passive aggressive comment is appropriate. Too broad brush and these developments are, what, two weeks apart?

korkie.bsky.social•32 days ago

Feels like 2 months...

dann1960.bsky.social•32 days ago

✔️

lestatdelc.bsky.social•32 days ago

Bad take.

Most of us have been screaming about it from the get go, and they haven't gone after "me" yet.

drag0nl4dy.bsky.social•31 days ago

My question is, when will enough people wake up to really be considered "shits hit the fan" status?

moderatejerk.bsky.social•32 days ago

Yup. It’s a shame this is such a selfish country that people don’t care until they’re in the crosshairs.

Then again, maybe that’s not just a US thing.

broccolee.bsky.social•32 days ago

to be clear - once Trump goes after WHITE and OLD WHITE people is when this full of racist assholes start noticing

korkie.bsky.social•32 days ago

We have not been silent. And we have been observant. And did you hear from Reuters about how none of the 200 abductees are Tren del Aguara?

Now, tell us and give us a picture of your cats.
