All the Latinos who voted for him are at the FO stage.

Lee Zeldin for EPA administrator makes it all very real to me

the28thamendment.bsky.social•104 days ago

The attempt to capture 15 million people is going to be freaking terrifying. They think it’s going to be clean. What has that bumbling fool ever done that wasn’t messy as hell. I’m staying inside.

Also, musk has openly "suggested" certain policies that are straight out of P2025. And the new border czar was a contributor. #IToldYouSo is my new mantra for the next 4 yrs 🤨

colleen-is-retired.bsky.social•103 days ago

Then we will hear about how no one wants to work any more.

mfaulkner.bsky.social•103 days ago

He’s already named two hardliners to carry this out. Even if states resist, this will not end well.

raspberrywoof.bsky.social•104 days ago

His speech on election night literally ended with him saying "promises made promises kept" after expressly campaigning on hatred. He really didn't campaign on the economy, he campaigned on hating trans people and migrants.

So yeah... Absolutely correct. There's no way he doesn't try.

johnergyhealing.bsky.social•104 days ago

He will start in blue states too. Trying to terrorize us all into submission. The day after the election, stocks rose in detention facilities.
They detained people last time & over 70 million ppl said, I want more of that. 🤦🏻‍♂️

atransparentsoul.bsky.social•104 days ago

Blue states don’t mess around.

johnergyhealing.bsky.social•104 days ago

Let’s hope. I truly hope they’re preparing.

atransparentsoul.bsky.social•104 days ago

All the threats Orange turd threw at Calif last time? At much as he went after Oregon and Washington states? Yes he is planning vengeance. On a positive note, he is frail. We really need to address JD.

johnergyhealing.bsky.social•104 days ago

Yes. The threats to Pelosi, Schiff & then running against Kamala & SF is constantly trashed, I expect we’ll be high on the list.

atransparentsoul.bsky.social•104 days ago

Canada is willing to take any political refugees. Then I see Ukrainian president Zelenskyy and I think “damn, he didn’t run away”

lcogginz.bsky.social•104 days ago

There will be so many companies that cash in on hate.

mhkmhk.bsky.social•104 days ago

I'm nervous for my kid's classmates. She's in the ESL magnet school for the district. I don't know how many would be at risk.

owlofthenorth.bsky.social•104 days ago

I suspect that they'll stop when they run out of prisoners who they can force to harvest the nation's crops. I could be wrong, though.

taliesinwho.bsky.social•104 days ago

They will pass a national abortion ban by the end of July. They'll make it seem like a compromise.

shechemist.bsky.social•104 days ago

They don’t! The same people who complain about ‘no one wants to work anymore’ wants to deport millions of people who are working and paying taxes. Racism is a hell of a thing.

worldcitizen1994.bsky.social•104 days ago

It will get very, very ugly. I know the term "civil war" gets bandied around quite a bit, but it's not impossible that if trump and his henchmen truly start doing this, our nation may enter into one (which is the *last* thing we need). Elections have consequences, as the saying goes.

schlonnaschlouisee.bsky.social•104 days ago

I reposted with comment. I’m still so angry. I wouldn’t do anything but I feel this agitation. I love your work and your account.

bryanmepstein.bsky.social•104 days ago

Those people who say he's bluffing also said he wouldn't win the election! When someone tells you what they are, shows you what they are, you better believe that's what they are!

thejosevilson.com•104 days ago

The fact that Homan said he had no problem with deporting families by member or as a whole unit should raise red flags for everyone. Whether it will is another thing.

cbugbee.bsky.social•104 days ago

glad you’re here; done with X save for oppo sigint

atransparentsoul.bsky.social•104 days ago

It will cripple the economy and cities. Eventually it will stop. But sorrow for the people that get caught up in that snare.

bluebird11.bsky.social•104 days ago

They do and they will try. Follow these progressive voices and outlets to stay informed and ready to ACT https://go.bsky.app/3DcYzDf

noodlette.bsky.social•104 days ago

This is so terrifying to me. It CAN happen here. I’m so scared for everyone.

kalloo.bsky.social•104 days ago

I can't believe people have already forgotten all the sh*t he tried to pull 2016-2020. Of course he meant everything he said

minervamcgonnigal.bsky.social•104 days ago

They want to remove both naturalized and US born citizens. A lot of people that voted for him are in for a very abrupt surprise.

lcogginz.bsky.social•104 days ago

On top of the foundational awfulness of it, we'll have detainment camps that cost literal fortunes--spending money like mad to just to hurt people. It beggars belief.

obdurodon.bsky.social•104 days ago

There will be no mass deportation. There will be "partial deportation" to camps, where slave labor will be used to offset the inflationary effect of tariffs, with a side of profit for the donors who invested in private prisons. There are a couple of rather obvious precedents for this.

mbou.bsky.social•104 days ago

I still can believe the number of people who justified voting for Trump by saying he wasn't actually going to do all the things he said he was going to do over and over

worldcitizen1994.bsky.social•104 days ago

They're lying to themselves and are genuinely deluded otherwise.

luvnfiction.bsky.social•82 days ago

He will make sure he puts enough in private prisons to enslave them to the corporations who used to pay them (meagerly) then be charged room & board so they are enslaved forever.

helenbroom.bsky.social•104 days ago

Memories are so short, do they not remember the kids in cages last time??

jennifermarino.bsky.social•104 days ago

I have completely given up on white women, and I'm one of them. Everyone looks at me like I'm crazy. Ok. Enjoy.

exilednomo.bsky.social•101 days ago

They wanna START by removing 15 million human beings. People are not paying attention, are in denial etc and need to wake tf up

keepwriting.bsky.social•104 days ago

He's not bluffing. But he wasn't bluffing about the wall either. And that went so well he's not talking about it anymore. The next while, until he meets an open 10th storey window, are going to be a hot mess.

lncann.bsky.social•104 days ago

It’s going to be horrendous and I can’t believe how many people are hand waving it away as just an empty threat.

lsstaub.bsky.social•104 days ago

It’s going to be VERY bad.

processanalyzer.bsky.social•104 days ago

Let’s see how the first 100,000 arrest warrants go. Lawyers are drooling.

cskyle.bsky.social•104 days ago

Can’t Biden do something about this in the next two months, like sign 11 million individual citizenship certificates?

nadinbrzezinski.bsky.social•104 days ago

Many of us tried to warn them. Latinos and Muslims are going to find out.

thebittersnake.bsky.social•104 days ago

I beg people to not treat Muslims like a monolith. Muslims are practitioners of Islam. That does not automatically mean they are immigrants 😭

thebittersnake.bsky.social•104 days ago

Some Muslims are Black! Some are Latino. Some are even White!

nadinbrzezinski.bsky.social•104 days ago

Sand for Latinos. But the folks putting together these programs don’t care.

thebittersnake.bsky.social•104 days ago

.....I don't understand the statement "Sand for Latinos" and yes, I am aware that the folks putting these programs together don't care but we should.

nadinbrzezinski.bsky.social•104 days ago

Same. On the phone. This keyboard drives me nuts. So however few, or many, voted for Trump…leopards come to mind. And if will affect all

g-g.bsky.social•104 days ago

I think people are stuck in trauma response and are struggling to comprehend this is real. I share things w family members and they immediately throw disbelief at me like im creating a script. Then I show proof and their brain smokes. The level of dark surrealism is making people glitch. Fortify!

bleudaisy.bsky.social•104 days ago

I voted as though he meant what he said. But he also said he’d bring down prices/inflation. I don’t see how he can do both. Make it make sense.
