This is literally Neo-Nazi propaganda. Textbook ethno-nationalist ideology that aligns with every far-right movement in Europe.

We're outsourcing concentration camps to El Salvador. This is horrifying, especially when they're simply using random tattoos to claim people are in gangs. A simple Michael Jordan tattoo can get you put in a concentration camp in El Salvador.

In 1934 a group of rich, well-connected Portlanders tried to get a local leftist they disliked deported to Hitler's Germany (a country he never lived in and claimed he wasn't born in). He would have likely been imprisoned or put to death by Hitler's regime.

The New York Times is the first to put out comprehensive estimates on the cost of a year without U.S.A.I.D. and they’re higher than I thought: - 1.65 million deaths from AIDS - 500,000 from lack of vaccines - 550,000 from lack of food aid - 290,000 from malaria - 310,000 from TB

This whole going after green card holders thing is absolutely trying to soften going after naturalized citizens. They want a White America. That means pushing Black & brown people out of all high ranking positions & getting rid of immigrants who make up American diversity.

Holy crap. The DOJ is arguing that the President can unilaterally deport anyone he wants without ANY statutory authority, just on his inherent authority as President over national security. That is a terrifying claim to make and not one that has ever been recognized before in US history.

In the past day, the Trump admin has declared protests against Tesla and news coverage criticizing the president "illegal." Sharing this story I wrote in 2022 for a look how Trump previously surveilled protesters & sought loopholes to legally treat them like terrorists.

In 1933, the Nazis had 288 seats in the Reichstag. The Enabling Act of 1933 passed by a vote of 444-94, with 109 not voting (socialists and communists were absent, many fearing arrest). History doesn’t care how the 156 members who sided with the Nazis justified their votes, only how they voted.

Cloture has met the 60 votes to pass in the senate with the help of at least 9 Democrats: Schumer, Fetterman, Hassan, Cortez Masto, Durbin, Gillibrand, Shaheen, Schatz, and Peters. They sold out our country to Trump and Elon. They're traitors to democracy.

It needs to be repeated over and over: accusations of antisemitism are going to be one of the primary weapons of the fascists to seize power. They are trying to weaponize the power of these accusations while simultaneously making Jews appear to be the orchestrators of their power grabs.

Every single elected representative not unequivocally condemning the actions of this administration are failing the assignment. They are directly enabling fascism by supporting the unconstitutional detention of a lawful permanent resident solely on the basis of their speech. Absolutely shameful.

Yes. If DHS can barge in, say your visa was revoked, be told you have a green card, say it's revoked too, and then disappear you so that neither your lawyer nor your family can find you, then all the guardrails are gone. There is no policy, practice, or law protecting anyone.
