Authoritarian states happen step by step, then all at once. But you couldn't get to this point from a healthy, functional state. Black folks, Indigenous people, etc have been trying to tell you based on our lived experience that "regular" US politics & overt fascism are siblings, maybe twins.

To all news outlets: stop calling it “enforcement” when it’s a violation of human rights and our constitution. Call it what it is: kidnapping and human trafficking.

Attorneys for Kilmar Abrego Garcia said in new a filing that the Trump admin has not even attempted to get the mistakenly deported man returned to the U.S. — despite orders from a federal judge and the Supreme Court. "There is no evidence that anyone has requested the release of Abrego Garcia."

When ICE agents descended upon 19-year-old Merwil Guttiérez in New York City, they realized he was not the intended target of their operation — but they arrested the boy anyway. Merwil was, in fact, in the United States legally — from Venezuela, seeking asylum. Merwil’s father, Wilmer Guttiérez,…

The crazy thing about humans is this: We could provide food, water, shelter, healthcare, & education to everyone on earth. The reason we don’t is because we’ve decided to put profits first. That’s it. The acquisition of bits of green paper over all else is a choice. Greed is holding us back.

12 Dem Senators and 48 Dem House members voted for the Laken Riley Act—allowing US Govt to deport immigrants on the mere accusation of a crime. As you see those 60 Dems complain about Mahmoud Khalil, Rumeysa Ozturk, or Kilmar Abrego Garcia, among many more—please know they enabled this fascism.

Has a single Democrat responded to Trump's sweeping abuse of the pardon power for January 6 insurrectionists by recommending broad reform or even abolition of the pardon power itself? Why not? It has historically been deeply unpopular for just this reason.

Do these ICE agents realize that they are liable, and can be charged and arrested for these crimes, even if it takes a long time. Look what happened to all of the gestapo guards that paid the price after WW2. They will chase them down even if they are grandparents when they finally get to them.
