“On patrol” is inaccurate. This paramilitary group is tasked with snatching people off the street (reportedly with arrest quotas), not keeping the peace. Perhaps just write “out marauding” or “raiding a community” and drop this “patrol” nonsense.

I’m horrified by Trump’s order to send 300 National Guard troops to Chicago. We’re only nine months into a four year term and already the president is trying to invade an American city. If you’re in the Guard, you can and should refuse these orders.

Well my day started with some random dude accosting me & yelling in my face that only “Americans” should be allowed to live in the U.S. as I was walking to the lake in my bathing suit to go for a swim, in case anyone is wondering how things are things are going in Chicago…

The reason they speak the same language is because the two men share the same mental defects: narcissism and psychopathy. This incurable rot goes all the way to the core of who they are. The only thing you can do to stop their destruction is to remove them from power.

TRUMP IS UNFIT:
In his delusional mind, he's the greatest person who ever lived. So who is anyone else to tell him he can't say/do whatever he wants? Anyone who doesn't recognize his "greatness" is an enemy. Later on when he starts to fully decompensate, he'll see enemies everywhere.

Lack of human empathy = psychopathy.
Enjoying the suffering of others = sadism.

We don't call them Nazis to be mean.
Privileged white people are NOT the victims here - their scapegoats are (mostly migrants at the moment).
History is repeating itself.

There's literally no difference between ICE agents and rando racists who want to abduct/harm migrants except the former actually get paid by the government. Since neither group ever ID's themselves, there's no way for anyone to tell the difference. They're all Trump's brownshirts.

TERRORISM EXPERT HERE:

This statement is a clear example of what is known as “State Terrorism”: When the dictatorship will order all instruments of its state security & intelligence apparatus against its own citizens to terrorize the population.

We should all be familiar with the term "under the bus" by now. This is what happens when you elect a narcissist psychopath to the highest office in the nation.

Let us in. Hold ICE accountable. Tear down the fence.

This is what we are demanding from the Broadview ICE facility, and nothing less.

Our leaders can decide whether they stand with the people or with ICE. There is no middle ground.

Trump and his MAGA cult *need* to believe they're the "good guys" just as Hitler's Nazis did. They know, at least subconsciously, that they are not.

There are very few people left alive who witnessed the horrors of WWII. Here's one of them delivering a stark warning:

Federal agents hurled tear gas at people on a busy Logan Square street, outside a grocery store and near an elementary school.

Reckless, undertrained ICE hires are a danger to everyone. This is terrorism against US citizens.

Kamala Harris cites concerns about trans athletes in her book The Trump campaign attacked Harris over her positions on transgender rights. She says they were misconstrued.

I think you've already made up your mind that "both sides are evil" when this is simply not the case. For anyone else who may be wondering, this accurately reflects her view on the subject.

The difference between Trump and Harris are their personalities. One is rigid and unmovable while the other has the mental capacity for empathy and growth (which is also why the patriarchy fears her). Our inability to understand these differences is what got us here.

Do you honestly believe that a Democratic POTUS like Kamala Harris would still be supporting this? While the US has typically always supported Israel, a Democratic administration would have at least cut off aid by now. Bibi, Trump and MAGA have always *hated* Thunberg.

literally just had this conversation. If you can ignore the news, that's a privilege. It's basically just saying "well ICE isn't busting up my car and terrorizing my children so why should I depress myself thinking about how that's happening to other people?"

Some are laboring under the delusion that, if we simply ignore the problem, it will just go away; that everything will just work itself out.

Burying our heads in the sand while the fascists are consolidating more power on a daily basis is a really bad move.

Most of us know something's off. The problem is that we don't (or refuse to) understand what exactly is wrong. This is what always allows them to rise to power. Trump's narcissism acts as both a magnet and an amp for other disordered minds (like Noem's).

Fired for not giving Trump something that wasn't his to give. Trump doesn't understand the difference between a president and a king, nor does he care. This is what makes him unfit.
