Amygdala hijack - Wikipedia

What's the slogan of every Republican supporting the right-wing communications strategy of amygdala hijacking?

KEEP HATE ALIVE

And, to do that, they need to KEEP FEAR ALIVE.

George and Tracy, from Niagara Falls, Ontario, similarly said politics were a big factor in leaving their Florida home of 12 years for Campeche in 2022.

โ€œWe knew after the first term that this was not going to be pretty and we knew [Trump was in again]. We had to get out,โ€ Tracy told CBC Toronto.

After many winters in Florida, John and Sharron, from Mississauga, say they started feeling apprehensive about the political climate in the U.S.

โ€œThere were situations where we weren't welcome,โ€ Sharron said. โ€œAs Canadians, we just didn't feel comfortable anymore.โ€

So they changed their plans.

A growing number of Republicans have moved cautiously to signal their discomfort with the Minneapolis operation, including Trump allies, but they seem more intent on preventing voters from abandoning them before they are able to secure re-nomination for election to the next Congress.

Across the U.S., lawmakers are attempting to protect people from the violent, lawless ICE thugs after the occupation of Minneapolis as part of a nationwide mass deportation campaign.

The attacks were sold as against criminals, but legal immigrants even have been grabbed from citizenship ceremonies.

I agree.

I'd like to see control of the House lost by Republicans before Memorial Day, though. Trump and his unrestrained aides need to face investigation well before the midterms.

"Heavy-handed"?

Try UNNECESSARILY BRUTAL AND LAWLESS.

The ICE thugs, drawn from Border Patrol veterans and sketchier types like former insurrectionists and right-wing militias, and others attracted by white nationalist recruiting, appear to have been assured they would not be held accountable.

On Tuesday, Amazon mistakenly sent an email appearing to refer to the layoff plan as "Project Dawn" โ€to some Amazon Web Services staff, unsettling thousands of workers.

The email...wrongly said that impacted employees in the U.S., Canada...had already been informed that they lost their jobs.

The company did not say what business units would be impacted, or where the job cuts would occur.

It also did not specify how many employees in Canada are impacted by the layoffs.

The latest reductions follow a round of job cuts in October, when Amazon said it was laying off 14,000 workers.

But after the execution-style killings of both Alex Pretti and Renee Good, who were members of the volunteer ICE WATCH, residents observing and monitoring ICE attacks on neighborhoods in the Twin Cities, those endeavors have gained more urgency, according to lawmakers and immigration rights groups.

Ever since the second Trump regime, staffed by radical Republicans, recruited violent thugs and embarked on its massive deportation campaigns against minority non-citizens, Democratic states have proposed โ€” and sometimes passed โ€” countermeasures, such as banning masked or unidentified agents.
