State Terror A brief guide for Americans

"the president defied a Supreme Court ruling to return a man mistakenly sent to a gulag... and spoke of sending Americans to foreign concentration camps.
This is the beginning of an American policy of state terror, and it has to be identified as such to be stopped"

I’m sure they’d love to move us actual autistics to the camps anyone else who is disabled, different, dissident, ill, artist, compassionate, queer.

OMG, this is trump's America. 😔

Do we think ICE doesn’t apply to us because we were born in Ohio or California? Trump made it clear - “Homegrowns are next.” But first they gotta build more camps for all of us.

A whistleblower's disclosure details how DOGE may have taken sensitive labor data A whistleblower tells Congress and NPR that DOGE may have taken sensitive labor data and hid its tracks. "None of that ... information should ever leave the agency," said a former NLRB official.

The great thing about fighting back against this stuff is that if you end up losing anyway you get the same outcome you’d have gotten from complying but you don’t have to fucking hate yourself too.

File impeachment articles that are just direct quotes from the Declaration of Independence

Ugly and uglier.

Nothing new on the POTUS playbook; second time as dangerous farce.

Trump/Musk is flooding the zone, here is how you keep up: Trump taking cash bribes from oligarchs in exchange for power, Oligarchs steal from US gutting safety & opportunity for working families, Trump/Oligarchs doing horrible things to innocent people to distract US from their crimes against US.

Please recognize this: what POTUS/SCOTUS get away with doing to immigrants & green-card & visa holders, they can get away with doing to the rest of us.

3/4. If we accept the idea that moving a person from one place to another undoes rights and disempowers the judiciary, we are endorsing the basic Nazism practice that enabled the killing of millions.

1/4. On the White House’s theory, if they abduct you, get you on a helicopter, get to international waters, shoot you in the head, and drop your corpse into the ocean, that is legal, because it is the conduct of foreign affairs.

🎉BREAKING: We won! The judge just officially stayed (blocked) the federal notice that was set to end humanitarian parole for Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela on April 24th. The court also granted us class certification. Stay tuned for more details on what this ruling means!

Yup. They'll send a legitimately awful US citizen to CECOT, and anyone who criticizes it will be accused of supporting the awful person... and then they'll send someone slightly less awful. Eventually, they'll have established that they can send anyone.

Incredible news on TDOV.

The 9th Circuit has denied the government’s request to enforce its transgender military ban.

And so, as it must for all years, 1984 came. But instead instead of leaving, it crept into dark places and grew, awaited its time and grew some more, and forty years later it sprang out and shouted, “Here I am! Greatness!!” Some rallied around it. Some said, “It’s not so bad.” So the fight is on.

And today, Trump transforms more than half a million legal residents of the USA into illegals subject to deportation. With a wave of his royal hand.

“Bizarre,” yes; but true

Yes, please, Canada

Holy f*ck. No, Adam, this is not a "test case," this is real fast-blooming fascism, right now. You voted for most of Trump's nominees. At least you didn't join Chuckles in his big yes, but you're not exactly inspiring anyone.

Yes, please and thank you, Canada.

Administration Officials Believe Order Lets Immigration Agents Enter Homes Without Warrants (Gift Article) It remains unclear whether the Trump administration will apply the law in this way. But such an interpretation, experts say, would infringe on basic civil liberties.

In many a time, in many a land
With many a gun in many a hand
They came by the night, they came by the day
Came with their guns to take us away

With a knock on the door, knock on the door
Here they come to take one more
One more -

Absolutely.

AOC: Fox News and the right-wing would have you believe that these American values are something out of The Communist Manifesto. But let me tell you Fox News, I don’t believe in healthcare, labor, and human rights because I’m a Marxist.. I believe it because I was a waitress.

@summerlee.bsky.social Our Rep. Summer Lee met with hundreds of constituents in Pittsburgh and demonstrated how a real people’s and peoples’ representative builds “beloved communities” (MLK’s words) of #resistance in times like these. Watch.
