Rep Eric Swalwell walked out in *shock*โand who could blame him?
Every single GOP member on the House Judiciary Committee just voted to let Trump โdeportโ American citizens.
This is illegal, authoritarian, and unforgivable ๐คฌ
Time to call, write, & protest before the full House votes.

Never forget this. As the markets tank, as a recession looms in our futureโฆthey will somehow blame Biden. However, the GOP has had the power all along.

Just one small man,

New โ I spoke to the school principal of Sackets Harbor, NY, where ICE handcuffed and disappeared a mother and 3 kids (including a 3rd grader). Itโs also the town Trump Border Czar Tom Homan calls home.

Why seeing trade deficits as a problem is silly. We buy $150B of stuff from Vietnam and they buy $10B from US.
Taxing ourselves 50% on Vietnamese goods doesnโt make them buy more things from us. We will simply buy less from them and pay huge taxes on what we do buy.
Itโs so fucking stupid.

I love that @booker.senate.gov is filibustering to protest pretty much everything โ Trump, Musk, disregard for rule of law, disregard for wellbeing of Americans. How long can he talk? Overnight and into tomorrow. More than long enough to get some attention. He's already trending.

is Bookerโs filibuster gonna save the world? of course not. but since courage begets courage it could lead to more. Iโm fucking cynical as hell but come on.

Cory Booker has held the Senate floor for 17 hours and 21 minutes.
The record of 24 hours and 18 minutes is held by segregationist Strom Thurmond, who spent that time protesting the Civil Rights Act of 1957.
I am pretty sure Booker would not mind changing that history.

No one is safe here. Thinking that your money will protect you is:
1. Naive and. 2. Shitty
Instead of conducting purity tests and worrying about what members of the resistance are saying that might make you feel bad about yourself - JUST aim that outrage at the perpetraitors and do your part.

And the idea that the folks who voted for this are uneducated couch-fvckers (while understandable) is NOT TRUE.

Another friend advocated in a thread to just sit back and wait for the "dirty hicks" who voted for this to be affected and take him out themselves.

I use the term "apocalypse" in dark humor these days, but I do believe we are in the "end times" of the US we've known for the last 80 years.
Big question is can we pull back from fascism and build something better, stronger, more resilient, or is this our Fall of Rome?
