Autogenocide is in the news every single day. People can’t recognize it if they don’t have a word for it. If we don’t call it autogenocide, which it is, we allow the perpetrators to name the crime and assign the guilt. #3E #EndAutogenocide #EndImpunity #EndOligarchy

A little math geek update.
So far, we have deported approximately 1,300 people a day since 01/20/25.
At this rate it will take 29 years to deport the 14 million undoc’d immigrants. Provided we keep our border πŸ’―% secure.
Math is part of the #resistance too

Reminder that it is your *obligation* to refuse an illegal order. If you're not sure if an order is illegal, ask for clarification about the specifics of the order.

This hotline is not run by the military, making it a great resource for service members in these tough situations.

Many products sold in the U.S. are made in El Salvador. In response to the El Salvador president’s statements today, we’re calling for an immediate boycott of all Salvadoran-made goods. Please help by listing any products or brands made in El Salvador in the comments below.

To note, most LEO agencies have tons of military gear they buy at discount from the services. Vast majority of LEOs have better bullet protection than most military. And any gear that’s makes them look military should likely NOT be used on civilian on our soil.

With ICE agents going door-to-door in Colorado, residents are on edge: Reporter's notebook ABC News followed federal immigration agents in a Denver door-to-door raid of suspected undocumented immigrants.

Voting is an even more fundamental RIGHT than owning a firearm is. As voting is way WE THE PEOPLE ensure all other rights through elected representatives.
Without the right to vote there is NO freedom.
Contact congress
And #resist the SAVE act.

Gather a bunch of macho guys armed to the teeth with military weapons (ICE) and ask them what they fear. They are likely to answer β€œnot a goddamned thing.” As a veteran, its probably how I'd answer if I were in ICE’s shoes with all their gear.

Treason is clearly defined by the constitution. To change it would take an amendment. Founding fathers specifically did this to prevent treason charges for disagreeing with one’s government.

May 5th, all of VBA returns to office, minus fully remote workers who live near a regional office that doesn’t have room for them.
The number of Veteran’s claims being worked will drop precipitously due to demoralization of employees.
Stay strong and #resist

They are likely to reverse course.

Small Plane Crashes In South Florida Near A Major Highway The Boca Raton Police said that several roads near the Boca Raton Airport were closed near Interstate 95.

This Regime is great at is cutting jobs that prevent plane crashes and save lives.

Is America great enough yet?

Or do we have a quota on Body bags to fill up with innocent Americans?

Government Cites Power To Deport People For Beliefs In Case Against Mahmoud Khalil The government submitted a two-page memo from Secretary of State Marco Rubio as its main evidence in its deportation case against Khalil.

So when can I be deported to Canada?

So theeldery in nursing hones can't vote, as they cant get to an office to prove citizenship. Same with active duty military serving abroad. So now you can die for your country but you won’t be able to register to vote.
Basic fascist BS.

Supreme Court Orders Trump Administration To Help Bring Mistakenly Deported Man Back To U.S. The Trump administration has conceded that it made a mistake in sending Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a notorious prison in El Salvador but argued it no longer could do anything about it.

The ruling is a major win for the #resistance.

But will the administration comply?

Seen at a local VHA CBOC today. Veteran walks up to photos of Trump/Vance at the entrance. Looks at them. Then shakes his head in disgust and lightly laughs at them.
He was in the age range of a Vietnam vet.
Those who oppose him are everywhere.

This seems similar to when Germany replaced their country flag with the Swastika laden Nazi party flag.
Not a good sign.
But maybe it helps us spot and #resist the new American Nazi loyalists.
