Assistant Homeland Security Secretary Tricia McLaughlin made the announcement Saturday. Meanwhile, Local officials, including Charlotte Mayor Vi Lyles criticized such actions, saying that they made community members feel unsafe.
Slow motion civil war. This is not actually about immigration, illegal or otherwise. Understand and accept this: They’re coming for you, eventually. Picture yourself as the person tackled to the ground, put in handcuffs, whisked away without trial, maybe never to be seen again. No one is safe from this. Not the people who think they’re just normal people doing their jobs, not the people just trying to live their own lives in peace, not even the people celebrating this and relentlessly loyal to the regime. Everyone is a potential target, for reasons real and imaginary, it makes no difference. Fascism doesn’t care, it is arbitrary and cruel, it isn’t reasonable and it cannot be reasoned with, it is the pursuit of absolute power and the relentless application of that power is all that matters. This is what the first stage always looks like, but there’s always a second stage, and there’s always someone new who needs to be rounded up, and sooner or later, it’s going to be you. Either stop it here, or wait until it’s gotten even stronger. Your choice.
everyone left, right, and center is just coping on the idea things “return to normal” when trump dies, imo when that doesn’t happen is when things get…interesting.
ideally trump dues in the most public and embarrassingly way possible, cause if there’s even the slightest doubt how this shitstain croaks you know the CPM is gonna stoke their base of cultists into a frenzy

Unless everyone is granted due process, anyone can be denied it, including you and your loved ones.
How do we do that though 😭 We’ve already done the largest nationwide protests. Twice.
I really hope the answer isn’t “fast motion civil war”
