Hello Bluesky!
We're a group of Americans living in Switzerland.
Many of us have long admired Swiss democracy, and our worry has turned to horror as we have watched America's democracy begin to unwind.

Paramount & CBS have bent the knee.
Tech billionaires are manipulating their platforms’ algorithms to favor fascists.

Not only does this bill strip healthcare from millions of people, steal our money for billionaires, and explode the deficit by trillions.
It also gives $170 billion to the regime’s deportation efforts.
More ICE. More kidnappings. More concentration camps.
Their evil has no limits—this is fascism.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.
