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 💯% 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.
If you are National Guard or active duty military & you are ordered to violate the Constitutional rights of your fellow Americans, call the Gl Rights Hotline 1-877-447-4487
There is support, you don't have to go through with it.

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.

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.

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.
Below are screenshots from the article explaining what the law says. Redefine treason so that it’s far wider, looser, and more open to interpretation, and you have the administration’s way around the law prohibiting deportation of U.S. citizens.

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.

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?

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.

Phasing out Bank deposit insurance would likely put a run a banks, which was a large event that trigger the Great Depression.
He’s fucking every part of this country he possibly can.
BREAKING — DOGE will descend upon Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) buildings tomorrow, an agency source tells me.

FDIC is responsible for insuring all commercial/personal US bank accounts for up to $250k and regulating banks. Scary in light of Trump’s manipulation of markets this week.

This seems similar to when Germany replaced their country flag with the Swastika laden Nazi party flag.
Not a good sign.

Technically this also makes it more expensive for some parts of the government. Think medications for military, Veterans (VA); and Medicare. He is once again creating his very own fraud, waste, and abuse.

Trump has announced his new plan for autogenocide, he will now proceed to make medication far more expensive, which will lead to millions of deaths. "We're gonna tariff our pharmaceuticals ... we're going to be announcing very shortly a major tariff on pharmaceuticals." #3E
