Yikes.
The government has turned inward on its own citizens, empowered by fear, impunity, and incompetence.
And the image makes the point even more stark, ICE isn’t going after criminals, they’re going after actual Americans.
They don’t care what sovereignty means.👇

I hope every Latino citizen with an accent who voted for the current president because of the price of eggs, their “Christian” beliefs, and their desire for their non-citizen brown neighbors to get deported to make themselves feel superior are awake now and scared. You helped create this nightmare.

We’re going to go on a rant for a minute, and yes we’re bringing some history with us. Back in 1755, Benjamin Franklin wrote words that still echo today: “Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.”

Russia’s influence operations in the US have been so spectacularly effective in boosting discord and getting Trump elected twice that the White House is clumsily trying it in Greenland to get their way. I don’t recognize the US anymore 😑 Incompetent authoritarianism

The founders thought a citizen militia (i.e., national guard) and 2-year Congressional appropriations would prevent the military from being used by a tyrant president to oppress people and deny freedoms. It wasn’t enough, because here we are 😔

We need to start using a word representing the opposite of “woke.” Spread it in memes. Antonyms like “slack” and “comatose.” Fight fire with fire like Governor Newsom. Flip the narrative; make being “slack” completely “uncool” and terrible to the shallow apathetic masses.

This is shameful. I grew up feeling proud of the US, but I feel only shame at this senseless and cruel action against a mother and child. The child is a US citizen. I remember how precious each summer was. You can’t get them back. Will he be able to start school on time?

Calling all Democrat and Independent political leaders and operatives at all levels. FIGHT LIKE GOVERNOR NEWSOM!!! This is existential threat time - it’s time to take any available action even if you would not have even thought about doing it before. It’s do or die time!
Donald Trump, if you will not stand down, California will be forced to lead an effort to redraw our maps to offset the rigging of maps in red states.
If the other states call off their redistricting efforts, we will do the same. And American democracy will be better for it.

Look at the smiling face of Bezos and think about the bill he is doing nothing to stop that will:
Cut a Medicaid by a trillion $, the largest cut ever by a factor of 4; strips healthcare from 5%;
kicks 11.8 million people off SNAP;
transfers wealth from poor to rich-biggest transfer in US history 😒

Not just excess, it’s a system built to keep people hungry so the rich can keep feasting. But the masses are waking up.
