This post is not a policy argument, it’s propaganda. It uses fear, misrepresentation, and logical sleight of hand to justify mass removals without due process, which would be a catastrophic violation of American legal norms and basic human rights.
20 million is about twice the highest estimates, and even if it were true it would not justify removing people without due process, let alone sending them to a gulag for life. The Constitution puts mandatory restraints on government to restrain amoral lickspittles like this bsky.app/profile/sky....

Kelly: When I was flying in combat over Iraq during the first Gulf War, I didn’t expect that there was a 10-year-old kid sitting in South Africa who would one day become the richest guy in the world and call me a traitor for doing my job. Now, he kind of acts like a 12-year-old kid

They want us to go back to how the US was in 1879 with their tariffs and culture war.
Let’s take them back to how France was in 1789 with our guillotines and desire for real freedom

Saw someone say, "End your friendships with people who are going about life like nothing is wrong." I will never understand people who think that further isolating ourselves from everyday people who don't get it is going to save us. It's not. Your judgment and disdain will not save us.

This is the way. If you can convince just one person, it’s worth it
When we generalize about any group of people , we shut out the people who are on the fence. Trump is going to convince a lot of MAGA to stop supporting him. I'm ok being told I have TDS if the end result is that we convince the 1.5m more people that voted for him, to no longer consider him.
Part of what has me in a spiral is that there is no reaching them, Mark. They cannot have a civil conversation that does not include insults and hatred. That's the only way they can live with the ugliness of their choices. They are now devoid of diplomacy and decency.

The funniest thing now is people trying to justify that the US owning Gaza is a good thing, particularly people from the left. It’s OK to admit you made a mistake

Should’ve been doing this FROM THE VERY BEGINNING

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.
Opportunities are everywhere.
Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

Someone just told me the rights in the constitution apply only to American Citizens and that’s why it’s not a problem to deport students on visas who protest against the conflict in Gaza.
It’s clear people in this country have no idea about government and civics.

I urge everyone reading this to keep your spirits high and to make up your Goddamn mind to be a steel-spined, unrelenting, ultra-resilient, super-charged, motherfucker on wheels.
Toss every thought of, "I can't," out on its ass with such a fierceness that those thoughts wither and die on the vine.

"Donald Trump's administration is lying to you."
Gov. J.B. Pritzker slammed the White House for saying the freeze wouldn’t affect Head Start and Medicaid.
This is how we do it. Call out Trump’s lies to the camera, bold, strong action. Hold him accountable, every single time.

Reminder that Trump is a vengeful piece of garbage and an absolute waste of C-12. Hell, I’m mad I’ve used my mind and hands to even have to discuss that absolute 💩
