Deportation camps are for brown people.
Labor camps are for kids with ADHD and learning disabilities.
Prison camps are for queer people, democrats, and dissenters.

Functionally, they're all the same.

"It’s easier to remove people from the law than remove the law from people."
-Timothy Snyder

This is the equivalent of the Germans building Auschwitz in Poland so they could remove Germans from Germany and German law so they could commit the worst atrocities with impunity.

This cannot happen.

"Be wary of paramilitaries. When the men with the guns who have always claimed to be against the system start wearing uniforms and marching with torches...the end is nigh. When the pro-leader paramilitary and the official police and military intermingle, the end has come."

Putting someone in charge of public health who denies germ theory is going to lead to democide.

This is a dangerous combo of "just world fallacy" and eugenics.

People will die.

This post lives rent free in my head as if it was prominently displayed on the fridge, held up by an "I f*cking told you so" magnet.

Every year, I look back at this post while glancing around at how it's relevancy grows more and more with every passing moment.

In 2006, an FBI report warned white supremacists were infiltrating law enforcement agencies to stop investigations into their groups and recruit more supremacists onto the force.

They had tracked this across the US, sometimes filling entire departments.

This has been going on for a very long time

Not that anyone here needs reminding, but this is what a constitutional crisis looks like.

This is a declaration of intent.

When RFK says Biden engaged in trafficking children so they are going to find and save those kids, he's not telling you what he thinks is true.

He's declaring what needs to be true to justify what comes next.

They're going to start rounding up kids. Trans kids.

US made products still use imported materials.

Is now a bad time to start looking for an agent to publish my book?

Silver lining: by June when grocery shelves are empty and the cost of children's shoes go up 300% for the 5 pairs left in stock, many Magas will riot.

I expect violence by midsummer.

This was a FB memory from 2023. It's only gotten worse. Listen to what trans people are saying. They are first in "First they came for."

People fleeing an area but not the country due to political persecution/upheaval are called Internally Displaced People (IDPs).

Then comes the refugee crisis.

So that happened.

All I can say is this is the worst timeline.

Also, the irony is Evangelicals hate Catholics. Not that Trump is Christian under any branch, but he sure does love to consolidate power.

Remember how I said RFK's autism registry/labor farms would fill the void of migrant workers?

State level GOP are slashing child labor laws. Not even hiding it.

We're going to get an unholy union between plantations, concentration camps, and the troubled teen industry/kids for cash programs.

Y'all see how that works?

If you convince people that their kids are in danger, you can whip up a frenzy of a mob in seconds flat. Any minority community instantly becomes "the Beast."

This is why I think Gaston is the most terrifying Disney villain. He is 100% real.

This is the early stages of political disappearings. So far lawyers have been able to follow paper trails but people who are sent to CECOT won't be coming back.

Soon, we won't have paper trails to follow.
Then we won't have names.
People will just vanish.

And history will find their skulls.

Either everyone has due process or no one has due process.

The Mad King can declare whomever he so chooses to be a terrorist or a gang member. The accusation is enough to make you guilty.

History time!

Fascists all utilize the same list of outlandish conspiracy theories that they pin on minority communities in order to consolidate power.

For a detailed history on how these conspiracy theories infiltrated the GOP, you can read more here:

Biblical monster story!

Meet the seraphim and the time God sent them to kill his own people because they were hungry.

VeggieTales doesn't emphasize the fact that 40 years in the desert was specifically so God could kill people.

And boy, did he.

This is an excerpt from a statement made by then Defense Secretary Hagel at the Conference of Defense Ministers of the Americas in 2014.

Rising fascism is one of those rising threats.

I've said it before and I'll say it again:

We are not prepared for the chaos the 2030s will bring.

This is the most quintessential book on how we got to this point.

Dictators use conspiracy theories to erode the information sphere, but this is the real world conspiracy that broke everything and redefined the world as we know it.

Since Easter is approaching, it's time to look at the origins of Easter traditions. It may shock people that the history is not as pagan as a the internet likes to claim.
