Everyone in the US who isn’t actively kissing Trump’s ass needs to get really fucking loud and really fucking angry about this.

This man is a legal resident with a green card and ICE blatantly ignored that. They threatened to arrest his 8-month pregnant wife (who is a US citizen) in her home. They moved him across state lines and didn’t tell anyone where he was. They kidnapped him.

This is fucking fascism. America is a fascist nation.

These tactics will continue to be used against any dissidents who stand up to that fat fucking flesh blimp.

At the bare minimum write your representatives and ask why they think this is okay. Start protesting. Do not comply in advance. We can’t stay silent.

Just saying that in Trump's first term he had plainshirts arresting George Floyd protestors.

Though to t find via Google with the current news cycle because search engines are garbage now.

Yes, I remember this. People were being snatched up in vans by men in tactical gear.

He also wanted the military to shoot the protestors in DC for his little bible photo op.

This country fucking forgot how terrible 2020 was. He should never have been elected in the first place but 2020 showed that he is a full on fucking sociopath who will kill any American who stands in his way.

Yeah they basically say it’s true, just not illegal. Great. I’ve always tested fascism on whether or not they were following the law /s

Start putting bullets in ICE agents. Time to rise up, but no we sit and do nothing.

Gonna need to figure out how to jailbreak.. well.. you know.. jails.

"Aligned to." Not on the part of. Not working with. ALIGNED WITH.

This is what is known as due cause.

“And liberal or mainstream media organizations and universities should be summarily closed… ‘You’d simply declare a state of emergency in your inaugural address. You’d actually have a mandate to do this. Where would that mandate come from? It would come from basically running on it, saying, Hey, this is what we’re going to do… you can’t continue to have a Harvard or a New York Times past since perhaps the start of April.’ - Yarvin, the fascist techbro guru that other fascist techbros wanna be like

Funny how you can immediately tell the text was not written by Trump himself because it is way to coherent.

LACK OF CAPS LOCK IS ALSO A DEAD GIVEAWAY !1!!

At the same time, the akward Hebrew usage shows ignorance. Here "Shalom" is used casually like "seeya", unaware that it's deeper meaning is "peace, wholeness, well-being", in comflict to the violence of his arrest.

More likely it's one of the press secretaries who sound slightly more intelligent but with the same rhetoric.

He could never come up with something as viciously insulting as saying shalom to this man.

MAGA has paid agitators. This is mor accusations in a mirror. They cover their faces, wave nazi flags and are recycled protesting different things.

[–] MajorHavoc@programming.dev 43 points 1 day ago

Fuck. Pulling dissident voices off of college campuses is never something to celebrate.

Of course he's coming for education. Under-education is the thing that got him elected in the first place so be prepare for an even more brainwashed america, if that's even possible.

"I love the poorly educated" -Donald Trump at a campaign rally in 2015. And the crowd cheered.
