Slow motion civil war. This is not actually about immigration, illegal or otherwise. Understand and accept this: They're coming for you, eventually. Picture yourself as the person tackled to the ground, put in handcuffs, whisked away without trial, maybe never to be seen again. No one is safe from this. Not the people who think they're just normal people doing their jobs, not the people just trying to live their own lives in peace, not even the people celebrating this and relentlessly loyal to the regime. Everyone is a potential target, for reasons real and imaginary, it makes no difference. Fascism doesn't care, it is arbitrary and cruel, it isn't reasonable and it cannot be reasoned with, it is the pursuit of absolute power and the relentless application of that power is all that matters. This is what the first stage always looks like, but there's always a second stage, and there's always someone new who needs to be rounded up, and sooner or later, it's going to be you. Either stop it here, or wait until it's gotten even stronger. Your choice.

Unless everyone is granted due process, anyone can be denied it, including you and your loved ones.

Either stop it here

How do we do that though 😭 We've already done the largest nationwide protests. Twice.

I really hope the answer isn't "fast motion civil war"

everyone left, right, and center is just coping on the idea things "return to normal" when trump dies, imo when that doesn't happen is when things get...interesting.

ideally trump dues in the most public and embarrassingly way possible, cause if there's even the slightest doubt how this shitstain croaks you know the CPM is gonna stoke their base of cultists into a frenzy

ICE was confirmed in Asheville this morning. Protest at 2pm tomorrow (edit: Sunday) for anyone in the area. Another protest next Friday at 5:30 (11/21). Protect your neighbors.

Welcome to the News community!

Rules:

1. Be civil


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.


2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.


Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.


5. Only recent news is allowed.


Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.


6. All posts must be news articles.


No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.


7. No duplicate posts.


If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.


8. Misinformation is prohibited.


Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.


9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.


All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.


10. Don't copy entire article in your post body


For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.
