Some of the refugees taken to Texas have been released from custody. But instead of being flown back home, they were released in Texas “without money, identification, or phones,” CNN reported.
if a "terrifying line is being crossed" every day, how does that affect you? Is each line a new horror? or do they all blur together?
If nothing is done when the line is first crossed, and that crossing then continues to happen on a daily basis, then it has just become the new normal.
As a Minnesotan, I can answer that
It's both
Most days the new line being crosses is horrifying. I remember the video of the doordash driver that hid in a customer's basement. Seeing the terror in her eyes. Hearing the homeowners crying and apologizing as they're forced to throw her to the wolves. That one hurt to watch. Deeply reminiscent of Nazis hunting for jews
Other events just leave me numb. Like Alex Pretti. It was objectively a huge line to cross, yet I felt so numb to it initially. Some days the mental fatigue is just too much
The war they're waging is a psychological one first and foremost. Do your best to stay strong and remember what's on the line
Is each line a new horror? or do they all blur together?
Yes
The line was crossed ages ago.
What horrible line was crossed?
Was it advocating for sexual assault?
The blatant racism?
The Islamophobia?
Putting children in cages?
By passing Congress at every turn?
Starting an insurrection?
Hoarding classified documents?
Picking fights with allies?
Attacking the LGBT community?
Celebrating white supremacist?
The straight up naked corruption?
Backing genocide?
Striping away democratic processes?
Sending ICE into cities for massive deportation raids?
What were y'all expecting.
Exactly this, and the rest that's coming, and all the horrors that will be discovered to have happened when/if this ever ends.
I'm expecting full holocaust. I so want to be wrong but things keep getting closer and closer to it. I'm scared the fascists will come to Canada and come for me
They've got a pretty long to-do list for here before they start looking your way. Keep an eye out for your own home-grown ones though.
When farmers burn weeds they often mix a popular petrochemical that's sold at most beer/cig/candy stores and simple Irish bars of lavender, it's pretty useful stuff. For burning weeds.
My new shotgun and rifle arrive in 2-3 weeks...can't come soon enough.
And whatchagon do with it, eh?
I'll tell you what: jack shit. Just like all the other gun-toting posers in America.
I'm obviously not going to answer on a traceable, public forum.
You do you.
You say you won't tell what you're gonna do with your guns on a public forum, yet you feel the need to mention that you bought guns on said public forums...
Po-ser.
It's all show. If ICE shows up at your door, you'll say "Yes Sir!" and you'll scream "No! I'm a US citizen!" as they drag you away to a DHS-sanctioned concentration camp.
You'll do exactly nothing with your guns, because you know as well as I do that the ICE goons will pump you so full of bullets if you do that there will be more holes than flesh left on you.
If you had anything serious in mind, you would have kept your gun purchase hush-hush.
Maybe instead of bitching you should make suggestions to solve the problem.
Pay your first dues with a vanilla card purchased w/ cash a couple of towns over, use at least 30-90 days after purchase so the CCTV footage will be overwritten.
Also use tor FFS, or at least a good VPN like mullvad or ivp, and on a trustable machine (IE: open source OS, preferably QubesOS on ME disabled hardware)
Also if you need a good throwaway email both tutanota and cock.li work but keep in mind cock.li is run by chuds so its best used as a disposable account.
You can truely speak your mind if your socials are never accessed from your home IP and you don't tie any other accounts to them, and what you say isn't too identifiable.
