"On Monday, Zelensky warned it was Russia's 'nature to make some kind of massive strike on our Christmas... especially on December 23, 24, and 25.'"

The Gestapo always comes FOR YOU, eventually.

#ItsWhatTheyDo.

#AgolfShitler is mustering CYBER #brownshirts to go after those who refuse to kiss the ring.

Right now it's journalists and professors--but no matter WHO you are, the Gestapo always comes FOR YOU, eventually. #ItsWhatTheyDo.

#Resist. There are more of us than there are of them. And FOR NOW, anyhow, we still have a military whose officer, NCO, and professional civilian leadership went through THEIR ENTIRE CAREERS with people like me hammering it into their heads that they serve THE CONSTITUTION and the American people--not "the government" ... much less the Dear Leader.

‼️ The White House doubled down on its disgusting "Media Bias Offenders" list, and has now opened up a "Media Bias Tip Line," encouraging the general public to get in on the harassment of journalists and infringement of free speech in America. My statement below.: “Donald Trump’s latest move to create a ‘media bias’ website and ‘offender tip line’ is not about defending truth; it is intimidation, and a dangerous escalation of the White House’s attacks on free speech in the United States. This ‘tip line’ is not a good-faith effort to correct errors or combat misinformation. It is a pipeline for harassment that can be weaponized against those who refuse to bend to the White House’s narrative. When the government singles out outlets and reporters it doesn’t like and invites citizens to play along, it sends a chilling message: report critically about those in power, and you could be next on the list. We’ve seen this tactic before. In 2022, when I was appointed to help the U.S. government set policy on how to respond to disinformation while protecting free speech, the MAGA movement launched a coordinated campaign of lies about my work. They falsely claimed I wanted to censor Americans and run a ‘Ministry of Truth.’ The result was harassment, doxxing, and violent threats against me and my family while I was pregnant. Today, the Trump administration is openly embracing the very behavior they falsely accused me of. At The American Sunlight Project, we are tracking these abuses in real time. Since inauguration day, we have documented nearly 200 instances in which Trump and his allies have tried to punish, silence, or intimidate people for speaking truth to power. The ‘media bias offender tip line’ is part of a broader censorship crusade that should alarm every American. We urge journalists, newsroom leaders, technology companies, policymakers and the American people to treat this for what it is: an attack on press freedom and an attempt to deputize the president’s supporters in a censorship campaign. The more quietly this tip line operates, the more dangerous it becomes. Sunlight, vigilance, and solidarity with those targeted by this campaign are the only antidotes.” ☀️☀️☀️

'Not what we voted for': Pro-Trump Florida man in ICE custody insists he's not a criminal

Federal immigration authorities recently detained a Latino Florida man who is a supporter of President Donald Trump. The man's wife is now left with the family's seven month-old infant and 70 year-old grandmother.That's according to a Friday article in Newsweek, which reported that the man, whose na...

Just like--regardless of what they may say for public consumption (which often isn't THAT much different!)--the mission of #Trumpism is to end democracy & transform America into a Christofascist Gilead, the mission of #IsraelAtWarCrimes is the #EthnicCleansing of #Palestine and the #genocide of the Palestinian people.

So OF COURSE they're using aid deliveries as bait to lure Palestinians to their death--just like the forces of genocide did in Ethiopia, in Rwanda, in Somalia. #ItsWhatTheyDo.

The question anybody who still sees America--even aspirationally--as a force for good needs to be asking is why the hell a nation that wants to cast itself as the champion of human rights & the rule of law is continuing to act as #GenocidesBodyguards, rather than fighting as protectors of its victims.

In Pink Floyd's song, "In the Flesh," there's a verse that begins, "Are there any QUEERS in the theater tonight? Get 'em up against the wall!" The song then runs down a list of traditionally persecuted groups, including Jews and Blacks (using a racist epithet). "There's one in the spotlight--he don't look right to me--get him up against the wall!"

As #AgolfShitler's ICE #Sturmtrumpers start boarding public conveyances in full battle rattle, indiscriminately questioning everyone (without warrant) looking for marginalized groups, who's to say what group is next in the spotlight? "First they came for...." Will you say nothing?

One of the chilling messages inside Pink Floyd's song is that everybody in the audience presumably CHOSE to be there "in the theater." They thought they were part of the IN group. And maybe they WERE: by the end of the video, all who remain are explicitly exposed as mindless supporters of the new order. But as that one verse made clear, the fascists always come for YOU, eventually, no matter how loyal you think you are; no matter how much of your humanity you've surrendered to the #Donjjal "for a little temporary security."

#ItsWhatTheyDo.

What are YOU going to do to stop them, while you still have the chance? Here are some ideas:

@[email protected] 2- 🔘 The most important acts of resistance are the small ones. Make it difficult and uncomfortable for ICE agents to do their jobs. They are counting on citizens to turn a blind eye and allow them to deport undocumented citizens without challenge. Disabuse them of that notion. 🔘 If you are on a train, bus, or anything else and ICE or CBP boards, you need to stand up and loudly let everyone know that they have the right to remain silent or only answer questions in the presence of an attorney, no matter their citizenship or immigration status. There have been numerous reports that confronting the agents in this way has caused them to leave without verifying citizenship. THIS CAN SAVE LIVES. 🙌 🔘 If you see anyone being held up by immigration, loudly ask if they are being detained and if they are free to go. -2-
