“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.”

Diary of Anne Frank
January 13, 1943

@Strandjunker I read that when i was 13. Never in my life have I believed I would be living through it in the USA.
How many people did Obama, Biden and Trump actually deport?

President elect Trump has threatened to use the military to enact his mass deportation plan — but how does his track record compare to his Democrat rivals?

The Independent
@Strandjunker and all these terrible things are being repeated again and again...

@Strandjunker

History does not repeat itself but it rhymes…

@xs4me2
In this case it looks more like it's plagiarizing.

If you do not know history, you are doomed to repeat it. If you DO know history, you are doomed to watch other people repeat it.

@Duckbill4994

What strikes me most in the current situation is the evil stupidity of it…

And then the knowledge of where this might end.

@Strandjunker for a second I thought it was about current Situation in the US
@Strandjunker and still, people are complacent. Which makes it so much worse; this time we KNOW what comes next, and still can't act. It's literally like being in a nightmare, the one where you're trying to run, and scream, but your feet are like lead and no sound comes out.

@Strandjunker

"ICE teams can’t force their way into a residence without a judicial warrant, so they try to determine when the person they want to grab typically leaves for work, or drops off kids at school. Then they can try to catch them in the open."

Trump’s Mass-Deportation Campaign Hasn’t Really Started Yet

The Trump administration’s campaign to remove millions of people from the United States could soon be supercharged by Congress.

@Strandjunker Disastrous days we are experiencing
@Strandjunker The #USIsATerroristState. Avoid at all costs. Enter at your own risk. If anyone can make it to CANADA, please know you will be welcomed.

@Strandjunker

Thought I was reading something about 2025 until I saw the last line.

@Strandjunker
If you haven't already done so, please start thinking about an exit strategy. I'm up in 🇨🇦 and we are witnessing full on fascism in North America now. My husband is a historian and very wise, he keeps reminding me that we need to find and form strong communities. The smaller, supportive and cohesive groups have a better chance of resisting and surviving this. If this resonates with you, please connect with me.
