AaronThe dust has not even settled from the announcement that ICE will be receiving more funding than the entire US prison system, and that a new concentration camp is opening in Florida, and already Trump is announcing he will deport US citizens.
This is what's in store for us:
If you are in the US and are not trembling in fear right now, you have not grasped the full seriousness of the situation we are now facing.
Please join the discussion on what to do about it here:
We are at the 11th hour.
SimonThey are now publicly boasting of their plans to EXTERMINATE at least 65 million people in this country.

@elnorterecuerda.bsky.s...
La población completa de latinos en EEUU es de 65 millones. Ella está hablando de todos nosotros.

Las vidas de los cocodrilos importan.
La buena noticia es que les podemos garantizar al menos 65 millones de comidas a los cocodrilos si empezamos a alimentarlos ahora.

@fightfascism I could use some help from Spanish speakers here in ensuring this was properly translated.
Catherine Schmidt@hosford42 @fightfascism How utterly horrifying My god
VulcanTouristTake a step back to regain your emotional footing....
@VulcanTourist @fightfascism What do you mean?
When they lead with cruel jokes, they do not stay jokes for long. This is really happening.
Certainly I know that. It's precisely why I know how upsetting and disturbing it is for you, because I know that you know that, too. Something like that invokes a fight-or-flight response, but you've already said you can't flee (damn, I remember some things). Fighting is not something that comes naturally to us, though, we're pacifists.
@VulcanTourist @fightfascism Oh, I see. I thought you were saying I was being too emotional for *you*, rather than that maybe I was being too emotional for *me*. I did say I was trying to take a day off from this for mental health, and I appreciate the reminder. It is *extremely* upsetting. I have rarely been brought to tears by news.
My wife cried when Trump was FIRST elected, and she's more neurotypical than the two of us. She's way past crying now.
She's way past crying now. She's in the need-to-take-a-year-off phase now. I can't talk to her about any current developments without her waving me away. In that situation, I am like you were with that post. I try to talk to her because I need her to acknowledge it, need her to help motivate me to do what comes next, for our survival.
(I need to stop editing comments after the fact, no one ever sees the edits.)
@VulcanTourist @fightfascism I see the edits
So do I when people do it, but you have to tick the notification box for it and I don't think that's a default. I don't often see other people do it nearly as much as I do.
> I don't often see other people do it...
I meant "it" as in "edit to add missing context" (as I almost did again here), not tick the button to enable notifications of it... though perhaps the latter is also true (in spite of me never seeing them do it).
Madeleine Morris@hosford42 @fightfascism @StillIRise1963
This woman is a psychopath. 65 million.
And, I suspect she’s not alone in her feelings.
How did these people get to be such utterly sick fucks?
notthatkindofdoctor@hosford42 @fightfascism
I guarantee plenty of those 65 million have had family in this country (and before it ever was a concept) long before hers ever showed up to lord over everyone. Where is this conservative cunt's male guardian? She needs more supervision and perhaps some time in a room that locks from the outside like supply side God intended.

Seiðr@hosford42 @fightfascism My father was a child when the fascists launched the failed coup that started the Spanish Civil War. The fascists had been <years> using that kind of rhetoric. My father spent years of his life in a refugee concentration camp in Southern France. To me the lesson is clear: when the fascists start to talk like that, do unto them before they do unto thee.
Stumpy The Mutt@Illuminatus @hosford42 @fightfascism I lived in Barcelona as a kid in the early 1970's - it's a very different place now!

@hosford42 yeh, they were saying this before the election, but those of us who know history and the coded language Nazis use, were ignored.
They don't need to use the coded language now as they're in power.
Americans have no one to blame but themselves, Germans understood this only after the fall of Berlin
@sortius Blame is irrelevant right now. We need to focus on WTF we are going to *do* about it. Blame can be sorted out when the crisis is over.
@hosford42 sorry, but I'm not American, so to the rest of the world, this is watching Hitler rise while the population ignores what they need to do. Blame is all we have right now, as we've lived under American hegemony for our entire lives.
I've been saying for months, before he was even inaugurated, you have three choices to remain "free" as a citizen of a fascist state: collaborator, partisan, or refugee
@sortius But what *do* we do? We aren't ignoring it. At least I'm not, and most of the others here aren't. The problem is, what actions do we even take to stop it? The nation is like a runaway train, and all I know to do is get out and push. One person taking a stand alone ends up a smear on the tracks. So, I've been trying to drum up support for more collective, practical action.
That's why I created this message group:
If you have concrete, actionable ideas, please share them.
social elephant in the room@hosford42 @sortius @fightfascism
the only thing I can think off is strikes and/or actions that have an economical impact.
they still need the country to run properly to carry out their odious plan. (gas, food)
money is worthless if you cannot buy anything with it.
I do not have the answer, but this is the path I would explore
@tseitr @sortius@infosec.exchange @fightfascism Thanks!
AndrocatRead up on what the Irish did.
Organize.
Build bridges to the rural poor that just now realize they were used to harm themselves.
And then: general strikes. Hit them in the wallet.

Jeff Zugale - Z Factory@hosford42 @fightfascism bragging about feeding 65 million people to alligators, that’s really something.
How about you first, psycho?
GailWaldby@bsky.social❌👑
@gwaldby I added a Spanish translation, but I had to use a machine translator. Hopefully it gets the point across effectively
@hosford42 You're welcome.
bouriquet@hosford42 @fightfascism And how many voted for Trump? You believed the lies and never thought he would try to deport million, revoke citizenship, remove birthright citizenship from your children!
I have been vocally anti-Trump and anti-fascism from day one. Please aim this at the appropriate people. Find a nest of right-winger fascists and let them have it. They are not here, in this forum, or I would be blasting them with much stronger words than you are using.
@hosford42 Agree. We’re all preaching to the choir. Unfortunately too many of the people who need to hear our words will still not listen, even as they are being carried away by masked ‘agents’ or are out of a job, or have a home demolished by a hurricane that there is no FEMA to provide aid and housing. They were brainwashed by what they wanted to hear.
FAFO.
FAFO.
@bouriquet My question, then, to take things to practical action, is how do we get the ears of the people whose minds can actually be changed, as opposed to those who already understand or those who never will? IDK how to do this, and you probably don't either, but it doesn't hurt to ask, especially in a public forum where someone else might have ideas.
lp0 on fire 
@hosford42 @fightfascism, if that were in the UK, we'd be left with a population approximately that of West Yorkshire – at most.
@lp0_on_fire @fightfascism Thank you. It's important to highlight the incomprehensible scale of the mass murder they are plotting.
ジギーくん@lp0_on_fire @hosford42 @fightfascism As for Poland, it would leave our population in negative numbers.
A Flock of Beaglesi would like to fill her face with 65 million pounds of lead.
