George Takei 
π³οΈβπππ½All Democrats and two Republican senators voted for this. We need two more GOP senators to join. Fund healthcare, not the gestapo.
BuckRogers1965He is trying to position himself as the first king of the world.
Stuart (moved)From here he is, perhaps, already de facto King of America. But not yet of Europe & Greenland. Trouble is he and his techbros are aiding and abetting the far right over here with worrying success.
However the good news is their allegiance to your President is at an interesting point. Their promise to also robustly sort the immigrant problem - like your administration - is looking very wobbly alongside the universal horror at what ICE is doing in Minnesota.
The far-right are not good at marching backwards and people are noticing.
Andreas K@stuart @BuckRogers1965 @georgetakei Check again, the TechBros might be standing by their Fuhrer.
But the smart capital has been leaving the USA/USD for a couple of months already, and the exodus is rather quickening.
He is appointing himself to head an international board with power over the whole world. The appointment is for life and passes down to his children.
His Board has very few country members - mostly non-democratic. Everybody is a member of the UN.
The board may have some role in Gaza but is likely to eventually sink into oblivion. Another failed vanity project. .
Can you imagine any democratic country leader being willing to justify giving a billion of taxpayers' money to him. They would be slaughtered and ridiculed at the polls.
He probably has no idea the contempt people have about him. That includes Vlad & Xi.

tessarakt@georgetakei Why did DINOs vote for the shutdown-proof ICE funding in the first place? That cannot have been anything but intentional.
@georgetakei You dare to steal the personal stormtroopers of the Glorious Leader!
Expect to be disappeared ASAP.
xs4me2Great move indeedβ¦ unbelievable this fascismβ¦
Anita Bischoff@georgetakei Not going to happen. Collins and Murkowski, the 2 Republicans, knew it wouldn't pass. They were given permission. Remember how 'concerned' several other Republican Senators were? Tillis. Paul. Etc. Didn't prove it when it came time to vote and they never will. They're scum. They will always do the bidding of their fascist overlord. ALWAYS.
Kamo@georgetakei He is a Great Man!
Debbie Detmer@georgetakei Bernie ICE had an appropriation funded through 2029. Whoever is posting this please correct your request. We can stop Department of Homeland Security but not the ICE funding!!!
thedarknite@ddetmer @georgetakei a rescissions bill can cancel previously approved appropriations and only requires a simple majority
Peace Covey@georgetakei hiποΈ anyone reading this call your reps and senators specifically asking them to vote on this bill. it all is important. Thank you GT for posting!

$75 BILLION?! No wonder they run around like occupation forces in a foreign country, equipped like an army and brutal like the mercenaries they are. $75 bilion, that's more than most countries spend for their whole military.
But hey, the USA spend even more than that on locking away the LARGEST prison population on earth, actually 25% of all the world. Kind of logical you need to fund the stormtroopers to fill these prisons with the same kind of money...
gaige@georgetakei Hello sir, can you copy the twitter link and put it in the post too in the future? Thank you!

George, ICE isn't Gestapo - it's something in between SS and SA. I.e. much worse than Gestapo.
Gestapo was the *secret* police.
SS and SA were the *openly acting* Nazi thugs, performing the terror and atrocities the world is speaking about.
Cutting the increase? Why are Democrats voting for any ice funding at all? Why are they approving any budget at all? They are naive if they think there will be more fair elections. This is their last chance to save democracy. All federal funding is a weapon for Trump to use.
Atsina@georgetakei Damn right!
