Well, I suppose there are no Black people or trans people or lesbian fire chiefs in Texas, because... if there were any we'd know about them by now as the right would be blaming them for the flood.

-= We hoped we never had to do this but here we are and we now have to do this. =-

American trans humans are under threat and like in 1930s Germany, they now have to GTFO of their home country.

We have decided we need to collect some information on the possible ways out.

So we made a wiki.

We are collecting information on possible exit routes into various countries. We focus on work, study and self employment visas as they are available at the moment.

I've spent not-insignificant amount of time at protests in the US, looking for signs of IMSI catchers and never found anything, so when I saw this, my ears perked up:

Exclusive: Evidence of cell phone surveillance detected at anti-ICE protest

Mobile network anomalies consistent with cell phone surveillance were detected at a July 4 protest at an ICE field office in Washington state.

I just want to know why Walgreens is the way that it is. #healthcare

Prime Day is a vapid shrine to excess capitalism.

We need to go back to, and celebrate, the real meaning... The death and rebirth of Optimus Prime.

"Don’t put this on God. You had plenty of warnings this might happen, and you chose to ignore them. You chose to leave the people you’re sworn to serve in the most vulnerable circumstances. You chose to risk danger befalling them."

None of this was God's plan.

As a follow up to Israel attacking Iran, the Islamic republic regime (ruling Iran) is being horrific to Afghan refugees/immigrants. Afghans are becoming scapegoats and blamed for spying for Israel. The most vulnerable people get most fucked over - always.

And people thought war was going to help.

If you think ICE is bad now, just wait till they hire 10,000 more agents and open more concentration camps.
@georgetakei You can be sure they'll hire thugs with the "correct" ideology, too.

The SA was instrumental in the Nazi’s rise to power yet played a diminished role during the Second World War. The Brownshirts are infamous for...

@dazo @veronica @georgetakei I call them the brown shorts.

@dazo @veronica @georgetakei The pendant to the Third Reich would be the Schutzstaffel, SS. Among other things they ran the Konzentrationslager.

Schutzstaffel - Wikipedia

@dazo @veronica @georgetakei renaming them to BS sounds logical to me (as a Germsn)

@georgetakei

And by the end of the year, half of the Americans are working for ICE, the other half are in concentration camps.

@georgetakei tf - this timeline sucks.
@georgetakei The SS had 800k employees at the end.. so they still have to go quite a bit if they want to beat Adolf in that chapter of the book..
@georgetakei 10,000 more people without souls

@georgetakei

I'm really hoping the tyranny bill dies in congress.

@georgetakei No all they need to do is done Brown Shirts and caps and weird riding jodhpurs. They won't have to wear masks any more.

OK but I'm still mad that he abandoned ship.

I'm staying and fighting. These guys are fools. We're on to them. This ain't Germany 100 fucking years ago.

@Paperposts @georgetakei
WE ARE HERE ALREADY! Masked plain clothes thugs in unmarked cars and no identification. J6 terrorists? KKK? Local militias? Who are these goons?
@Paperposts #uspol what about when the official police stop wearing uniforms and dress like terrorists?
@georgetakei what is their hiring criteria? Must be a high school dropout?
@georgetakei Everyone here, except for @georgetakei who had to live through those times, needs to listen to Rachel Maddow's excellent podcast series Ultra. We are facing a potential repeat of the 20s and 30s. Silver Shirts, Father Coughlin, Senator Ernest Lundeen...

@georgetakei I thought I was done crying over this.

Congrats, dickheads!

@georgetakei The US will NOT be a safe place to live, and should not be visited by any person of colour, or critic of the regime.
@georgetakei It would be so much cheaper to just offer people 50K to get out of the US. There would be a line at the border, but it is really about gleeful sadism.
@georgetakei ICE is the modern Gestapo.
@georgetakei will they at least be renamed to match the real task? I think β€žSSβ€œ would’ve a better fit
@georgetakei It is actually worse: after they round up every immigrant for whom there is the flimsiest excuse for an arrest, plus all the people misidentified, you then have 10,000 additional guys whose job security lies in finding more people to arrest. And that means the rest of us.

@georgetakei and since grift will eat most of the budget, those they hire will be untrained thugs, the camps sham constructions.

Millions are going to suffer.

@georgetakei The fact that there could even *be* 10000 more people waiting in the wings to *be* ICE agents is the most concering implication. Are people queuing up to be inducted into the the hobnails and facemask camp, really? These are ordinary decent people's neighbours.
@georgetakei And that thought horrifies me.
@georgetakei At what point do they start offering rewards for turning in dissidents?
