Then resist. Fight back, for the republic and constitution you swore to serve. Fight for us, you cowardly pieces of shit.

ICE activity/raids
I mean….those are literally grocery stores. I shop at several places just like that (a halal market and a couple of small Mexican groceries). It’s not about anything other than the fact that they don’t look “heritage American” enough. It’s just more white nationalist evil Nazi bullshit. His death will be the most celebrated day on this planet since 1945.

Trump/MAGA has ruined sports
Man….do I feel ya. And I say this as a pretty white-looking Hispanic who is literally part of the power structure of this state (quite behind the scenes, mind you). I love that Bozo believes that these people can and will be saved. He’s dead-wrong, but I agree with him on one thing: we have to take action. I just think that the pragmatic action is procuring good weapons and ammo, practicing with them, and getting right with the concept that we may not live much longer. We’re going to be killing each other on a broader scale sooner than most people think. It’s so fucking unnecessary, so fucking stupid, and so fucking inevitable. The people who hate us and want us gone/dead aren’t salvageable, and aren’t worth saving. They are happy seeing my entire family in a mass grave by Alligator Alcatraz, which is literally a thing that this regime has called for. I’m done with them. Once you say “let’s do a genocide,” and then you actually start doing the genocide/ethnic cleansing, I’m done with you. Come for me or my family, and I’ll do what the Jews in Germany 1938 should have done. This is what it has come to. There’s no stopping it so long as one side insists on going all the way.

There is a 100% chance he’s seen it, and there’s a 200% chance it is a material part of his motivation for action.

Non-combat aircraft flying over epic shitshow that is Iran, with players like Trump and Bibi in the mix:

What the fuck is wrong with you, Austin?
I do love this era's rock-solid script: "I'm not racist! But....[says/endorses totally racist shit]." Like fucking clockwork. "I'm not racist! I just think all the dirty spics should get outta America!" It's fantastic.

Oh. On good authority.- Trump’s America
Understood. Does the order (or shit, one of his previous orders/tweets/truths) foreclose citizenship applications by those folks from being processed?- Trump’s America
What does this do for citizenship applications by people here on a green card from one of those countries? Because we have a legal relationship with someone who falls under that set of circumstances -- and is a dream American, incredible kid -- who has reached the age of majority and would like to pursue citizenship. And I am quite afraid that he can't now.- I for one welcome our new AI overlords

Go on.....- Trump/MAGA has ruined sports
Counterpoint: I'll want to know beforehand if any of them is remotely MAGA. I've seen Russian athletes spout rhetoric about exterminating Ukrainians. If any of these fuckers even support a little bit the planned genocide of my people from this country, they can burn in hell.- Iran
I confess that as an outsider, I don't know how true that is today. Recent (2022) polling seems to indicate that religion/religious fervor is not nearly as strong a cultural motivator as it was 47 years ago.- Minneapolis ICE Murder
Shit, I just look at the social media responses from them, in response to any criticism of ICE and its tactics: "Why are you siding with all of the millions of rapists and murderers who ICE is just trying to get off our streets?!?!?!" It's fucking psychotic. AND, it tells you that propaganda works. I have a messican last name. Therefore, I am a rapist/murderer. It's that simple. If you aren't a "heritage American," you aren't just an illegal, you are "vermin," and a "rapist/murderer." Sure makes it easy to rationalize purging all of us. After all, that's what one does with vermin and criminals, right? Need to get them off our streets. And once we've decided everyone who isn't a "heritage American" is vermin/criminal, well then....it makes the genocide, which has begun, that much easier. And yes, the genocide has begun. When you seek to purge a country of an entire ethnicity/race -- which they unquestionably are, one of his most trusted advisor suggested that all 65 million latinos in the US be dealt with at "Alligator Alcatraz" -- and you begin active efforts to do so regardless of the law or legal status (yes, they are killing people in custody, yes, they are nabbing and imprisoning people with legal status, including citizens), the genocide has begun. An argument of "well, it's not a full holocaust YET" is no argument at all. We are in our Kristallnacht. Unless we stop it, it progresses to our Auschwitz. Will it go that far? That's up to us. Right now. We are in the decisive moment. The time to stop a fire from becoming a conflagration is right when it starts. You gonna be a firefighter, or you gonna toss gasoline on the fire?- Iran
Solid observation. The disconnect between much of the diaspora (particularly the American portion) and the population in Iran seems quite material. But I wonder about whether critical mass has or hasn't happened (with limited info, it's hard to tell). Again, what's MAYBE different now is that so many are in the "we have nothing left to lose" position. Starving your people gets governments deposed. That's been a thing for a long, long time. That could work to suppress the movement.....or it could tell them "you're dead already, they're going to kill us if they stay in power, so we have no choice but to depose them." A message from the regime of "when this is over, I'm going to kill you" is a strong motivator for the intended victims to not stop until the regime is deposed. I mean, you just told me that I'm dead if I resist, I'm dead if I capitulate....I might as well try for the third option: make you dead/gone FIRST.- Greenland
"Might reasonably argue?" Dude. We're through the fucking looking glass.- Iran
I don't think it's quite that simple. A populist uprising can cause the regime's leadership to flee, leaving a vacuum. Now, the fact that there is not cogent opposition means that vacuum could be really shitty and last a while and Iran could descend into a civil war (based in part on ethnic factions) is entirely possible. In short, you're not entirely wrong, but you're not entirely right. Having a real opposition might help move things forward, but having hit a critical mass of population with nothing to lose is a unique problem for the regime.- Iran
The regime does find itself in a bit of a pickle it hasn't been in before. "Stop protesting our we'll kill you." "My dudes. We can't buy food, and much of Iran is running out of water. We're already dead. So your threats don't exactly carry the weight they might have once had." Angry about liberty and freedom is one thing. Anger about not being able to eat is quite another.- ICE activity/raids
What I don't understand is why we haven't seen Bivens-claim civil rights suits filling the court clerks' offices all over. These are good cases. FFS, the official policy AND manufacturer's instructions on pepper balls (for example) expressly say "do not shoot people in the face with this." It is clearly established law that it is wrong to violate official policy and manufacturer's plain instructions for a less-than-lethal device. It's a winner of a case.- Hegseth & the Boys
He already said it won’t be “woke”. Let me translate that for you: we are going to turn over our entire military to an AI programmed and directed by Elon to be white supremacist. Turn over the most powerful military in the world to a racist robot programmed by a psychopath. What could go wrong?- Papers, please. Surly thread of deportation cruelty dominance
They're right. They should face massive and brutal reprisals. They chose this war. We need to finish it.- Texas -- a failed state
Always. These days, it's like the free space in the middle of every bingo card. It's just....there....always. - What's happening in Iran?
