They will still charge you with attempted murder and terrorism if you’re caught doing that, they’ve charged people worse for less. They have been detaining people and making up charges against even the most passive peaceful activists.

For REAL, this Platner dude is going to get elected and turn out to be a literal social fascist and people will be shocked somehow. Do people forget that a candidate can just say whatever they want to get your vote?

He had that tattoo for years after it was clear he knew what it meant, you really are going to trust someone is a good candidate that not only did several tours in Iraq but was hired by fucking Blackwater to continue killing because he stated he enjoyed it? If this is the best candidate in the state we are so truly fucked, I refuse to believe there is no one better that could run.

Nobody is perfect but are you kidding me with this? You really are going to say this guy is awesome, who stated essentially “millions may die because our way of life is better”, had no problem with being a for-profit war criminal less than ten years ago, because he claims he has good views on healthcare. I agree people change but that doesn’t mean he should be trusted in a position of power.

Police everywhere in the US have done it for a while, many people were beaten in 2020 by police wearing masks with their badge numbers covered, even in Democrat “sanctuary cities”. Not to mention DHS and BORTAC agents which have been detaining people with masks and no identification as well. People talk about defunding ICE which needs to happen but there are several agencies waging this campaign.

One of the foundational inspirations for modern white supremacists/right wingers is the book the Turner Diaries in which there is a day, the ‘Day of the Rope’, where the right wing has an outpouring of massacres against leftists, afterwards cementing their hold on the US as a fascist ethno-state. Several anti-government/racist terror attacks have explicitly had the goal of starting this.

The Trump administration is doing everything they can do inspire this, or to inspire a mass antifascist uprising so they can imprison their opposition. I believe they would fail at crushing a wide-spread insurgency though because most people don’t actually like Nazis, and average people are getting tired of this shit.

I thought you were making a correction at first but this is a helpful comment for the metric folks, 31.16 feet is 9.5m 👍

I gave you the data, as they say “facts don’t care about your feelings.”

The trend has continued steadily since then, and furthermore,

Bier wrote in November that his work showed the Biden administration “has removed a higher percentage of arrested border crossers in its first two years than the Trump DHS did over its last two years. Moreover, migrants were more likely to be released after a border arrest under President Trump than under President Biden.”

This is from 2024, the DHS spokesperson at the time:

“Under this Administration, the estimated annual apprehension rate has averaged 78%, identical to the rate of the prior Administration.”

The idea Biden opened the borders is thoroughly debunked. Like I said you’re the one telling me a bunch of bullshit so it’s on you to disprove reality, I don’t care enough to spoonfeed you the facts.

This took 30 seconds to find

Visa overstays have outnumbered people who enter the country illegally at the Southern border every year since 2007, according to a report by the Center for Migration Studies. The report’s authors estimate that the number of total visa overstays was 600,000 more than the total number of border crossers and that in 2014, visa overstays accounted for two-thirds of all new undocumented immigrants.

This article has the most recent data I could find but if you look at the sources you can probably find better info. You’re welcome to prove me wrong.

You’re free to go look at the statistics easily found, I’m not gonna do your homework for you. Were you at the border?

“Improper entry” through illegally crossing a border is a crime, but the majority of undocumented immigrants in the US don’t enter that way. “Unlawful presence” after a visa expires or is denied receives civil penalties rather than criminal, meaning they can’t lead to imprisonment but only fines or a court action like deportation.

I’ve always been anti-capitalist but in a Big Sean song he said “money is the greatest drug” and I hadn’t really thought about it that simply, they really are just addicted to wealth and it warps the brain. The dynastic capitalist families have encouraged this delusion for generations, further entrenching their alternate worldview.

Actually it’s a civil offense akin to a parking ticket which is separate from criminal charges.

You call yourself freedomadvocate yet you advocate for the destruction of freedom, interesting.

They sell bulletproof backpacks in the US for children, not uncommonly. Body armor has been recommended for serious protesters for a while. In 2020 numerous average people were shot by right-wing opposition at protests.

You are wrong, people are pissed and are willing to show it. Have you never felt serious about something in your life? He didn’t initiate the violence, the raids in his community from masked fascist goon squads started the violence. He is defending the people.

Well when we fought the original Nazis it wasn’t limited to the officers and leadership.
