I'm....speechless and all out of snark on this one. This is fucking horrifying.
Single-issue voters who threw their vote away or sat out and did not help stop this, well, hope you're happy with your choices.

Seriously fucked up. Sane people saw this coming and tried to stop it. Now there's straight up Nazi shit happening in America.
hope you're happy
Or better, hope your losing sleep and sick to your stomachs and ready to take action in every available protest, election, boycott, donation, etc.
Unfortunately, they are still in "deny genocide is happening" mode.
Although a handful of them have taken a "America deserves genocide" tack instead.

Ah, the freedom-loving government flexing its muscle by turning neighborhoods into checkpoints. Door-to-door sweeps? That’s not law enforcement; that’s a dystopian scavenger hunt.
Let’s not pretend this is about “safety.” It’s about fear—fear as policy, fear as spectacle. When agents knock on every door “just in case,” they’re not enforcing laws; they’re shredding trust. Schools full of anxious kids? Families sleeping with one eye open? That’s the real legacy here.
And Tom Homan’s “on the table” rhetoric? Sounds more like a threat than governance. If this is the new normal, then democracy’s just a word we slap on the side of the bus while it careens off a cliff.
Homan didn't just threaten individuals and communities, he threatened city and state officials who would dare get in his way. Almost like he knows what he's doing will draw a lot of ire.
He's taking small town good ol' boy sheriff attitude to the federal level, that's why conservatives love him.
The good ol' boy sheriff attitude isn’t just a personality quirk—it’s a power fetish wrapped in folksy branding. Conservatives don’t love him for his “toughness”; they love him because he’s a blunt instrument for their authoritarian fantasies.
Threatening officials isn’t law enforcement; it’s political theater designed to intimidate and dominate. The ire he’s drawing? That’s the sound of people waking up to the fact that this isn’t governance—it’s performative cruelty masquerading as leadership.
By instilling fear, fascist regimes aim to create a compliant population that willingly surrenders individual freedoms and critical thinking in exchange for a false sense of security and belonging.....https://prizedwriting.ucdavis.edu/fascism-and-denigration-individual
Fuck the NRA. They're totally against all gun regulation unless it's checks notes regulating minorities having guns.
I feel like they are pushing everyone to the breaking point. How long until they knock on the wrong door and get shot?
Like a Nazi looking for Jews.
In other news the first arrivals are at gitmo concentration camp.

Tell them to suck your dick and get a warrant, that is what I would do. Unconstitutional douchebags need to learn the constitution one insult at time.
And then they shoot you in the head and it's fine because this is Trump's America.
Also make sure to check their warrants when they have them, they often only get an administrative warrant which doesn't mean dick

This is awful. Similar to the deportation of Jews in the 1940's in the Third Reich.
Doesn't hurt to know your legal rights, but we're also in "put people in a concentration camp" territory now, so they will likely be ignored.
The thing is you have to force them to do it illegally, brutally, while people can see it. If you give in, if you agree to things, it's too easy for them.
Yes, many people who stand up to them will die. It's already been allowed to get to that point. Yet if you sit back and give in, it happens so much more quickly, and much more brutally.
This is especially true if you're white, or at least not openly a minority. If you're a middle aged white male, make them go through you. It's dangerous, you might not make it, so make sure you're ready. White men standing up to them, constantly, is cognitive dissonance to them. They'll expect you to always be on your side, and when everyone isn't, they stumble.
If people constantly resist them at every angle they will fail. We will lose good people doing it, and we have to.

It helps if you google (specifically Google) things immigrants might google. It hides hotspots on the map for search terms.
Specifically, click this and search for a made up name. The goal is not to ddos. This is a useful site that we want to stay up. The goal is privacy. They're not above using this data.
Tell your loved ones that if you are detained by ICE, they can try to use ICE’s online detainee locator to find you: https://locator.ice.gov/odls/#/search

Hmmmm those are paper thin plate carriers. Makes you think.
Are you telling me these tacticool cops aren’t actually operators?
I mean those bump helmets are definitely representative of ICE at large, useless security theater to give fragile white egos an unearned sense of safety.
Now that I take a closer look, this Patriot Soldier looks a little...husky.
Gravy Seals in a joint strike operation with Meal Team Six.
But honestly that's soft body armor inserts into a plate carrier. It's fasc fashion.

This is literally what 2A supporters have been saying they need to prepare for. They have proven many years ago that they are interested entirely in being the brownshirts.
2017 Democrats: "Trump's expansion of the ICE is creating a personal police force to do his bidding."
2025 Democrats: "The fuck you want me to do about it? I already warned you this would happen."

That's not fascist at all.
Aufmachen!
Next they're going to start marking houses with an X
It’ll all be OK if your papers are in order….
...and other lies the Nazis used to say
Oh, it’s no lie — but to a nazi, “in order” is pretty subjective.
There's this old song by a British band called The Clash. Something something about Brixton. And the Brits don't even have a second amendment.
When they kick at your front door How you gonna come?
With your hands on your head Or on the trigger of your gun
