As the fascists' personal histories are bursting thru their media choke-holds here and there, the last line of defense is riding in to rescue them with distractions to keep the idiots distracted.

natcon members say it best

"The white Europeans who settled America and conquered the West “believed they were forging a nation—a homeland for themselves and their descendants,” he said. “They fought, they bled, they struggled, they died for us. They built this country for us. America, in all its glory, is their gift to us, handed down across the generations. It belongs to us...."

scary indeed!

It’s a gross distortion to claim that only white people built this country, but it probably is not a distortion to say that only white people murdered millions of Native Americans to take their lands.

That's not how the world works, even if humans act that way.

Supposedly it's not about racial profiling, they could stop anybody, but at first they only pick on those 'undesirable' dark skinned folks.

Stop and frisk let people go if they didn't have drugs or weapons. Now, they arrest you if du hast papellen nicht.

Dump has repeatedly said that he wants to go after the "home growns". The next logical step is arrests and detainment of American citizens. DOJ/FBI/Homeland Security have been staffed with people who will have no problem with pursuing this.

They're already sending people to prisons in Uganda and South Sudan who have been convicted of no crime, who have had no type of hearing or due process at all.

I guess the mainstream media has mentioned it, but the degree that this has been normalized, not just by the right wing press, but overall, is shocking. All outlets should be screaming about this 24/7; there should be masses out in the streets.

if we see the red hats, can we call someone? Sounds like Trump wants to target political enemies.

since the day their ancestors were dragged over here 400 years ago, and every day in the current era. Statistics are published continually and no one seems to care or attempts to remedy the problem.

Newcomers are even "warned" that historically, this country has always flipped at any time to go after others, but...

That's what prompted the old Family Guy meme and its variations (from the episode "Turban Cowboy" in 2013) -

It's our lived experience.

when they stopped the firefighters. Tribes have advised their members to carry proof of citizenship - but what will that matter when they just load people into their unmarked vans without listening to them.

These untrained, likely mentally challenged, incels have been given supreme power over all of us now.

That's the answer. I'm not an immigrant ... I'm a Caucasian middle-class woman, but I always have my US passport to show ID. I advise anyone who might be stopped, please get and carry a US passport. Don't allow it to be taken away from you.

I also have a copy of my birth certificate but I don't usually carry it with me because it's fragile.

If you have a Green Card or any other ID, use the same precaution, but also carry another form of ID such as a state driver's license or voting card.

on my phone of course.

It’s only a matter of time until Sotomayor is stopped on her way to work, or at a restaurant, or out shopping, by some ICE goon who thinks/pretends she’s an illegal. He’ll get to humiliates, detain her, even incarcerate her just because of the color of her skin, eyes, or hair. The rest of the Supremes surely knew that they were setting it up.

So I’m guessing inside 30 days.

this is unpresidented!"

ciertamente me preocupa, sin embargo lo que más me preocupa es que todos los estadounidiense están riesgo!

When it was her time to respond she took a long quiet pause and came out with just this. That it will happen to other groups.
I've heard or read others stating the same thing but I can't recall where. Maybe bluesky or other MSNBC programs.

Racial profiling HAS been in the law enforcement toolbox with little recourse even before this decision. Cops have already realized this for years.

I know there's a cop saying in at least one city:
Q: What do you call a black man on a bike?
A: Probable cause.

I heard this over 30 years ago.

18. America needs to read the end of the story, very quickly.
Yesterday
This isn't just about brown people like me. It's about all obviously white males being exempt, period. Not just obvious minorities but also all women can be stopped, frisked and questioned in states with laws against abortion. Think about it.

Welcome to my world. "We asked you nicely", not to vote for him, "now youse can't leave." It's just a matter of time.
Oh, and those pesky laws about pedophelia, rich white guys, don't worry about them. Have at it, you're exempt.
Slavery, back on the books in no time.
It's a trickle now, but the flood is coming thanks to 6 King makers on the Supreme Court. That includes one black male that won't live to see what his vote has done and one white female that will get a box seat to watch what her work has done.

Stupid, stupid, stupid voters.

Anyone thinks this fascism will stop with "show me your papers" is in for a very rude awakening.

She is the real deal.

The kids in Napal know what they’re doing.

Our kids are busy listening to Nazi podcasts and whining because girls won’t fuck them.

This is by design.

They are just getting in a room and deciding what they want for each case and never explaining any legal basis for any of it.

That is horrible. Dems should be actively campaigning o issues like this. The average person doesn't understand how the court works, it with some repetition, we could make the "shadow docket" think stick. That phrase already sounds like Darth Vader. We don't have to explain. Just go with , "If you give the Democrats a governing majority, we will reform the Supreme Court, with term limits, a strict code of conduct and ethics, the end of the shadow docket, and no more stolen seats."

Before he tries to rescind the ADA so that he can continue to openly mock disabilities.

First they came for the scientists.

I think many of us recognize that unless we are all safe, none of us is safe. Many more do not. They think I'm white, I'm republican, I'm "christian" - ain't gonna save you.

so they can "come for them".

There will be bloodshed.

And he is a wealthy, powerful white man who is willing to speak up for those who aren't. I love the fact that Gov. Pritzker has more money and social status than Chump, and he never misses an opportunity to let him know.

People need to stop with the "it could happen" and realize that it IS happening.

Hitler, like Trump, started with a few "out groups" and, seeing how simple it was to get away with mass murdering them, he advanced his idea to encompass everyone, potentially. And he did, in fact, use his ICE troops to snatch people off the street and disappear them. (Oh, wait, did I say ICE? Of course I meant its father, the Gestapo.

Your well-taken point is that without constantly ramming home the comparison, the assault on Democracy is allowed to continue, without the vilification it requires.

The SCOTUS -- and Roberts SCOTUS is the worst in our history, the most shamefacedly partisan Court in our history. By allowing ICE to profile hispanics, these bastards -- and bastardette -- knowingly and eagerly opened the door for their favorite "president" to use his absolute power to arrest, detain, and deport or literally kill anyone he dislikes.

And this is not in any degree an exaggeration. The boa constrictor, as Shel Silverstein reminds us, starts at your feet, nibbling a bit at your toes and ankles, but it never, never stops there. It gradually moves up until it has consumed the entire body. What was the tag line of the song?
"Oh, dread, its up to my . . . ."
