29. It's worse than stop and frisk
Tue Sep 9, 2025, 02:46 PM
Sep 9

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.
