Isn't this the same kind of government behaviour and authoritarianism that freedom loving America always demonized?

Amazing how they all become the thing they most attack.

We seriously need to start pushing back on these assholes somehow

Just, y'know. If you do, shut the fuck up about it and don't tell your bestie or whoever. "Three can keep a secret if two are dead" and all.

I posted a video on my social detailing how an attack like this Kirk shooting was going to lead to acceleration into a civil conflict. I was telling people to get trained with their guns because they are going to need it soon. It’s evident in it by the way MAGA wanted to kill Democrats after this shooting was carried out by a radical right wing white man.

It was obvious way longer, I am more surprised it hasn't been happening in larger quantities.

Been training since Trump 1.0. Amazing that liberals are still calling for gun bans. Guys? Now is not the fucking time.

Create actual progressive political movements with exciting ideas like a national online forum, national food offices, m4all, national free online school k-phd that anyone can take for credits

Get your money and your self out now. First yanking visas, then capital controls.

America is an open-air prison now.

They are bringing israel home to america, an eventuality in supporting it there while having a conservative aristocracy controlling the opposition to the fascist party, which is and long has been the r party now out of their closets, in full nazi dress uniforms.

I say organize, take the d party with muscular reformists, then take the country in 2028 in the succession fight. Do not give up before we have even been able to fight due to bad leadership, like general mcclellan in the civil war.

Can I get deported back to Ireland?

Best we can do is non-citizen, in a dark dungeon near the equator.

They got new laws already from past admins allowing this, with support from both parties I would add, surely with Israel in mind. To start anyway there is no bottom to regulating speech.

They were talking earlier this summer about denaturalizing Israel protesters. And the News reported they got laws within the past decade or so allowing it if the Secretary of State wants to.
