Because of trump declaring ANTIFA domestic terrorists.

Personally I think it makes sense to push back on the Trump admin, about their labeling anyone opposed to fascists terrorists as well as other things. But some people are afraid to be noticed by the federal gov and will actively back away

Maybe I didn't phrase it right I know several NAFO fellas / Ukraine supporters who, if at a rally, saw people holding a sign saying "I am ANTIFA" they would leave

They really don't like the memes about the Normandy invasion being ANTIFA. They view being associated with anything ANTIFA is dangerous

Some weirdo on Twitter has been absolutely melting down for like 36 straight hours because I posted:

When this is over, do not forget what ICE did, and what ICE is. And do not make room for them in society. Make sure they know that they are, and will continue to be, reviled and beneath contempt.

There are many people in the USA who are either in denial or are afraid of what is going on in terms of trump basically declaring war on groups of Americans.

Some will distance themselves if NAFO and ANTIFA become synonymous in the public discourse due to that fear 🤷🏻‍♂️

A 15 year old boy with autism went missing earlier this week

He was selling fruit with his family in Springbranch when he disappeared

They filed a missing person’s report & begged the public to help find him

Turns out he was in a Houston ICE detention facility

They kidnapped a disabled child!

“.. Inside the White House, top advisers joke that they are ruling Congress with an “iron fist,” according to people who have heard the comments. Steve Bannon, the influential Trump ally, likened Congress to the Duma, the Russian assembly that is largely ceremonial.”

DID YOU KNOW THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION THINKS IT CAN UNILATERALLY CHANGE LAWS TO BENEFIT THEM?

OMB changed the wording of the Law where Furloughed Federal Employees are guaranteed back pay, to reflect they are not.

www.govexec.com/pay-benefits...

OMB deletes reference to law guaranteeing backpay to furloughed feds from shutdown guidance

An Office of Management and Budget FAQ document now states that only excepted employees forced to work without pay are guaranteed backpay at the conclusion of a lapse in appropriations.

We could occupy DC. Not sure that would actually result in meaningful change unless we decided to go all winter palace

Stephen Miller said the quiet part out loud. Trump has “plenary authority,” then suddenly went silent. Their plan wasn’t to be public yet. Clearly, someone hit the panic button in his earpiece.

It gets weirder: CNN uploaded the interview with the “plenary authority” comment edited out.

Check the timestamps. On CNN’s website, the uploaded interview starts at 2:52. On their YouTube page, the upload starts at 2:47. The “plenary authority” comment by Miller was at 2:41, as shown in my side-by-side video post. CNN should be reporting on what Miller said. It’s news!

Did you ever do birthright? I went in 2013, it was really interesting but there were things I was surprised by that others in my group seemed not to notice. For example the way our bus cut through the West Bank on our way back from Tzfat surprised me and I was even more surprised when we stopped

Kernel Korn @kernelkorn420.bsky.social · 3d

at a settlement for dinner (more chicken schnitzel which seemed to be part of the default menu for Americans who were part of a tour). I hadn't realized how much the Israelis take as a given that the West Bank is already their territory. It was definitely eye opening.
