The Hidden History of Trump’s First Trip to Moscow

In 1987, a young real estate developer traveled to the Soviet Union. The KGB almost certainly made the trip happen.

Border Patrol & ICE operating under Trump regime directives have repeatedly attacked and detained US citizens violating their civil rights and human rights. Regime agents have also been caught falsifying reports, destroying evidence to cover up their actions. #3E 🧵

Russia 2.0

He hangs banners of his face from buildings.

He has masked agents in the streets.

He has the government taking stake in businesses.

He's attacking the first amendment.

He's leveraging the military.

Controlling the media.

It's the definition of communism.

Trump's America.

George was just trying to get to work.

ICE pepper-sprayed him, dragged him from his car, locked him in a detention center, and placed him on suicide watch. He even missed his young daughter’s birthday in the process.

This man is a veteran and American citizen. Don't look away.

"They put me on suicide watch and they put me in the cell, I'm naked, in like a hospital dress and just a concrete bed with like a mattress, like a thin mattress and, they leave the light on 24/7."

It would be funnier if it WAS organized. But it is just a brave cause to engender and hold close to your heart these days. When the fascists declare antifascist thought “terrorism”, we haven’t been worried enough.

Antifa means anti-fascist. The USA has been antifascist since 1941.

Speaking as a practitioner. Revolver. Never an automatic. Small caliber. No silencer. No subsonic rounds. Wear latex gloves and gloves. Pop em in the melon. Drop the weapon and the gloves. Take the cannoli.

Pretty good chance that global population will decline by a few billion in the next few years.

And pretty good chance the US population will decline by a few hundred million in the next few years too.

Huh.

Live performance of "For What It's Worth" by Buffalo Springfield in 1967. The song was written in 1966 in response to the Sunset Strip curfew riots in Los Angeles. It became an anthem for generational conflict, civil unrest, and later anti-war movements.

"The lyrics are still so relevant."

Grabbing people off the street without probable cause is illegal. These “ICE” goons deserve every bad thing that happens to them.

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.

It’s the Feds making Portland look like a war zone— not the protesters.

And honestly, these protesters are brilliant. They’re flipping the whole authoritarian cosplay on its ass!

The initial Civil War battles were between State Militias too:

"Let’s take a look at the relevant history of the path the Trump Regime has taken, putting State Guard units, uninvited, into neighboring States. The last time this happened was 1861-1865."

Trump is converting America’s Constitutional Democracy into an authoritarian dictatorship.

This conversion requires violence to complete (ICE) & will require violence to undo. There is no peaceful resolution.

Citizens have a decision to make, fight now or civil war.

CALM DOWN. There’s no civil war coming—just red states deploying troops to blue states, the government profiling by race, and a “dear leader” branding protesters as terrorists. Totally normal democracy stuff. 🙃

Now is the time to prepare yourself mentally for what is coming. You will either bow down before King DonOld and his jackboot Nazi’s or you will fight. If you choose fight, it is a fight to the death. To the victor goes life.

After law school, only one thing is gonna keep me from prosecuting murders in my home town, and that is prosecuting the shameful federal ‘law enforcement’ officers who are so proudly violating the law. Save your signing bonuses for defense lawyers. You’ll need them.

Ultimately…the worst Trump could do is execute you. You could die. Each one of us already has that outcome etched on our schedule. There’s no escape. Be more afraid of dying a coward.

They have to have a backup plan to the "dangerous immigrants" narrative. They have one. They've literally created a "terrorist group" out of thin air. I mean, you can't be having free and fair elections with "enemies from within," like the "Antifa Terrorist" group running around. It's a pretext.
