It's interesting to see HOW MANY videos there are on YouTube about other countries Americans can easily move to. More and more pop up each day. 🤔😍

It will never not be insane that our country is being turned into a surveillance/police state dystopia by an international cabal of greed diseased, fascist tyrants with sadism kinks who trafficked and raped children.

Trump is 79 years old with brain damage. If he waited for others, he would not be able to destroy your country as fast as he has. What the ever loving fuck are you waiting for? a written invitation?

Let’s say you live in the southern US (definitely below 35°N). You have a pet that you feed at sundown every day and it’s been that way for years. You suddenly move north, above 45°N. Would your pet just roll with it or go mental from it?

jack asked if i would sketch up a poster to tell people in nearby neighborhoods about the partnership between flock and ring, and this is what i came up with. it can be printed on an 8.5x11 sheet of paper.
![YOUR RING CAMERA IS AN ICE AGENT
[a drawing of a ring camera with an ice agent dragging a person away in its field of vision]
"In October of 2025, Amazon's Ring announced its partnership with FLOCK, an A.I. surveillance group that freely shares its footage with ICE, the secret service, and the navy. Flock customers can use A.I. tools to sift through footage to assist in all manner of operations (like raids and deportations) without a warrant. Unplug Ring! Melt ICE! Protect your neighbors!

The Trump regime's position seems to be that Republicans have the right to bear arms and everyone else has the right to get shot by them.

Reminder: All it would take to end the murder of American citizens by an untrained government goon squad is 16 Republicans in Congress voting with Dems to defund ICE (or 23 to impeach and remove Trump — 3 in House & 20 in Senate). That’s it. 23 Americans can vote for the public and end all of this.
