How do you convince the average American blue maga liberal to move past "Give the slave catchers better training" as a genuine world outlook? How do you convince liberals that border fascism, especially on stolen indigenous land, is horrible, and a truly bad thing?

This arrest comes after a week of Fox News and other far-Right outlets turning out a stream of content about one person's Instagram videos.
If they can make someone into a "terrorist" simply for speech on social media they don't like - they can and will, do it to anyone.

It’s hard to put into perspective how truly massive the warehouse is that was recently sold by the Rockefeller Group to the Department of Homeland Security for $70 million to build a concentration camp in Surprise, AZ. Across the street is a huge neighborhood and a school. It’s 400,000-square-feet.

I think a fun idea would be to publicize a national "ice amnesty day." Any ice employee that resigns can live with their shame, but anyone who still works there after IAD will be promised to be executed for crimes against humanity. Just a fun lil idea I had.
