After being held in two of them as a boy, I fought for decades urging America to never again build concentration camps and put human beings in them. It breaks my heart to watch this happen twice now in my own lifetime.

Ditto.
Got told, again, to keep politics out of my posting here as it will affect my book sales. Fuck that. My readership mostly knows my politics and doesn't give a fuck. And if you're a nazi cunt, or want to appease nazi cunts, you're not going to like my books anyway.

Ian Austin, an Army veteran, was arrested for protesting ICE in Minneapolis. But he’s continued protesting. Senior reporter @julialurie.bsky.social spoke to him.
“When they say, ‘Why would you be out here?’ How the fuck could I not be out here?” he says. “My nation is under attack."

Moments like this are why I write (aside from being my morning meditation). My protagonist was just handed a brown-paper wrapped package. At this point, I have no clue what's in it.
I'm about to find out. I'm going to type *something* there. I have to say I'm pretty stoked to discover what it is!

So...uh...we'll stop terrorizing you when you stop calling us names?
Here's the thing, Greg — free speech is still protected by the First Amendment under the Constitution.
If you want folks to stop saying you're the secret police who are kidnapping and killing people, maybe stop acting like the secret police who are kidnapping and killing people.

Bovino: "When politicians, community leaders, & some journalists engage in that heated rhetoric we keep talking about, when they make the choice to vilify law enforcement calling law enforcement 'Gestapo' or using the term 'kidnapping,' that is a choice & there are actions & consequences."

We discussed this on our podcast and substack RightAndFreedom.com. when we get through this, we can't continue our 200 year habit of not punishing these people. We must be swift and punishment must be severe enough to deter for 100 years. No more "let's just pretend that didn't happen."

At this point, we must not just work to “Abolish ICE.” We need to work to “Abolish MAGA.” It’s a cancer to our Republic—and like with all cancers, we either need to remove it--or it will kill us. Those are the stakes. My article deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/trump-regi...
Trump regime will kill you and then smear you as a terrorist—just like other fascist regimes
