BREAKING: 60 Minutes just exposed the lie. Over 75% of those deported to El Salvador’s mega-prison are innocent. No crimes. No charges. No justice. This is manufactured fear and state-sanctioned abuse.

This is the President not only purporting to arrogate unto himself the ability to “take away free speech rights,” but also to do so for speech because it “aggravates and irritates.”

The bottom line is these people running our country are literally foreigners to the concept of democracy.

Trump: "We took the freedom of speech away because that's been through the courts and the courts said you have freedom of speech, but what has happened is when they burn a flag it agitates and irritates crowds."

donald trump is a fascistic leader who has surrounded himself with people who are explicitely pro-fascistic that want to end democracy as we know it and punish anyone who dissents. pretending otherwise leads me to believe you agree with them doing this

That's fine, nothing to see here. Just the current administration saying the are gonna use the US military to cart out strikes against America citizens who they "claim" are antifia

My gosh. After the US bombed multiple boats in the middle of the ocean, murdering people on grounds that they were allegedly "carrying drugs," the US Attorney General says "Just like we did with cartels, we're going to take the same approach, President Trump, with Antifa."

To the Trump Gestapo, these are not kids. Just like the Nazis before them, they're subhuman. There's no difference. This is literally happening all over again and so far, enough people don't understand that we are quickly becoming Nazi Germany 2.0.

The problem with America isn’t the rich taking advantage of the poor, it’s the poor being OK with that.

MTG, Tucker Carlson, and Candace Owens saying things that make sense on the same day is a clear indication that hell has indeed frozen over.

Revisit these threads and share them with people that need reminding.

It can’t happen to us…right?

Amber Speaks Up @amberspeaks.bsky.social · 18d

Press “coordination” (Gleichschaltung) meant every outlet had to align with state policy. By 1933, the Reich Press Law outright banned Jews and dissidents from journalism. That’s how fast a free press can vanish.

Original thread 👇🏻

Amber Speaks Up @amberspeaks.bsky.social · 18d

In 1933 Germany, the first thing the regime did was muzzle the press and silence dissent.

Newspapers were shut down, journalists jailed, opposition voices branded as enemies of the state.
