Standing against fascism is now domestic terrorism—by presidential decree.
Anyone committed to fighting fascism can now be deemed an enemy of the state, arrested, and held—possibly without full due process—on the claim that they're a "terrorist."
Just like that, we lost America.

Republicans are about to pass the largest increase in police funding *ever* in the United States, with almost all of that funding going to ICE and agencies that partner with ICE. That’s not even including the additional funding for more incarceration/surveillance.

What the hell is going on at McArthur Park in Los Angeles, CA! Looks like these militarized thugs are doing some kind of federal disappearing operation on street vendors in the park. This is only going to get worse with the new bloated ICE budget. #UnMaskICE

As someone who lives in Los Angeles, don’t let social or mainstream media gaslight you into thinking there’s a violent uprising taking place here. The Trump administration is trying to punish this state and this city. He’s also setting a precedent to unleash troops on Democratic cities.
