A DACA recipient was sent to "Alligator Alcatraz," a DOJ attorney is sounding the alarm over Pam Bondi, ICE targets youth basketball team with all American citizens, and Trump memes Superman
True but he is the figure head. Miller, Vought, and many others are doing the work. That said, they are not nearly as organized as the Nazis were and they are getting more pushback. God help us!
PUSH BACK EVERY DAY!!!!!!!! ACTION every day! Make your voice heard.
Bring it up everywhere with everybody so that the conversation of democracy and resistance to this horrible situation stays present in our minds and as we plan what we will do each day to help. I chat at grocery store line etc etc bc I want to normalize resistance and give permission to those who feel they can't bring it up etc.... we talkin' locker room, grocery store, pretty much every chance I get I put it out there where I am at and am present for a convo, I carry around the red ICE info cards in Spanish and English and give them out to anyone who wants etc etc.
PUSH BACK HARDER. This is the US, land of individualism and straight talk, not Germany of the 1930's. There are similarities in the push for authoritarianism but in the US of the 2020's there sure as hell are differences. Each of us has to be the difference.
well said. I was feeling discouraged a few days ago, and determined that I needed to stop spending most of each day reading the Substacks, answering comments, tearing my heart out over the cruelty of it all. But that doesn't mean that I am going to go silent in everyday life. I even joined the chorus that sings at our local resistance events... See y'all at the rallies on Good Trouble day--July 17. Be LOUD, be PROUD and PUSH BACK.
Hitler was an asshole, through and through. But, he wasn't a stupid man (except in the end, he spread himself too thin).
Trump is a stupid whatever... he didn't and doesn't think this stuff up himself. He has the likes of Miller and others, H Society... that do the thinking. TheRump is just the ugly mug in front of the camera... the Oaf in the Oaful Office.
True, but Eric Trump is chompin' at the bit to run after his dad dies. Fox News (now taken down) reported that Eric also has Down Syndrome like his father.
Depends on how you count... The Reichstag fire in February 1933 and the subsequent Enabling Act in March 1933 were one and two months respectively after his appointment as the Chancellor. It took him a year to combine the roles of Chancellor and President. And five more years to start a world war.
What was "normal" is gone, KB, & this is, as has been said, "the new normal." And we need to act in response, & as rapidly as possible for the sakes of our families, our children, & our nation.
I will never accept this as "the new normal" and we have to call it out for what it really is and who caused it - authoritarianism orchestrated by a demented old narcissistic imbecile wanna be dictator.
Or in our case, bring it on. America gets better day by day, and when those 20 million illegals Biden let in go home, the nation will be safer and much richer.
DC Comics's website posts the REAL Superman from 1949 (!) telling school children "your school - like our country - is made up of Americans of many different races, religions, and national origins, so…if you hear anybody talk against a schoolmate, or anyone else, because of his religion, race or national origin – don't wait: tell him THAT KIND OF TALK IS UN-AMERICAN."
The only person he is saving is himself. The only reason he is president is because Musk paid to keep him out of jail. Our elections are bought and paid for by billionaires but I still vote. Sometimes it makes a difference.
I just gagged when I saw it. I live in Cleveland where the creators of Superman lived and where the movie was filmed. We are a Blue City so showing rump (aka Shitler) as a hero really made me sick to my stomach.
I grew up in a world safe to play outdoors in. We left our front entrance unlocked. It seems like we just turned around and now have book bans, medical insecurity, international disdain, financial turmoil, and masked nazis grabbing anyone they like and imprisoning them. Someone. Anyone. Please for the love of God and all that is holy - make it stop!
What is interesting, BL, is your first 2 sentences, if we were to go back a couple of decades, would be the precursor of a longer piece bemoaning some fictional crime-ridden domestic status wherein those "dirty criminals," (all of a certain racial or ethnic persuasion) were running amok & decent (white) people were too afraid to go outside. These seeds were planted literally decades ago, and they began to bear fruit more than a few presidential administrations ago, but what we see now is that poison fruit being eagerly consumed by indoctrinated percentages of our population, all to facilitate the ease with which we have fallen into this budding authoritarianism.
It seems like it happened so fast - but we could have nipped it in the bud years ago. Made the KKK and other racist groups illegal. Refused to give Nazi’s a stage. In our noble desires for equality and freedom, we allowed those who squash it to flourish like uncontrolled wildfire.
You mean the Democrats supported the KKK and the racist hate they supported in the media, and by not supporting legislation that was pro Black Americans, you mean those people?
I would highly recommend leaving your Blue State and City because they are not safe places to live. The leaders are nuts, and the people have lost the plot.
I’m not a minute in but I wan to share my dismay with two references so far to “alligator Alcatraz.” I wonder how wise it is to substitute the Trump propaganda name for this detention camp? The more it is used by media, the more normal it becomes. It is not normal.
Agreed. I think it's important to change this language. Call it what it is. Alligator Alcatraz makes it sound like something fun from Disneyworld. Call it a concentration camp. Call it a torture prison. Describe it.
Referring to the camp as Auschwitz suggests it’s a place for planned extermination. Good god, I hope that’s not so. But I get the implication. I just think what is being done should not be trivialized by some catchy troll of a name
This shit is getting so out of hand. Going to schools messing with our youths now. WTF going to send youths in those slave camps now. Let those SOBS come up and approach a youth I’m around. Trump you not know Superman more like a SUPER FAT PIG 🐽
That makes no sense and is royally is fucked up! Do you know how many people have bench warrants and don't know! So 450 million a year things costing tax payers! I am not planning on paying federal taxes or filing in protest. No joke! They are misusing federal tax money and not supporting American wellness and support.
Russell vought said he wants employers to fear going to work we need to mass protest in front of these people's homes and govt. One protest here and there isn't enough
Fat Ass Trump couldn't get off the ground. When this administration is done. I think we need to use the Everglades prison for Pam Bondi and even Republican Congress men and Women. Same with the Senate.
Not quite 7 months in. Are we great yet?
This is one of the things that terrify me. If it's THIS bad 7 months in... and we have 3 years, 5 months more of this to go....
Hitler did his thing in 5 months 🥺
Yeah, but that monster was younger then this current one. Not that it really makes any difference.
True but he is the figure head. Miller, Vought, and many others are doing the work. That said, they are not nearly as organized as the Nazis were and they are getting more pushback. God help us!

He didn't have social media, et al. We live in a different world, changing so fast it's hard to keep up....and that's their weapon.
Me too. ? Like will we be able to restore? Will there be anything left? Will there be any quality of life?
I think there definitely will be a good quality of life, but it’s going to be hard work and will take years to build up the country.
Exactly. Will we have anything to build on? Are WE going to be here to rebuild?
I so agree!!! To put up with this for another 3 years + seems impossible.
I know. It seems like 10 years already.
I should have stayed gone. Why did I come back here?
It’s shameful how fast and far we have fallen. 😠 😢
Seeing this comment sent a shock through my body. I cannot believe it has only been 7 months. It is SO hard to stay positive and act "normal"
What was "normal" is gone, KB, & this is, as has been said, "the new normal." And we need to act in response, & as rapidly as possible for the sakes of our families, our children, & our nation.
I will never accept this as "the new normal" and we have to call it out for what it really is and who caused it - authoritarianism orchestrated by a demented old narcissistic imbecile wanna be dictator.
Bravissima! That's a start!
Or in our case, bring it on. America gets better day by day, and when those 20 million illegals Biden let in go home, the nation will be safer and much richer.
Its only been 7 months...😭😭😭
On the way there, and at least the current President knows where the heck he is and what he is doing, unlike Joe Biden, who didn't have a clue.
😂😂😂 oh yeah you know we are 😡
That fake Superman poster released by the White House made me almost lose my breakfast. Thanks, Obama /s

There is no bottom to Trump. He is as UN-AMERICAN as they come! (I'm being polite).
You missed the obvious inference: "LEGAL" immigrants, not illegal invaders, send them home.
Me too I couldn’t even finish my coffee this morning yuk what a disgrace scum he is
The only person he is saving is himself. The only reason he is president is because Musk paid to keep him out of jail. Our elections are bought and paid for by billionaires but I still vote. Sometimes it makes a difference.
You mean like Clinton, Obama, and Biden, all bought and paid for by George Soros and others?
Cant wait to see what the internet does with it!! Im sure Trump WISHES he looked like that, lol!
I actually gagged…
Thanks Obama's ? Why are you putting the obamas into nightmare?
Sorry; it was a callback to better times when Obama was the source of good things.
You mean like ISIS?
I just gagged when I saw it. I live in Cleveland where the creators of Superman lived and where the movie was filmed. We are a Blue City so showing rump (aka Shitler) as a hero really made me sick to my stomach.
That TDS has the potential to make you sick, confused, not knowing where you are, just look at old Joe, he never had a clue.
Gag me with a spoon!
Surely, as an adult, you know how to use a spoon? TDS playing up?
He’s so “macho” and such a “handsome” guy, that must be why his real face and body are NEVER used. He looks like he’s about 20 in the Superman one.🤮
Me too!!!! It shows how corrupt the WH is!
I grew up in a world safe to play outdoors in. We left our front entrance unlocked. It seems like we just turned around and now have book bans, medical insecurity, international disdain, financial turmoil, and masked nazis grabbing anyone they like and imprisoning them. Someone.

"That danged ol' Constitution!"
I know we just can't get the Democrats to understand they have to follow it!
You mean the Democrats supported the KKK and the racist hate they supported in the media, and by not supporting legislation that was pro Black Americans, you mean those people?
I would highly recommend leaving your Blue State and City because they are not safe places to live. The leaders are nuts, and the people have lost the plot.
I’m not a minute in but I wan to share my dismay with two references so far to “alligator Alcatraz.” I wonder how wise it is to substitute the Trump propaganda name for this detention camp? The more it is used by media, the more normal it becomes. It is not normal.
Agreed. I think it's important to change this language. Call it what it is. Alligator Alcatraz makes it sound like something fun from Disneyworld. Call it a concentration camp. Call it a torture prison. Describe it.
100%. Its a concentration camp for brown people where inmates are kept in kennels not fit for a dog and denied proper medicine, food and water.
Dont let them call it something cutsie and sell t-shirts with MAGA hat wearing alligators. This is not Disney.
I see people calling it Alligator Auschwitz - seems closer.
Alligator Auschwitz!!
Alcatraz held Criminals who were prosecuted under our Constitution & the “Rule of Law”
Its a concentration camp. Call it that. The Florida based concentration camp dubbed Alligator Auschwitz.
Excellent point!
Referring to the camp as Auschwitz suggests it’s a place for planned extermination. Good god, I hope that’s not so. But I get the implication. I just think what is being done should not be trivialized by some catchy troll of a name
Alligator Auschwitz
I think trumpee should spend one night there to see how it feels, take Miller with him and a few others.
Kristi Noem should test drive one of the bunks in the dog kennels they built.
Make it make sense! What world is this? How much longer...
Aaron! Stellar, informative reporting as ALWAYS! Thank you!
OMG his damn tariff bullshit! He is such a drama king and thrives on hurting people! His approval ratings are going down, down and down!
This shit is getting so out of hand. Going to schools messing with our youths now. WTF going to send youths in those slave camps now. Let those SOBS come up and approach a youth I’m around. Trump you not know Superman more like a SUPER FAT PIG 🐽
Aaron- Thank you for your news broadcasts. They are highly informative and we look forward to hearing what you have to say.
The WH Superman post is more proof the cult has lost their GD minds. Peak absurdity. LOOK! It's a turd! It's a pain! It's..Pooperman! :D
That makes no sense and is royally is fucked up! Do you know how many people have bench warrants and don't know! So 450 million a year things costing tax payers! I am not planning on paying federal taxes or filing in protest. No joke! They are misusing federal tax money and not supporting American wellness and support.
Russell vought said he wants employers to fear going to work we need to mass protest in front of these people's homes and govt. One protest here and there isn't enough
Supertrump is super cringe!
Stop calling the detention sites call them for what they are! They are concentration camps !!!
Concentration Camps!!!
Alligator Auschwitz!
Exactly
Fat Ass Trump couldn't get off the ground. When this administration is done. I think we need to use the Everglades prison for Pam Bondi and even Republican Congress men and Women. Same with the Senate.
