What is happening in our government is outrageous. ICE has been very brutal in accosting people - what do they expect - for us to just lie down and let them stomp over us 😡
Actually, yes, yes they do. They expect us to lie down & keep quiet. Let's not do that!😁 Let's jump up & down! Let's dance to the music of nature! Let's go hug a tree! And then we can sit down & plan. 😈 jk y'all😂. But seriously, in all this madness, find 5 minutes to get just sit under the sun. Yr brain & body will thank you!😁💜
When you ‘rule’ with cruelty, you are giving potential tools to others who respond to match the damage. The number of people who are whisked away, hidden without trial or council should be alarming to all. I see people who think we look strong and smart, but the more damage we do (using excuses of self protection) the weaker we declare ourselves to be. We are destroying the house we stand upon.
This is the dilemma—people want to fight back against this dictatorship (as they should) yet President Krasnov will undoubtedly use that as his excuse to declare martial law. If I were still living in the States I would definitely be out there protesting, regardless of the consequences because if they wanna throw a 62-year-old grandmother in jail, I'll make sure I'm loud enough that everyone will know it. Fifteen years ago, I moved from what I considered to be the greatest country in the world and now I watch it circling the drain. It sickens me. Every day I wake up hoping to see a certain obituary in the news before things get even more out of hand than they already are.
"But we also won’t pretend this came out of nowhere."
I am not going to throw Molotov Cocktails at Teslas, but like CTTE says, this isn't coming from nowhere. The problem I have with it is that violence lowers us to their level. Worse than that, it allows them to "play the victim."
Then again the violence gets their attention. It poses a moral dilemma.
I know we must all 'condemn' violence. Yet, this Country was founded on the 'Boston Tea Party' and interestingly, the whole taxes issue brought it to the forefront. Tariffs are essentially taxation without representation to American citizens. Our elected Congress the ONLY Constitutional power to collect and levy are not voting on nor participating in any manner in these taxes upon the American citizens. Simply because they are using EO does not make anything the Law of the Land. They are temporary with this administration which is why making enemies of our allies, failing to follow through on our leadership role and with NATO as well as the tariffs against everyone will make rebuilding America even tougher for generations in terms of trust. It's time to toss the tea!

Injustice can only go on so long before people begin to fight back.

Does the “government” realize how desperate the people are becoming?
Yes that’s their intention

We need names. Where’s Ben Ray?
