by both naturally fascist conservatives and many others mislead into believing they elected a basically good man.

Fascist governments always seek to keep their base energized by persecuting selected groups, though, and this administration is moving ahead with large-scale "deportations" of immigrants.

Unfortunately, this can only go bad. It will not be handled adequately, much less well, and many tragedies and atrocities are inevitable. Already, some of those who escaped the unspeakable where they came from, and believe they will be sent back, have left homes and jobs and pulled their children from schools to hide in bushes--from our government in our country.

So, where are we as they come for the immigrants?

And where are we as fascistic state and local governments make plans to suppress and persecute anyone who gets in their way, such as the thousands of little Indivisible groups?


Thanks for posting this link to the ACLU's resistance organizing, yortsed snacilbuper.

When Indivisible and other activists are arrested on felony charges for picketing their representatives' offices, the ACLU will be acting.
