I can't believe I'm living though my country's Nazi era. History will not be kind to us. I hate all of this. My sister voted for this and I'll never forgive her.

Why TF has this topic been around for hours and has no one posted this? Why is the drama again made more important than the substance? Don’t let the hysteria win.

Oh cool, a president threatening to prosecute the press for reporting on something factually correct. Cool cool cool.
How does this make any sense?
Shouldn't they be suing Apple to take it down if they don't like it? I know they just want to weaken press, but it feels like an especially weak excuse.
Eh. Trump is publicly weighing the idea of deporting Musk. He'll turn on anyone, no matter the previous displays of loyalty.
This does seem aimed at CNN, in particular, imho.
Didn't Elon turn on Trump by criticizing his budget?
I'm not sure what started it exactly, but yes, those two had a big public falling out. During which, Elon criticized the budget bill.

Probably because someone in his ear suggested it

The Trump team can lick ballsacks
How America got to where it's at now needs to be studied
It's already been studied. It's 1930s Germany all over again. We know how it started, we know where it's going, and we know how it'll end.
Then how was it allowed to happen again?
Germany learned how to genocide from America. The USA is still structurally the same as it was during its first genocide and during Japanese-American concentration camps.
Because people got greedy and felt they could depend on everyone else to keep the safeguards in place, while eroding them for their own unjust gain.

But at least they owned the libs….
Soon CNN won't be able to report anything that makes Trump look bad
Trump is going full Saddam Hussein much quicker than I would've thought. If anyone is curious, please look up what he did as he came to power.
That's like saying they'll be charged with murder, for reporting on murder. These fucking halfwits are just so unbelievably stupid.
Stupid? They’re achieving exactly what they set out to achieve. The fact that they’re doing it while saying illogical things doesn’t change that.
Daily reminder to all ICE agents. By signing up for ICE, you have signed yourself up for a lifetime of fear and criminal liability. There are Nazi concentration camp guards that were tried for their crimes in their 90s. There is no statute of limitations on crimes against humanity. Your names are recorded; your deeds are known. And you will face justice for your crimes. And do not count on a blanket pardon saving you. Crimes against humanity are violations of international law that cannot be pardoned.
Those ICE agent would be very upset if they knew how to read
So many ice agents here on Lemmy
Point them out
It's hard to identify them because they wear masks when they're on here
Yes, obviously, but these type of comments are self-defeating and unhelpful. It's more about trying to encourage the circulation of the idea that ICE needs to face criminal accountability. There should be a paragraph on ICE's potential criminal liability in every article about them. People should mention their susceptibility to prosecution on every discussion about them. We should be including the topic of prosecutions in every casual conversation about ICE.
The right wing learned a long time ago that the public narrative matters. If there's an idea worth spreading, then spread it. We need to get the idea of accountability in the public consciousness whenever possible. Otherwise, it's the default instinct of every Democratic politician to try to be magnanimous when they're elected. Liberals are by their nature non-confrontational; they're happy to have people walk all over them. Obama and Biden both refused to prosecute the previous administration and tried to be grand peace makers, and look how that turned out. It will take a lot of public pressure if there's ever going to be any accountability. That's why we need to be circulating these ideas in the Zeitgeist. Yes, obviously this is just lemmy, but there's no need to be such an unhelpful cynic.

They should also remember that murder peaked immediately post WWII in Europe as people got even with their Nazi tormenters.
They will complain that women won't want to date them, but they also get to live in fear that the women who will date them are secretly planning to [redacted] them like O-Ren Ishii.

Noem told reporters alongside Trump on July 1 as they toured a new detention center in the Florida Everglades known as ~~"Alligator Alcatraz."~~ "Alligator Auschwitz."
That's the correct name.
Do we know yet that it's an extermination camp? Because it's not like it's the first modern concentration camp in the US. We've just been calling them detention centers.
I saw a good Dachau-pun name for it, but it might have been so morbid I blocked it out, because I can't remember what it was
Auschwitz started as "just a concentration camp" too.
Eventually countries will stop accepting our deportees and then what will they do? The answer is simple:
They'll come up with a final solution.
Right, but why is this concentration camp deserving of comparison to Auschwitz? We already have several.
Because alligator alliterates with Auschwitz.

This needs to stick.
It's got like 24 hrs left.
freedom
So, are the democrats and the American people, and all our public institutions, and private industry just going to sit around and let these fascist losers ruin everything, forever? Is that the plan? It really looks like that’s the plan right now.
It makes more sense when you fully understand what people mean when they say both sides.
People who want to argue that point take it to mean "both sides are the same". What it really means is both sides are complicit. It's good cop bad cop. The good cop has to keep up appearances, to sell the illusion of choice and safety. While the bad cop takes all the heat.
And if you want evidence, just look at how things have gone in the last 40 years. Republicans take 3 steps right, democrats take 1 step left. Well, do the math. That's a net result of 2 steps to the right without recoarse. Now repeat for 40 years, and you have a situation where it's literally gotten to nazi america tactics.
The old barometer for how far they've gone is when they undid roe v wade. Now, thats so far in the rear view, that we're at a point where unidentified government agents are kidnapping people on the street, without even confirming they have reason to arrest them, and at times killing them in the process.
Let me repeat that. We're at a point where government officials are now grabbing people off the street and killing them, without so much as a confirmation of their identity.
But don't worry, the democrats are going to wave their fingers in a "no no no" motion, real hard. We'll all be fiiiiiiine! Well, unless of coarse you're brown enough, or just mistaken for an opposing opinion.
Yeah. Both sides.
There is still gay marriage in this country, and abortion was legal for 30 years. Very, very recently we have taken several steps to the right. Things have become much more open socially.

No one is broadcasting the revolution. Throw sugar in ICE gas tanks, cut the power to Heritage Foundation offices, and shut the fuck up about it.
