Sounds like the normalization of extra judicial killings has begun. Less outrage and a “meh” when it’s a tractor trailer full of migrants or a bus full of No Kings protestors on their way to DC to encircle the White House, eh?

Donald Trump is arming his masked immigration agents with increasingly lethal weapons.
President Donald Trump is reportedly spending millions more on weapons for his masked militia descending on American cities—who will now have access to “guided missile warheads.”
Independent journalist Judd Legum reported Monday that between Trump’s inauguration and October 18, Immigration and Customs Enforcement has increased weapons spending by 700 percent compared to the same period last year. In the last nine months, ICE has spent a whopping $71,515,762 on purchases of “small arms, ordnance and ordnance accessories manufacturing.”
“Small arms” include armor, explosives, chemical weapons, pistols, and rifles. “Ordnance and ordnance accessories manufacturing” refers to other materials, such as artillery, barrels, extractors, and mounts.
For comparison, in 2019, ICE spent just $5.7 million on the “small arms” category through October 18, and during Trump’s first administration, the government spent an average of $8.4 million per year.
While most of the spending was on guns and armor, Legum reported that ICE had also purchased “guided missile warheads and explosive components.” So while Trump has backed off selling Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine, it seems he’s more than happy to arm his immigration authorities with lethal projectiles. It’s not immediately clear what part of a good-faith deportation operation would involve localized destruction and murder—but that’s because no such thing exists.
Clearly, Trump has plans to ramp up his federal immigration crackdown, which has gone hand-in-hand with his federal takeover of American cities. In Chicago, federal agents have conducted violent arrests of U.S. citizens and journalists, fired a pepper ball at a faith leader, unleashed tear gas on police, and shot two people, killing a father of two.
While bolstering his private army, Trump is planning to eliminate funding for SNAP benefits—starting four days ago.

As we’ve been warned these comments are visible to the general internet, perhaps a tad of caution editorializing like that on a terrible investment by the govt. Unless you truly believe this is funny and not serious.

See, everyone? This is how normalization begins. Reference to a hypothetical No Kings rally around the White House is a “threat.” Rather than the extrajudicial killings and militarized police actions against US citizens that are occurring in reality. We’re so fucked.

Who is this “new master” that I brought around?The fucking guy ran in a primary and won and has over 50,000 volunteers helping him to get elected. They must all be Hamas? You still don’t understand how housing and taxes work in NYC, eh? And you’re really afraid of Muslims too, eh?Let me explain it to you, read carefully and try to understand what I’m explaining to you. Comprehension, it’s a thing.
A government does not increase its expenditure for lethal weapons by 700% for one sector of the national security apparatus unless it intends to use them. My “theory” that the current CCOOTWH government with Pigseth, Bondage, Gnome and Herr Miller at their respective helms, coupled with the rhetoric from Herr CCOOTWH, that it is not outside the realm of possibilities that those weapons will be used by ICE against ‘Murikkkan citizens or on US soil, should those citizens or “others” pose a “threat” to said regime. Particularly protesting sham election results or suspended elections. What you’re, general you, seeing now with the ICE raids, NG and military deployed to cities, and extra judicial murder of boaters is the normalization of such behaviour, and thus far, a “meh” from folks dressed up in frog and dinosaur costumes or holding “they’d rather be at brunch” signs. Imagine if shit gets real, real like 1/6 to the tenth power real.
You can ignore it, dismiss it, think I think it’s a joke or it’s funny but it’s happening here and we were told that it couldn’t. Because they “can” and “do”. Enjoy your authoritarianism.

If that's where you are (and I totally get that), maybe you should consider unplugging. I know it's important to know what's going on and to be engaged, but your mental health is more important. Think about getting off all social media, not watching the news, and focusing on yourself for a while. Whatever you choose to do, good luck!Post edited by PJ_Soul onWith all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be careful. Strive to be happy. ~ Desiderata0 -

I'm functioning because I need to keep working or I'll be in my car... but can barely stand another day of his LIES and destructionI get it, gtb, Anyone with a heart and at least half a brain has to be feeling some despair, and many of us a lot of despair, anxiety, and/or depression.I've had to cut way back on my current events/ politics reading, including how much time I spend in this segment of these forums.My wife has an amazing ability to "compartmentalize". She can read about the shit-storm, care very greatly about it, do what little she (like any of us) can do, and then go about living her life. I can't do that. I tend a lot to have obsessive thinking (aka, be in "the spin-cycle"). The only way I keep from being overwhelmed is to limit my reading about this shit. Sometimes, I'll ask my wife how bad the news from Heather Cox Richardson or Dan Rather, etc. is (saints though they be) to determine if I want to go there. I keep busy with my used book and record business, listen to music, play games that require my full attention (Word Trip, computer Hearts, Wordle, anything that requires focus), or organize shit (I'm an organizing freak). Sometimes I write to like-minded people just to feel a little better knowing I am not alone in my thinking.The other thing is- and I think this is important- is to remember that the #1 strategy of fascism and authoritarianism is to do everything they can think of to wear people down. We need to do whatever we can to not give that to that. Remember: all fascist regimes are eventually doomed to fail.

From efforts to lay off almost 500 more employees to messaging from Secretary Linda McMahon herself, the Department of Education, which President Trump has long sought to shutter, is seeking ways to make changes during the shutdown more permanent, alarming its defenders. https://trib.al/YiAPxs3_____________________________________SIGNATURE________________________________________________

The US Department of Agriculture says it will not tap into its $6 billion contingency fund to cover food stamp benefits next month, according to an agency memo obtained by CNN.
That means that roughly 42 million Americans will not receive critical food assistance from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, in November, unless the agency shifts its position.

if the Rs did cheat in 2024, and this is authoritarian, it was hugely important for democrats to figure out what and how so they are ready for 2026. But they are more interested in their nonsense including identity politics.
the Rs are in the middle of a 25 or so year journey figuring out how to dominate politics. They did this by town by town communication, winning on the state level in a dominating fashion, and also have a stranglehold on the senate for twenty more years hence likely no chance at flipping the Supreme Court for decades.
and the best Dems got? We see it here, and places like r/politics…over and over that potus it’s evil, paying reparations for evils 200 years ago, have congress play prosecutor on a pedo while Dems failed to do that when they just controlled DOJ for years…and their ideas to fix economic issues are govt takeover of industries. These have failed dems over and over, yet it’s all they got.

Get ready for a lot more “we were being threatened and had to act to protect our courageous law enforcement officers.”ICE Spent 700% More on Weapons. What They Bought Will Terrify You.
Donald Trump is arming his masked immigration agents with increasingly lethal weapons.
President Donald Trump is reportedly spending millions more on weapons for his masked militia descending on American cities—who will now have access to “guided missile warheads.”
Independent journalist Judd Legum reported Monday that between Trump’s inauguration and October 18, Immigration and Customs Enforcement has increased weapons spending by 700 percent compared to the same period last year. In the last nine months, ICE has spent a whopping $71,515,762 on purchases of “small arms, ordnance and ordnance accessories manufacturing.”
“Small arms” include armor, explosives, chemical weapons, pistols, and rifles. “Ordnance and ordnance accessories manufacturing” refers to other materials, such as artillery, barrels, extractors, and mounts.
For comparison, in 2019, ICE spent just $5.7 million on the “small arms” category through October 18, and during Trump’s first administration, the government spent an average of $8.4 million per year.
While most of the spending was on guns and armor, Legum reported that ICE had also purchased “guided missile warheads and explosive components.” So while Trump has backed off selling Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine, it seems he’s more than happy to arm his immigration authorities with lethal projectiles. It’s not immediately clear what part of a good-faith deportation operation would involve localized destruction and murder—but that’s because no such thing exists.
Clearly, Trump has plans to ramp up his federal immigration crackdown, which has gone hand-in-hand with his federal takeover of American cities. In Chicago, federal agents have conducted violent arrests of U.S. citizens and journalists, fired a pepper ball at a faith leader, unleashed tear gas on police, and shot two people, killing a father of two.
While bolstering his private army, Trump is planning to eliminate funding for SNAP benefits—starting four days ago.

For comparison, in 2019, ICE spent just $5.7 million on the “small arms” category through October 18, and during Trump’s first administration, the government spent an average of $8.4 million per year.
While most of the spending was on guns and armor, Legum reported that ICE had also purchased “guided missile warheads and explosive components.” So while Trump has backed off selling Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine, it seems he’s more than happy to arm his immigration authorities with lethal projectiles. It’s not immediately clear what part of a good-faith deportation operation would involve localized destruction and murder—but that’s because no such thing exists.
Clearly, Trump has plans to ramp up his federal immigration crackdown, which has gone hand-in-hand with his federal takeover of American cities. In Chicago, federal agents have conducted violent arrests of U.S. citizens and journalists, fired a pepper ball at a faith leader, unleashed tear gas on police, and shot two people, killing a father of two.
While bolstering his private army, Trump is planning to eliminate funding for SNAP benefits—starting four days ago.

As we’ve been warned these comments are visible to the general internet, perhaps a tad of caution editorializing like that on a terrible investment by the govt. Unless you truly believe this is funny and not serious.

AI has ruined your reading comprehension. Where did I “threaten the White House”? AI has also ruined your ability to put comments in context and like your economic theories about the housing market, are making shit up. Try again.
See, everyone? This is how normalization begins. Reference to a hypothetical No Kings rally around the White House is a “threat.” Rather than the extrajudicial killings and militarized police actions against US citizens that are occurring in reality. We’re so fucked.
What a faux dem.

A government does not increase its expenditure for lethal weapons by 700% for one sector of the national security apparatus unless it intends to use them. My “theory” that the current CCOOTWH government with Pigseth, Bondage, Gnome and Herr Miller at their respective helms, coupled with the rhetoric from Herr CCOOTWH, that it is not outside the realm of possibilities that those weapons will be used by ICE against ‘Murikkkan citizens or on US soil, should those citizens or “others” pose a “threat” to said regime. Particularly protesting sham election results or suspended elections. What you’re, general you, seeing now with the ICE raids, NG and military deployed to cities, and extra judicial murder of boaters is the normalization of such behaviour, and thus far, a “meh” from folks dressed up in frog and dinosaur costumes or holding “they’d rather be at brunch” signs. Imagine if shit gets real, real like 1/6 to the tenth power real.
You can ignore it, dismiss it, think I think it’s a joke or it’s funny but it’s happening here and we were told that it couldn’t. Because they “can” and “do”. Enjoy your authoritarianism.

I’ll pick a “scheme” when you stop representing yourself as a dem. Nothing could be further from the truth.A change of a couple percentage points in the interest rate can easily change the total cost of a home by hundreds of thousands of dollars, making it the most impactful financial factor. $3 or 4k per year, when combined with existing tax and employment benefits can easily provide enough for a home and millions in retirement assets.

Sounds like the normalization of extra judicial killings has begun. Less outrage and a “meh” when it’s a tractor trailer full of migrants or a bus full of No Kings protestors on their way to DC to encircle the White House, eh? Get ready for a lot more “we were being threatened and had to act to protect our courageous law enforcement officers.”ICE Spent 700% More on Weapons. What They Bought Will Terrify You.
Donald Trump is arming his masked immigration agents with increasingly lethal weapons.
President Donald Trump is reportedly spending millions more on weapons for his masked militia descending on American cities—who will now have access to “guided missile warheads.”
Independent journalist Judd Legum reported Monday that between Trump’s inauguration and October 18, Immigration and Customs Enforcement has increased weapons spending by 700 percent compared to the same period last year. In the last nine months, ICE has spent a whopping $71,515,762 on purchases of “small arms, ordnance and ordnance accessories manufacturing.”
“Small arms” include armor, explosives, chemical weapons, pistols, and rifles. “Ordnance and ordnance accessories manufacturing” refers to other materials, such as artillery, barrels, extractors, and mounts.
For comparison, in 2019, ICE spent just $5.7 million on the “small arms” category through October 18, and during Trump’s first administration, the government spent an average of $8.4 million per year.
While most of the spending was on guns and armor, Legum reported that ICE had also purchased “guided missile warheads and explosive components.” So while Trump has backed off selling Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine, it seems he’s more than happy to arm his immigration authorities with lethal projectiles.
