An eleventh person was just killed by immigration agents in our streets under the second Trump administration. This is a developing situation.

At 8 a.m. this morning ICE shot and killed someone in their car in Biddeford, Maine. The victim has been identified as a 26-year-old man from Colombia who, according to the Maine Immigrant Rights Coalition, was authorized to work in the United States. This is the latest senseless killing by Trump's immigration enforcement, following killings in Houston, Minneapolis, and elsewhere.

The White House and Republican majority in congress have injected an unprecedented amount of tax dollars into ICE. With their bloated budget, Stephen Miller and Trump have pivoted ICE and DHS away from the border and into city streets – breaking into homes, smashing car windows, and illegally murdering working people on American soil.

This wouldn’t be revolution. This would be the exact violent reaction the Head Pedophile is looking for to justify ~~postponing~~ cancelling a certain election.

He’s demented and senile at this point and just a Miller sock puppet, but this is pin point precision to set the stage for September and October to really make him Fuhrer.

We need a well organised militia, not a bunch of angry pitchforks who have to go back to work tomorrow. It’s a bit late in the game though. A long stretch possibility would be governors declaring independence from the federal government and mobilising their national guard or something similar. But at this point, he’ll be publicly crowned god emperor with the democrat party outlawed by the end of the year.

So just lie down and accept that the world has gone to shit, or put up a fight before the world goes to shit anyway?

I think there’s a zone in between.

The world irrefutably has gone to shit, with Climate Change, autocratic regimes, AI parasitising itself into retirement funds, and incomprehensibly wealthy sociopaths.

I am still advocating for justice, helping people to aid whistleblowers to safely come forward, and advocating for justice. All while being very mindful that history teaches us this most likely ends in Washington DC looking like in those video games.

Remember we’re not here to change the world, but for the world to change us.
