Furries against fascism. Protesting the ICE gestapo in the most Portland way possible

This is what Stage 4 fascism looks like, per Paxton’s Five Stages of Fascism:
Labeling dissent as terrorism. Deploying troops & ICE Gestapo in U.S. cities. Banning trans passports. Capturing courts, purging agencies, criminalizing protest.

I mean saying “Charlie personified America” is kind of hitting he nail on the head and saying the quiet part out loud

Stephen Miller certainly qualifies as a freak of the highest magnitude

As a nation we are massively underreacting to Trump deploying the military and ICE to terrorize citizens in opposition states. We also must consider the possibility that the government shutdown in and of itself may have been the point.

Agreed but [ check notes ] remember when you used the espionage act more than any other president in history to persecute whistleblowers like @johnkiriakou.bsky.social ? Pepperidge Farms remembers

@jimmykimmel.com I think that @mehdirhasan.bsky.social is right. You should have stuck to the classics like Brian Kilmeade on Fox News

The truth hurts

Jay Ponti @jayponti.bsky.social · 26d

HR 5300, the Department of State Policy Provisions Act, could give Marco Rubio the power to revoke U.S. passports of people who are critical of Israel. It was sponsored by Rep. Brian Mast (R-FL 21), who volunteered with the IDF and publicly wore his IDF uniform.

@maddow.msnbc.com as I’ve been saying this is exactly the pretext that the fascist right has been looking for to justify expand mass surveillance and draconian police state measures.

Jay Ponti @jayponti.bsky.social · 27d

@maddow.msnbc.com if it was children who were murdered in a mass shooting Charlie Kirk himself would already be telling people to move on because [something about the Second Amendment]

Jay Ponti @jayponti.bsky.social · 28d

NFL blackballed Kaepernick for protesting white supremacy & George Floyd’s murder, then spotlighted Kirk, who says white supremacy doesn’t exist & Floyd just OD’d. Peak hypocrisy.
