Homan: "People need to understand ICE officers and Border Patrol don't need probable cause to walk up to somebody, briefly detain them, and question them ... based on their physical appearance."

As a veteran, I found the structures of military rank and discipline to be inimical to human freedom and responsibility. Why take orders from murderers to do unethical things? If you're a veteran, and you want to live in peace rather than war, join sdvfp.org not the losers described in this story.

Do you want some rich bureaucrat to sell your future to some billionaire factory owner? So that fascism can take a third term? Will you sell your children's futures?

"This is the new model where you work in these plants for the rest of your life"

That's the same model as always, asshole!
Lutnick: "It's time to train people not to do the jobs of the past, but to do the great jobs of the future. This is the new model where you work in these kinds of plants for the rest of your life and your kids work here and your grandkids work here. We let the auto plants go overseas."

The rich will always shape legal and political institutions to serve themselves at the expense of the poor and working classes.

Civil justice must come from the grassroots.
Get organized, fight fascism!

Imprisonment and prosecution had always been this government's weapon against the poor, the nonwhite, the gender nonconforming, the queer, or the noncitizen and now an outright fascist executive is using these tools even against bourgeois political opponents - stay safe, stay organized

We absolutely should never speak a word about the decimation of any people. The US is already directing one genocide but Hegseth seems to want for more - how shameful!

If you want to demilitarize foreign and domestic policy then organize with us!

Hegseth: "I don't have time for the hoax press that peddles old stories from disgruntled employees. We should be talking about the decimation of the Houthis ... Instead, disgruntled former employees are peddling things to try to save their ass."

This government will fabricate evidence to frame people as terrorists, deviants, or otherwise undesirable.

The US executive institution has rotted. The president here, refusing to return a person renditioned without cause, refers to his own justifications as "assumed" and "supposed". He talks like Tony Soprano (fictional moron) - careful phrasing to avoid prosecution.
Stand against this sham!

The AG brags about renditioning residents without due process. Fuck that! Let's tear open the prisons, free the people, and end the system of US exploitation that cooks the planet and drives people into desperation crime and slavery.

Abolish the prisons and the militaries!

President Trump announces he'll be requesting a record-breaking $1 trillion Pentagon budget.

"$1 trillion, and nobody's seen anything like it. We have to build our military and we're very cost conscious. But the military is something that we have to build, and we have to be strong"

One of the core principles guiding us, the Veterans for Peace, is complete opposition to the militarization of US foreign policy. Trump's explicit desire to colonize and exploit Gaza is abhorrent and moral people must not stand for it.

Join us, GET ORGANIZED

Trump: "You know how I feel about the Gaza Strip. I think it's an incredible piece of important real estate. And I think it's something that we would be involved in. Having a peace force like the US there controlling and owning the Gaza Strip would be a good thing ... you call it the Freedom Zone."

Here, the US president claims his open intent to rendition residents of this country to foreign prisons. This is a direct attack on the very notion of civil life - if police can scoop people up and send them to parts unknown, then none are safe.

ABOLISH PRISON
ABOLISH POLICE
ABOLISH MILITARY
Trump says he wants to send Americans to gulags in El Salvador: "I love that. If we could take some of our 20 time wiseguys that push people into subways ... if he would take them, I would be honored to give them. I don't know what the law says on that ... I'm all for it."
