Are we now in full blown fascist totalitarianism?

California Gov. Gavin Newsom responded to threats over the weekend by the Trump administration that he could be arrested if he interferes with ICE arrests of undocumented immigrants. “He’s a tough guy, why doesn’t he do that? He knows where to find me,” Newsom said during an interview with MSNBC News on Sunday.

What an insufferable prick Newsom is.
And you are boringly perseverative.
 
I don't like Newsom either, but so what? It's not the issue, but instead the constant Constitutional crises, manufactured and pushed by Trump as we head toward martial law.
 
Better to have jackboots disappearing people irrespective of actual legal status plus a full Lysenko approach to executive agencies than to have libtards in charge.
 
Another step on the road to facism. Politicizing the military. Makes them more likely to follow illegal orders.

From what I've read, they were screened for appearance and loyalty.
 
If we were in full blown fascism, we wouldn't be here posting, so there is still some hope.

Free speech is being threatened but since I'm sitting here watching my favorite liberal pundit on "The Beat', we still have free speech at least most of us do. Just don't criticize Trump if you're an important person or hold a government position and you're within his hearing range.

The Padilla story is in another thread and all over the news. it's disgusting and even a few Republicans have spoken out against it, but not nearly enough.
 
My local sheriff is saying some interesting things about what he wants his deputies to do on Saturday.
 
Amazon has come under enormous illegal pressure.

this is INSANE. I work for a very large cloud services provider. We have a lot of government clients. Another side of our company sells books online (you have 100% heard of them.) Today, my boss got this email that one of our largest gov clients is going to CANCEL their contract if we don't remove these books that are critical of Trump. This is NUTS!! We have NOTHING to do with the book side of the business, and even if we did, this is CENSORSHIP!!! I can't believe this is happening. My boss is pulling his hair out over this. No one knows what to do.

I have 119 different fetishes; one of them is never logging in to X for access to its comments. So when I saw yet another link to X here today, I thought "What's the matter with Bluesky? I even have an 'account' there."

Surely BlueSky is a better venue to read true facts and worthwhile opinions -- WHY hadn't I even clicked there for months?? :confused2:

And as soon as I got to BlueSky I was presented with a link to a David Pakman YouTube, though I needed to search to find (at Reddit) copiable text.

As a BlueSky noobie, I don't know how to link to the BlueSky post. I could copy the URL, but suspect that URL is personalized for me.
