Meant what I said. Just blocked a couple who couldn't help themselves. If you have been around our community long enough you know I don't lie. I'll say it again. I will be blocking people.

Before the election Tom Homan-Trump’s choice for Border Czar Said claims that the administration would start mass sweeps of cities was “ridiculous” Now-as Trump readies the military to conduct mass deportations Homan promises “shock and awe” Project 2025 doesn’t seem so far-fetched now, does it

1/ Hey, Bluesky community! Thanks for taking an interest in what we do at @ProPublica.org. I’ve spent this year reporting on the people and policies to expect in Trump 2.0 — from Project 2025 and attacks on civil servants to MAGA's plan to “eradicate” all mentions of climate change. A quick 🧵...

Despite foreign influence, billionaires pulling out all stops and losing a candidate 3 months before the election this election was razor close. No there is no mandate for these radicals. That will not stop them, but we can make them PAY FOR IT!

It's not a difference of political opinions if the opposing side's opinion is that you aren't human or shouldn't exist. That's not how anything works.

They hope that by targeting one group, the rest of us will cower. Such an environment gives an open invitation to fascism. It leads to discrimination, then segregation, then internment, and still worse. A compassionate, good people would not permit this to happen. We will not be divided against /6

It was a 49% to 48% election. Fascism won by a hair. And it took Russian and MAGA bomb threats, a hoax regarding battleground-state police raids, an illegal Musk-funded lottery, $600M given to Trump by just 15 people, Netanyahu meddling in our politics, and Democrats staying home for it to happen.

Joe is a perfect example of how to apologize and act after you made a (huge) mistake. I disliked him back in the tea party days. I know we have some different policy views but he's respectful of different views now. He also knows how to prioritize the real issue facing America and that is Trumpism.

Indeed. When they rounded up the Japanese Americans, myself and my family included, for internment during WWII out of fear over Japanese spies and saboteurs, two thirds of us were U.S. citizens. Don’t think it won’t happen again when they come for the “undocumented.”
Post from Latino pollster Mike Madrid:

“Doing some research for an upcoming article on the last “mass deportation” of Mexicans during the 1930’s.

Over half of those deported were US citizens.”
