I cannot convey to you how much I enjoy and learn from your writings. The in depth and careful, brilliant analysis is so refreshing. You have gotten me to really think and linger over an idea for awhile.

Now getting the media and Dems to start using strategy is a whole other matter.

Can we please stop using the word "Deport" to describe what this regime is doing?

Deportation is a lawful process.

What Trump is doing is kidnapping and exiling people, some of whom should be deported and would be if that process were being followed.

ICE is no longer lawful law enforcement but a gang of lawless organized crime enforcers.

Can’t Steven Miller be brought up on charges for paying for illegal kidnappings?

That is a burning question for me. I would like to see AGs in states like CA and AZ bring criminal charges against Trump and officials in the Trump regime. It's unprecedented but is it against the law? I think states should challenge SCOTUS on whether presidential immunity includes violating the Constitution.

Where are the anti-authoritarian billionaires who could fund such messaging?! I discuss these strategies in my little groups. Right! They say. But we need VISUALS. Smart social media and new media campaigns for those who agree to share and support. And see what we can get to go viral. “Regime “ and “abductions” are finally more broadly used. We the people need help on these other critical messages to help those silent to say “NO” out loud.

⛔️ NEVER vote for a Republican again.

From dog catcher to president — no office is too small to matter.

✅ Get every eligible voter to the polls.

🗳️ Vote in EVERY election — local, state, national.

There is no such thing as an “irrelevant” race.

📉 Make the margins so wide that “he won / she won” drama becomes meaningless.

🚫 NEVER VOTE REPUBLICAN AGAIN.

      📣 RESTACK and SHARE OFTEN.

This is a brilliant analysis! Every member of Congress, Republican and Democrat alike, should be reading this and using it as a countermeasure for The Regime’s newspeak. Thank you for this work!

Tom Homan needs to be charged, tried and convicted of criminal acts against the people of the United States and incarcerated for a long fucking time…just sayin'…

Vote them all out at midterms. Trumps Crime Family Spree is gutting America. Russ Vought is Don’s Boss. Look him up and expose Russ Vought, the cretin hiding behind the curtain, running the show.

I wish I were quick enough to use some of your arguments. I feel more prepared reading them, and will try to invoke them as needed! Thank you

Homan and really the entire cabinet are devoid of basic humanity which is precisely why Trump selected him. The piont of these raids and assaults is to indoctrinate average Americans into accepting this as the norm of American society. Once it is accepted as more common place it will seems entirely acceptable, it will seem fine for ICE to be deployed against Americans.

This is a way of establishing submission and compliance with any future brutality. It is not enough to just scare people, you have to get their cooperation.

The next phase will be open subcontracting and privatization of the squads. It is not an accident that the private prisons are in places where former juntas ruled. The US trained almost all of the military entities that later committed open genocide in Central America in the 80's. Indeed Trump does not want to get rid of gang culture he wants wants to harness it to carry out his vision.

I can easily see Homan having no issues violating human rights as he see fits. I also can see Homan as a butcher for the Gestapo.
