By DY_nasty Go To PostIs it facism if the states invite them?
Yes. Unmarked vans. No Miranda rights. Nobody knows the charges and wolf admits the arrests are often preemptive. Nobody knows how many or who’s been arrested.
... This is fascist shit
By Fenderputty Go To PostYes.He's not forcing powers if the state literally ask for the help lol
then said states turn around act like they can't believe these things are happening (on camera)

See my edit. Hiding behind “the states are inviting fascists to do fascist stuff” is a bad argument for why this fascist stuff isn’t fascist

yal really subscribing to this twitterverse reality. if there was anything close to the general narrative going on, then you'd have the most open and shut case for an impeachment in US history. the legal hurdles here are more of an amending to the limits/restrictions in place (or lack thereof because states love that "we had no idea :O" shit now more than ever) and the overall guidelines than anything else. also, why on earth would anyone think that the feds just now showed up in portland after the years of shit going on in the NW?
really? it was chill out there until march? stop it. oregon been happy to see the feds. why? because the feds can do shit state/city cops can't.
feds don't have to walk through the tv episode proceedings that people are used to. and shit, most of those steps went out the window years ago too.
By Pac-12 Go To PostCitation needed on being invited.are yal serious
And the last round of impeachment went really well.
there were literally seated gov officials on some sedition shit out there lol
and in true dem fashion "we tried, sorta" doesn't amount to much. especially when you're trying to pin a president for doing what they allowed the president to do.
Firstly it is fascist as fuck. This isn’t Antifa twitter. Plenty of places talking about the legality of this and the tactics used, but go off on thinking the below
Cause this is an amazing statement after the last 3.5 years.

https://wgntv.com/news/chicago-news/mayor-lightfoot-pushes-back-against-trumps-plan-to-send-federal-agents-to-chicago/
uh huh
The mayor’s response was somewhat of a forced agreement, as long as it’s not a situation like Portland.
ah. perfect
Instead, Lightfoot said the federal agents will work alongside Chicago Police Department officers which is not unprecedented, and unlike in Portland, the U.S. attorney for the northern district of Illinois, John Lausch, will help.
CPD Superintendent David Brown says he welcomes the extra manpower but president of Chicago’s Fraternal Order of Police John Catanzara wasn’t so diplomatic.
classic dems amirite
Bunch of rights for us been dead letters since the Patriot Act and it's harder to impeach when the executive has been granted powers by the legislative specifically to label anyone a terrorist, detain them indefinitely and not bring them up on charges. Dy and I have been talking about this in here for years now.
By Fenderputty Go To PostFirstly it is fascist as fuck. This isn’t Antifa twitter. Plenty of places talking about the legality of this and the tactics used, but go off on thinking the belowthe past 3.5 years democrats can't even remember which fires they set. yal had this whole back and forth about sanctuary cities and can't even remember the talking points regarding how the federal presence got there or shared information in the first place...
Cause this is an amazing statement after the last 3.5 years.
If you've got US citizens being tracked and searched without process, then who started that shit? also, which congress was a-ok with giving the president powers to label people terrorists on the spot? further, how convenient would those abilities be for states without the resources or image concerns? don't go calling shit fascist now just because trump don't give a fuck lol
and no one gives a shit about ukraine. if you have feds actually pushing up on states without their signing off or some sort of compromise in their favor, then you would see the most lightning fast move on the whitehouse ever. you gotta be dodging logic to think otherwise.
Lightfoot will be a part of the future fascist shit going in her city. I got no issue lumping state people up in this
Also: “we’ve legislatively enabled these fascists things” is not an argument for why fascist things aren’t fascist
Curious if the “abolish DHS narrative” gains steam

(and we also choose to believe that we enabled those powers and did nothing with them loooooooooool ok)
There's still people in Gitmo awaiting charges and trial, but Americans probably assumed they did something to earn that indefinite detention. Chickens coming home to roost so hard right now.

I may not beat the patriot act war drum as loudly as you, but that’s a ways away from being okay with it all
Feel like calling it fascism is a bit too buzzwordy tbh. There’s different types of authoritarianism than simply fascism.
By DY_nasty Go To Postsame as usual
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2015/oct/19/homan-square-chicago-police-disappeared-thousands
Nearly 65% of documented Homan Square arrests since August 2004 took place in the five years since Rahm Emanuel, formerly Barack Obama’s top aide, became mayor.Dem shit in a nutshell.

You bet they did. Haven't followed much of the reasoning for that and the coverage but this SF thing is nuts. Shit is really popping off.

Yes. It’s assumed they’ll start shitting ours down

As of now, the Army’s Twitch channel hasn’t streamed in almost two weeks. During that time, numerous people, streamers, and organizations have criticized the Army’s efforts. This includes legal organizations like the ACLU and, today, the Knight First Amendment Institute at Columbia University, which demanded in a press release received by Kotaku that the Army and Navy stop banning viewers who ask about war crimes.https://kotaku.com/amid-backlash-u-s-army-retreats-from-twitch-1844471907
“Once the government opens up a space for expressive activity to the public at large, the First Amendment prohibits it from excluding speakers from that space on the basis of viewpoint,” said Katie Fallow, senior staff attorney at the Knight First Amendment Institute, in the press release. “The Army and Navy can’t constitutionally delete comments or ban people from these Twitch channels simply for asking questions about issues they would rather not address.”

Have y'all never seen an Army TV commercial? Not even Amazon would dare glamorize their jobs that much .

yal just go to social media and check what to be mad about then go all in without even questioning if its even the most fucked up thing going on regarding the topic lmao
AOC got the worst crime since the 90s going on up in NYC. She got better shit to do than worry about the Army - and the Army got better shit to do like making sure their soldiers' families stay fed/cared for since people are still stuck overseas or between bases since all this shit started.
By Lunatic Go To PostGood. What the CCP is doing to the Uighurs is fucking horrific.
Yeah that's why they're doing it lmfao

Cops like "totally not about drugs."
