I would argue also be wary of anyone who sings the "both sides" chorus, especially when it comes to political parties. It's just a not-so-subtle way to legitimize the fascists and make it seem as if fascism is inevitable and therefore somehow acceptable.
Those of us who have family members who went from middle class German citizens to Germans who were murdered in actual Auschwitz believe every word of what you wrote. It is not hysteria or exaggeration or paranoia.
There is something everyone can do today. The city council of Eureka CA will entertain the cancellation of a contract with immigrant transport carrier Avelo Airlines this week. Anyone who wishes to may encourage the council to do the right thing.
My late uncle fought in WW2 and was captured by the Germans. He was a prisoner of war. My uncle was of German descent. Being an American of German descent in a Nazi Prison was no joke, I assure you.
one small issue: you forgot trans people in your "list of groups the gop will target". they've also been incredibly openly genocidal towards us, although the methods have been different.
Thanks so much for this. I knew it deep down, but nobody listens to my ranting. I'm certainly saving the post to remind me where this is all headed (not that I need it, but I want to PROVE people knew in advance). Then, I"m taking ALL your advice.
People have already told me "you're being dramatic," & "it's not happening here, relax ('here' in my very blue state)." I even get "you're making yourself sick by following it. Just stop." No. I completely agree with you -- no matter how painful (& some days it's horrific), I will not turn away.
You bet I'm documenting. NO ONE in this country can say, "I didn't know." "I had no idea they went this far." &, as another commenter said, "they're both the same." I used to say that the hate they're spewing was being documented on the off-chance it would give them pause. Nope, it makes 'em double down. So I simply screenshot & move on.
I know, (& I suspect deep down they do too) that this will end, that there will be a reckoning. I'm doing my best to see no one slips through the cracks.
Perfectly, accurately stated. The jokes and memes and merchandise about a US concentration death camp are meant to get us used to murdering fellow US residents. Immigrants this morning, critics of felonpotus tonight. Yes, document everything, for the future trials of these hideous horrors masquerading as humans.
make sure you include Blacks(not people of color).
Number 1 target of hate crimes, not Muslims, Latino, Asian ... next Jewish people. Should be none, but Blacks always seem to be left off of the lists, specifically.
You can always tell who’s prepping the gas chambers by how loud they laugh at genocide “jokes.”
Thank you, Ogre, for refusing to flinch. This post reads like a gospel of sacred disruption—equal parts alarm bell and war drum. You’ve named what others are still calling “politics.” But this isn’t politics. It’s premeditation.
And yes, it always starts with a joke. And ends with silence, unless enough of us decide to be rude enough, loud enough, dangerous enough to their delusions.
Document everything. Disrupt everything. And never, ever stop calling it what it is.
History isn’t watching. We are history. And we’ve got work to do.
This is the same Republican Party that lied us into Iraq, lying us into a civil war against American cities, and the legacy media is doing an even worse job of covering it.
They started by saying they were rounding up the worst of the worst in Iraq, too.
Remember?
Maybe the joke should be Alligator Abu Ghraib.
The Republicans are rolling the same vehicles through LA right now, that they rolled through Nisour Square, and the corporate media is more focused on some stupid pro-wrestling style fight promotion between Trump and Musk, than the fact that Trump is openly talking about a establishing his police state in our biggest cities.
The death camp in Florida, (and yes, it’s meant to be so, or else why the alligators) will be the new gladiator type sport for the MAGA party. That’s not a joke either. I can hear the betting pools being set up, can’t you?
I strongly dislike the way substack has changed their thumbnails at the top. I can’t tell what the articles are since they don’t show the title there. My nuero spicy brain doesn’t like the lack of detail. It just seems like a disorganized mess.
People just get dumber and dumber! Ignore look away, it’s bad for your mental health! So is being slowly tortured to death by Traitors! These fanatics are documenting themselves with selfies and splashing their faces and lies all over the legacy media and online, all around the world! You could document everything 100 times over, but unfortunately they can only die once! The American people should make sure that once is more than enough! Document their downfall and executions for future generations too learn something from this time period in history of the Disunited States of America! Maybe future generations will learn something maybe they will ignore it again- wash, rinse and repeat! So they can say - I didn’t know and just obeying orders once again at a future time in this country’s history! If the country survives its own self destruction or breaks up into different factions and falls back into ancient tribalism! So goes the human condition! 📚📚📚📚📚📚

I agree; thanks for noting this. Both-side-ism is a free gift to the fascists.
They have been showing up around here en masse lately.
"Both sides" is definitely a big reason we're here.
Agreed. 💯

I immediately thought Alligator Auschwitz when I first saw the "camp".
G-d help us all
“Just joking” about genocide Laura Loomer is Jewish. You’re a shonda on us, Laura.

THANKS everyone. This city council unanimously voted to cease business with Avelo. It can happen to your town, too. Here's the story:

Thank you for this. United Express was the only carrier to serve Arcata until Avelo. United still does so there is another option.
My late uncle fought in WW2 and was captured by the Germans. He was a prisoner of war. My uncle was of German descent. Being an American of German descent in a Nazi Prison was no joke, I assure you.
My favorite comic meme these days is Steve Rogers asking Tony when it became wrong to punch a Nazi.
Where is that from? I’d like to find it.
And now I can't find a single example.
Yeah. Been searching with any obvious terms I can think of and didn’t find anything like that. ☹️

They don't want to kill all the black people. They want to put them back in chains.
Started to bring this up. In the meantime, hate crimes and 'hunting and killing like rabbits'(said by Dr, Dick Gregory) will do.

Your *posts as well as others subscribed to don't show up in my notes/feed, although liking recent posts. Substack's chat gives nonsensical answers.
