Would Canada welcome us Americans? With all that our stupid and cruel leader has done, we might not be well liked or even tolerated. I’d love to move to Canada! I love it there!!! And you love hockey!! Big plus!
Damn, as they push us further and further, they increase the likelihood that violent pushback may become necessary. That is not how things are supposed to work here in the Land of the Free. Just another unprecedented way MAGA is destroying all that we have built. Wishing you and your family well, Walter. All of us, too.
I'm a senior citizen who depends on Social Security for the bulk of my income. I have been unable to get Medicaid or food stamps because they say I earn too much money (I have a part-time job as a church singer). I don't know if my Social Security payments will be coming on time from now on, or if Medicaid and food stamps will even exist. So yes, I'm anxious, too. I don't think anyone will consider me worth sending to El Salvador, although I have posted anti-Trump writings on Substack and Medium, but I hope I won't be starving soon.
I'm so sorry you have to deal with that Kathy. They're going to try to strangle social security through bureaucratic hurdles. It's so disgusting what we have to deal with right now.
Thank you for continuing to write. I will do the same. Today I'm in between a scream and a puddle on the floor, but I'll keep writing. You do the same. Until they drag us away. I know that day is coming. I'm not one of the oblivious ones.
I am disappointed and alarmed at the ICE, law enforcement, and legal personnel who carry out these unconstitutional actions. Like any dictator, they need enablers and followers. Oppression is only possible with the aid of enough mindless thugs. We have that here. Shit.
You won’t end up in El Salvador and here’s why: you and I and thousands of others are reaching out to millions of Americans who really do believe in Democracy to save Democracy and we aren’t quiet anymore anytime anywhere anyway. We are urging everyone to question their silent Members of Congress to stand up to their Oath of Office or resign. We are suggesting Americans do this daily. Then email. Keep the Congressional switchboard hot with calls. Swamp emails. Protest like crazy. March. We aren’t a nation of cowards filled with fear because of the likes of a psychotic narcissistic dictator wannabe. We Are America and when we gather together we are more than strong. We are telling the media to go to hell or print the Truth while unsubscribing. Daily, more people are joining US in this battle. We are Americans and we are warriors against any prevalent evil globally. We are the people who embrace humankind and we are tough. We are Americans who uplift our Veterans and Heroes and want them to join us in this fight. We will win because of who we are how we are and we are strong. Keep writing and reaching and doing and leave the fear in the ether where it belongs. Warriors have no fear and you are a warrior.
Walter, the amount of fear you do have is healthy—it’s a facet of your motivation and your motivation is essential. I too have fears while I silence them with my faith in the American People and in people like you! In this fight of Evil vs Good (simplistically as I view it) Good has the Power. And so do you.
I spend a decent chunk of time posting (and restacking) all the illegal and abnormal things this regime is doing, with seemingly NO CONSEQUENCES. I vacillate between anger and heartbreak, sometimes within the same 5 minutes. I even sometimes wonder if I’m putting a bullseye on my back? That would be okay with me, since I’m over 60 and I answer to no one (except my conscience). I’m willing to be on the frontlines in what is looking like an inevitable battle between good and evil. It just never occurred to me that the so-called leadership of this country, including the president, would be on the side of evil.
Trump also talked about getting rid of useless people. It's not a far stretch to have him include the homeless. Or it would be a good way for him to purge Social Security. Just get rid of the old people. We think in terms of him getting rid of Bernie Sanders or AOC but it would be easier for him to pick off the low hanging fruit. People he thinks are helpless to fight back.
This is what a real “witch hunt” looks like. MAGAs and P2025 witch hunters, with the help of the wealthy overlords, finding “terrorists”. It’s been done before when they looked for the heretics.
If you want to avoid this whole thing, move to Canada. You'd never catch our government doing any of this crap.
I so wish I could move to Canada

What about Pierre Poilievre, and Alberta and Saskatchewan?

i have not felt safe for months now.

Yup. I've got 50 articles scheduled to post. I'll be shouting at the void even after I'm dead, for a few months anyway.
How to become a dictator:
1. Deny reality.
2. Deport undesirables.
3. Defy the law.
4. Destroy education.
Done!
I’m terrified what the regime is doing and frustrated with the fact that no one is willing to stop him
It CAN happen here…and it is. I feel like Ive been gut punched.

Scotland is talking about refugee status for Americans. I’d like to see that in other countries too.
Alba gu bràth! I love scotland!
Good that you consider all the things that happen not necessarily to do with you. Not many would.

Well said. I do have fear, but I'll keep fighting. I'm not fearless, but you're right, i have no intention of backing down.

Thank you for this, Karen. Some of us need a reminder of who we are as Americans.. You have so much fire you could be out there with Bernie and AOC!

I hear you, Walter. Yesterday was the straw that broke the Camel's back for me. WE are very FUCKING FAR from FINE. Praying for you and your family.
