The Trump/Miller immigration goons seem intent on shooting often enough to enrage a reaction - just begging for an excuse to use the Insurrection Act to declare martial law and void the 2026 midterm elections.
Hard as it is, peaceful protest is the only way to win.

I am just depressed by it all

I have people determined to force me to watch the news every night but eventually you cut your losses

But seriously the world has gotten to this state with leaders pandering to them too

You like to have faith in something but sadly there are these extremists

The world has been here before with police and armies killing civilians on the streets with no immediate consequences.
It didn't end well for the strongmen then. I doubt it will this time.

Three old songs that are now more relevant than ever during this hideous and evil Age of Trump:

"Only a Pawn in Their Game" - Bob Dylan

"F the CC" - Steve Earle

"The American Ruse" - The MC5

All are easily available on You Tube, as is this fourth bonus one:

"Ohio" - Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young

I would be willing to stand outside an ICE hotel all night banging my drum however, I am not stepping foot over the border. I'll do what I can to help in my little part of the planet.

I'm not even confident about crossing the Pacific

The autocrat is losing support here at home so like all autocrats do he is trying to show how strong he is by invading Poland.
Isn’t Mexico/Austria supposed to roll over and join like a pet dog?

Maybe but core MAGA support is there and assuming there will ever be elections in the USA again they will be largely irrelevant

Yes, I remember when he told a Christian group that after this election you won't have to vote again because we'll have it fixed so good. https://www.reuters....ion-2024-07-27/

Apparently the USA want to export their domestic immigration control to foreign countries
Is this in line with the State department offering assistance to foreign governments to help deal with their migrant problems
But at the Olympics in Italy too
Personally I feel the USA has lost the right, respect and trust to host the World Cup too - who would trust the place enough to show their face over there
Maybe I am misunderstanding something here. I understand security for the team, but ICE
getting too hot in Minnesota I guess. Not sure Europe will be more welcoming
And we are all being gaslighted over summary execution of the "domestic terrorists"
Anyone keeping records of the public statements from day to day
I honestly do not see how the likes of ICE and any global event mix at all in any part of the world
Maybe the ICE agents will seek asylum over there - trying to smuggle them away from Minneapolis

Scary being the only one posting anymore
What next?
And still so many losers cheering it on
Three more years too!
I hate saying some of us never had much confidence in many Presidents over the years. But etc

I would say I am going to spend the rest of my life in this hemisphere but South America has always appealed. Caribbean too.

Can I get to anything bypassing the USA

At least you weren't born here, so you have that going for you. The end goal seems to me to be a return to feudalism. The so-so well-to-do don't seem to understand the super rich at all or that the gorilla at the party is wealth disparity that unbridled capitalism encourages more of.
