I can tell you that there are millions of us standing up for what’s right. Last weekend, 5+ million of us protested. Unfortunately the corporate media refuses to acknowledge it. We’re doing it peacefully since violence would give the Trump regime an excuse to crack down on all of us. And if it comes time to actually fight for our rights, we will do that as well.

I stand with Canada and Ukraine and Europe and freedom loving people everywhere, and many Americans do as well. Keep on standing up against Trump and his enablers by boycotting American goods and whatever else you can do. I know it’s going to hurt me and millions of average, everyday Americans, but in my mind, it’s worth it to get rid of the nationalist christofascists in America.

I've been following this on Blue Sky and if the fascists get away with it nobody in the US will be safe. How long before republican theocrats start demanding that anyone who isn't a Christian should be deported.

That's what worries me. Rubio just issued a memo to all of his diplomats and staff to report any 'Anti-Christian' rhetoric. I'm not a Christian nor do I work for the government, but I am pretty outspoken these days. Will they come after me someday in the next four years? My wife is a green card holder from an adversarial country. Will they try to deport her, along with her daughter, who is married with two American born children?

I'm researching for possible exit avenues should I need to do so someday. I have come up with a couple, courtesy of some new laws in one and a friend in another country. If my family members should be deported just for being born in a country Trump doesn't like, I will follow. But why should I be forced out of a country I have lived in most of my life for exercising my first amendment rights? I am a citizen, for now. I served this country honorably for over thirty years in its military. I guess its all come down to what you say, to whom anymore, that will allow someone to stay in the U.S. Loyalty to Der Fuehrer is where the U.S. is heading now, which official speech is being dictated by Israel these days.

I was somewhat not surprised since he was being held in Louisiana and his hearing was there. ICE moved him from I think New Jersey to Louisiana because they knew if he went in front of a judge there, the outcome could be what they wanted.
