States need to start stepping up to protect their population. They can't legally prevent ICE from entering the state, but they can refuse to share information with them, pardon crimes, hand out informational pamphlets educating them on their rights, declare state of emergency if need be.

When I look at myself in the first grade and I look at myself now, I'm basically the same. The temperament is not that different.

• Donald Trump

I'm not even joking.

Trump is inciting riots so he can use it as an excuse for Martial Law.

He does want you to see it. Otherwise it would be visually blocked like most historical buildings do in D.C. when going through reconstruction.

There is a phrase for that, it's called "Jumping the Shark".

It seems like you're arguing in bad faith and pretending not to understand the core issues. At this point, you're either missing the point entirely or you're siding with fascists, whether you realize it or not.

Wasn't Russia left off the list? hmmm

Ugh, I was about to buy one in the next couple weeks. I was expecting higher prices but not a "can no longer purchase".

The US hasn't done enough to prevent the climate change that's causing all these fires!!

This is the most gut-wrenchingly dystopian thing I've read in a while. I can't believe it's not satire.

I was on the waiting list for a therapist for months, finally got to see her and the clinic is suddenly forced to stop gender affirming care. I don't know the details, something about funding. But Aaaargh!! On the bright side, my therapist is still happy to help, just that her hands are tied on HRT, but she can be creative to provide me support and care. Still not sure what I'm going to do, still trying to figure myself out

3rd place: abscess on tailbone. had to be lanced and drained.

2nd place: cracked rib recovery; every sneeze, cough, laugh, or fart, would hurt like hell.

1st place: herniated disc. holy mother of god!

While I don't want to discourage anyone from contacting their representatives, mine refused to show up to a rather large town hall meeting. Went so far as to refuse to respond to all inquiries from multiple parties and news media whether or not he would attend. Over a thousand people showed up by my estimates to address their grievances to an empty chair.

I often recall Howard Dean's promising presidential run coming to a screaching halt with one excited and slightly awkward "yyEAH" on stage.

those are my two favorite names! elizabeth has so many nicknames.

This is my hole. It was made for me.

The same type of people complaining about Gender-Neutral bathrooms are the same type of people that would complain about desegregated water fountains. Bigots.

I'm convinced he's trying to incite riots for martial law, and force an economic collpase so he and his cronies can buy up the bankrupt companies and assets.

I think for a lot of people, they'd normally be right there with you, and as you mentioned with self defense, the more people are pushed into survival-mode against someone hell-bent on destroying you, it starts to feel like destroying Nazis is the moral thing to do. Are you familiar with the Paradox of Tolerance? If you tolerate intolerance, it will take over society, so one could argue you must never tolerate intolerance. With Nazis being the real world embodiment of this paradox, extending that reasoning, the morally responsible thing to do is to destroy Nazis any time and place they spring up.
