This is encouraging snitching in a "drive out political dissent" way. Evil stuff.

Every single thing this administration and its sycophants do can be tied back to shit the nazis did.

New Bill Would Allow Rubio to Strip US Citizens' Passports Over Political Speech
The legislation would allow the Secretary of State to strip anyone's US passport with no legal due process. [...] the secretary of state would be able to deny passports to people whom they determine "has knowingly aided, assisted, abetted, or otherwise provided material support to an organization the Secretary has designated as a foreign terrorist organization."
Rubio has previously boasted of stripping the visas and green cards from several immigrants based purely on their peaceful expression of pro-Palestine views, describing them as "Hamas supporters."

So once they get those lists...
Wonder if they already have Palantir or other AI services scraping social media for supposed "terrorist sympathizers".
Though why would they want to force people to stay in the country? To be imprisoned for slave labor, spare parts, or experimentation? Or to be made "examples" of? For loyal MAGA minions to torture for fun?
But it's part of their progressive (well, anti-progressive, but they've making "progress") attempts to strip away protections and give the executive branch largely unprecedented unilateral peacetime powers...

The post-mortem on how the USA fell to this in a few decades is going to be wild. People in 50 years are going to wonder how it seemed to fall so quickly and easily into a fascist haven, less than 100 years removed from the previous world dalliance with fascism.

They came with white hands and left with red hands.

Every FB or Insta post I'm seeing about the Kirk murder is nothing but hatred and threats and whatnot. The fuck is going on in the US?
The meaning of life is BOOM!!!

Yeah, and desperate scrabbling about 'the shooter was a leftist'.
The US Fascists can't accept that the shooter was one of their own so they try and find a marginalised group to punch down on, or use what happened as an excuse to do so.
It's extremely telling that there's so much hand wringing over someone who by all accounts was utterly foul, and yet someone on the opposite side of the fence was murdered a couple of months ago and... crickets.
Every threat of violence seems to come from those deep in the right wing. And yet, as per over here, when you point this out you're jeered (or threatened with physical violence). World's gone to hell.
