"Don't make any bad decisions" is their new pre-self defense killing language.

I've seen a number of videos of ICE agents saying that, some with gun in hand.
It chills me. It angers me. Any decision is a bad decision if it ends up getting you shot. And going anywhere ICE is could get you shot. So if you go anywhere ICE is and get shot, the default guilty party is you for being there. The very combination of being there and being shot by ICE is what will stamp you with being a "Domestic Terrorist". This is the Administration's de facto legal stance. And they are going to get away with it. All he needs is every branch of government, one third of America to practically worship him and one third of America to do nothing.

This is not the turning point I thought it would be. We've seen turning points come and go, each with greater urgency but weaker momentum to change the direction we're headed. I fear the juggernaut of insanity has completely overwhelmed us. I fear the center will not hold.

with a Supreme Court greenlighting illegal activity and a Congress incapable of removing him from office.

Never mind a media that still can't even just say he's a liar, let alone an obvious fascist and tyrant.
