“The tools of conquest do not necessarily come with bombs and explosions and fallout. There are weapons that are simply thoughts, attitudes, prejudices - to be found only in the minds of men. For the record, prejudices can kill and suspicion can destroy, and a thoughtless, frightened search for a scapegoat has a fallout all its own - for the children and the children yet unborn. And the pity of it is that these things cannot be confined to The Twilight Zone.”

The gerrymander fight is on. There is a new playbook. The old rules have been struck down by the Supreme Court. We need to change the gears here as fast as possible for deadly preemptive strikes. Newsom has moved out on this already. Who is next? Hochul. Where are you? Ptitzker. What are you doing?
With ICE as his brown shirts, Trump moves to make the National Guard - especially in Confederate states - his black shirts. Perfect. Though not trained for police work, they ARE trained to invade and eliminate the “enemy”.
The responsibility for this travesty is not only with Trump and the listed Red state governors, it's also with every single Republican member of the House and the Senate. They are complicit.
Mass deportation may indeed be the goal … but also housing future unpaid labor from the concentration camps to replace underpaid immigrant labor, is also a consideration.
