They've already moved from "illegal" immigrants to legal ones. There's discussion of removing birthright citizenship so they can deport them too.

There's no way they need that huge budget for ICE if they plan on stopping at immigrants.

Which minority group is next? They've already attacked DEI, so should we expect other people of colour? LGBT? Democrats? People with autism? Disabilities? Mental illness? What group will they brand "undesirables" next?

In a year, two years, five years, what will you be able to say you were doing to stop the genocide? Waving a sign on the weekend isn't going to help.

Surprise: all of those at the same time! They never stopped attacking us queer folk and are now trying to ban adult HRT and make "gender identity fraud" a felony. They've also been attacking neurodivergent folk, and RFK has openly admitted he wants to send anyone with ADHD or autism to a labor camp.

Republicans straight up get a half chub at the thought of inflicting pain and misery. They are the world's greatest sadists.

I personally fled the US because I check off all the boxes

I keep waiting for Americans to wake up to the threat and actually do something, but I don't think it'll happen before it's too late. I'm glad you got out and are somewhere safe.

Next are journalists, activists (especially leaders/organizers), political opponents and critics. That's the classics.

Would anyone be surprised to find out that the inverse were true?

... agents with criminal convictions represent sharpest growth in ICE population

I spoke to a Trump supporter who was convinced they would only go after criminals. They were wrong.

To a Trump supporter, being Hispanic is a crime in and of itself
