Welcome to the next phase of rising authoritarianism


?s=21



Welcome to the next phase of rising authoritarianism. Anyone who says the republic can survive four more years of this is lying to him/herself or lying to you.


Oregon Public Broadcasting confirms tweets today that federal officers in camouflage but no agency identification or badges, driving unmarked non-government rental cars, are grabbing protestors off streets in Portland and not talking w local authorities



Walt Shaub
and Mary Trump are right. Our Democracy won’t survive 4 more years of Trump.

That's more like abducting citizens and kidnapping.

I saw one where they said nothing. Just grab and go. This cannot at all be lawful or constitutional.

One step away from disappearing people.
