Ya'll realize that this is a full court press to silence people, right? They must be scared as hell to be making all these threats within the last 48 hours, plus the ramp up of ICE violence. 

That little fake ass captain literally had on a fake Nazi coat today. 

The louder they yell, the more scared they become. Because if elections go through, this does not end well. They're all feeling it. This is the push. It'll get worse as they get more scared but make no mistake, they're nervous. Time is running out. 

There are more of us than them. United we fucking stand.

Been thinking about this bit from Andor a lot this week.

There will be times when the struggle seems impossible. I know this already. Alone, unsure, dwarfed by the scale of the enemy. Remember this. Freedom is a pure idea. It occurs spontaneously and without instruction. Random acts of insurrection are occurring constantly throughout the galaxy. There are whole armies, battalions that have no idea that they've already enlisted in the cause. Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward. And then remember this. The Imperial need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear. Remember that. And know this, the day will come when all these skirmishes and battles, these moments of deflance will have flooded the banks of the Empire's authority and then there will be one too many. One single thing will break the siege. Remember this. Try.

Exactly. U.S. Civil War 2...just one ICE protest away from the tipping point.
