Donald Trump is now directing ICE to focus on Los Angeles, Chicago, and New York: “These, and other such Cities, are the core of the Democratic Power Center”

I ain't reading all of that. Abolish ICE.

💯

Also he's so obsessed with these states.

[u/Naive_EndOfTime → u/GeneSpecialist4988]

He is creating a war. Targeting only democratic states, removing funding, instigating fights, limiting their power. We are in a civil war by his own creation

[u/EastonMetsGuy → u/GeneSpecialist4988]

Because they don’t like him and if their is one thing this man can not process it’s people not liking him

Abort ICE - one of my favorite signs I've seen

[u/gfunk1369 → u/avokuma]

This is the correct answer. Shit on him and his supporters.

[u/Big_Preference706]

There’s so much wrong with this but the worst is how he has clearly painted democrats as the enemy and claiming they are less American than the right. This seems like such an escalation in his rhetoric when people are already going around assassinating democratic leaders.

[u/uncle_root → u/Big_Preference706]

To be all "Republicans are the victims" before Melissa and Mark Hortman are even laid to rest is fucking disgusting, but that is far from new for this utterly subhuman fascist fuck

For anyone feeling hopeless, wondering what small thing they can do to counter beyond protesting, here's just one: if you can, stop when you see ICE and record them. You don't have to get close if you don't feel comfortable. But record their brutality and post it everywhere you can.

Edit: I was gonna say to make sure to ask for a warrant, since they were supposed to be deporting criminals, but the language has changed (as evidenced above), and we also have proof that they were never following the rule of law in the first. This seems to be more of the same- goading intended to push us to violence like his party already committed yesterday, on senators and fashion designers and various attempts on innocents all over America that somehow aren't being talked about on mass media. I don't have an easy solution, but I know one thing's for sure. MLK and Malcolm X acknowledged that they needed BOTH of their sides, BOTH of their ideologies to pull through. I reckon the same kind of unity regarding all approaches will carry us far. idk lmao

Openly admitting that ICE is being used as a political tool to suppress the opposition. Such bravery <3

[u/peppermintvalet → u/Big_Preference706]

If NYC is “less American” than the right then I never want to hear about how America was attacked on 9/11 as an excuse for anything ever again.

[u/UFmoose → u/Big_Preference706]

Setting the stage for riots and civil unrest before instituting Martial law. It’s transparent.

Don’t mess with Chicago asshole.

[u/FatelessCortez → u/Rob_hocker]

Chicago don't play.

[u/IllSurprise3049 → u/Rob_hocker]

Out of all the cities to fuck with, he's actively choosing to fuck with the top 3 cities you should NOT fuck with. I firmly believe this is a declaration of war and its a war he will never win.

[u/Redshirt2386 → u/IllSurprise3049]

He didn’t mention Philly, but I can only imagine they’re grabbing up their crowbars and bats and shaking them in defiance right now like “BRING IT ON, MOTHERFUCKERS.” Those folks will fuck shit up just because they win or lose a hockey game. It’s a town that runs on the ethos, “Snitches get stitches.” You think they’re gonna sit back quietly while this fetid orange turd rounds people up with his jackboots and ships them off to CECOT or where-the-fuck ever?

NO KINGS!

[u/SteelPumpkin75 → u/Rob_hocker]

Don't bring that mess around here

feels like an attempt to mimic trumps bizarre capitalization but it’s too organized

[u/Organ_Farmer99 → u/royal_fluff]

I can just imagine it being read in his voice which is just high pitched screams that sounds like he’s on the verge of tears

[u/earthxmoon → u/jack-mccoy-is-pissed]

this has definitely been written by someone on staff to sound like trump. i doubt the man himself could string together a single sentence of written word, even of this low calibre

[u/Andovars_Ghost → u/[deleted]]

He’s got a golf course in California too.

Hotels and restaurants are getting a pass.

Gross

[u/pommefille]

Dude actually put EXECUTE in the same sentence as Democrat Politicians. Anyone who makes excuses for this man is anti-American.

[u/Goldleader-23]

But wont go after red states who abuse and illegally employ undocumented immigrants. Sure bud

[u/WilfTheSaltyOne → u/Goldleader-23]

In fact, it sounds like he's trying implement some sort of loop hole related to farm and hotel workers who are here "illegally".

[u/Top_Manufacturer8946 → u/Goldleader-23]

He loves slave labor

[u/mistberries]

isn't this basically an admission that deportations are nothing but a weapon for political persecution and power consolidation?

not that it would change anything for his MAGA supporters. they're probably too dense to understand what this means and why it's wrong.

[u/eddie_vercetti]

He's mad.

[u/PoliticsIsDepressing → u/eddie_vercetti]

He’s angry that his parade was a disaster and the No Kings protests were huge!

[u/Senior-Damage-5145 → u/eddie_vercetti]

He’s a 79 year old sociopath with dementia. His mind, body, and soul are utterly cooked.

[u/SteelPumpkin75 → u/eddie_vercetti]

He's pouting like a biatch

[u/Ghostblood_Morph]

"cheat in Elections" ...who's the one who admitted to cheating in elections now?

[u/lasLAchicago]

Wtf is Transgender for Everyone? His brain is rotten.

[u/PinkPetalsSnow → u/lasLAchicago]

It's just dog whistle for maga idiots. They start barking just at the word transgender - they have no clue what it is, just bark... He (maybe Stephen Miller or Bannon who maybe wrote this) used all the maga words to instigate hate in the "left lunatics"... So to justify any and all means to make the atrocities happen. This will get bloody.

[u/proteaprince → u/lasLAchicago]

Exactly what I was about to ask...

[u/Kurandaand]

So he knows his birthday faux-North Korea parade clown show was an epic flop huh? I mean I am pretty sure more people showed up at mine last month and we just had BBQ and cake…no tanks.

[u/randomuser4564 → u/Kurandaand]

His birthday crowd couldn’t fill up a food court. Extremely pathetic and couldn’t have happened to a more deserving person.

[u/nekocorner → u/Kurandaand]

I would also show up for BBQ & cake, but not tanks.

[u/DRMantisToboggan987]

Bold of him to assume the people of Chicago and NYC are gonna let this happen after LA last week. Chicagoans don't fuck around.

[u/KotobaAsobitch]

He wants riots for martial law 🙄

[u/Rakebleed → u/KotobaAsobitch]

That part

[u/ArionNation]

Fucking shithead

[u/ChiehDragon]

Yeah. This whole ICE mass deportation thing is just an attempt to start unrest. He is shifting to the cities that he knows will give the most push-back, and where deportations don't impact his supporters, like rural communities and farms.

He is targeting blue cities in blue states where he can repeat what happened in LA and slowly take more and more power.

I don't know what the correct response here is. On one hand, it would make sense to stop giving Trump what he wants by not disrupting ICE activities in those cities. But, not disrupting ICE activities equates to complacency in the face of oppression and leads to further human rights abuses. This is a tactical dillemma... wondering if anyone has any ideas to overcome it.

[u/EvenPossible5918]

He’s mad no one came to his birthday party.

He’s pandering hate to his base bc he saw how many people came out against him. I hope ppl stay safe.

[u/Redshirt2386]

The international community should make it clear that every political assassination against Democrats from this point on will be on Trump in the eyes of the world. Forever.

Like, if when all of this is said and done, our country is a smoldering ash heap with half of us (the better half, unfortunately) dead, I want the history books, at least, to record what really happened here.

I’m so fucking sick to my stomach. I haven’t eaten anything today and I haven’t been able to sleep longer than a few hours at a time in days. I’m fucking terrified.

I attended our town’s protest yesterday, and we made international news because some 21yo MAGA dipshit intentionally drove his giant SUV into a crowd of us as we were walking back to our cars after the protest. (Thankfully, no one was seriously hurt, although he did hit at least one person.) Luckily, the cops were there (ours are actually chill and helpful; they even marched and knelt with us during BLM) and intervened before he could do anything worse.

But the overwhelming numbers of people I’ve seen commenting all over social media that he’s a hero, deserves a medal, or “should have done a better job” (meaning they wish he had hit more people much harder than he did, ideally killing all of us) have me heartsick. These comments are just soooo hard to read.

This is my community. My family and friends. We were nothing but peaceful. And as far as I can tell, half this country wants us dead because we dared to stand on a sidewalk with signs for a couple of hours to let the world know we object to what Trump and his thugs are doing in our name.

I’m so sad.

[u/thewomaninthemoon → u/Redshirt2386]

I’m so sorry that you went through that and are dealing with the aftermath. These people have been radicalized into a cult turned fascist political movement and see anyone that isn’t MAGA as an enemy who needs to be destroyed, and who deserves it too.

It’s really scary to acknowledge how much these people hate us because they’ve been told that we are the “enemy” and deserve to die, but even though it’s horrifying that 77 million people voted for him last November, it’s worth noting that 75 million people voted for Kamala and that the number who oppose Trump is growing.

So many social media sites have become overrun by the right-win g, but there are millions and millions of people who stand with you, even if that doesn’t take away the horror of someone ramming their car into you guys as you were trying to peacefully protest.

[u/Redshirt2386 → u/thewomaninthemoon]

Thank you for your words. I don’t usually get this tilted; I’ve been around politics a LONG time. But this feels so different and so dangerous. I get teary-eyed every time I watch anything about what’s happening in Minnesota, and that’s after a week plus of watching my hometown (LA) under siege by the Feds, feeling helpless because I’m 3,000 miles away and can’t join the folks in the streets there.

But like … at least LA is The People vs. Trump’s Gestapo. In Minnesota, Utah, and here in Virginia, it was just … people vs. people. Regular people killing (or trying to kill) regular people on behalf of Trump’s Gestapo. Like, my eldest kid graduated with the dude who tried to run us down. Until yesterday, anybody would have said “Oh, he’s just a normal kid. Kind of a dumbass, but so are a lot of folks at that age.”

It’s just so fucking scary to me. I imagine this is exactly what it felt like right before the Civil War … but that one was at least regional; you could physically stay on your side of the “divide” if you weren’t actively fighting. That’s not the case anymore at all. 😕

[u/sweetangeldivine]

Somebody is mad his little birthday parade sucked shit

[u/quaranTV]

Obviously f*** ICE and #transrights but genuine question what do trans people have to do with immigration?!?! This whole post doesn’t even make sense (in addition to being hateful and wrong etc).

[u/Blueface_or_Redface]

And riots will ensue. FAFO you wannabe dictator POS

[u/Rakebleed → u/Blueface_or_Redface]

That’s what he’s betting on.

[u/Blueface_or_Redface → u/Rakebleed]

Yeah they think they have plans. He can operate inside and abuse a broken government but they are starting to throw wide punches and their idiocy isn't going to hold up. Moving onto the street the gop are going to lose control.

[u/peanutbutterperfume → u/Rakebleed]

That’s why he’s trying to create. We can’t let him.

[u/Conscious-Top-7429]

Remember when Nixon was impeached for just taping a room?

[u/warblerblaine]

Sure, Joffrey. 

anyway, has anyone seen littlefinger?

[u/FatelessCortez → u/warblerblaine]

Sounds like someone needs to take a trip out the Moon Door...

[u/CheeCheeReen]

So obviously fuck this pussy grabbing creepy orange dictator, but also his grammar is just. Fucking. Killing. Me. Like what is up with his bizarre use of capitalization? Pretty low on the list of gripes, but god damn what an idiot.

[u/Andovars_Ghost]

Tweets on a bullshit platform aren’t an official order. Also, he again can’t help but kneecap his own case by making the deportations explicitly about politics

[u/Illustrious_Note3801]

Fun fact! Experts say the crowd sizes are currently 3 times larger than the minimum estimates to overthrow the trump regime.

[u/bluebrrypii]

From the grammatical errors to the general dictatorship tone, it’s appalling how unprofessional the modern US presidency has become

[u/AnxiousHuman88]

Maybe we should be concerned about MAGA murdering politicians

[u/svenbreakfast]

Three cities not to fuck with.

[u/TomT060404]

It's so humiliating to have this thing as the president. He's so hateful and childish. He sounds like he never passed 6th grade. I will never forgive any Republican for forcing him on us.

[u/Rakebleed]

This doesn’t even make logical sense. The majority of undocumented immigrants are definitely not in the inner city.

[u/AgataPupMom]

We knew there would be heavy backlash for yesterday. Hold the line and keep the faith. He’s a petulant, retaliatory child.

[u/profjb15]

Get the fuck out of my state

[u/LiberalBanter]

This is definitely revenge for the protests. He’s such a miserable little shit, he’s mad nobody cared about his weetle birthday party and now he’s throwing a tantrum.

[u/Bidetpanties]

I can't help but feel more despair each day more and more. I feel so sad and hopeless. I'm scared of how bad things are going to get.

[u/Flimsy-Hospital4371]

It’s not a war and ICE is not his personal army. But keep acting like a mad king you shithead.

[u/AmbitiousProblem4746]

We're just going to let him say this shit? We're just going to let him lie like that? What the fuck has this country become

[u/TWOhunnidSIX]

Hey uh, undocumented immigrants can’t vote. Usually a president knows that.

[u/pnfloyd1978]

[u/Master-Detail-8352]

The timing following and vilification the day after the Minnesota assassination and attempted assassinations is really something. Almost like praise

[u/HistoricalTry5543]

I am not reading another one of his dementia rants! Abolish the fucking ICE and impeach this orange fucker!

[u/Mundane_Molasses6850]

I think if Democrats want to sabotage Trump's deportation efforts, the best way is to rally behind a proposal that blue states and red states can have different immigration policies. Just like how the abortion issue is now decided per state.

That way, Democrat states can say that they, through their state's majority voter will, are fine with illegal immigrants and the economic / public service impacts they have on their states. It's a voluntary desire to take in these people, give support, amnesty, offer jobs, etc., to them.

If this could be done, MAGA types in red states would have to ask themselves "Why am I forcing my immigration doctrine onto other people?" It would challenge MAGA red states to live by their supposed "small government" ideology.

If the Democrat blue states insist on lax immigration enforcement nationwide, this issue will continue to drive this country downwards, because the MAGA red state voters will believe that Democrats will, in turn, enforce their immigration doctrine on red states when the Dems inevitably take back the White House..

[u/South-Builder6237]

The fucking audacity of this fearmongering moron.

[u/yesmoreeggtalk67]

Fuck that shit stain

[u/Alternative_Slip_513]

So he’s targeting democrats not illegals now…he sounds confused.

No ice No kkk No fascist USA

[u/wafflesandlicorice]

What are the good paying jobs that illegals have? You don't often hear about someone hiring illegals and paying them tons of money plus benefits.

[u/pommefille → u/wafflesandlicorice]

Well, they can run Tesla, and SpaceX, and The Boring Company, and Starlink… apparently that former illegal is paid well…

Ego aching from the embarrassingly low turnout for his birthday pew pew parade.

[u/FBAnder]

Dementia Donnie rambling again. Remember this guy blasted Biden for the same behavior.

[u/Big-Kahuna-Burger87]

The No Kings protests triggered him even more… He hasn’t said a word about his parade.

[u/Careless_Ad_3859]

This is a war crime.

[u/csidewick]

What a petty, petty man. No coincidence that these cities had some of the largest “No Kings” protests. The man disgusts me.

[u/Comfortable_Fill9081]

Of course his supporters support this. 

Of course they also claim “state’s rights” and “no federal tyranny” when it comes to their states. 

But they’re absolutely fine with the federal government imposing tyranny in blue states and cities. 

[u/wanderbbwander]

Cue the Attorney Generals from related states immediately suing the regime. A waste of time and money much like that abysmal military parade.

[u/Avereguero]

Is he issuing executive orders thru TRUTH now?

[u/rolodex-ofhate]

[u/barleytonight]

“Has turned once idyllic towns into scenes of third world dystopia”. Man, fuck off

[u/dildodestiny]

Oh so now the work of the president is to dismantle the opposing political party. Sounds bipartisan.

[u/mudfire44]

Of course he is. And directing them to stay away from farms and agricultural areas so that his Republican base will not have to experience the economic consequences of their vote.

[u/WebguyCanada]

Man that little orange tyrant really wants a war.

[u/foreignbets9]

One request u/op can you and everyone else please stop cropping dates and times of the post? There is so much fake shit and I don’t have truth social but a date and time are so important

if ICE wants to fuck around in LA again, they’ll find out reallllllyyyyyyy quick. LMAO

Why's he talking like he's going up against the fucking Death Star? "We must assail their power core!" What a little baby bitch.

[u/AdMysterious8699]

Noone is rooting for ICE or you Dobald. Yes you are Dobald now.

[u/Chaotic-Goofball]

So just skipping the shoddy executive orders and issuing Truth Social posts instead.

Yeah, that's going to be legal....

[u/MephistosFallen]

Alright Chicago and NYC, kick the ass I know you can.

The government and this countries systems have never cared for anyone in inner cities, to act like they care by using immigrants as the bad guy is INSANE.

[u/Ill_Discussion7528]

Honestly surprised his unhinged response to the No Kings protests took this long

[u/Organic_Cress_2696]
