The Trump Administration kidnapped a legal permanent resident and shuffled him through an authoritarian maze. We're witnessing the beginnings of something terrifying
I was wondering if and when "disappearing" might start happening. This is horrific and unbearable! This is a terrifying new level of authoritarianism and fascism. Right out in front of the world, the Trump administration brazenly abducted Mahmoud! His wife is 8 months pregnant and she was threatened with deportation as well! It's evil and cruel - illegal and nearly incomprehensible. If this illegal "disappearing" is allowed to stand, the U.S. will never be the same. I hate to say it, but if Mahmoud is deported into the arms of Netanyahu, he is likely to be imprisoned and tortured. If this abduction is ignored and allowed, then human rights and free speech will be meaningless in the U.S. Americans will descend further into a hellish state. We need some heroic people to emerge and everyone must fight this. Jared, I haven't listened to your episode about collective action yet - will read/listen. Can you please give suggestions for which episodes people can focus on reading or listen to with ideas of how Americans can fight this? Also, can other countries help in some way?
I appreciate your thoughts on the Gaza/Israel effects on the election. I think you have a good focus on the big picture and what's important. Thank you.
Thanks for the update, Jared. I still do not understand the end game. That is, what happens to us servants? No vaccines=death, business failures=oligarchs take over people and property, religion=New Apostolic Reformation, dollar=crypto, ??????
Is the idea that we servants will die due to sickness, violence, worker safety, climate change,etc. Reduce the number of servants so that no mass protests can occur?
Blonde Politics has a very thorough discussion of the endgame of at least one of the factions of this coup. It's on YouTube - the video is called "Dark Gothic Maga." Absolutely terrifying. But also immensely clarifying.

Contacted my representatives and senators about this. Thanks for the information. Horrifying.

All of this has been hard, but this has gutted me. There is no safe anymore.
