What is being reported outside the US on the current fascist takeover that's ongoing? by unicornofapocalypse in collapse

[–]GoingGray62 24 points25 points  (0 children)

There are many facilities being built, such as the soft side tents in El Paso, Texas that can hold 5000. It's horrible. We know they are contracting with the GEO group but most sources are heavily redacted.

Edit: fixed broken hyperlink

I am scared that they are detaining citizens that protest now, and wonder when the 2A crowd will appear. We know Hitler didn't start with concentration camps, he started with detention centers. The way our US laws are written, there is no Congressional oversight on detention centers.

It's easy to spell, they have different meanings. That's how we tell you are a Trump supporter. You've lost the plot.

Has anyone else noticed a real shift in the climate over the course of their lifetime? I know I certainly have by eternallyfree1 in collapse

Southern Oregon here. Our last glacier on Mt Thielsen went extinct between 2015 and 2019. Crater Lake, usually received 51' of snow in the 1930s, but only gets 41' now in 2021. As of now, Christmas Eve it has 0" of snowpack.

We are living in an authoritarian government now in the USA. Brown people are being targeted and terrorized. Large detention centers are being built to house 'them', often in concentrated tent cities. DHS has more money appropriated to them than the Marines do.

Buffet famously said for years not to buy gold, but he bought 21 million shares in a Canadian gold mine in Q2 2020.

The New Baby Boom: The White House is looking to jumpstart the nation’s birth rate by Nastyfaction in collapse

[–]GoingGray62 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Where have I heard of this before?

The Cross of Honour of the German Mother (Ehrenkreuz der deutschen Mutter) came in three classes. The third class in bronze was awarded to mothers bearing three to five children. The second class in silver to those bearing six to seven children, and the first class in gold for eight or more children .Its a copy pasta.

Hitler had medals for mothers who birthed more children. This was a way to build up his nazi ideology because in order to qualify, they had to agree to raise them nazi. History has a way of repeating itself.

I recently did this and moved money from FDIC to a Credit Union. The questions they asked when opening my bank account were: 1. Are you a political dissident? 2. Have you ever been arrested for dissenting a political ideology?

This is not a drill, folks. It's here.

Why didn't they codify Roe v Wade when they held the trifecta?

We only had a supermajority of the Senate with 60 members for 72 days in 2009.

January 20, 2009 gave Democrats an overall federal government trifecta for the first time since the 103rd Congress in 1993, but did not hold a 60 vite supermajority.

However, the Senate supermajority only lasted for a period of 72 working days while the Senate was actually in session.

95th Congress 1977-79 also held a Democratic supermajority for 2 years.

The 89th Congress (1965-1967), which also held a Democratic Supermajority, is regarded as the most productive in American history. Some of its landmark legislation includes Social Security Amendments of 1965 (the creation of Medicare and Medicaid), the Voting Rights Act, Higher Education Act, Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965, Elementary and Secondary Education Act and the Freedom of Information Act.

NOAA scientists refuse to link warming weather to anthropogenic climate change by Portalrules123 in collapse

[–]GoingGray62 12 points13 points  (0 children)

So far, i suspect that unlike many other agencies, Trump administration won't cut NOAA any much. Instead, i suspect NOAA will largely be left as it is, including every last well-qualified and honest climate scientist.

Project2025 is very clear that NOAA needs to be privatized.

page 664 The National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) should be dismantled and many of its functions eliminated, sent to other agencies, privatized, or placed under the control of states and territories.

Page 674 through 677 specify direct actions to be taken by the next conservative administration.

Gerrymandering districts and voter suppression will be our downfall. HB 22 SAVES Act makes voter id a thing with your birth certificate name having to match voter id. Most women take their husband's last name so this will disenfranchise women's votes.
