Ask the women that got arrested for miscarrying their own baby, or were allowed to die after 40 hours of a half-born miscarried fetus hanging from them because doctors were unwilling to do anything that might be construed as aiding and abetting abortion.

You mean most of it isn’t already?

He doesn’t understand just how decentralized the military command structure is, and the enlisted-officer relationship that has existed for a very, very long time. Just because anything is written in a regulation and a high-ranking officer with a good idea fairy perched on his shoulder says something or orders something doesn’t mean it happens. Or that the report back from down below is actually true. Officers that actually rise up through the ranks understand that they, too, should sleep with one eye open if the enlisted do not approve.

I suppose, then, that when “Palestinian” is only applicable in the past tense, it won’t be a worse end-state, only exactly the same as the current state? That when people, like yourself and your entire family, are rounded up, that it “literally” won’t be any worse than it is right now when you can still walk freely and aren’t being literally tortured?

Joining mutual aid groups, coops, triple-checking that you don’t have any subscriptions you don’t absolutely need and doing your best to just use FOSS (it’s free!) instead for the sake of your own limited paycheck, triple-check that you’re taking advantage of the free programs and resources available to you like libraries and buy-nothing collectives, try growing a bit of your own food in used jars and buckets, encourage your children to also take advantage of the free resources they might not even know are available to them and ways to save even more by simply reusing every last bit they can if they aren’t already? Get to know your neighbors if you have any time left in your day, parents of your kids’ classmates? I don’t know your situation - none of these might be realistic for you - but those are some of the free ways I could think of off the top of my head for preparing.

what kind of person

A billionaire. Especially an old billionaire, who doesn’t give a shit about what happens to the planet because he won’t see the consequences. A psychopath narcissist who doesn’t care about anything except money - but I repeat myself.

I wonder how long the judge will maintain his sanity after disappearing into solitary as an “enemy of the state”, and whether this will give him any comfort as he is beaten and waterboarded for funsies.

So what you’re saying is, if there new federal government says to round up the Hispanics, Muslims, gays and trans people and put them in camps, States should comply, because there shouldn’t be exceptions?

Why not, in this reality we live in? Not in the ideal make-believe reality, in the current reality. Why shouldn’t we aim for it, especially when it comes to this, knowing that all three branches of the federal government are going to go a particular way? Even if it sets a bad precedence, screw it. Save lives now, rather than chase an ideal.

Tell that to the states that have legalized recreational marijuana, while marijuana is still a federally Class 1 controlled substance

So what’s your solution? Or should we just shrug and start reporting each other for “leftist behavior” to the secret police?

Unfortunately it still is the 18th century in some places in America, and women are afraid of their own lives if their husbands found out who they voted for.

If there’s one solace, it’s that “AI” is so broad a category that the Pentagon can just point at something like computer assisted target acquisition and go “done”.

Cool, you first. Go ahead. When the Trump Gestapo start marching down the steer in broad daylight, go out and riot. We’ll be right behind you.

Which country? You’re gonna have to be a bit more specific.

Yeah, how was that working out for you until they started turning up the heat? How was “when they go low, we go high” doing, in terms of actual election results?

The United States Military and the US Strategic Forces stand ready to fulfill our oaths to the Constitution. The Strategic Forces, in particular, stand ready to launch upon the receipt of a valid and authentic order to do so. And those of us who still take our oaths seriously stand ready to respond with whatever force is necessary to stop those traitors within our ranks who would defy or threaten the Constitution, in accordance with all rules and regulations set forth. Hooyah.

I personally like baresearch.org and SearXNG.site and switch hqcobajd forth if either gets temporarily suspended for making too many requests. I also saw a tutorial on YT on how to set up your own instance if you’re not on mobile. I do highly recommend still using ublacklist alongside SearXNG, since that helps block all the SEO spam and listicles.

Have you tried uBlacklist and SearXNG?
