You know how in every movie set during WWII there’s a scene where Nazis are checking papers on the trains? That is the USA as of today

@danirabbit Honestly I'm stunned at how quietly and easily Americans have accepted this as the new normal.

@Miles Offit... 🇨🇦🇪🇺🇺🇦 The Overton window shifts faster and faster since Agent Orange came to power.

Clinton was almost impeached for boinking an intern, Trump isn't even impeached for holding back information about him raping minors on Epstein Island. Not even mentioning the looooong list of other transgressions.

@danirabbit Sending ICE to airports has the effect of metastasizing the Minneapolis fiasco nationwide. Thugs galore! Not only will this intensify the Resistance, but it will piss off well-heeled travelers everywhere.

@danirabbit how is this legal? Are there really no requirements for training and whatnot that prohibit arbitrarily swapping who’s doing which job? Or spending money from the ICE bucket for TSA spending?

@danirabbit Time for clandestine shouts of “Fuck ICE” to echo thru US airport terminals. People! Stand Together!!

@danirabbit I keep wondering if the largest part of US citizens, not casting their vote on elections, have any feeling about what they built, with their indolence.

Like this will speed things up.

Just like everything else they do, I suspect it will have the opposite effect.

Yep. Trump putting ICE at airports has SFA to do with maintaining or enhancing security during a partial govt shutdown. It's another opportunity for Stephen Miller's ICE to make their quotas for arresting and deporting immigrants...and anyone who objects to what they're doing or how they do it.

When they rolled out professional molesters at the airports, I was done. I take trains and buses. I haven't been on a plane in 21 years.

And now it's getting worse?

@danirabbit The idea that "in every movie set during WWII there's a scene were Nazis are checking papers on the trains" is not really valid.
Counterexamples:
"To be or not to be" (1942 version ).
"Das Boot" (nearly all of it on a submarine)
"Der Untergang" (last days in Hitler's bunker)
"Green for Danger" (murder mistery/comedy in a British hospital during World-War II).
"South Pacific" (WWII but not in Europe).
"Casablanca"
"Bridge on the River Kwai"

From outside the orange curtain this sure does look like a dictatorship functionally under martial law.
