    DHS?

    It’s time to dismantle the USA.

    Its at this point a failed state and it should just fall apart in 50 independent countries. About half of them (I’ll leave it as as exercise to the reader to figure out which ones) will turn into Canada type counties with healthcare

    The other will turn into 3rd world banana republics that won’t be able to feed their own population while having constant coup’detats going on. After a few decades the world will intervene and install normal functioning democracies in those countries after outlawing religion there.

    A woman can dream

    Abolish ice, abolish palintir, abolish space x and demilitarize the police. Police should have a bachelor’s degree at minimum.

      Nationalise SpaceX or force it’s sale. Musk aside, it’s holding up American dominance of the space industry.

          Rocket bros are calling NASA “legacy Space” when they haven’t accomplished shit compared to them.

        No fuck SpaceX. And space Force is already nationalized but fuck them too. They all need to be shredded.

        We don’t we need to dominate anything. That’s chud think. We need to cooperate in space.

    This rally cry (to dismantle DHS) sounds exactly like the kind of popular policy position the Democrats always take when they are out of power. Then, when we give them the power to act, they refuse to implement it (usually in service of some nonsense like “mending”, “coalition building”, or “returning to normalcy”).

      Yep, so if voting is still on the menu, we need to vote out the incumbent establishment dems who refuse to remediate these state terror programs.

      Schumer and Jeffries won’t even support defunding ICE. Primary these dipshits while you still can New York!

        Installing new politicians in the DNC will change nothing until those Junior members are confirmed to not be a threat to the current power structure they’re not given any power that would threaten that power structure

        Bro, you can’t vote your way out of fascism. This is tyranny these are not normal times anymore normal things do not always apply for circumstances the courts the laws they’re not gonna save us. The sooner people realize that the sooner we can collectively do something.

      Because, let’s face it, democrat and republican are two faces of the same coin.

        It’s the same model across the western world. Two party systems dominate because it’s the easiest model for the oligarchs to control us with.

      Wealthy Democratic Party donors/leaders need the military in the streets putting down populist uprisings as much as Republican ones do. Often they are the same people.

    Democrats will never dismantle an organization that they gain so much from. Prior to this year, the largest increases in federal funding to ice and the department of Homeland security have come from Democrats. Who else is going to do the record number of deportations for Democrats if it wasn’t for ice and Homeland security? And I’m sure I don’t need to remind anyone that the one currently running things for Trump was running things for Obama.

        Shouldn’t it be primary season for the mid terms now? Are there any left, or at least progressive, candidates running anywhere?

          It’s going to start any minute, at least in terms of ads and stunts and attention-seeking social media things. But as we get closer to mid-year we’ll see a lot more chaos and carnival stunts, culminating in November when it will be full on “raw dogging a warp jump with no navigator” level of chaos and bullshit to wade through every day.

          I don’t know who’s running, but I know how i’m voting. With a few exceptions, all incumbents must go. Every last rotten piece of ancient, withering meat who hasn’t made any attempt at reform or pushback is out on my ballot, and this should be our goddamn ANTHEM.

        Kristi Noem’s DHS is what we were warned we would get eventually. They were right.

        The people screaming at Democrats for 20 years for not trying to roll all that police state Bush era shit back WERE RIGHT!

    It’s a war-time consolidation of power that has been irredeemably infiltrated & turned against the country’s own residents. It can easily be dismantled l, with power distributed to competing agencies keeping each other in check, like it was for 200 years.

      That might be a little like “not using the fire extinguisher until the fire has spread into the living room.”

      Too little, too late. Trump is talking about suspendeding the midterms. Might be time to show some guns.
