“Starting in the summer of 1838, Cherokees were rounded up and forced from their homes in Georgia, Tennessee and other southeastern states to the tribe’s current capital in Tahlequah, Oklahoma, as part of the federal Indian Removal Act.

“Of the estimated 16,000 Cherokees forced to make the journey, commonly referred to as the Trail of Tears, an estimated 4,000 died due to exposure, starvation, and disease. “

This article is brilliantly researched, JIm. It clearly exposes DHS Nazi MIller's use of art to infuse white supremacist, misogynistic ideology into the psyche of US citizens. He really packs the most alarming visual tropes into the DHS logo's images, including the "criminal" immigrant, the 'handmaid' behind the covered wagon, the white trad-wife family of settler colonists sent to displace/replace the remaining native American tribes in the west. This whitewashed historical reference occurred around the time of the forced expulsion from their ancestral homeland in the Southern US of the '5 civilized tribes' in the most brutal ethnic cleansing operation in our history, known as 'The Trail of Tears'. As you note, it resulted in "the near erasure of an entire civilization and one of the most violent, racist actions ever taken by the American government." The settler colonialism being waged by the state of Israel on the Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza is another example of such ethnic cleansing via settler colonialism. And now, the Miller-tRUmp regime is reviving this brutal, indiscriminate ethnic cleansing operation against immigrants in our own country, today, even denying them due process.

One of the most horrifying aspects of this forced Nazification of the US is the complete acquiescence and complicity of the US Supreme Court, as this wholly unconstitutional, illegal and utterly immoral operation not only continues, but is about to massively expand. They have green-lighted concentration camps, like 'Alligator Auschwitz' in the Everglades and Republicans have allocated nearly $45 billion in their Big Brutal Bill to building more, to be run by the private prison industry (Geo, etc.) with likely plans to use those illegally detained as slave labor for corporations, as the Nazis did. This MUST be OPPOSED in the strongest terms, NOW, before corporations start jumping on the band wagon! Any corporation that participates in this must be boycotted and protested, en mass.

If anyone thinks this will stop with so-called "illegal immigrants" (undocumented workers), they are kidding themselves. They are already detaining US citizens, and the tangerine Mussolini has threatened to detain political opponents and strip them/us of birthright citizenship. The shredding of our US Constitution and Bill of Rights is nearly complete and the fascist Republicans just passed the equivalent of the Nazi Enabling Acts. Aside from a few bravely resisting institutions, WE are all we've got, now. Let's get into some Good Trouble today in honor of the late Congressman John Lewis. R.I.P. https://goodtroubleliveson.org/

And yet Noem’s portrait depicts her as a rootin’-tootin’, gun-slingin’, bronco-bustin’ cowgirl—far from a trad handmaid. The cognitive dissonance is epic.

My mom wrote me the other day to make sure I knew about the 'Trail of Tears' and Andrew Jackson's infractions, etc., Damn, if I didn't fall in love with that woman again for just doing a little research on her own!

Mind you, she lives in the thick of MAGA-sod out on Lawnguyland, so this is kind of a big deal to me and said he friends are burning flags and merch.

She still keeps her mouth shut, as not to ruffle feathers, but reports to me and always wants me to know she voted for the "nice lady" (not Jill Stein). I like these reports.

Good for your mom, Erin! Andrew Jackson's 'Indian Removal Act' and how it was implemented and enforced was horrific, indeed, it was one of the darkest chapters in American history. In this day and age of MAGA book banning, anti-DEI and anti-woke hateful ideology, I wonder how many Americans even know about Jackson's atrocities against native Americans? Especially, when the current President has said Jackson is his favorite president, displaying his portrait prominently in the Whitehouse. It is all so cringe and horrifying!

There he goes being sensitive about language. So they don't like the label of Nazis or fascists. How about vigilantes who are being deputized and funded by taxpayers to commit human rights violations in the USA through the Department of Homeland "Security"?

Most people don't agree that racism is a mental illness. They just want to call it a social construct. If racism isn't a mental illness, please tell me why almost every racist I've ever met appears to be mentally ill. The commonality I see among them is sociopathy.

The damage that one mentally defective human called Stephen Miller can do, if given power, is staggering. If ever any proof was needed that wars do not solve conflicts, this is it. A Civil War didn't stop it. World World II didn't stop it. All wars seem to do is end the violence for a certain period of time. Russell Means said to white people before he died: "Welcome to the Reservation." We are experiencing the mindset of the colonizers. Hitler might have been forced to commit suicide, but we are still living in the shadow of the world he tried to destroy in order to create one out of his own warped imagination. Nuclear weapons. Israel/Palestine. Musk and his obsession with Mars. That 20 MILLION people died because of Hitler's mental illness, and we're back in it with Trump and his band of miserable lunatics is so depressing. Our parents or grandparents already gave their lives to fight that BS! What did they get wounded or die for?

Truth, Nancy. Preach! "War what is it good for? Absolutely NOTHING!"

Who still does not know this? I fear not only for our democracy, but for our humanity.

All with the absolute impunity, granted to a corrupt felon, allowing his illegality and unconstitutionality, from the pillar of the good Christian moral authority of six.

Incinerated food, torture, fear, upcoming AI generated crimes not committed but accused, with the database of death, disappearance and destruction from the gracious Palantir and its owner.

We won’t cede. We will see this through. We will prevail but this novel time calls for an out of the box novel canary. Let them sing.

There certainly should be plenty of resources.

Isn’t this the time one calls in favors?

Yes, and to boycott any corporation that goes along with this fascist depravity!

We also need to consider withholding our federal taxes. Perhaps setting up escrow accounts in our state, because it is our states that will be forced to absorb the costs to provide basic, life-saving services cut by tRUmp and his MAGAt Republicans in Congress. And to prevent our tax dollars being used to fund fascist concentration camps, enslavement, torture and murder or our fellow Americans.

I’m horrified by these images and messages our government is putting out. I feel like we need to inform people on a large scale about how this messaging is designed to manipulate and psychologically impact us.

It’s like regime administration accounts have upped the stakes & are saying the most painful things they could possibly say. While committing the most horrific crimes. At first I thought it was to get us to fight bc trump is in a corner but now I think it’s just what they were planning all along. Killing the empathy. We can’t let them.

As always…..thanks for explaining the nightmares we are all facing. 🙏

Yes, and the '88s', too, like the two 88-foot flag poles dRUmpf had erected in front of the WHITEhouse. These Nazi memetics are pervasive with these creeps and their cult followers surely get it. It is all so disgustingly sick, shameful and sad.
