What DHS posted yesterday isn’t subtle.

It’s the language of dehumanization—the dry bureaucratic voice of an agency telling millions of our neighbors, coworkers, and classmates that they don’t belong at the table of this country.

Authoritarian regimes always start by dividing the “real people” from the “others.” Once you name human beings as “invaders,” everything that follows—raids, disappearances, camps, mass expulsions—becomes easier for them to justify.

And this is exactly why we engage in sustained, disciplined, nonviolent resistance.

Because stopping fascism isn’t a switch that flips; it’s a drumbeat that grows louder unless people stand up every day to say: Not in our name. Not in our country. Not to our neighbors.

We don’t counter this with silence.

We counter it with organized people, visible presence, public pressure, cultural defiance, moral clarity, and actions that refuse to let cruelty become normal.

This post from a government agency is a warning. It’s also a rallying cry.

The table is big enough for all of us—except fascism.
