On January 7 in Minneapolis, Trump’s ICE Gestapo killed Renee Nicole Good, an unarmed legal observer, by shooting her in the head multiple times. Then ICE and DHS claimed “self-defense” with their lies that her vehicle ran over ICE agents. Footage from multiple angles at the scene clearly show the vehicle going around agents and trying to drive away. The ICE agent who shot Renee Good point blank through her front windshield hopped out of the path of the car and walked away.
From Venezuela to the streets of Minneapolis, the Trump regime murders and demonizes whole peoples and countries without any pretense of the rule of law. This is open brutal terrorism to enforce a fascist regime of white supremacy, xenophobia, and patriarchy.
Fascism is not a looming threat. It is upon us now.
“Fascism” is not a curse word. Fully imposed, it is a radically oppressive and repressive form of rule over the people of this country, with devastating impact on the people of the world.
The last five days, which have seen the Trump regime illegally bomb Venezuela, kidnap its president, threaten the sovereignty of more countries, celebrate the January 6 insurrection, and now murder a civilian in the streets, have brought this home in blood and should dispel any complacency.
SHREDDING ANY RULE OF U.S. OR INTERNATIONAL LAW, and getting away with it over and over, is paving the way for horrors that surpass those of the Nazi regime. This is the fascist logic of this regime laid bare: rule by decree, contempt for law, and the open assertion that brute force—“maximum lethality over tepid legality,” in Pete Hegseth’s words—is all that matters.
This regime will not be bound by any laws or measures of decency that stop them from carrying out their aims: the genocidal ethnic cleansing of non-white immigrants, rounded up and sent to concentration camps by lawless masked men; unleashing war and terror abroad, while moving aggressively to crush dissent at home; branding anti-fascist protesters and political opponents as “domestic terrorists,” laying the groundwork for mass repression—and when ICE unleashes their murderous violence, blaming the protesters who are righteously standing up for their immigrant neighbors!
If what has happened over the last five days has not stirred you to action, then what will? That which you do not resist and mobilize to stop, you will learn or be forced to accept – with all that means for your morality and humanity, and our collective future.
This is fascism. It cannot be lived with. It must be stopped now. Nothing but massive nonviolent struggle by you, and millions of others like you, can do that.
Take to the streets everywhere…
ICE Must Go!
The Whole Trump Fascist Regime Must Go Now!
In the Name of Humanity, We Refuse to Accept a Fascist America!
