TODAY! Jan 27, Seattle VA Medical Center

On January 7, an ICE agent murdered Renee Good in cold blood for daring to stand up for her immigrant neighbors. On January 24, CBP agents beat Alex Pretti to the ground and executed him. These are Trump’s Gestapo thugs—unleashed in Minneapolis on a campaign of terror and vengeance. The regime has responded not with accountability, but with lies, justifying murder through the twisted logic that anyone who resists deserves to be shot down.

This is fascism, a different form of brutal rule to enforce white supremacist, patriarchal, and xenophobic oppression and violence. As long as this regime remains in power, this terror will not only continue—it will accelerate. The events of this month—from illegally bombing Venezuela and kidnapping the leader of a sovereign nation to murdering civilians in the streets—have brought this home in blood and should dispel any complacency.

This regime will not be bound by any law or measure of decency that stops them from advancing their aims. They have:

begun genocidal ethnic cleansing of non-white immigrants, rounded up and sent to concentration camps by lawless masked men;

unleashed war and terror abroad while moving aggressively to crush dissent at home;

branded anti-fascist protesters and political opponents as “domestic terrorists,” laying the groundwork for mass repression.

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. There is no living with this.

The protests in Minneapolis and across this country have been righteous and inspiring. They must continue-and they must grow. And we must join our righteous fury in the streets with the only demand that truly measures up to the threat this regime poses to all of humanity: #trumpmustgonow Refuse Fascism
