Yup, boarder towns in red states are going to start stopping women as they travel through their towns to make sure they aren’t pregnant.
How do you say freedom in fascist American?
I think they say “privilege”.
Nah, they won’t admit to privilege.
You fire a high-powered rifle into the air.

*Into a school.
It’s weird isn’t it how everyone that’s “pro-life” is also “pro-gun” and “anti self-determination”. It’s almost as if their priorities are completely skewed.
You can have all the freedom™ you want as long as you only do what I would do with all the freedom that I want.
Or you can have all the freedom you want as long as I get an ever increasing cut.
*except when I have to go outside of the limit of freedom because a special case but it’s me so it’s ok.
Freedom™ was a great book though. (sequel to Daemon)
Its almost as if its a naked show of power and threats with no larger concepts or thought behind it.

Lol just remember that all people that vote Republican support this.

Of course. Anything else would be Big Government Overreach.
most republican voters don’t even know what tf they’re supporting through their votes, other than their personal trigger issue. they just vote for the R.
That’s no excuse.

Well, it does not sound good no matter how you put it.
That’s not even close to a valid excuse.
It’s not, you’re right, but it’s how it is for them.

You are so depressingly right. My father is very pro-choice, but once Trump happened, he stopped giving a shit about anything other than getting Trump back in office and/or making sure no Democrats are elected ever again. He has no idea what is actually going on other than what fox and Newsmax tell him, and he doesn’t care.
He’s the only family I have, and to see him like this now has just destroyed a part of me.
Me too. I love my father, he is an amazing dad and always helped me when I needed anything, anything at all.
But the last few years every single conversation ends up in politics. He just talks about how Trump is the most amazing thing that ever happened to the states, and that he waits for him to get back into the office once again because he was the best president ever.
If I tried to object he would yell at me for being wrong, so nowadays I just silently stare at him until the subject changes.
I lost my mother. She was always an idiot when it came to politics, but my step-father was progressive and toned her down a lot. He died and she married a reactionary and now she’s a die-hard Trumper alternative-facts maniac. I hardly talk to her any more - I hope it was worth it for her.
Sad to say, but that’s exactly how fascism succeeds. Ordinary Germans didn’t necessarily know or care what the Nazis were doing, but they were creating jobs and igniting patriotic passion in society, and that was all many cared to know.
That’s why regular people were forced to walk through liberated camps to witness what their tacit support had wrought, and why the allies recorded it so we could witness it now. Because fascism doesn’t succeed chiefly by the actions of fascists, but through the inaction of the barely engaged masses.

Remember
kidsadults dangerously close to popping out unwanted kids, Don’t talk to the policeYou ain’t gotta tell them where you’re going, what you’re doing, or why you’re there. You get pulled over, hand them what they ask for and keep your mouth shut
It is crazy that you need to think like a criminal or a corporate espionage target, but…
Consider backing your phone up and then wiping it. Some business folks do this to avoid having sensitive information on devices they must hand over to the TSA. https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/blog/how-can-i-wipe-and-restore-tablets-and-phones-for-travel/
And ffs, leave it at home or put it in a faraday bag (<$20 on Amazon), because phones track where you go, and the government will absolutely use that against you.

This.
Don’t be friendly. You didn’t just come from a friend’s house. Because for all you know, the cops may have been staking out his house, and if there’s actually any illegal activity going on there, you just implicated yourself as being a part of it or at the very least a customer, whether or not you were actually there to engage in illegal activity or actually just visiting a friend.
Whatever that smell is, you don’t smell anything. I don’t care if it’s a funky air freshener or you’re carrying a truckload of weed. You didn’t smell anything and you’ve never so much as smoked a joint in your life. Saying “The last time I smoked was…” is admittance that you use controlled substances and in some cases could give the cop reason to believe that you’re still under the influence.
No, you don’t know exactly how fast you were going because you’re paying attention to the road, not the speedometer. You were just going with the flow of traffic.
I don’t care if you were supposed to be there half an hour ago. You’re not late for anything. Asking the cop to hurry or whatever because you’re late is just going to get him to intentionally take longer either just to make your life miserable or in hopes that you’ll become frustrated and start saying things you wouldn’t normally say so he can get more info out of you.
And I fucking hate Hate HATE the “ask if you’re being detained. Ask if you’re free to go” advice. All this does is antagonize the cop. All it does is make them believe that you’re nervous about something, and they’re going to want to know why. And if you start off the conversation being adversarial like that, the cop is much more likely to try to make your life as miserable as possible. Watch an episode of COPS. When most people try this line of defense, they often do so in the most unnatural way possible, acting as if they’re still in the process of memorizing a script. It just gives off the impression that you have something to hide. The only time you should ask “am I free to go” is after the cop already gave you your documents back and you’re just clarifying whether or not he’s done yet. The only time you should say things like this are when they are a direct response to a cop’s question or actions where that kind of response would be appropriate. But randomly blurting out “Am I free to go? Am I being detained? I do not consent to this!” or other lines at random just pisses the cop off and gives them the idea that you’ve got something to hide. So what do you say instead of that? FUCKING NOTHING.
If it’s truly just a routine traffic stop, give them the documents, say nothing, take the citation or whatever, and be on your way. Take the rest of it up with the judge. The only time you should be saying anything at all, is if it’s absolutely necessary and if it looks like it’s going to go beyond just a routine stop.
I’ve seen too many people either try to be overly friendly, believing that if they’re forthcoming the cop will work with them, or just argumentative and turning what would have been a routine citation into an arrest because they either admitted to actual crimes they committed in the process or got a little too argumentative with the cop and ending up in cuffs and facing an obstruction charge.
Don’t talk to the police

The “hand them what they ask for” is important in Texas. It used to be legal to refuse to present ID unless you were being detained. As of the 1st, that’s now a crime.
deleted by creator
This applies if you’re driving and get pulled over. You’re not required to show an ID in other situations. If you’re arrested, you must give your name, residence, and date of birth. If you’re detained, you are not required to give information, but you can’t give false information.

Woah seriously?
The “papers please” phrase has been a hyperbolic meme as the prime example of fascism, and Texas just put that into law?!
How is this not a fourth amendment violation?
Multiple states now have a mandatory ID law where if police stop you you must provide identification (technically the police need to have a reasonable suspicion you may have committed a crime, but that’s a super low bar to pass). You don’t necessarily have to have an ID on you, but you do have to provide your name, address, and maybe DOB depending on the state. Of course in the case of a traffic stop you obviously need a driver’s license.
To quote supreme court Justice alito “there is no 4th in regards to drugs”. So yeah just claim it is to stop drug trafficking and then fir what ever else you want.
“I decline to answer any questions without an attorney present.”
“I do not consent to any search.”
Tattoo those sentences on the inside of your eyelids.
These Republicans are just disgusting people.
So what are you in jail for?
- driving while pregnant.
Sadistic freaks.
It’s really easy, you cut all federal funds to those cities and if the state subverts it you cut all the stage funding. When they have no federal road dollars, education dollars, social security checks, and on and on the let them cry in their dystopian hell as everything g coapses around them. Red states exist bc of federal welfare.
Granted there’s never been a modern dem in power with the balls to stand behind anything ever and not give in to nazi Republica challenges. But it could work if it weren’t for that.

The last civil war was predicated by slave states sending squads north to round up any black people they find.
The next one might start because of states hunting down pregnant women outside their borders.
So you’re telling me, you and all your pregnant friends, all six of them are on your way to the last Blockbuster on earth?
…uhm… yes?
well, that checks out. Always wanted to go, myself.
