Who could have guessed that this "tool" would serve fascism?

  • First they came for the "illegals" (i.e. anyone not born in this country or born to someone not born in this country) via database of green card and visa holders and other immigration databases and then disappear them
  • Next they come for SSDI and SSI recipients (not retirees) via the that database and they put these people on the DMF and then disappear them
  • Then they come for the protesters that are arrested or have been arrested at protests and then disappear them
  • Then they get health insurance companies to share their databases and come for people identify as a different gender than they were born with and disappear them

And now I have to stop because I'm making myself depressed even more.
