Seeing this post on X is the first time I truly felt like fascism is here. NOW. It has me feeling sick. Trump’s militarized secret police force have been seen all over the country for months, but this time it just feels different.

First I saw a photo of ICE in LA yesterday that looked like it was taken during a war, not while picking up grandmothers who’ve lived in the country for decades. I actually thought it was a tank at first.

Ice agents no longer take a spanish language course as part of their training.

Here it is. Does anyone else feel extra freaked out by this?

Read my post Life in Trump’s America. It’s the story of an activist living in “post-democracy America” ruled by an authoritarian leader under martial law.
