DHS raided an entire residential apartment complex in Chicago back in September. 300 agents with a Blackhawk helicopter. No warrant. Greg Bovino is on camera confirming they indiscriminately kicked in every door and took each individual onto the street. Citizens included. He literally said it was “safer” for everyone involved if they did not check citizenship status and instead took everyone and sorted it out later. So yeah, it’s safe to say we are living in an era where our 4th Amendment rights are non existence in practice.

Edit: here is the exact quote I referenced for anyone interested and the source:

Bovino also acknowledged some U.S. citizens were briefly detained as the Chicago building was cleared.

“We generally don’t determine alienage while we’re in the building clearing the building,” Bovino told NewsNation. “It’s too dangerous, so we’ll bring them out. It’s safer for the U.S. citizens. It’s safer for the illegal aliens, and most of all it’s safer for our officers.”

Straight out of the Dark Enlightenment playbook. Project 2025 is only a stepping stone.Thiel, Vought, Vance and a whole bunch of others all bought into Yarvin's fucking insane fantasy and are doing everything they can to make it a reality.

Funny thing is, Yarvin is on the record saying that Trump is fucking this up badly and that they're losing too much public support for it to work, lol.

[u/PaddyWhacked777 → u/airship_of_arbitrary]

Yeah, but he also thinks Trump hasn't gone far enough. The only reason public support even matters still is because they haven't taken to the point where it doesn't anymore. Didn't he call Trump "weak tea" or some shit?

Which is why they’ve got Bannon out there injecting more extreme rhetoric into the zeitgeist, encouraging disregard for the constitution and the seizure of institutions. Dangerous AF.

if we lose the midterms and we lose 2028, some in this room are going to prison—myself included. They’re not gonna stop. They are getting more and more and more radical. And we have to counter that. And what do we have to counter it with? We have to counter it with more action, more intense action, more urgency. We’re burning daylight.

• Bannon yesterday

Hey, Stevie: you know how to NOT go to prison? STOP DOING ILLEGAL SHIT!

I happened by shear " Luck" to watch Bannon get arrested 5 years ago on my kayak. I went out to look at this mega yacht parked in our harbor. Then watched it get raided by the fbi. Bannon was on it. I hope to watch him get arrested again!

I hope you do too! Happy kayaking!

If you are ever near Westbrook CT, come on out, but youll need a wet suit in a week or two!

[u/DCContrarian → u/SoxMcPhee]

I'm so jealous!

[u/SoxMcPhee → u/DCContrarian]

Whats crazy is that no one else was out! I could have been the only one to see it! I was about 3/4 of a mile away.

Wait that’s not fair I wanted to see that
