Remember folks. Fascism has never, ever been put down using words.
Arm yourselves. Help others arm themselves. Train with them and form networks.

As an European, I want Americans to fight against fascism, at the same time, it sounds like it would require civil war, and if that happens, then the sharks circling around US would use that opportunity to make some moves. This whole thing makes me uneasy. Y'all need to be smart about this.

Dont forget to buy lots of ammo. Guns dont do much without ammo.
Organization is far more important. If the real shit pops off there will be plenty of ammo and guns laying on the ground. Logistics, secure communication, and strong, decentralized organization is vastly more important, and also what is lacking. If there was a real resistance, that's what they would be doing right now.

They're not deleting it to say it doesn't exist, they're deleting it to prevent people from looking up their rights.
Can you explain the difference between? I don’t understand the point you’re trying to make.
A lot of people I've seen online are acting like this is them trying to erase it completely. If they wanted to they wouldn't just change a website. I'm not saying that they won't, just that this is more about the suppression of information and that people should probably look this kinda shit up before it's gone. Get yourself a copy of the constitution in one of those neat little books your teachers always had if need be.
All I'm saying is that people are acting like changing a website changes the laws of the US. And I think that we should all brush up on our rights before the resources online become unreliable. That way when they try and break the law you can say it loudly that what they are doing is illegal and call them out in front of everyone. The justice system has always been notorious for punishing those that don't know their rights. It's why they literally had to force cops to tell you your rights when they arrest you, which they are currently not doing. Protect yourself because nobody in the system will have your interests in mind.
Changing an official government website, while inconsequential as far as rights are concerned, signals something much more than just suppressing information.
It means they are actively taking steps to rewrite history. To change how people see the government. Because if the people in charge think so little to update the site, the people in charge have much more sinister plans than to just update the website.
The law exists only as much as it is enforced.
They are clearly saying they will not enforce habeas corpus.

It's the difference between actively telling people "you do not have this right!" and quietly twiddling your thumbs and shrugging as people look for the information.
Ironic, since the writ of Habeas corpus predates even the Magna Carta.
Habeas corpus goes back to around 1166, which for those keeping track, is only around 600 years before the founding of the USA…
The US was founded on ostensibly three major legal ideas.
Habeus Corpus.
Due Process.
The Magna Carta.
We don't seem to currently have any of the three.

I find it so strange how proud Americans are of their constitution, which was copied largely from British laws; who kinda shat on this part of their history…

The idea of habeas corpus was around long before 1166. We know other much older civilizations had courts and the right to a confront ones accusers.

From George Orwell's Animal Farm:
"My sight is failing," [Clover] said finally. "Even when I was young I could not have read what was written there. But it appears to me that that wall looks different. Are the Seven Commandments the same as they used to be, Benjamin?"
For once Benjamin consented to break his rule, and he read out to her what was written on the wall. There was nothing there now except a single Commandment. It ran:
ALL ANIMALS ARE EQUAL BUT SOME ANIMALS ARE MORE EQUAL THAN OTHERS
Damn that hits so close to home now.
wow almost as if the very obvious story about authoritarianism accurately described authoritarianism. who could have known?
They're making up the law as they need it. Trump is history. He's the ultimate loser. He's a convicted felon and an unregistered sex offender.

You people really need to use that 2nd amendment
The ones that cry the hardest about their second amendment are the ones that voted for this. The ones that want tyranny, because being tyrannical is OK so long as it's against those whiney losers you oppose.
The ones that want the second amendment are the ones that are so uintelligent and insecure that they need to buy a gun, or multiple guns.

My concern is that if we were to exercise our 2nd amendment rights to eliminate this totalitarian regime and then install a proper democratically-elected progressive administration, what’s to stop the Fox News types from riling up the MAGA masses into “taking back” the government and eliminating our new regime? Violence begets violence. There has to be a better way.

For all you youngn’s, even if parts of the US constitution is removed from the random government entity’s website—it’s still available in many MANY forms. So like. Don’t think this means anything other than making things about as hard to access as they were like 15 years ago (which is to say not that hard).
Just cause a government website doesn’t have some information does not mean that laws have or have not changed.
Please explain any reason why the parts that the regime in the US specifically detests and have stated multiple times are not true would be removed due to a "data issue".
Please explain how one can request a court apperance after being dissapeared by a paramilitary group with alegence to the regime that's better funded than the Russian millitary, when the library of Congress does not have a section on due process.
Please explain when the president declares that the country is being invaded and anyone he deems subversive is now labeled a terrorist enemy of the state, how one can request their rights when the parts of the Constitution no longer say that only Congress has the power to say the country is being invaded?
This is not just some random government site. This is the library of Congress. This is the first result of the word "Constitution" on every major internet search engine.
This is not a slippery slope, this is a drop into a camouflaged pitfall onto sharpened stakes covered in shit.
This was a test to see if we would notice, if we would care or be indifferent, if we would speak up.
I doubt there will be a formal explanation or investigation that will explain any of this to any degree out side of "opps, it was just a technical error" as if it could be an honest mistake to delete specific parts of a document which never has anything ever removed from it, only ever amended.
those people will always call everyone alarmists and doomsayers, until they can't because the last of their freedom laws have been quietly removed. The Nazi party in Germany didn't start roaring and revolting, it started as a fed up minority that kept screaming so loud until everyone believed they were the majority. Stand up, fight for your and your neighbours freedoms and dont give those rightwing populists even an inch

This isn't about making it harder to access your rights. It's signalling what rights you've lost. Who can advocate for your freedoms when the highest courts follow this new doctrine?

Trump is doing anything to keep everyone from talking about Epstein.
It's working fuck this news.
Other way around. They're using Epstein to distract everyone from everything they're doing.

America doesn't just have a constitution. It is created by the Constitution. They are deleting America and patriots are cheering it on.

Somebody needs to do it. The entire executive branch.
So where are the brave gun owning defenders of freedom and liberty I keep hearing so much about?
