Olivia- You, and the people doing this NO FEAR TOUR are an example of living the purpose you took birth for. I love you all and feel you feeling and expressing truth. May you be free, safe and continue to be YOU! A beautiful light shining the path on how to move through fear rather than collapsing into fear.
Well said! As the innocent are arrested, the felon in thief becomes more deranged and uses more power. Roberts handed the arsonist trump a box of matches and a can of gasoline and said, be careful... Fools. Disappearing progression: innocent people who are legally in US (I am sure that will help the travel and tourism industry), then US citizens disappear, followed by the rule of law, democracy and the Constitution. China will look like a beacon of hope by the time trump and his fascist freaks are done destroying America. The guardrails are gone except for impeachment which will never happen as long as republican cowards and fascists occupy and soil the halls of congress. Things will get much worse before they get better. Kidnapping and caging children as trump did during his first term will be considered quaint by the trump sanewashing, deluded, demented, corporate media.
Of all the scary things about this administration, this, to me, is the scariest. It was becoming apparent that this was where it would all lead once they began deporting people without due process. Thank you for sounding the alarm!
Thank you for taking the time to read it. Frankly--as a former longtime intelligence officer, I never thought I would be writing an article like this about my own country...
Thanks, this is really well-written. The possibility of this administration trying to ‘disappear’ residents of this country (even American citizens) has been my biggest fear. I really admired your courageous speech at the DNC Convention last year; thank you for continuing to speak out so intelligently and eloquently.
Olivia, thank you so much for this well-written piece. Timothy Snyder says the same: “Listen for dangerous words. Be alert to the use of the words extremism and terrorism. Be alive to the fatal notions of emergency and exception. Be angry about the treacherous use of patriotic vocabulary.”
Olivia, I don't participate in any other social media platforms but this one. I will restack you to reach the growing Substack audience. The endless toxicity of TwitterX, FaceBook (that I am ashamed to admit I caved and made an account for and then clawed my way back out), or any of the newer ones such as Threads and BlueSky. Even YT, and their censorship, has lost my input. I'm thrilled you have joined the NO FEAR TOUR. Yours is a voice that must be amplified. You are the genuine article. We are all in the fight whether we like it or not, so there is no going back. Only forward.
This feel like an American precursor to THE HOLOCAUST. It's like it's beginning here. Similar people to Nazis. (Hell, self proclaimed Nazis!) Similar minded leaders and followers! Could crowds have stopped Hitler? Can crowds stop Trump and "his people" (MAGA +)? I'll protest as long as I'm able. But I'm deeply frightened of what is happening in and to the USA right now.
Olivia, much respect. Well written & a scary predicament we all find ourselves in at this moment in time. I feel for Mr. Garcia and at least the 75% of the approximai300 men that were unjustly "disappeared.". There is sooo much illegal shit happening that it's hard to follow but that is by design I'm sure. Keep up the good work😊✌️
Can somebody find out how these Ice Agents are paid .. they are public servants we should know how they get paid and how much .. almost feels like they have bounties or quotas … how do we find out who they have kidnapped … we need to offer to these abductions as kidnappings .. I’m not a paid subscriber but wanted to put this out there ..
People going to these town halls bring g tazed need to file lawsuits against the police officers personally directing them for speaking out .. and that congresswoman too who said that is what she’s going to do ..
I just read your piece. It’s realistic and profoundly scary.
Trump couldn’t be more transparent in the message out of the Oval Office yesterday with El Salvador President and ALL the buffoons surrounding them.
Chaos is an understatement…
I wholeheartedly ask you to exercise caution with the others in the panel at the Town Hall… as much as THE PEOPLE more than ever need reassurance, the will to fight back against this regime, these are very dangerous times to tell the truth(JA knows best)… this administration is watching and listening…
The only reason he’s selected El Salvador is just for what happened yesterday in the Oval Office: Nobody has any control over El Salvador and its dictator. And he thumbed his nose at the U.S. because he knows that. Why use Guantanamo when it’s easer and “cleaner” to farm out incarceration to someone else?

Exactly well said 💯💯💯💪💪

Thank you for connecting the dots. As someone who had “been in the room”, your insight helps us know what comes next.

Well written! Excellent! I never thought I would read an article like this in my lifetime here in America. Land of the free?

Kilmar is not an exception or administrative mistake; he is a dry run! It is intent! Trump and his minions must be deposed. THEY are themonsters.
Please start demanding proof of life for the people sent to El Salvador

I very much enjoyed the show yesterday with JA…
I listened carefully and I agree with you both.

All this has me thinking of the lyrics from a Rolling Stones song from many years ago, *especially* the last two lines I've cited here...
"Hear the screams of Center 42
Loud enough to bust your brains out
The opposition's tongue is cut in two
Keep off the street
'cause you're in danger
One hundred thousand disparus
Lost in the jails in South America"
