You're not allowed to use those special war powers to suppress normal democratic dissent. This is exactly fascism.

The House and Senate vote to reauthorize the war every year.

Have you called your Representative to express your opinions?

Have you voted for politicians who oppose the reauthorization?

There's a system in place to stop this, you're just not using it.

You're not allowed to cross the border illegally. This list of "journalists" is actually a list of people who were/are trying to help people enter the country illegally.

"Suppress normal democratic dissent" and "fascism" sounds like a conspiracy theory.

Human trafficking is quite illegal. I don't think anyone would have a problem with a database of possible human traffickers
