The justices said no action should be taken to pursue the deportations of any alleged Venezuelan gang members in Texas under the rarely used wartime law.

Then the parties involved will be charged with contempt of court. Courts are slow. There are many steps to this process. If you want this done quickly, convince the loyalist Republicans in Congress to vote against his executive order. Defeatism is actionless criticism.

They had 4 fucking years to do something.

Look where that got us...

I'm not American, but as a Canadian even I have my pitchfork and cocktail ready.

You don’t understand the urgency behind active checks and balances to maintain a government’s function and a criminal prosecution case of a former president.

This can’t be swept under the rug or pushed out on a calendar like the former.

Clearly you don't understand that violence is needed here.

I'm not saying it should be swept under the rug. I'm saying it's time to take to the streets and SHOW what you want.

The only language they'll listen to now is violonce.

Trump has already said he's not returning the wrongly deported person. Why would he suddenly start listening to the courts?

EDIT: also fuck you for letting people die in foreign labour camps while your "wheels of justice turn". People will are being kidnapped now. They're gonna die too unless we do something NOW.

Be my guest. I’m non-violent, and our system has yet to fail. That doesn’t mean it can’t, but I’m not accepting defeat until then.

He said that, and now his administration is facing a contempt of court hearing on the 23rd. The presiding judge preemptively stated that he will appoint an attorney to enforce his order if the DoJ refuses to do so.

Trump bluffs. He’s a bullshitter. Harvard called him on it and now he’s saying the letter was sent in error. He can’t talk his way out of this.

our system has yet to fail.

It's already failed.

[-] disguy_ovahea@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Cool, then you go ahead and storm the Capitol. I have faith in the courts.

[-] DoPeopleLookHere@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 months ago

And how many more people will be shipped off while the courts "work"?

[-] disguy_ovahea@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

To El Salvador? Zero, according to this final appeal attempt. They’re still deporting people to other nations.

Had people not abandoned Democrats at the polls in November, Congress could’ve already stopped this. Their action is much faster than the judiciary.

[-] DoPeopleLookHere@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 months ago

And how many shipped off to internally prisons.

This is why the rest of the western world is working to leave the US behind. Because ACTUAL harm is being done and your still going "we need more time".

You don't have more time. The rest of the world is screaming this at you, and you still don't get it.

No one outside of the US cares about who voted for who. We can't. We just fucking can't because at the end of the day your elected president is threating the sovereignty of all other Western aligned countries. We don't have that luxury anymore. Stop pretending you do.

I’m not telling anyone how to react. I said I am non-violent and have faith in the courts. I will continue protesting, messaging and calling my congresspeople. You do you.

[-] DoPeopleLookHere@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Good for you. It's not enough.

Do you want a cookie?

Because my country so going to be invaded otherwise.

[-] disguy_ovahea@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Not if it comes with a side of condescension. Why are you so worried about my actions? Aren’t you a capable person?

[-] DoPeopleLookHere@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 months ago

I've been pretty clear as to why.

Your inaction is not only getting other people hurt, my country is going to be invaded.

I am capable. And I'm ready to fucking fight you if I have to.

[-] disguy_ovahea@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Good for you. I’m disabled, so that’s not a choice I get to make for myself. I have to rely on the system that I’ve heavily invested my time and money into for the last 25 years.

[-] DoPeopleLookHere@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Why not help make a system that actually just you know, takes care of you? Instead of being lucky and privileged enough to have savings....

When I say you, I mean more than you specifically. Because we're all tired of having this conversation with Americans.

The whole, it's not all of us, someone if us are doing a little.

We don't care. We don't get the luxury of differentiating the two when threats of sovereignty are at stake.

The system broke when it failed to prosecute trump. It's already broken. We no longer have faith in your system, regardless of how much you do. It needs to be toppled and try again.

[-] disguy_ovahea@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Go ahead. I’m not stopping you. I’m not even criticizing you for a difference of opinion, even though you seem very insistent on trying to change mine.

[-] DoPeopleLookHere@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 months ago

Because believe it or not, MY life on the line here too bud..

[-] disguy_ovahea@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

And that information should change my ability to fight in what way? God you’re an arrogant one.
