Since there are no rules and no due process 4 of 4 should be worried. If you think this isnt gonna escalate you are nuts.
@njm1314@lemmy.world 3 out of 4 US adults are nuts
Unless something happened it was always going to escalate. The question was ever only the cause and whether any side would meet that escalation with their own. I started asking something similar during Covid and was told people didn't want to risk someone spitting on them. I said it again after January 6th and people replied that they didn't want to be targets by some psycho. A year ago when this started to become clear I asked why we weren't out on the streets reminding the DNC what we need and I got the same answer then I've gotten in the past: I can't take off of work/I need to pay my bills.
So, my friends, is this enough yet?
Every ICE agent deserves death. We need to normalize this kind of language. I may not be the one to give it to them. But fundamentally, every single ICE agent deserves to hang for their crimes against the Republic. Every last one of them is guilty of treason. They all deserve literal execution.
Imagine what it's doing to their children. Republicans and religious people who have a hand in this or turn a blind eye are filth. There's no redemption for this.
TIL 3 out of 4 Americans need to get out more.
Every time I hear sirens, I feel scare af, thinking its the gestapo.
I'm a naturalized citizen btw, but I still don't feel safe (I'm not white).
I'm white AF, and my family has been here since the 1650s on one side, and 1720s on the other side. We literally funded a decent portion of the revolution. I'm still scared. They are coming for everyone that isn't them.
Hell, even birthright citizens aren't safe if they are perceived as non-white.
Don't worry, they won't arrive in uniforms with sirens. They'll arrive silently in masks.
Have a coworker with family in Iran. She just got her citizenship, but I have no idea how much that is even worth in the modern moment.
She's a close friend and it was be a personal nightmare to lose her to some ICE thugs.
They shipped out Kilmar Abrego Garcia for something a cop said in 2019 based on an unidentified informant and they make up new lies about him all the time. They're absolutely not above lying that someone falsified information on their naturalization papers.
Ogle and Mace sent an email asking to denaturalize primary winner of NYC. They'll try and if they succeed they'll do it to other people.
Most of them are in denial. Every time I bring it up to my friends they're all like "yeah, but they won't come after me."
You will need to keep that hand iced. Maybe splint at night. If the skin breaks, get an ACE wrap.
Sorry, that sounds like a possibly risky amount of slapping you've been up to lately, especially if you've been (like most of us) in a low or no-slap lifestyle up until now.
But fuck all if they could be bothered to vote…
Pew’s latest study suggests that Trump would have won even if they all voted.
Mostly because the majority of Americans seem to be OK with face eating leopards.
Harris won more votes than Obama. Didn't save her or the rest of the country.
Also, and this cannot fail to bare mentioning, Harris and Biden both campaigned on a policy of mass deportation. Dems are still bragging that they deported more people than Trump. Mass deportation is a bipartisan policy.
I have never seen a dem advertisement based on deportation.
To say “both sides” campaigned on a policy of mass deportation is a straight up lie. Mass deportation isn’t bi-partisan as you say… with zero proof no links and nothing to back up your bs… you offer no proof and are therefor a liar.
I have never seen a dem advertisement based on deportation.
Colin Allred made it the center of his Senate campaign against Ted Cruz.
To say “both sides” campaigned on a policy of mass deportation is a straight up lie.
Bragged about "the toughest border bill in decades" and promised to hire "thousands of new border guards".
Biden holds the record as vice president for deportations during an administration
I didn't realize that the Vice President was in charge of deportations.... Oh wait.
VP doesn't do shit.
Any Democrat? How about Kamala herself. Do you not remember Kamala's "do not come" speech?
Oh fuck right off.
Sorry, but I have to call you out on this. This "fuck right off" attitude is exactly why Democrats lose elections. You know how people call Democrats smug and out of touch? It's because of this right here.
People hate Democrats when they're smug assholes. Democrats do generally have better policy positions than Republicans. But many Democrats take this way too far, adopting a sports team attitude of their side being always right.
OP rightfully pointed out that Democrats are just as onboard with mass deportation as Republicans. Trump is currently using the mass ICE infrastructure that Biden helped build up to new heights. On immigration, both parties are extremely right wing. This is an absolute, indisputably true fact. But you then have the arrogance to tell someone pointing this out to "fuck right off."
This is why democrats lose elections. This is the smugness people hate. Many liberals view politics as a sports team and refuse to accept the failures of their own team. And on immigration, Democrats are only a tiny iota better than Republicans.
Quit being such a smug asshole. It only hurts your cause. (Assuming you're actually a Democrat and not just a Republican trying to make liberals look bad.)
1/4 is like 85 million people. some people are saying they aren't concerned since they're citizens but given what Trump has done, that can be stripped away at literally any moment
Meanwhile, I'm concerned about actual citizens being deported.
We can be concerned about anyone being deported
I have a some very close friends who are Venezuelan. They all claim they aren't worried because they are citizens, but I'm not so sure. The MAGA Nazis don't respect Birthright Citizenship, they certainly aren't going to respect naturalization.
Bottom line: If you were born somewhere else, they want you gone.
Hispanic people voting for Trump in 2024 will go down in history as the modern equivalent of the historical "Jews for Hitler" movement.
ICE has deported at least 70 US citizens (Source) The actual number could be wayyyy higher though
If that’s the bottom line, the fine print is that the elected American government wants you gone if you aren’t white. They don’t need to work on that layer yet.
Donald Trump could use the N-word on TV tomorrow and it would be accepted.
The videos all over the internet expose everything. I can't imagine what it looks like from a normal country on the outside.
Horrifying and you are all apparently just complaining about on social media ( yes there have been a few protests, big whoop)
I am involved with a youth organization with my kids. We’re a very diverse group and so several of my kids friends are very precarious right now. I know at least one who carries 5 forms of ID everywhere outside of his house.
Monsters are running this country,
I have a friend from the Philippines who is in school to be a nurse. When this started, she was scared this was going to affect students which did end up being true later.
I left because I knew they'd be coming for me sooner rather than later. I'm a trans immigrant. I honestly kinda regret my citizenship because it's keeping me chained to the reich even from abroad.
Anyone who thinks that protesting will stop this is an idiot. Hypothetically, if you wanted to stop this, either you put on a FULL ON general strike, not 200,000 people, but 20 million. Or you go and get your guns, and start driving the fuck over to your state capitol, or better yet, the WH.
My daycare closed for a day so they could get their passports "just in case". This shit is infuriating.
Were all immigrants.
And birthright citizenship is under attack too.
The legacy of anglosaxons and protestants
This is what it is to live in a Nazi country
Arm yourself
Expect that when they come for youu, you aren’t coming back.
