They sure do go after people who are legally here by simply revoking their legal status a lot. I guess legal immigrations were ALSO who they wanted to deport.

They're already "looking into" how to legally "deport" US citizens, they want everyone who doesn't fit their definition of an ideal white, Christian, facist into a concentration camp or out of the country.

They need to shore those numbers up — can’t lag behind Biden’s daily deportation count and look weak. Just get a large-sounding number to wave around and say “look, we’re doing what we promised!”

Fucking at least wait until the semester is over you assholes, Christ.

It sounds like this isn't something that just happened but has been happening in a vacuum without the universities being notified, and they're discovering it manually.

This to me appears as though they're trying to create a pipeline to create scary optics (of scary things) of 'rounding up and deporting protestors from college campuses'.

This is heartbreaking. I hope all here on visas are able to finish their semester and find a clean way to GTFO. But honestly your life and safety have no price. It is worth every penny to find a way out of here ASAP.

Can't speak for all, but I know Duke is offering deported students the ability to finish out remotely.

It takes brains and money for foreign kids to be accepted at American universities, so these are future movers-and-shakers in their home countries. When they return, they'll spend the rest of their lives justifiably badmouthing the U S of A, warning others to stay away. Like so much of what Trump is doing, the repercussions will live on, long after he's gone.

Excellent link round-up, by the way.

Speaking of which, i need to make a trip to the grocery store. Do they still make coke bottles out of glass? Those were awesome. Probably need to get some tape and styrofoam for shipping some stuff. Probably should get a new gas container for my lawnmower.

Do they make any sort of match that works great outdoors? The ones I have always seems to snuff out before they light my fire pit.

I find it's that they made a transition to all those mini matches. Matches used to be larger as a rule.

They will deport US citizens too if you don't fall in line.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 days ago

...or stop them by force. Those are the only two options for Americans, now: fall in line with fascism or stop them by force.
