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
5 out of 4 are nuts
And 11/10 are bad at math.
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.
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 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.
Don't worry, they won't arrive in uniforms with sirens. They'll arrive silently in masks.
Hell, even birthright citizens aren't safe if they are perceived as non-white.
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
they aren't concerned because they are psychoticly evil and utterly selfish cunts.
if you send those to CECOT the US will be actually a great place to be
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.
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,
TIL 3 out of 4 Americans need to get out more.
I mean 2 out of 4 believe the other 2 should be deported. 1 of those 2 don’t know that someone is trying to deport them. That’s the current state of America and how Trump got elected.
yeah but all 3 just don't realize someone they know will get deported. first they came for the socialists, and all that.
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.
Nearly everyone close to me voted for Trump. I fucking hope they get deported.
My daycare closed for a day so they could get their passports "just in case". This shit is infuriating.
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.
How the fuck only 1 in 4? Youre living in a straight up fascist dictatorship. Anyone can be deported at any time for any arbitrary reason. How is not every single person scared as fuck?
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."
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.
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.
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)
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.
America is NOT a progressive country.
In general, the people ARE actually pretty progressive (as evidenced byprogressive policies tending to be favored by overwhelming majorities when not attached to the name of someone the establishment has spent millions if not billions vilifying).
The main problem is that the political system has fallen so deep into corruption that it's a representative democracy in name only.
It's way past time for rebellion against not just the fascists, but also the system itself and the Democrats who consider it more important than the general welfare of the people.
Were all immigrants.
And birthright citizenship is under attack too.
A cousin and a friend. Yeah, it crosses my mind.
