I know america is fascist now and that should be common knowledge at this point, but this guy literally got disappeared into the ~~mega prison~~ concentration camp in el Salvador because he wanted to show support for his autistic brother.

No trial, no reason given.

I seriously do not have the words for how sick this makes me feel.

state is a system that meant to be exploitative and discriminative, therefore you can tell its a successful state

Are they deporting him to Autistan, because they don't know what autism means and nobody bothered to look it up?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 days ago

You're naive if you don't think his support of what the regressives consider the 'mentally unfit' didn't become a reason to force his stay

Don't underestimate how much the world enjoys being ugly to us

the title seems like click bait. It doesn't says anywhere in the news article that autism tattoo was the reason for detention. He had 2 other tattoos which could be whatever and people who detained him would have thought of those other tattoos, not necessary of the one related to autism. Which of course doesn't excuse any deportations or police terror. Just article title is misleading.

I could have fucking sworn I blocked that instance...

edit: Yup I did, guess that doesn't mean anything when it comes to user blocks.

Have your block asshole, stop carrying water for fascists

I don't understand what exactly is causing your anger, I thought my point is quite clear
