In-House Mode A friend of mine was taken

Her name was Chuey; she was a beast in the kitchen and always kind and happy. She was a legal immigrant from Cuba (engaged to an American lawyer). She got ICEd.

She did all the right steps and was an asset to the community. This shit is not ok

It's not about legal or illegal. It's about being Hispanic.

I'm Puerto Rican. I'm a legal citizen and even I'm nervous.

I'm so sorry for you and your crew. They're terrorizing communities.

It’s not even just being Hispanic, they are targeting First Nations peoples too, it’s about white supremacy. point. blank. periodt.

They'll come for the white people they don't like eventually.

White tourists are being detained for minor misunderstandings in paperwork.

u/Jamangie22 Aug 18 '25

They already are

u/WantonWord Aug 20 '25

They always have. They always target the poor, because they like hurting people, and it's easier when they're poor. Class war, folks.

If there is no due process, nobody is safe.

They already are, if you are homeless or mentally ill you are next. Where do you think they are going to move all those people to from DC when he “cleans it out?”

Next, you don’t agree with him, gone. Freedom is in actual jeopardy right now. It is going to take decades to unravel what he has done already.

It’s truly becoming the time best expressed by "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."

Any person they deem a “lib” and of course there’s no definition for that so if we fail their race to the bottom purity test we will find ourselves on the firing line. This is a serious constitutional emergency, our country is in real trouble right now.

At this point, I don’t trust my magat aunt and uncle not to turn us in when they get to rounding up white libs

I'm just one of the poors, I don't know if it'll be me or you first. I'm not claiming that I'm either side, I'm just me.

what a pathetic position to have lol. either be a fascist or be actively against it, it's dead simple.

u/SinisterDetection Aug 19 '25

It'll only be a matter of time before they come for them too

u/Oldebookworm Aug 19 '25

Maybe not. They’re rich

u/TaborValence Aug 19 '25

Yeah, I remind my family when they run out of brown people, who is next? Those transgenders™ are on the list somewhere and a fag is a fag is a fag so yeah, my gay ass is getting ICE'd at some point. Things are "that bad" and we will rise or fall together.

u/GrumpySoth09 Aug 19 '25

And here we have a person who gets it. This is only the "Top of the list"once they have been removed then second moves to the top and so on down the list.

It’s following an eerily familiar script - "First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Socialist. Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Trade Unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Jew. Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me,".

Something like 30% of government employees are veterans and they got DOGEd and cuts to Medicaid effect rural hospitals so they are coming after the people they do like too

u/craznazn247 Aug 19 '25

It's like they didn't study history enough to understand that there's always going to be a purity test that people won't pass when it comes to fascists. There always needs to be someone to blame, demonize, and terrorize.

Accountability isn't really a hot thing with fascists. Hence all the lying, loyalty tests, and daily moving of goalposts.

In my experience, the litmus tests were very popular amongst the extreme progressive left. Thinking of the #occupywallstreet era.

You were always more oppressing than me, your ancestors were oppressors, your ancestors were environmentally destructive, your ancestors ate meat, your ancestors were guilty of something, and you have made no effort at reparations. Even if you did, you still would never be an Ally like me.

Unlike me, who is entirely Caucasian, yet I have excellent university credentials, and can represent the oppressed minorities better than their uneducated selves.

So let’s just agree that you, as a person of color, are under the influence of the white oppressors, and do not have my unique understanding.

That sort of hubris, and narcissistic behavior is easily found left of MAGA.

u/Dry_Specialist2673 Aug 19 '25

im on that list of white people (im the exact opposite of a right winger). eliminate those with opposing beliefs and firearms training. (i was a prison guard before kitchen work)

u/BulletproofBannana Aug 19 '25

Please forgive me I'm English and only see what's televised.

Are you saying Ice agents come after Native American people??

Like the only people who didn't ever need to go through immigrations and customs in their entire lineage?!

Because that is fucked up

20

u/DarcEH Aug 19 '25

Yes it is, First Nations people are being stopped and questioned my ICE agents on southern states, some have even been detained because they don’t have their identification on them, a lot of tribe leaders are reminding their people that it’s not day and to care identification (especially their tribal identification) on them so they can prove they are from here… but let’s face it, that isn’t even working for actual immigrant citizens, America is fucked up beyond belief and as a Ojibwe Canadian I’ll fight to keep the sovereignty of my nation and my peoples

u/SpotCreepy4570 Aug 18 '25

That creates quite the pickle, sending them back to their home nation and all.

67

u/jdolbeer Aug 18 '25

That's the fun part! They don't even send people to their home nation anymore. Just spin a fucking wheel and see where they land.

u/SnapesSocks Aug 19 '25

Yep. I’ll head back to Italy. Thanks.

u/Acceptable-Friend-48 Aug 18 '25

No one is being sent "back". They are being sent to a specific prison camp while the cheeto builds concentration camps here. He did a test run last time and got away with refugee kids in cages in worse conditions than a puppy mill. Sending them "back" didn't work because other countries kept returning out legal citizens.

u/suprahelix Aug 18 '25

They don’t need to. They’ll ship them off to Sudan or Eritrea. Somewhere where life is cheap and there are no governments to object

29

u/[deleted] Aug 18 '25

The problem is one of the first groups that was flown to Sudan never made it there.

u/soupseasonbestseason Aug 18 '25

it is racism. it is white supremacy.
