They are being sent to a place that is both as horrible as the Nazis want and as far away from legal representation as the Nazis find convenient.

It’s Nazis doing this, so there should be no question that it’s horrible and wrong. But, unlike the Nazis, they didn’t get legal clearance first before they could do these horrible things. That means there is a chance to fight that.

I suggest that you research the process of obtaining a green card and, after that, attaining actual citizenship – including all of the rights one is granted in the meantime, before you make any judgment against these people.

What the government is currently doing, is not only expressly and extraordinarily illegal, it is forbidden by international law. And it’s forbidden by international law because of what the fucking Nazis did. And what the Nazis did, the Trump administration is very much trying to do, in full force.

If you have any doubts about this or questions about this, you clearly have an IQ under 20.

And so begins the “one drop” Nazi policy.

These people weren’t deported because they weren’t white, they were deported because they had enough “not white “blood for the current Nazi administration to report them because they made the Nazis look bad

Yeah, but your social safety nets are strong, and rich people and companies are highly taxed in order to fund those social safety nets. That makes any random worker far more motivated to go and do their job than if they were getting absolutely ass-fucked in 1 trillion different ways every hour of every day, like they are in the United States — purely in the name of prophet –, all while the propaganda tries to convince them and everyone else that’s because they are “weak“.

I suddenly have no difficulty understanding why the red October revolutionist didn’t try to “rehabilitate” the imperials, and just murdered the fucking a lot of them.

To add to the previous comment, no.

Any benefits above slavery have been hard-fought, and hard-won for nearly a century. Hell, even the concept of a “weekend“ didn’t exist until union workers protested to the point where they demanded two days off every week.

Never forget: anything you have, anything you enjoy, anything that makes your life better… Thousands and, possibly, hundreds of thousands of people had to fight (and die) for decades before they even got a fraction of what we have now. And it’s always the fascist that wanna take it away.

Not just children. Anyone who isn’t rich, white, cis, straight, and Christian. If you’re not rich, then you must be a piece of shit, and you deserve nothing, not even the most basic human dignity (according to the 0.01%)

Then you should remember the rise of fascism pretty clearly. That is “what the fuck”

This is Florida… Why would any horrible thing they do surprise you?

See, that’s what I love to see: people finding solutions to problems rather than just more problems.

Not being British nor having access directly to the BBC, perhaps I just never saw that episode.

Shameful

Ayn rand died collecting Social Security and Medicaid benefits. Keep that in mind. The belief in conservative ism is an exercise in narcissistic projection. The most “staunch” conservatives are the worst offenders. Bullies, narcissists, sociopaths. It’s a pretty good indicator as to why anything they think or believe is absolute unrelenting bullshit.

Wait, whaaa? I don’t remember that…
