I mean, where would she go? Back to her bornes county? She already pulled over. She can't pull over anymore.
Italy obviously. I’m just kidding lol
Speaking as a America born perpetual foreigner, they don't care as long as you're not in America.
Idk if this is the right place to mention this but…
Anyone else find it weird that this was so well predicted by the boys TV show?
Tap for spoiler
In the show the dems win and due to a political play by the world’s smartest person, the president gets arrested and the house speaker gives all power to homelander (satire of superman and trump)
What’s super weird is that they fully had starlight supporters (the opposition) rounded up and put into prisons.
All that happened via a smart coup. In reality the people voted for this and it’s done in broad daylight…
What’s even more mad is that their last episode was called president assassination and it had to be renamed cause it literally happened that week
So yeah, the satire went over the top yet reality somehow found a way to top it but just in a far more incompetent way.
the boyz was mostly based on trump, and his administration, even down to his fetishes and pervasions.
Do you mean the series specific tweaks? I thought the comics were written closer to 2000.
Just checked, they were originally published 2006-2012.
So, there are a few of scenarios here:
- They knowingly sent this to her and intend to follow through (least likely IMO)
- They knowingly sent this in an attempt to scare an immigration attorney (somewhat likely)
- They accidentally sent this because they are negligently sending these notices without any checks or due process (most likely)
The most likely option, while less scary than #1 and #2 is still supremely frightening. They are simply removing due process from the process. It is just a process now without any due diligence involved.
You think theres a world where they pivot from 3 to 1? I can't imagine this regime apologizing and flip-floping on anything :3
They accidentally sent the letter but they'll still make good on it. Thats my guess.
Yeah, it was a mistake. But it'll be a little fascist happy accident.
Direct fearmongering.
Make her scared and get her to leave.
If she fights back it was an "oopsie woopsie".
Even if she wanted to comply. How the fuck is someone supposed to just up and leave the country? That's next to impossible on short notice.
Walk into an embassy and seek asylum I guess?
Keep in mind that if she would comply she would probably also be scared of those concentration camps. So leaving materialistic things behind would probably not be too much of a problem and then it's just making sure she has her identification with her. Plus complying would possibly give her a chance for more time to figure it out because they want her to leave anyways.
I think fighting back is best here though.
It's time for a new underground railroad. Being sent to El Salvador is a death sentence. You're never coming home, and in all likelihood, I believe most people who are being/will be sent there will be executed. I don't even buy the forced labor narrative.
They're kidnapping US citizens based on skin tone and politics. The more they get away with it, the more they will escalate. In a month or two, it could be thousands of people a day. We don't even know the full extent of it because not every single person being kidnapped is a news story or has anyone to advocate for them. This is white supremacy in action. This is an advanced stage of ethnocide.
Resistance to this has to be violent, not my desire, nor am I stating my intent to do so. But it has to be. The law isn't going to stop them. Every deportation has to cost them as much as possible. In property, in money, in time and in public opinion. Every single person who has a cell phone needs to be ready to record and post online anything they see. Black bloc protests have to happen. ICE headquarters, facilities, and vehicles need to be trashed. Nothing else is going to make a difference. When people are being kidnapped, witnesses should record and intervene. Harass the officers. Block their way so they can't move. This is fascism, antifascist tactics are required to resist it.
This is, functionally, the concentration camps.
Actually it's the most trumpian thing of all to offshore concentration camps. I'm on board with this explanation.
Auschwitz was never on german grounds, hence it also is the most hitlerian thing.
I said this to my boss. We’re in BC and work in the marine industry. She’s really worried about, well everything, and doesn’t know how she can help. I told her we work on boats, we all have boats, there will be a new Underground Railroad, and where we are will mean boats. I’m not letting people die down there if I can help get them out.
Know anybody on the east coast who could participate? I'm becoming truly scared at this point.
It doesn't have to be violent, but it has to be direct. You want to "deport" US citizens? You'll need someone to drive the bus full of people to the airport, someone from the airport to open the gate, someone else to fuel the plane, a mechanic to sign off on the plane, two pilots to fly the plane, and at least three separate air traffic controllers just to clear the plane out of US airspace. It just takes one of those people to say no.
47% of Americans today APPROVE of what Trump is doing. You really think he's going to have a hard time finding a couple thousand people to do his most heinous stuff? You're going to convince people to say no?
Be real.

Then making them afraid of saying "Yeah, ok boss." is what's left on the table I guess?
I want in. I'll help conduct.
US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) authorities “used the known email addresses of the alien to send notifications”, a DHS official told the network.
Why do people always refer to foreign people as aliens? It sounds so degrading and shitty.
Deep cultural xenophobia leads to dehuminization
leads to? try is.
The word literally means "not from here." In the bible, Jesus tells us to be kind to the alien among us, and he wasn't talking about men from Mars.
But it's 100% intended for making people think of scary monsters from other planets.
It's a deliberate dehumanization tactic as old as organized xenophobia itself.
The way they pronounce “foreigners” is practically just as humiliating.
At any rate the lawyer in this article is a natural born citizen of American citizens. But I don’t think that protects her either at the moment. Hopefully the uprising that would happen if she was kidnapped would be so overwhelming as to stop the whole thing.
So let’s uprise now and stop it. See you Saturday.
BECAUSE it sounds so degrading and shitty.
It's easier to make scared people hate innocent strangers when you make them sound inhuman and frightening.
It's the same tactic hateful demagogues have used since before recorded time began.
It predates aliens as little green men. And I'm sure the word is a legally recognized phrase. It's quickly becoming, if not already a slur though. Here's googles etymological breakdown.
The word "alien" originates from the Latin word "aliễnus," meaning "belonging to another, foreign, strange". It's a derivative of "alius," meaning "other," ultimately tracing back to the Proto-Indo-European root "h,élyos. This root also gives rise to the word "else". The word "alien" entered Middle English from Old French, and its earliest usage as a noun and adjective in the 14th century referred to foreigners or strangers.
It predates aliens
Don't bring the predator into this!
It is degrading and shitty and you bet your bottom dollar they know it. They use this language as just a smaller part of the larger machine the right wing government uses to gather tone deaf and ignorant citizens and encourage them to hegemonize people who don't look like them. I'll tell you that for free.
They aren't people. They're filthy fucking nazi trash.
us aliens also have an Alien Number on our green cards so we can be dehumanized while being dehumanized
Because the world is older than you are.
Misunderstanding the meaning of words is so alien to me.
Americans, it's happening. It's fucking happening.
I thought Trump would have to declare martial law to blatantly violate constitutional rights...
Sunday.
"Some of you guys are alright, don't go to the US ~~on Sunday~~."
I'll bet good money this was an intentional "clerical error" and they fully intend to send her to El Salvador.
Yeah the justification that they "used the email provided by the individual" is absurd if they're not even bothering to include the name of the person they're attempting to contact in the email.
100% they will start deporting naturalised citizens for the crime of not pledging fealty to Israel
This person isn't naturalized though.
Synthesized citizens, then. They're gonna deport everyone.
First half: I joke
Second half: I real shit
Incompetence exemplified
Marge questions if Hanlon's Razor applies here.
Two things can be true.
Malicious people can very often, be so very stupid.
