The Trump administration has set strict quotas for arresting anyone even suspected of being in the country illegally, with Stephen Miller ordering that 3,000 people be arrested every single day, or ICE officers will face consequences

What the fuck

Quotas are supposed to be illegal for law enforcement, not that they care about rule of law, but should be another note for the second Nuremberg Trials.

Nazis. That's what the fuck. It is all so "by the book". That book was supposed to warm us away from stuff like this. But nazi rhetoric is being wielded so fiercely in 2025 that the rest of us are, justifiably, pretty confused.

Anyone who still doesn't see how similiar this is to 1930s Germany, is lying, a child or ignorant to the point where they their opinion should be ignored.

Fascism in America. Brought to you by conservatives.

Start arming yourselves. If you have friends and family that aren't armed, help them get armed.

Most fucked up part? Chile is the whitest South American country. There was an old statistic from the mid 2000s that put Chile at 95% white European heritage people.

The only way it would get more fucked is if they deported Spaniards from Spain to El Salvador...

This gritty new Home Alone: Lost In New York reboot, starring Donald Trump, is just a bit on the nose

[–] SL3wvmnas@discuss.tchncs.de 14 points 6 days ago

This would be a movie that I want to watch, then turn off the second the kid is alone on the streets. Horror movies getting too realistic.

This isn't really a "boring" dystopia anymore. Can we go back to the boring one please

[–] SoftestSapphic@lemmy.world 34 points 6 days ago (3 children)

Hey is it ok for me to say we should run over ICE with our cars yet?

Maybe stop banning people for that in the middle of a civil war

[–] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 9 points 5 days ago

It's a lot easier to get away with killing people if you use a car. They might even blame the victim (or recently, their parents).

[–] LogicalFallacy@lemm.ee 19 points 6 days ago (3 children)

You got banned from here for that?

I literally left Reddit after they temporarily banned my account for writing that Trump's trial will be televised just like Saddam's.

Why do we only control the speech of leftists?

When driving over ice, don't hit the brakes. You might lose traction. Just hold the steering wheel steady, and keep moving.

[–] Tuxman@sh.itjust.works 45 points 6 days ago (2 children)

And then they all go "Please! We need tourist money!"

Yeah…. Nah…

[–] LogicalFallacy@lemm.ee 11 points 6 days ago

I'm an American (Californian) and I go out of my way to buy non-American. If not that, I use Goods Unite Us to boycott any company that donates to the fascist GOP.

3000 abductions a day is the ICE quota. They just want warm (non-white) bodies.

[–] ramenbelly@lemmy.zip 45 points 6 days ago (4 children)

I hope she sues the fuck out of them . NYPD is ICE thanks to Eric Adams.

[–] FarmTaco@lemmy.world 20 points 6 days ago

"We've looked into it and decided its not illegal, also welcome to El Salvador"

[–] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 19 points 6 days ago

NYPD has always been shit. Yes, it's probably worse now, but they've never been the good guys.

America is fundamentally broken.

[–] ayyy@sh.itjust.works 14 points 6 days ago

It’s time to dissolve the union.

[–] Mustakrakish@lemmy.world 12 points 6 days ago

From the start

Bastards burn it all down guillotines the fucking lot

United Shitholes of America

[–] ThatsTheSpirit@lemmy.dbzer0.com 19 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I STILL see reactionaries tout this ICE fiasco as some type of moral victory over "evil cartel criminals" i.e. single mothers, and working men.

[–] RedditIsDeddit@lemmy.world 12 points 6 days ago

You mean racist morons?

[–] Bloomcole@lemmy.world 21 points 6 days ago

That's what you get for being a tourist in a fascist banana republic.
Chileans of all people should know better.

Note the reference to Kristi Noem - South Dakota's former governor, who decided to handle COVID with "freedom and personal responsibility," spending $5 million of her state's federal COVID money on a tourism campaign. Like the line from Steve Martin's King Tut song, "He gave his life for tourism" - thanks to her, some South Dakotans probably did.
