"And expected to die, for the land of our birth

Though we've never owned one lousy handful of earth?"

How the fuck do you even justify that?

It's actually hilarious sometimes being in this exact field of work, doing maintenance and shit. I see some apartments exactly like this in a complex and laugh because the extra 800 dollars they tack onto monthly rent for a couple of plastic baseboards, white paint and cheapest possible covers for everything.

Then they get mad at you when you straight up don't respect them and tell them what they do is a straight up grift.

Not a huge fan of their logo unless it's just meant to be an ironic version of the three arrows with trumpets..but with the whole "commune" part I'm not quite sure.

Still, I can't knock their music or the lyrics; good stuff.

"My friend, whether we die from an absence

Or whether we burst an abscess,

It's the poison which flows

Some were swimming under the intimate waterlines,

Among the crowds"

"Then the victim stared up

Looked strangely at the screen

As if her pain was our fault

But that's entertainment

What we crave for inside

No more second rate...movies

From those people outside"

"New Orleans, LA – Today, in the early hours of the morning, the New Orleans ICE Field Office deported at least two families, including two mothers and their minor children – three of whom are U.S. citizen children aged 2, 4, and 7. One of the mothers is currently pregnant. The families, who had lived in the United States for years and had deep ties to their communities, were deported from the U.S. under deeply troubling circumstances that raise serious due process concerns.

ICE detained the first family on Tuesday, April 22, and the second family on Thursday, April 24. In both cases, ICE held the families incommunicado, refusing or failing to respond to multiple attempts by attorneys and family members to contact them. In one instance, a mother was granted less than one minute on the phone before the call was abruptly terminated when her spouse tried to provide legal counsel’s phone number.

As a result, the families were completely isolated during critical moments when decisions were being made about the welfare of their minor children. This included decisions with serious implications for the health, safety, and legal rights of the children involved–without any opportunity to coordinate with caretakers or consult with legal representatives.

These actions stand in direct violation of ICE’s own written and informal directives, which mandate coordination for the care of minor children with willing caretakers–regardless of immigration status–when deportations are being carried out.

Both families have possible immigration relief, but because ICE denied them access to their attorneys, legal counsel was unable to assist and advise them in time. With one family, government attorneys had assured legal counsel that a legal call would be arranged within 24-48 hours, as well as a call with a family member. Instead, just after close of business and after courts closed for the day, ICE suddenly reversed course and informed counsel that the family would be deported at 6am the next morning–before the court reopened.

That family filed a habeas corpus petition and motion for a temporary restraining order, which was never ruled on because of their rapid early-morning deportation.

In the case of the other family, a U.S. citizen child suffering from a rare form of metastatic cancer was deported without medication or the ability to consult with their treating physicians–despite ICE being notified in advance of the child’s urgent medical needs. In addition, one of the mothers who was deported is pregnant, and ICE proceeded with her deportation without ensuring any continuity of prenatal care or medical oversight."

The children were American citizens. One of them had a serious metastatic cancer that required treatment.

Love it when libs lecture us on human rights abuses in China or elsewhere, meanwhile...

"In shelters across New York, migrant children sit in front of computer and TV screens, appearing virtually in real court proceedings. They swivel in chairs, walk in circles and play with their hair — while immigration judges address them on the screens in front of them.

“The reason we’re here is because the government of the United States wants you to leave the United States,” Judge Ubaid ul-Haq, presiding from a courtroom on Varick Street, told a group of about a dozen children on a recent morning on Webex.

“It’s my job to figure out if you have to leave,” ul-Haq continued. “It’s also my job to figure out if you should stay.”"
