“Family of U.S. citizen detained by ICE in St. Paul seeks her release”
I would suggest your editorialized title be in the body instead.
Yes. “Papers Please” was not because the Nazis gave a fuck about your papers. It was just a means of keeping average Germans under the illusion that there was still some type of order and “system” that respected them. “As long as I comply I will be fine”.
Not how it worked then and not how it works now. If the SS troop doesn’t like you; that’s all that matters.
You aren’t going to “logic and reason” your way out of it. You are not a part of the team - even if you love ICE and Trump. They don’t give a fuck.
This is what people don’t get. The “just comply” crowd are steeped in privilege and have no critical thinking skills whatsoever. No matter what you give them they’ll say it’s fake or doctored. If you pissed them off they will lock you up for a few hours regardless of citizenship
A part of me finds some satisfaction knowing that as things get worse there will be at least one terminally online MAGA idiot that goes to show support for ICE and gets fucking black bagged regardless just because they were at some protest.
It would require them actually leaving their house. But, it’s bound to happen at some point.
It hasn’t been real as long as it’s only been an unprotected persons class. Plus the economy is designed to shit people into the prison system to make coke money for land owners getting dividends for however many bodies they can stuff in cinderblock closets.
Hard to talk about though. Most casual social gatherings don’t care for it, plus specific social gatherings lack de jure civil protections and are open to harassment like gang stalking if their outreach or membership are noticed by professional and lifestyle haters. So, activists take a lot of risks, just like everywhere else. (if only i could pass out journalist tech fast enough)
Did you know it’s a fireable offence to talk about communism in the u.s.? (so no job, no civil social net access) In the same document that’s has discrimination protections. (i can get it, but eepy. i saved a pdf in case it gets taken down like a lot of stuff has this year.) Too bad it doesn’t list white nationalism or profiteerism instead. I wonder if it would be a different world by how much. Redlining went so far. Anyway. I plan to put it in for bugfix once we make some architecture decisions (not my job, but people get mad at gaudy structure when told to eat cake sometimes. The guy who busted a window at Vance’s probably has a bail fund, and it’s time to check mario’s brother again)
It was always going to get to this place, where brow shirts just round up anyone for their $3,000 bonus. I’m surprised mercans are only just starting to wake up. Unfortunately i feel like its too late. Your buffoon is already stating there wont be 2026 midterms.
cw everything
Why are you surprised? They kill people who speak up. Today and since ever. Pretty liberally. I’m glad we can get videos now – it’s been helpful, but they’re intensifying brutality on that front as well.
Tap for spoiler
Sucks being surrounded by surprised neighbors who have been shushing you for 10, 20, 40 years… If not acting as out of uniform kkk themselves. (i mean trying to kill you for breathing their air or to protect themselves from fox-injected paranoia)
Places like www.splcenter.org are swimming upstream, but, you know… there’s no giving up on home.
You can stop acting like the rapist who paid for a pagent and crawled into our bed to reward us for winning is our besti ok? Thaaaanks
Don’t forget – I’m agreeing with you entirely.
It’s almost like a lot of money goes to bribes just to keep it this way. Wow. Glad everyone else’s country, except Germany, and every other colonist state for sure historically, is immune to systemic corruption, journalism die off, and uninhibited sadistic psychopaths. Hm.
It was the same in Chicago too. You could provide ids and passports and they’d just claim they were fake and arrest you anyway.
Immigrant…this week. You’re next week.
And your safety is not guaranteed.
