#Trump Deportations

[jordanbackupsoc]

I think I’ve seen this film before and I didn’t like the ending

I don't know if people genuinely aren't putting 2 and 2 together

But when Trump is arguing that native americans "don't have birthright to live here" and is trying to "deport them"

It means we go in the same camps immigrants are going in

Mexico and other countries aren't taking the immigrants the US is "trying" to send back, he's going to kill us

The US is making death camps, and they are taking everyone they find undesirable to send there

Natives count as the undesirables too.

[trinketkitten]

I have genuinely never encountered such stupidity until after Trump won the election. Trumpies and MAGA-extremists(nazis) are literally trying to justify the things he’s said by making up some bullshit excuse.

So, here’s a list of things Trump has said, on video, that should never be justified:

"She does have a very nice figure ... if [she] weren't my daughter, perhaps I'd be dating her."

Trump talking about creeping on women in a pageant dressing room [1:35-2:02]

Trump saying he cant wait to date a random 10-year old girl in ten years. [0:32-0:40]

When asked if he would stay with Melania if she got disfigured in a car accident, he replied with “How do the breasts look?” [1:03-1:16]

3-Minute long video of trump using crude language to refer to women.(grab em by the pussy)

Trump doubling down on sexual assault

But, if this seems like “feminist propagande”to you, here’s more concerning things he’s said and done:

Defending the Charlottesville Violence. “Robert E Lee, one of the greatest generals”.

Footage of Trump and Epstein partying together.

Trump signing to withdraw us from the HUMAN RIGHTS COUNCIL

I URGE you to watch this film of Trump’s Propaganda if you believe that he isnt a fascist.

[roselius]

MARCH 15th WE SHUT THEM DOWN.

KEEP FIGHTING.

KEEP PROTESTING.

KEEP BOYCOTTING.

BUT WE NEED TO BE LOUDER.

Let’s break down this capitalist system.

[in4newz]

Do you support Donald Trump Federally banning Sharia Law in America?

Reblog if you agree.

[grandpa-spooks]

Hey, for those of you who want to do something about America's current path but don't know what, talk to people. Now is not the time to shut ourselves off from the conservatives. People change every day, but it takes time and effort from other human beings. So keep reaching out and forming relationships (they don't have to be deep ones), asking questions, being kind and patient while they slowly see things differently. If we shut them out or respond in anger, even when it’s justified, nothing will change. I was a conservative until someone taught me better— things can change.

(Also, be safe. If you can hide it, don’t tell these people that you’re of an endangered minority group. Make it personal by saying you have friends, but don’t list names, including your own.)

[buttacake80]

To my Asian, European, African, and Canadian friends...do y'all wanna know how the United States found itself under a fascist, Hitler-loving dictator named Donald Trump?

In another post, I started my timeline in 1980. The year I was born. But, it was also a turning point in US politics.

First, let me share my credentials.

- Bachelors of Arts - History

- Juris Doctor - Public Interest Law (Critical Race Theory)

- Masters of Philosophy (research degree) - Sociology (Race, Ethnicity, Conflict)

Just recently, we buried President Jimmy Carter, who was the president, when I was born. Jimmy was from Georgia, like my grandmother, and he came from a Southern Baptist background. Southern Baptists are known for being very conservative Christians who did not support abortion.

Jimmy, despite that background, actually supported LGBTQ rights by lifting a federal ban. He supported Roe v. Wade which protected access to abortion. And, he established the federal Department of Education.

However, Jimmy had an antagonistic relationship with Congress, and that alienated several Democrats, including Ted Kennedy, who was the brother of John F. Kennedy, a president who was assassinated.

The Kennedy family has an established name brand due to JFK and Robert F Kennedy (another brother and JFK's attorney general who was also assassinated). Ted was the younger, drunken brother who caused the accidental death of a college friend.

In 1980, Ted challenged Jimmy for the presidency even though they were both Democrats. Jimmy has the incumbent shouldn't have faced a challenge from his own party, but he had just been that bad.

So, this internal strife weakened the Democratic Party entering the 1980 election. In that same year, Jimmy boycotted the 1980 Olympics in Russia due to Russia's invasion of Afghanistan. Furthermore, there was a recession.

The Republican Party nominee was a former Hollywood actor turned politician named Ronald Reagan. Ronald was the governor of California and was trailing Jimmy in the polls until a presidential debate in which Ronald used his acting skills to make Jimmy seem incompetent.

Ronald believed in "trickle down economics." He believed that if the wealthiest people were taxed less, then they would spend more, thus boosting the economy and allowing prosperity to "trickle down" to the working & Middle class.

He also believed in increased military spending as this was the height of the Cold War with Russia. My own parents voted for Reagan because my dad was in the military.

Instead of trickling down, the wealthy just grew wealthier. Republicans continued to lower taxes for these individuals and businesses, so the money never trickled down. Social services were underfunded & unemployment increased. Reagan's response was to blame Black "welfare mothers" for abusing the system.

Republicans latch onto this. They implement work requirements for government assistance and make it harder for folks to pull out of poverty. As a result, a wealth gap separated white folk from the rest. White folk felt their hard earned money was supporting lazy white & Black folk, so they continued to constrict welfare programs.

[Section added] During Reagan's term, an unknown illness is killing young, gay Black & Latino men. It's AIDs. Reagan deemed it a gay disease that only affects gay people, so no funding is allocated to study this disease. It's viewed as retribution for their homosexua lifestyle. However, overtime, they learn about HIV once non-gay men were infected. Children die from the disease because blood is not tested for it, so some are born from it through their mothers while others were given transfusions.

Under Reagan, the Fairness Doctrine ends. Under this doctrine, news agencies had to report both sides of an issue. Because of this, television stations can now present one side. Fox News opens as a conservative network.

Ronald is well-loved by white folk. He gets elected to two terms. By the end of his term, the economy has recovered, and white folk are prospering. Then, his VP, George H.W. Bush, is elected.

Under George I, the Cold War ends, but we have the Gulf War in Kuwait. He signs trade agreements that result in several American companies, namely the auto industry, to shutter their doors and build factories overseas. This is due to a change in tariffs!

Millions of Americans lose their jobs as factories close. Detroit, as the leading auto manufacturer city, is devastated. Back in the 90s, Detroit was the 4th largest US city after Chicago. These factory closures hit the Midwest, especially hard.

This makes Bush unpopular. He is challenged by a young, charismatic Democrat named Bill Clinton.

Bill was a southerner like Jimmy, but Bill was a very well-known ladies' man. Bill appeals to Black Americans, though, and that allows him to defeat George.

Bill continues expanding trade agreements. He's a fiscal conservative despite being a Democrat, and under Bill, military spending is reduced.

[Section added] The rise of AIDs leads to further hate directed at the LGBTQ. During the 90s, several queer people are murdered. One such kid was Matthew Shepard. A college kid in Wyoming, he is beaten by a gang of white men. His family was terrorized so much, that they couldn't bury him because of fears his grave would be desecrated.

[A white woman Bishop in DC invites Shepard's parents to bury him in their graveyard. That Bishop is Marian Edgar Budde, the same Bishop who gave Trump his inaugural sermon this past week. She pleaded for Trump to have mercy on the queer community because she was the Bishop who buried Shepard!]

Bill is a popular president. The economy is booming, but he's still a lady's man, and he gets in trouble with a college intern.

This scandal adversely impacts the last few years in office so much so that his VP, Al Gore, loses the presidency to George W. Bush.

George Bush won the Electoral College while Al Gore won the popular vote. There was such a tiny margin that there were numerous recounts because of faulty ballots (hanging chads). Eventually, the Supreme Court intervenes and tells them to stop the count and certify George as president.

George II is the son of George I.

George II is a popular Texan with swagger. He wants to build up the military once again.

Clinton left a surplus of money, so what did George II do? He implemented tax cuts for the wealthy. That damned "trickle down economics" again. The wealthy get wealthier, increasing the wealth gap between white folks and everybody else.

They cut taxes while cutting social services. One of his biggest "achievements" was a restructuring of our educational system called "No Child Left Behind."

NCLB emphasizes test scores. School administrations are penalized if they don't meet these standards. They lost funding, so electives such as home economics, art, Music, etc are trimmed to make room for these test standards. By this time, my dad has retired from the military and is a school principal, and I remember the stress of trying to meet these standards.

These standards emphasize STEM at the expense of liberal arts. This is happening just as the internet becomes available to all.

Amazon opens as an online used book store. Facebook is started as a college message board. There's a tech boom, so everyone is being pushed into tech fields. Liberal arts education was devalued.

During his term, 9-11 happens. We declare war on Afghanistan. Islamophobia spikes. Fox News helps drive this narrative. Christianity is now being pushed into schools, whereas schools were previously secular.

[Section added] In 2004, the assault rifle ban was lifted. Now we are seeing a dramatic spike in school shootings. The Far Right embraces the expansion of the 2nd Amendment.

Then, we go to war in Iraq.

We aren't quite sure why we're at war with Iraq. We overthrow Suddam Hussein (from the Gulf War). George declares victory, then terminates the Iraqi Army.

This triggers an insurrection. Massive casualties are coming out of Iraq. The war in Afghanistan is overshadowed.

George serves two terms, but his VP is so unpopular that he doesn't run for president. Instead, the Republican nominee is John McCain.

Two Democrats fight for the nomination. Hillary Clinton, the wife of Bill, and Barack Obama.

Barack was a young, biracial Senator from Illinois. I attended law school in Illinois, and one of my classmates had been his legislative aide. I met Barack twice while a student. The first time, he had come to campus to propose a college-savings account. After his press conference, I latched onto his arm and refused to let go until he heard me, and I explained that his proposal was unrealistic because it assumed that a single mother would have the resources to save for an education when it was more likely her money would go towards groceries & rent or other immediate needs. (Fast forward two-three years, and the dude is repeating my line during the State of the Union! I had changed his mind!)

Barack beats Hillary for the nomination. He defeats McCain and is sworn in as the 1st black (not Black) president.

Obama is popular and well-loved by most Americans. Under his tenure, gay marriage is legalized.

Fox News triples down on their hatred.

Their network booms. They push Islamophobia 24/7. Highlight the fact that Obama's father was Muslim and that his middle name was Hussein.

Older Americans are watching program after program of this negativity. A movement starts called the Tea Party movement, which positions itself as a fiscally conservative movement. A bankrupt slumlord with a reality TV show gains popularity with these folks.

I wrote my master's dissertation on the Tea Party movement. It's called "Jesus and the White Man."

Donald Trump

Donald latches onto the Islamaphobia. He calls Barack by his middle name and questions his birth certificate. Donald grows popular with older Americans.

At the end of Obama's term, the son of VP Biden dies. This devastated Biden. He had lost his infant daughter & first wife in a car accident. He decides not to run for president.

Obama supports Hillary.

It is now Hillary v. Trump.

Trump pushes misogyny and Islamaphobia. Hillary is Bill's wife and a woman. She is the most qualified presidential candidate to ever run (at that time).

During Obama's last year in office, Justice Antonin Scalia* dies. Obama has the privilege to nominate that next Justice, but Mitch McConnell stalls through the election.

But older white Americans were barely okay with a black president. They were not about to let a woman serve as President. At the same time, an organization called Cambridge Analytica began to fine-tune an ultra conservative agenda.

With the help of Russian intelligence, they use Facebook ads to try to persuade voters to support Trump. They succeeded with white folk, but they did not succeed with the Black vote.

Russians used African bot farms in order to try to persuade Black Americans to support Trump. We rejected him at 90%.

Donald wins the Electoral College but not the popular vote.

Donald is a corrupt and ineffectual president. He tried to bribe foreign leaders and shared US intelligence with Russia.

However, as a populist, he latches onto the Christian Right. He nominates 3 Supreme Court Justices who lie during their confirmation hearings. These Justices will ultimately vote to overturn Roe v. Wade.

The Christian Right love this. But then COVID hits and the incompetence of Donald leads to millions of deaths. These Christian folk refuse to get vaccinated or wear masks.

Donald is an unpopular president and ranks as the worst president of all time.

Biden challenges him and wins.

Donald refuses to accept that he lost, so he organized an attempted coup. January 6th.

He's impeached. Twice.

McConnell refuses to take the step to have him permanently barred from office.

Biden takes office when COVID is still rampant. The Christian Right continue to push their agenda, seeking to remove protections for the LGBTQI.

Right wing media generates a lot of money. Podcasters jump on the bandwagon. Red pill content spills into the mainstream.

Kids who were isolated during COVID are now at home watching Joe Rogan & Theo Von. They spend hours upon hours on TikTok.

But unbeknownst to these kids is the history of Russian interference.

Schools emphasize STEM. They don't emphasize liberal arts or social sciences such as history or literature. The literacy rate plummeted to an all-time low. The average white American's reading level is at the 4th grade. They aren't able to engage in critical thinking.

They don't know the history of the Spanish Influenza. They don't know the history of a trade war that triggered the Great Depression. They don't know that our government has imprisoned citizens in internment camps. They don't know Hitler's rise to power.

In fact, Fox News frequently features individuals who deny the Holocaust.

Russia move their troll farms from Facebook to TikTok, where the algorithm serves as an echo chamber. Uneducated, illiterate folks gobble up 30-second videos but can't be arsed to watch anything over 5 minutes so complex issues are stripped down to sound bites.

The algorithm pushed right-wing fascist talking points. They rehabbed Donald while shifting Gen Z to the far right. They do not know how to verify information for themselves, so they gobble up misinformation and disinformation.

If a TikTok creator has millions of followers with thousands of views and likes, these kids assume that that info is factual. They do not vet shit for themselves.

Russia pushed anti-American propaganda that posed as pro-American talking points. Pushed isolationism. Pushed anti-democratic rhetoric. In fact, one of their greatest accomplishments is convincing Gen Z and uneducated, white Millennials into thinking we aren't a democracy.

We are a fucking Democratic Republic. Our constitution begins with: "We the people".

So, because of TikTok, Trump won.

That's why Biden was pushing for it to be banned before the election. The algorithm was being corrupted. But folks couldn't part from their addiction.

Folks who had been anti-Trump just 5 years ago are suddenly Trump supporters. They were brainwashed.

So, how did we get here?

We got here because most Americans are fucking STUPID.

[whereserpentswalk]

Friendly reminder that ICE still existed under Biden, that there were still countless people deported under Biden, that if the democrats had one and the same deportations that are happening now happened, you likely wouldn't have heard about it at all.

If you suddenly care about the rights of immigrants the moment that a republican is in office, you don't actually care about immigrants. Like, I'm happy more people are calling out ICE raids now, but it's upsetting knowing that the exact same people would be defending and/or ignoring them if these were happening under a different president.

Please, there is going to be a time when Trump is out of office. And ICE will likely still exist and still be deporting massive amounts of people when that happens. If you actually care about human rights, and not just hating a specific guy, you're going to have to hate ICE just as much once he's out of office.

[magicbluemoond20]

Oh boy

Look what I got today, it’s an Anti Deportation card :D

Yeah I’m doing fine but the ICE Police visited my school and just interviewed some people

[starlightseraph]

no way they’re trying to arrest literal indigenous americans 😭

where are you gonna send them, fucking beringia?

[maryjaneszombies-blog]

They are NOT aliens

They ARE humans

Why are you treating people like they're not human?

[gutsondisplay]

Here's what we know about the deportations.

What to look out for, what to know, and what to do

When I say ICE, I also mean anyone else who could possibly be working with them

Know

- if you are poc at all or even poc presenting, they will come after you as well. It's not only immigrants they are targeting

- they are starting this targeting schools and churches

- Sanctuary states are stepping in to protect their citizens, states that aren't (like Texas) is purposely turning a blind eye and will not help you, please check if you're in a safe state

- teachers are actively stepping in to protect their students

- classrooms and houses count as dwellings, people cannot come in dwellings by force (unless they have a warrant)

- if people mention "winter boots" they mean agents.

Look out

- ICE is in van's, those vans are unmarked and will not be obviously ICE workers

- if you go to school, ICE is (trying) to use social workers and CPS to take away kids, if they come in, watch who they are looking for. (For right now, CPS and social workers are refusing to work with ICE, but I would still be cautious)

- if you have a noticeable poc population wherever you go and live, watch it. Watch if people suddenly go missing or for whatever reason isn't seen for a day or 2

- Look on any form of media for reports of agents

These are the warrants you should be looking for

To do

- Do NOT open the door if ICE or those suspected of working for them come to a dwelling, they will force their way in once you do that. Keep the door closed.

- Do NOT run if you think you see them, running will make them think you are guilty and they will go after you.

- Treat them like cops, because they are. Like cops, you have to be extremely calm and collected with them because cops will use whatever reason they see fit to harm you. Do not yell, touch, raise your voice, and be extremely clear when you talk to them.

- ICE does not have you or anyone's best interest in heart, do NOT try to actually befriend them

- Walk in groups if you or someone you know is poc or an immigrant, it is harder to seclude and take someone if they aren't alone

- Get in touch with your community, it is harder to protect or be protected if you do not know who to be with

- you can legally and SHOULD record and take pictures of agents, once you do that, send those videos and pictures to anyone you know. If you post it to social media (which you should) put down the location they were seen.

It is INSANELY important that if you have any other tips or information that you put them down here.

Protect your fellow person, regardless of if you know or like them.

[trinketkitten]

Reminder: Peaceful protesting is legal because it gets nothing done.

Luigi Mangione made the ruling class afraid of the working class with his violent protest.

There are more of us then there are of them.

Info for The Incoming ICE Raids

Full disclosure, I only speak English and around a sliver or arabic and I myself am not an immigrant. I am just doing my best to compile information. Any additions or comments are welcome and appreciated.

First, remember this; DON'T PANIC.

(both of these infographics were found on this post.)

If you see ICE officer in your area, shout "La migra" and "ICE" as loud as you can to alert those around you.

Know Your Rights

We Have Rights is a website dedicated to educating about your rights in the event of an ICE encounter. From everything from documenting the presence of ICE officer, to responding when ICE is at your door, to even what to do when ICE detains you; this website has information to help in the form of short animated videos.

To every non-immigrant reading, PLEASE watch this video specifically. It contains incredibly important info of what to do when documenting an ICE arrest and this information 100% pertains and should be utilized by you.

We Have Rights also contains resources for creating an emergency plan here. The website is currently available in English, Spanish(Español), Arabic (العربية), Simplified Chinese (中文), Haitian Creole (Kreyól Ayisyen), Russian (РУССКИЙ), and Urdu (اردو).

I also found this page on the National Immigration Law Center's website. It thoroughly goes through what to do when encountering ICE in many situations in an easy to navigate article. It is available in Spanish(Español), Arabic (العربية), Simplified AND Traditional Chinese (中文/), Haitian Creole (Kreyól Ayisyen), Korean (한국어/조선어), Tagalog, And Vietnamese (tiếng Việt).

Know Your Local Hotlines

It is important that if you have information on an ongoing or approaching aggression being carried out by ICE that you report it to one of the many Rapid Response Network/Immigration Hotlines so they can spread the word and help support the community in response.

This list compiled at the National Network for Immigrant and Refugee Rights's website has a list of every hotline by state, every national hotline, hotlines for LGBTGIA+ Immigrants, Missing Migrant hotlines, region specific hotlines and more.

If you do not have a local hotline, I (as someone with zero experience or authority mind you) personally recommend reporting to United We Dream. United We Dream is a national hotline specifically focused on raid reports that can be reached at 1-844-363-1423 and texted at 877877. Photos, videos, and the most specific info possible are the most useful.

Miscellaneous Advice;

Never, EVER reveal the immigration status of ANYONE to an ICE officer.

It is important to know your rights; however, that doesn't mean ICE will respect them. In the event that your rights are being violated, assess the risk when deciding whether to comply or assert your rights.

From what I've seen, many things which apply to cops also apply to ICE. So, do not treat them any differently. They are not your friends, they will use any information you give them to incriminate and manipulate you.

Please take care of yourself. Spend time with friends and family, do things you love. No matter how bleak the world seems, there are thousands fighting for you and by your side. We will prevail.

🔥 Batman Finally Snaps at Gotham’s Bullshit Immigration Logic 🦇

Batman: "Let me get this straight, Gordon... If a Gotham citizen commits fraud, works under the table, dodges taxes, and carries fake documents, or sets a person on fire, they go to jail."

Gordon: "Correct."

Batman: "But if an illegal alien does the exact same thing, they’re an ‘undocumented worker’ and it’s… fine?"

Gordon: "Batman, it’s about compassion."

Batman: "Compassion? Gordon, I just watched you throw a single mother in jail over a parking ticket while telling me the human trafficker I caught deserves a chance at the ‘American Dream.’"

Gordon: "It’s complicated, Batman."
