#deportation and banning

[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.

REMINDER: If you have friends or family members who could fall victim to the mass deportations do NOT mention it to people you cannot absolutely trust and please DO NOT POST ABOUT IT!!! You are providing a roadmap directly to them. ICE has already been granted permission to enter schools and churches at their own discretion, this is a serious and dangerous situation. I am begging you, if you know people who could be deported or who are planning to flee the country, don't talk to other people about it, especially not Trump supporters or any kind of law enforcement.

The TikTok situation was just a distraction for his deportation plan.

reminders:

if you or someone you know might need it in the next few years, purchase plan b. the shelf life of plan b is 4 years, and we might not be able to access it as easily as we can now in the days ahead.

if you are larger/plus size: go online and purchase ella instead of plan b. plan b is less effective if you aren’t under 160 pounds.

if you can, purchase books that project 2025 is looking to ban.

mass deportations are starting. if you see ice vehicles or agents, yell ice raid and la migra as loud as you can.

if someone asks who you voted for, keep your mouth shut. they’re fishing for traitors.

if anyone, anyone at all asks about your neighbors or their legal status in the us, you know nothing. don’t be the reason that their family is separated.

if anyone asks about your religion or lack thereof, keep it vague. this administration will look for any excuse to persecute you.

your friends are trans or queer? for the next four years they’re not. don’t expose anyone’s status as a trans or queer person to anyone else, even if you think you can trust them.

did someone you know get an abortion? no, they didn’t. they were never pregnant.

in short, don’t be a snitch, and keep to yourself these next four years. we’ll make it through this even if it seems hopeless at times.

we can survive this. we’ve survived before, and we’ll survive again.

I know I'm being joke-y about it but I am actually very sad and hurt rn because this ban is just the start of the US government stripping us of our rights! It was never about security risks, it's always been about the rich dickheads in the government not wanting us to be able to speak to one another and spread information about the causes we care about without censorship.

You know what's worse than living in "unprecedented times"?

Living in a completely and repeatedly precedented time where the majority is seemingly willfully blind to the writing on the wall because It Could Never Happen Here, and certainly not to me!

Be weary

While the Tik Tok ban is taking a lot of attention, it’s being used as a distraction and stunt to draw attention away from the mass deportations and raids set to happen this week.

I’m not saying the ban isn’t important, it reflects censorship and is being used by Trump to gain favor with people so he can say he brought it back. But, don’t let the ban distract you from the oppression immigrants and undocumented people go through, and that they are being heavily targeted this week. It’s common for governments to pull stunts to hide an atrocity happening. For instance, the terrible debate between Trump and Harris last year hid the fact that Gaza was being bombed and refugee camps were being invaded from the American populace. Governments love to do something to draw American attention away from what the government wants to do but knows they won’t have mass approval or don’t want attention. This is happening again with the Tik Tok ban and planned unbanning going at the same time frame as the mass deportations planned.

Trump is a very dangerous man and I am sickened that he is in office and people support him. I’m not shocked but am extremely disappointed that the country picked an incompetent hateful fascist that reflects racist rhetoric. He is destroying communities and will leave so much damage. The nation built off immigrant labor rejects the same people that built this nation (the US was built off exploited Indigenous, Black, Asian, Latin, queer, trans, disabled, women labor).

Remember: DO NOT HELP ICE!!

Remember: If you know an immigrant, NO YOU DON’T

Remember: Protect your neighbors and make sure they’re safe during this time

Remember: Legality is NOT morality

Remember: Pay attention to what the government puts in front of you, and ask yourself if something else is happening behind the scenes

Everyone always says that they would’ve fought the Nazis and help to hide the Jewish people if they were born in Nazi Germany. While what’s happening now is a different time period, take that pride that you’d do better than the Germans who allowed Nazis to get away with this, and actually do better. See humanity in immigrants and ask what they need. The government isn’t going to help you. Once they hurt everyone else, they will go after you. Speak up while you still can. Help vulnerable communities while you still can. Even reblogging is still activism by spreading awareness.

Do not let Trump get away with this.

Do any help you can.

Do what you can.

I think henceforth US Americans should use Xiaohongshu just to spite the entire manufactured TikTok ban spectacle (and to have more fun)

[aveiral]

Yo remember when the conspiracy theory people tried to convince us the government had too much power and they’re gonna use it against us

[relaxedstyles]

[itadorey]

[skelpiescool]

@cemeterygrace is the og poster

[breaking-everything]

Elon should just try to colonize the fucking sun in a scorching blaze. His midlife crisis is painful to watch. Now he's doing open Nazi salutes and meddling in other governments like the unloved parasitical piece of nepobaby shit he is.

What an embarrassment. That's America's Shadow President Courtesy of Donald Trump and he's a washed out desperate divorced vibe middle aged dad fuck that tries too hard to fit in with what he perceives as the "cool kids".

Maybe that cybertruck he has in that deformed chest of his will finally explode and we'll be free of his stupid bullshit.

[spoofyleaf]
