I dunno, lot of news lately about Cubans being deported in record numbers in Florida. Of course, I reckon those are mostly dark-skinned Cubans…

Nah they seem to be taking everybody and the Cuban community is flabbergasted lol. Every different latino extraction convinced themselves that Trump was talking about latinos of a different extraction that they didn't like, who didn't deserve to be in America. Now they are being deported back to a country President Rubio is actively working to immiserate and destabilize. Whoops.

Lately I've been Playing Neil Young's "Ohio", and I can get it out of my head. The parallels to Kent State are strong when State executes innocent citizens:

The Boss just released a Protest song: Streets Of Minneapolis


Lyrics:
Through the winter’s ice and cold
Down Nicollet Avenue
A city aflame fought fire and ice
‘Neath an occupier’s boots
King Trump’s private army from the DHS
Guns belted to their coats
Came to Minneapolis to enforce the law
Or so their story goes
Against smoke and rubber bullets
By the dawn’s early light
Citizens stood for justice
Their voices ringing through the night
And there were bloody footprints
Where mercy should have stood
And two dead left to die on snow-filled streets
Alex Pretti and Renee Good

Oh our Minneapolis, I hear your voice
Singing through the bloody mist
We’ll take our stand for this land
And the stranger in our midst
Here in our home they killed and roamed
In the winter of ’26
We’ll remember the names of those who died
On the streets of Minneapolis

Trump’s federal thugs beat up on
His face and his chest
Then we heard the gunshots
And Alex Pretti lay in the snow, dead
Their claim was self defense, sir
Just don’t believe your eyes
It’s our blood and bones
And these whistles and phones
Against Miller and Noem’s dirty lies

Oh our Minneapolis, I hear your voice
Crying through the bloody mist
We’ll remember the names of those who died
On the streets of Minneapolis

Now they say they’re here to uphold the law
But they trample on our rights
If your skin is black or brown my friend
You can be questioned or deported on sight

In chants of ICE out now
Our city’s heart and soul persists
Through broken glass and bloody tears
On the streets of Minneapolis

Oh our Minneapolis, I hear your voice
Singing through the bloody mist
Here in our home they killed and roamed
In the winter of ’26
We’ll take our stand for this land
And the stranger in our midst
We’ll remember the names of those who died
On the streets of Minneapolis
We’ll remember the names of those who died
On the streets of Minneapolis

Fucking stupid people thinking that racists aren't going to be racist at their particular colour are a special breed of stupid.

Possibly ai. I apologize if it is. I was just browsing Google news and saw this article.

I understand, a friend had posted this in Facebook yesterday and I figured out it was AI. There has been so many AI manipulated pictures released by the right of this execution I don't want to muddy the waters by propagating AI pictures even if they are accurate.

They think they've achieved the same strata as white Americans and unless you actually appear like one....nah lol. Current times are a real refresher there.

Megyn Kelly, loud and proud Nazi.
With a message of... just hide indoors if you value your life.

Megyn Kelly Loudly And Proudly Shares Why She Doesn't 'Feel Sorry' For Slain ICU Nurse

"He was there with a loaded gun looking to cause trouble for the Border Patrol agents, and that trouble came back on him,” the right-wing pundit said.
...
“I know I’m supposed to feel sorry for Alex Pretti, but I don’t. I don’t. Do you know why I wasn’t shot by Border Patrol this weekend? Because I kept my ass inside and out of their operations,” she said.
Yet, he never reached for his gun once, as he was being peppered sprayed, hit, kicked, and attacked. He was trying to help a women that was shoved to the ground and pepper sprayed, by Trump's goons. The woman has even come forward and summitted witness statements in an avidavid to the courts, that Pretti was looking at her to make sure she was okay as he was executed. That is not a man looking for trouble. That man is a saint, a hero...

They can't. It's theater and will end up causing even more problems when people of limited understanding start thinking ICE agents are criminals. They'll start doing even stupider things than they already are and more of them will end up getting shot.
The place to fight against ICE is congress and the courts.
Do you think the ICE agents who shot the nurse are criminals?

Here goes a perfect picture of an assassination.I can't wait until these 2 officers get unmasked. Iwonder how these officers would feel if this were their children or wife.View attachment 137515

What really got to me about this pic (if the part I'm referring to actual), is the executioner is wearing a wedding ring. Maybe a family man and if he is, I feel sick for his kids if they ever get ahold of this graphic display of their father committing murder with the thought in mind that he's going to get away with it because he works directly for Donald Trump, whose hands are also bloodied by his agents' crimes against humanity.

You mean they will start believing the truth that Trump's ICE Agents are criminals? We have laws on the book both federally, and state that can already stop them, which have been getting ignored. The courts you say? We have already seen rulings that not only violate the clear language of the constituion, set presidence and laws created by congress. To the point that it's been ruled that ICE can detain people simply by the color of their skin. Congess is controlled by those that YOU want in office,who are also allowing for Trump's criminals to get away with this. And here you are suggesting that the place to fight ICE is in Congress and the courts, both of whch have already been failing us.

I mean they have reached the same strata, just not with the racists that they want to hang out with (for some inexplicable reason). They just need to realise that the far right politically is not on their side but there's the rest of the political spectrum that's going to treat them the same as anyone else.

Not in the eyes of the Supreme Court who said it's A-OK to racially profile everybody in America just because they are brown. Or the eyes of the media who do unending Trump voter safaris to the palest parts of the country to elevate the opinions of worthless redneck fucks. Or these people:

The mistake non-white people almost always make, except for the vast majority of African Americans who totally know better, is to think this collection of shitheads will ever consider you equal.

I mean a lot of the new ones are literal criminals, in that they have criminal records.

Isn't this exact form of oppressive government the reason why state rights and the 2nd amendment exists?

Heh. You say that like Congress and the Supreme court is some sort of balance to the power of the President at the moment!
How is it oppressive government when they're enforcing the law? Obama did the same thing and no one said a word, he even gave Homan (the guy doing the same job now) a medal for the great job of removing three million illegal's.
We need to be clear about this. The only reason we have people protesting is because it was Trumps plan. If joe Biden had ordered it he would have been praised for the great job he was doing protecting our borders.

ICE agents are criminals. It's just that they are committing crimes against the people you voted to hurt so you're good with it.

This whole post is an accidental indictment of how Trump's government is pointlessly cruel and incompetent since Obama achieved much higher numbers without mass oppression and executing American citizens on the street.

They aren't though. They are picking up people pretty much at random because their agents haven't been trained in the law.
The law isn't just what Millers mouthpiece says it is
Obama did the same thing and no one said a word, he even gave Homan (the guy doing the same job now) a medal for the great job of removing three million illegal's.
There's a difference between picking people up randomly from the streets and disappearing them and enacting specific warrants.

It's because what they are doing is flagrantly not following the law or due process.
Hell they tried to gain entry to the Ecuadorian consultant (presumably because they gave a quick check to their skin colour chart) because they don't understand the limits of their power!

Yes, he won't say it but he likes what's happening. Because admitting it with anything other than silence is too much like taking responsibility for this fact.
