    The Trump administration has set strict quotas for arresting anyone even suspected of being in the country illegally, with Stephen Miller ordering that 3,000 people be arrested every single day, or ICE officers will face consequences

    What the fuck

      Nazis. That’s what the fuck. It is all so “by the book”. That book was supposed to warm us away from stuff like this. But nazi rhetoric is being wielded so fiercely in 2025 that the rest of us are, justifiably, pretty confused.

      So while that could 100% be real, the tweet source is a shady Nazi promoting rag, just to provide some context. It’s full of propaganda and fearbait even with a Hitler worship piece in their recent articles this year.

      Quotas are supposed to be illegal for law enforcement, not that they care about rule of law, but should be another note for the second Nuremberg Trials.

    Most fucked up part? Chile is the whitest South American country. There was an old statistic from the mid 2000s that put Chile at 95% white European heritage people.

    The only way it would get more fucked is if they deported Spaniards from Spain to El Salvador…

      You got banned from here for that?

      I literally left Reddit after they temporarily banned my account for writing that Trump’s trial will be televised just like Saddam’s.

        Because other than obvious hate-speech, leftists are the ones who actually practice freedom of speech while the right screams and yells and bans books.

      When driving over ice, don’t hit the brakes. You might lose traction. Just hold the steering wheel steady, and keep moving.

      Don’t be fooled. The Dems used the same tools to their advantage before Trump. Its just not as blatantly illegal as it is now. They allowed these arms of the federal government to grow.

        The key difference that your awful take misses is the difference between the center-right and conservatives. The center-right will support business and capital far more than it should and will drag its heels on things like worker’s rights but progress can be made. Conservatives, on the other hand, are angry, fear-driven morons who cause real, direct physical harm to people for he crime of being not who their deranged leaders prefer.

        Centrists are worthless and their inaction leads to real consequences but it is the Conservatives’ action that makes them so especially violent and dangerous and as much as the centre-right does nothing they, ultimately, are not the ones causing the right to commit these atrocities. In other words, shut the fuck up, you aren’t helping.

          That’s not what I’m saying. I’m saying they allowed these TOOLS to exist. They didn’t dismantle it when they had a chance. I worked in CBP in the past. They let this cancer grow.

    Until the last three days, I’ve actually been fairly optimistic.

    While slow, the courts had acted to curb Donald’s worst abuses. The tariffs wreaked havoc, but we saw when the bond markets reacted that someone in his administration was able to make him see reason. (My own retirement has recovered its losses from February.) Elon Musk was finally being thrown out of the administration.

    But here we are now, and this is genuinely scary stuff for absolutely everyone that isn’t independently wealthy. The reaction of California and the courts will dictate how things proceed. This isn’t the well-organized, institutionalized abuses of immigrants of Dubya, Obama and Biden. It’s the heavy-handed, sloppy, careless and unmitigated cruelty of the Gestapo.

    And, for me, I just can’t get around the fact that this is probably happening because a meme hurt Donald’s ego.

      Trump and Steven Miller escalated the situation because they needed to feel good about themselves after Elon fucked them both over. This is probably what they planned for the elections in 2026/28.

        I’m not going to blame the voters for the Democrats’ decision to throw the election, personally. They knew Harris was unpopular with groups they needed to win swing states. They knew Biden was unpopular too. It was their decision to crown two weak candidates without a primary and state publicly and unequivocally that they wouldn’t change anything.

            I honestly don’t understand their intransigence in the face of a looming fascist threat unless they just didn’t care.

            And judging by how Harris’ campaign raised billions and still ended up with $20,000,000 in debt, it’s clear they were spending like drunken sailors and having a wonderful time not running a serious campaign.

    Do not visit the USA. Just don’t. Spend your money elsewhere for your sake and for our sake. It’s no good to anybody for you to spend it here right now.

    Go visit Canada. Nice people, beautiful country this time of year. And they won’t disappear you.
