They’ve already picked up people with proof of citizenship on them, claiming they thought the papers were fake. And once you’re picked up, there’s no due process so there’s no chance for you to prove your citizenship before they chuck you into a camp.

And if that camp is in another country like El Salvador, they’ll tell the judge there’s nothing they can do because US laws don’t apply in El Salvador.

This is probably the most annoying part about right-winged nutjobs. They scream and howl about censorship and “the left” taking away their free speech. Now that the right-winged nutjobs are in charge, they take away much more than just free speech. And they’re still the victims…

Neither will the color of your skin.

That’s part of why everyone should have cared about BLM, even for purely selfish reasons. The cops will kill you if they don’t like you. They have enough room to not like black people AND to not like you.

How much more risk are they really taking if they report a random, white citizen vs a brown green card holder? Neither is legal. Does it matter.

I don’t know why people think they’re safe just because they’re not a minority. Our police problem has spread. Now it’s the cops, ICE, half the judges, and the administration.

The only difference is that Americans have guns just like the cops for this exact reason.

If the outcome is dying in a prison for speaking out, don’t let them take you alive. use that second ammendment to take out some fascists instead.

Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit:

There must be in-groups whom the law protectes but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.

But every conservative thinks they’re part of the in-group.

“He’s not hurting the people he needs to be hurting.”
