The canary has been screaming its lungs out since Bill Clinton introduced his racist anti-immigrant bill in 1997, but both Republicans and Democrats have not only ignored its cries, but hastened its situation. Both parties have created this. Don't think this won't affect us all.
First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.
—Martin Niemöller
First they came for the immigrants, and I did not speak out—because I was not an immigrant.
Then they came for the women, and I did not speak out—because I was not a woman.
Then they came for the trans, and I did not speak out—because I was not a trans.
Then they came for the PoC, and I did not speak out—because I was not a PoC.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.
— DeceptichumAre you seriously both sidesing this shit?
Politicians do not serve your interests. They serve their own, and they serve their masters.
Your side actually consists of your fellow workers. The other side consists of the capitalist class who are fucking you over and robbing you blind. National level politicians are members of the capitalist class.
When you get upset at "both sidesing" it's because you haven't internalized what the sides actually are.

You mean the Blue Business Party of Rich People and their Owners and the Red Business Party of Rich People and their Owners are not actually on the side of the working class?
Yeah. What the fuck, lol. So this happened under Biden too, huh?
Obama deported more than any president before him.
He was the one who initially hired Homan. The guy doing this shit now. You know, the asshole bitching that people are telling other people what their rights are.
So yeah. It did happen, and it continues to happen. One side just "acts civilly" while enabling fascism, the other side actively advances it.
The acceptance of fascist arguments prima facie: "immigration is a problem," "immigrants do more crime," and other fascist narratives rather than rejecting them results in the advancement of fascist narratives.
The war has been on since the beginning, and we're gonna keep losing as long as they keep us talking about everything but the money vs the rest of us.
I'm not sure we all understand how the whole "canary in a coal mine" thing works
This is BS.
Do not need your passport between US & PR.
Fuck this crap.
It was never about immigration. I live in South Dakota, and I've heard stories of Native American people being questioned. "I'm just against illegal immigration" was always a racist dogwhistle.
Multiple legal citizens have been detained by ICE and asked for their passport as proof of citizenship. Communities around me are now getting their passports specifically to avoid the fate of their family.
I'd love to call BS but they don't let you film I'm that area soooo
A boomer from Arkansas racist? Color me shocked... Good old slick willy.
Very small note, I love she ended with lol cause of how unbelievable this shit is.
This seems like rage bait.
