This is what it is to live in a Nazi country
Arm yourself
Expect that when they come for youu, you aren’t coming back.
I am involved with a youth organization with my kids. We’re a very diverse group and so several of my kids friends are very precarious right now. I know at least one who carries 5 forms of ID everywhere outside of his house.
Monsters are running this country,
My daycare closed for a day so they could get their passports "just in case". This shit is infuriating.
1/4 is like 85 million people. some people are saying they aren't concerned since they're citizens but given what Trump has done, that can be stripped away at literally any moment
Meanwhile, I'm concerned about actual citizens being deported.
We can be concerned about anyone being deported
I have a some very close friends who are Venezuelan. They all claim they aren't worried because they are citizens, but I'm not so sure. The MAGA Nazis don't respect Birthright Citizenship, they certainly aren't going to respect naturalization.
Bottom line: If you were born somewhere else, they want you gone.
Hispanic people voting for Trump in 2024 will go down in history as the modern equivalent of the historical "Jews for Hitler" movement.
If that’s the bottom line, the fine print is that the elected American government wants you gone if you aren’t white. They don’t need to work on that layer yet.
Donald Trump could use the N-word on TV tomorrow and it would be accepted.
ICE has deported at least 70 US citizens (Source) The actual number could be wayyyy higher though
I left because I knew they'd be coming for me sooner rather than later. I'm a trans immigrant. I honestly kinda regret my citizenship because it's keeping me chained to the reich even from abroad.
My mom and I are at least two that I know of
Every time I hear sirens, I feel scare af, thinking its the gestapo.
I'm a naturalized citizen btw, but I still don't feel safe (I'm not white).
I'm white AF, and my family has been here since the 1650s on one side, and 1720s on the other side. We literally funded a decent portion of the revolution. I'm still scared. They are coming for everyone that isn't them.
Don't worry, they won't arrive in uniforms with sirens. They'll arrive silently in masks.
Hell, even birthright citizens aren't safe if they are perceived as non-white.
rule number 1 on this sub needs to get fucked.
Were all immigrants.
And birthright citizenship is under attack too.
Since there are no rules and no due process 4 of 4 should be worried. If you think this isnt gonna escalate you are nuts.
Every ICE agent deserves death. We need to normalize this kind of language. I may not be the one to give it to them. But fundamentally, every single ICE agent deserves to hang for their crimes against the Republic. Every last one of them is guilty of treason. They all deserve literal execution.
That is a sharp fucking rise for three months.
Isn't there a german word for it, blitzkrieg?
"Blitzkrieg" is literally "lightning war", and just refers to the style of offense the Germans used against other European countries in WWII, which was largely responsible for their early military success.
Armies at that time relied on stationary positions and slow logistics, horse-drawn carriages for a large portion. The Germans just blitzed into France, through the Maginot line.
Which makes me wonder whether the current idea of MAD holding off war isn't as deluded as relying on the Maginot line. I sure hope it isn't.
Anyway this is more just fascism in general. A fast rise in authoritarianism. Not "war" in the classical sense, although it certainly is basically war.
I have a friend from the Philippines who is in school to be a nurse. When this started, she was scared this was going to affect students which did end up being true later.
A cousin and a friend. Yeah, it crosses my mind.
TIL 3 out of 4 Americans need to get out more.
I mean 2 out of 4 believe the other 2 should be deported. 1 of those 2 don’t know that someone is trying to deport them. That’s the current state of America and how Trump got elected.
Nearly everyone close to me voted for Trump. I fucking hope they get deported.
