    Keep in mind, these democrat moves to bolster ICE were happening while the right was blatantly telegraphing their moves to immediately weaponize ICE once they took power. Project 2025 came out and promised to use ICE to plunder and abuse Americans. Biden and team then spent the next 4 years not only failing to prepare for Trump, but preemptively strengthening the mechanisms Trump would eventually use to carry out project 2025. The democrats are controlled opposition.

    Sure, maybe we wouldnt be seeing this intense of immigration enforcement if Kamala were in charge, but if she were, she'd be working behind the scenes to ensure the right had all the tools they needed when the time was right.

    The democrats are controlled opposition and the American electoral system is kabuki theater. The fascist descent is the only logical conclusion to the American political experiment- which was predicated on the wholesale genocide of Native American Indians and quickly pivoted to enslaving an entire continent.

    You realize what the only logical conclusion to your "pragmatic liberal utilitarianism" is, right? I give it 4 years before youre chiding leftists for not voting for dem candidate Ted Cruz as he campaigns against republican candidate Mecha Hitler. Youll still see nothing wrong with that. You will sell out the victims of American Imperialism to buy yourself 4 more years of political waffling - just as you did with Palestinians.

  • Minnesota Is Just the Beginning. California and New York Are ‘Next’ | The Trump administration appears to be planning to leverage the same playbook used in Minnesota to go after other blue states.

    Jump

  • Thinking that ICE's collapse is a forgone conclusion seems dangerous given how quickly they're filling their ranks, and because of how much they are improving their strategies in the Minnesota demo. We should all be on the same page and understand that ICE's power will flourish and their strategies will be refined in coming months. It's time to prepare for a future in which ICE is successful, not cling to the hope that ICE is somehow doomed to fail.

  • What kind of new age cope is this?

    Trump does something shitty

    well, at least that's not as bad as this strawman about North Korea that I just made up.

    Just letting your unabashed orientalism known to the world.

    On top of this, the sheer amount of outrage over this act which had no material effect is baffling. People are so obsessed with optics, decorum, and civility that a middle finger is condemned nearly as hard as withholding healthcare from millions of Americans, or, you know, fascism rocketing towards us at Mach 10.

  • The 2013 to 2015 era is especially heinous.

    2013: Obama appoints Tom Homan (current border Czar) to run ICE.

    2014: Homan goes on record saying that separating children from parents is an effective means to discourage illegal border crossings.

    2015: Obama awards Homan a Presidential Rank Award??

  • Why do democrats need to earn your fucking vote

    Because thats.... how representative democracy works?

    You are taking the position right now that America's descent into fascism can be attributed to Muslim and Arab Americans in Dearborn who decided not to vote for Kamala after she promised to kill their brothers and sisters in Palestine and Lebanon with an extraordinarily "lethal military". These people are the true fascists, according to you.

    Once again, I encourage you to try to understand history in a context that goes back more than two years.

    What we are seeing now is not a new brand of Trumpist imperialism; instead, we are seeing textbook American Imperialism. It's as American as apple pie.

    I get it. The liberal perspective is not easily palatable right now. In the east, youre getting your lunch eaten by communists who are quickly rising to become the world leader. In the west, fascist elements are eating your lunch as they gain massive ground from Austria to Germany to Britain. And so you flail. You flail to try to understand how this is happening. The liberal philosophy purports that the wheels of history and progress are always moving forward, so what gives? How are we going backwards? Could it be that two hundred years of withered social safety nets, deteriorating education, evasive retirement, withheld wages, weak representation, crumbling infrastructure and transportation, and rampant voter disenfranchisement? No... it is the western communists and Russian bots that are to blame. America has always been wholesome big chungus, and Trump is simply a minor glitch that we will soon find ourselves free from once he dies, and everything can go back to normal.

    Get real, friend. The communists and leftists are your only way out of this one. The same folks, who, by the way, have been warning for nearly 200 years that the American political experiment was doomed to descend into fascism.

  • trump was a known evil.

    So why did democrats do jack shit to prepare? Why did Biden do absolutely nothing for 4 years to protect against a fascist descent that was rocketing towards us at mach 10? Why did democrats decide that perpetrating a genocide in Palestine meant more than winning a monumental election?

  • Do you seriously think fascism is a result of voter apathy? Voter apathy is a result of fascism.

    The path we're on now was paved by James Monroe. This is the only logical conclusion to the American political experiment. I encourage you to try to understand these stories under a context that goes further back than 2 years.

  • I dont mean to detract from your point at all here... In fact, PSL is my favorite org in recent memory, but I have yet to join out of fear.

    I hope this comment doesn't come across as FUD because I certainly don't want to steer people away from organizing, but.... do you ever fear that getting your name on paperwork in one of these orgs could jeopardize your safety? Shit is happening so fast in America right now that I am straight up afraid of organizing. Im thinking of a scenario where PSL headquarters gets raided, and everyone who shows up on an active members list gets shipped to El Salvador.

    Kind of a disjointed reply, but I guess all I really wanted to say is that shit is getting really scary right now, and I'm not even part of a vulnerable group. I'm afraid.

    Maybe the answer is that, yes, joining a leftist organization during fascist descent does incur massive risks, but that is the necessary burden that American leftists must take for the sake of the people we are oppressing? Maybe now is the time to be brave?

  • BREAKING: Death toll from US operation in Venezuela has risen to 80, according to New York Times report.

  • To be clear, American meddling in Latam is not something that Trump introduced or invented.

    Trump's recent meddling and murder in Venezuela is the culmination of two hundred of years of American foreign policy that both Democrats and Republicans have condoned at the behest of their corporate overlords. The Venezuela debacle is not a Trump thing. It's an American thing that has its roots in the Monroe doctrine, and yes, including Obama.
