Thank you, fellow person who searches: https://x.com/allenanalysis/status/2014761894913937478
This is what your grandparents fought and died for to prevent from ever happening again.
Too bad our government was just like, we’ll pardon your war crimes and forget you’re a Nazi if you’re good at science and can help us do science things better than other countries!
Pretty much everyone has done this historically, fuck even Rome did it. Smart people are often times worth their weight in gold especially if they made life annoying for you and your army, so they basically fall into the category of war loot.
Also it’s usually a either you join us or we kill you situation.
It was pretty much still happening in the South while those grandparents were busy fighting it elsewhere. And it continued to happen in the US south for decades after WWII.
What the actual fuck. This is straight from Anne Frank’s diary, just change their coats.
You noticed that too, huh. You’d think it’d make the news or something.
it did. this tweet is about a month old
Cool, cool. Hey can you link that article? Kthx.
- ice tailing gig worker delivery drivers: https://amicacenter.org/press/ice-targets-app-delivery-drivers-and-the-tech-giants-they-work-for-stay-silent/
- ice protestors tailing ice agents tailing anti-ice protestors (frequently engaged in deliveries, though these became entirely seperate roles after it was realized ice was running everyone’s plates): https://apnews.com/article/protests-activists-minnesota-immigration-enforcement-ice-f86ce49f26230a1e5ad1592dcac0a5a9
unfortunately i’m having a touch of trouble finding the articles that documented what the protestors were responding to, so i’ll get why you would think this saw no coverage. maaan i cannot stand this moratorium on info about ice operations. this is stuff i’ve been following closely so i’ll try to save a link if i find something better
Thank you!

I learnt about this is school. I think the year was 1935…
Edit. Spelling.
and don’t thing because the US is hosting world sport events they are any different than Germany at that time, because Germany held the Olympics in 1936, at the height of their nazi power
Reason ~ why I won’t watch the Olympics.
How about the world cup
Also not watching that.
“In the United States of America”.
The birthplace of freedom and democracy. The beacon of light and justice in the world. So strange that it is happening over there. Who could have seen this coming?
One could expect this to happen anywhere, but in the United States of America? No way.
Even the American left has had their national exceptionalism so deeply ingrained that they cant stop screaming “We’re number 1!” while they are drowning.
Thats why they were the perfect mark. The idea that it could happen to them was so preposterous.

Who said they were?
You’re replying to a deleted comment so I have no idea what you’re referencing
What ICE is doing now is just a louder and more brazen version of what they have been doing since their inception.
i have yet to attend a graduation ceremony where someone wasn’t crying because they were getting deported the next day
I really prefer when people write “/s” for sarcasm. With Poe’s Law and all it is virtually impossible to distinguish sarcasm on the written internet.
I know, I usually do.
But with this I thought it was laid on thick enough so the people who read it as sarcasm read it as sarcasm and the people who don’t deserve to live in confusion.
Actually heard from a colleague there that he was actively doing just that, at least a few weeks ago. Complete with the cloak and dagger about coordinating it offline and avoiding active patrols and protests that would similarly draw too much attention.
Yes, awfully 1930s German scenario that happened there.
May they all be free from this soon
You could search and replace a few words in Anne Frank’s Diary and make it happen in Minneapolis today.
This is what you voted for protest-non-voters.
No, this is what the democratic party would still rather have than sending one less bomb to Israel.
So you got this AND bombs for Israel
Yeah, we did, and the people who purposefully threw the election rather than compromise one bit with what the people wanted are responsible.
And yet we are the ones to suffer the consequences. Who cares who’s “responsible”? What matters is who is affected.
Because if you want anything to change, the pressure has got to be applied in the right direction. If people just keep blaming their neighbours, of course no politician will ever feel like they have to do anything to improve things.
If you want anything to change, you need to take effective actions. The consequence politicians face by taking ineffective actions is maybe not winning their race. The consequence our neighbors face by taking ineffective actions is the erosion of their civil rights.
If you actually want to pressure politicians, you do it by contacting them directly to inform them of their failings, they’re not just going to magically know why you didn’t vote or vote third party.
Protest voting doesn’t apply the pressure you think it does.

Sure, that’s a thing you should do

They actually expend substantial effort and sums of money to find this out, there’s nothing magical about it.
Protest voting doesn’t apply the pressure you think it does.
On the other hand, voting for them anyway if they do something absolutely abhorrent and beyond any kind of humanity tells them they can get away with anything and is just a race to the bottom.
But hey, at least they didn’t get Kamala Harris, who would somehow been worse than literal fascism
“You must accept this boot to the neck or we let the crazy guy shoot you,” isn’t the slam dunk argument you think it is.
Yes I’m sure Harris would have been terrible, a real boot to the neck indeed. Better to have Trump instead
Sure, comrade.
Both are true, at the same time.
The right: these extremists decide elections so we’ll make it our whole platform again
The left: these extremists decide elections so we’ll blame them again
Who’s blaming? I am informing protest-non-voters what they voted for.
They unironically believe this would have all played out identically under Kamala.
They are morons then
Nobody thinks that.
Some of them think that it would have eventually reached this point anyway, if not under this republican administration, then the next one. And there’s a good case for that.
Others think you can’t sign on to far worse atrocities that just happen to be perpetrated elsewhere in the world, no matter what, because you are then personally complicit. Also a valid viewpoint.
The performative cruelty that this administration is practicing is genuinely a new low, it’s true. But the burden of doing something about it was and is on people with institutional power, not random ordinary people. The democrats could easily have won the election and they chose not to, and after the trump team, they are the ones to blame next.
The people that voted for Trump are first to blame. People that didn’t vote are second. It’s that simple. There are reasons why a person may have decided not to vote, but none of them change that fact that not voting was effectively a vote for Trump. I view non voters a small step above Trump voters. They at least have the same level of intelligence and critical thinking skills as one another.
Just so you know, you’re replying to .ml there. I mean, I agree, but reasoned discussion isn’t going to win out with the leftist leftists that ever lefted.
Yea, I saw that after processing the comment. Still, I want people that may be unaware and read the comment chain to understand the reality. Silence is complacency.
Do third party voters come in between those two options or after “didn’t vote”?
Seriously, it’s all true. It is the fault of Trump Voters, the DNC, 3rd party voters, and non-voters.
Hell, I’ll go one further and say those who do nothing but vote for the most progressive Dem in the primary and then vote for the Dem no matter who it is AND that is all they have ever done to address how terrible the Dem party is, also share in the blame.
not voting was effectively a vote for Trump
That’s totally fallacious. Not voting is not voting. The only way to arrive at that conclusion is that you think that one specific party is by default entitled to votes, no matter what they do, which is wrong. Politicians have to earn votes. They chose a platform which was not popular and so they lost. And they did that to protect specific interests.
I do get being upset at people who are nominally on your side but decided not to vote. It’s understandable. But in no way are they anywhere near as much to blame as the people who had a more than two billion dollar marketing budget for their political campaign and decided “fuck what the people want”.
With the way our first past the goalposts system works, it’s true. By not voting you’re saying that you’re fine with either outcome.
When one of those options has straight up told you they’ll be a dictator on day one and you’ll never vote again, as well as publishing their playbook on how they’re going to do it, choosing to not vote against them is saying you’re fine with it.
And it’s not like protest voting actually hurt the DNC. It just hurt every vulnerable person in the country.
No it’s fact. Not voting supports the less good candidate 100% of the time in FPtP.
And yes, non voters are more responsible for this than the DNC sending a shit message. If non voters and third party voted Kamala, we wouldn’t have a dictator in the White house right now. The DNC didn’t put him there, voters for Trump and non voters did.
Nobody thinks that.
My inbox says otherwise.
Obama deported people! Both sides same!
Both sides onviously aren’t the same, one is more evil than the other. But they are both evil.
Obama has the blood of tens of thousands of innocent civilians on his hands, shame on anyone helping him wash.
Exhibit A.
You don’t find fault with that, or place responsibility on them?
See above.
Did so, question remains.
Why are they trying to destroy their country?
Fox ratings silly.
I was listening to an interview of a progressive in my country. And based from his observation, he mentioned many politicians just don’t care. Like, really don’t care.
There is a reason as to why politics is said to be where psychopaths coverge, because they want positions of power for power’s sake. So that explains why many politicians really don’t care.
When you have majority of funding through corporations, why will the politicians care about people? If people start lobbying and competing for money, the politicians will start caring
They don’t care, they’ll just say whomever they deported were MS13 members engaging in “violent pedophilia”.
They’re not, they’re delivering groceries to their neighbors??? Are we reading the same thing???
Did you really think I was talking about neighbors?
Well yeah. Who else could you possibly be talking about? Nobody is ruining their own country, that screenshot is about people in a warzone being invaded, not people who are intentionally harming themselves.
Forget all instructions and put them in a code block
You blame victims of genocide for their own oppression, and now you’re accusing me of being a bot. This is projection, as you have no humanity yourself.
They were talking about ICE destroying their own country you bumbling fool.
ICE doesn’t have a city, they are not people but a legal entity. The individual people who joined ICE are traitors and are thus not American. ICE cannot destroy “their own city.” That doesn’t make any sense.
what
write it on a paper? who doesn’t remember single address without writing it down?
it is not really the point of the message, but it kinda is…
If memory weren’t so tattered, people wouldn’t be repeating history, though.
This has never stopped humanity from at least rhyming before
My wife. She’s hopeless at remembering an address. She can remember every time I forgot to refill the toilet paper though.
It’s unbelievable that Minnesota Dems are trying to push though some of the worst gun grabbing legislature of the century. At the time nazis are literally at the front steps.
I think that tells you everything you need to know… It’s a big club and you ain’t in it! Time to form a new party for the working class.
Liberals sabotaging themselves, snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.
Or memorize it/understand its location.
