(which is to say: any form of immunity for law enforcement crimes at all. We need to end that.)

This fact alone is consciousness of guilt and tampering with evidence, or would be if we didn’t have an idiotic facistic level of immunity for law enforcement crimes in this country.

Everyone in politics, everyone in media knows what’s happening here: the White House is controlled by a repellant white supremacist who waits with bated breath for any opportunity to run nonwhite people out of America. They know who it is, what he’s doing. But they won’t SAY it.
Trump: “I will permanently pause migration from all Third World Countries … denaturalize migrants who undermine domestic tranquility, and deport any Foreign National who is a public charge, security risk, or non-compatible with Western Civilization.“

Among other things, the (nebulous but clearly unconstitutional) attack on naturalized US citizens contained in this screed is a significant escalation.

This dude was vetted six ways from Sunday. Can’t say he wasn’t vetted enough. Vetted by multiple administrations.

This whole thing is racist, but take particular note of the threat of denaturalization. That's stripping people of their citizenship, and that's the road to mass murder and atrocity.

And last night’s EO, which of course doesn’t carry the weight of law, is nonetheless an indicator that they intend to strip naturalized US citizens of their citizenship for any reason they choose, and send people they deem undesirable to camps and/or to their deaths here or abroad.

They will take every incident as an opportunity to ramp up violence against marginalized people.

Miller will not be satisfied until this nation is in final solution territory against every immigrant.

They are showing us that daily.

We can’t fight it if we don’t speak it. This is where we are.

The fucking irony of this Jew to cape Third Reich white supremacist talking points BECAUSE his grandparents could assimilate into US culture when whiteness expanded just enough for them.

(One day he might find that this same conditional whiteness he was granted is more conditional+ less secure.)
Stephen Miller is now arguing that assimilation is fundamentally impossible and that certain cultures are not compatible with Western civilization

Seems like all the fascists in charge had a really shitty Thanksgiving because everyone hates them and now they’re taking it out on marginalized people as per usual, and this is but one reason why they must never, never, never be permitted to take power ever again.

Same. I’m so angry about it. The US made him, granted him asylum, then threatened Afghan asylum status, and this outcome is the result.

None of this happened in a vacuum.
The DC shooting story is really getting to me because we literally trained this man as a child soldier for a death squad in a forever war and Stephen Miller et al want to blame it on other cultures? It's our culture, American culture, that killed that woman.

This is the result of the CIA using children to kill people and yet a whole lot of people don’t want to recognize *American* culture, and in particular the culture of the War on Terror, at work here.

You cannot look at the shooting in DC without this context and expect to be taken seriously. This IS the context.

This country & its violence & war creates broken people.

And then Trump has the nerve to deny our vets care & our allies asylum for themselves and their families, and instead he and Miller blame the entire Afghani culture for what the US did.

We made broken soldiers. We broke them. WE DID THAT.

I have an extended family member who did three tours in Afghanistan starting at 18.

He is now in prison for killing his landlord. He came home with severe PTSD and drug addiction followed.

Afghans (esp kids) who were used by our government in furtherance of this endless war experienced the same.

A veteran moving to the Pacific Northwest, then driving to DC to stage a mass shooting of government agents? Sounds like he assimilated into American culture pretty successfully.
