Surely some of ICE too. But most obviously, these are also the kind seen in the Young Repubs group chat that was exposed yesterday.
There is no better time than now to expose them and try to do something about them, while some Rs are still caught flatfooted and trying to disavow them.

We're a solid nine months into an unapologetic nazi US regime and the bulk of US liberals and media are still denying it.

I just checked and this is real. It's on Border Patrol's official Instagram (I don't see it on Facebook) and is being celebrated by Nazis on Twitter, as you can see in the screenshot.

The clip is just 13 seconds long too, so it's a very intentional thing. We've got a Nazi government.

Incredibly, this was posted two months ago, and it seems like the progressive sphere just didn't notice it till today, when actively on the lookout for Nazis.

Disgusting as it is, this was posted two months ago and it seems progressives just didn't notice it till now. It's had time to accrue all this garbage.
(I had previously presumed that it was DHS' real-time reaction to *today's* Young Republican revelations.)

The Repubs are divided between fuddyduddyish true believers who think they're pro-Jewish, even if they believe tons of bunk (e.g. Trump himself, Kushner, Graham)...

...and smirking Fuentes N*zis who are confident the true believers have no idea what they're up to. These = DHS social media, DOGE. >

This is the GOP brand now.
This and the Young Republicans chat.

A brand this tarnished, smeared with this much shit of ugliness and cruelty and hate and spite should be slinking into extinction. Yet they wield enormous power and millions support it.

My brain cannot process.

These are Republican alpha men, that want to bring back slavery, put opponents in gas chambers and rape women.

Democrats need to put the same extended media consuming outrage into the Young Republican Nazi chats as Republicans mustered for Biden going for ice cream.

Democrats shouldn't let go of these Young Republican messages.

Have the right-wing defend it. The VP, JD Vance, already has, and the talking points have been delivered to the MAGA base.

They keep deflecting and doing both sides, but nothing is comparable.

Just keep it in the news.

Vance, miserable liar that he is, referred to these bigoted, Nazi-flavored Young Republican posts as a "college group chat."

But most of the quoted in the Politico article are GROWN ADULTS with JOBS.

Netanyahu *blows up* entire apartment buildings with the excuse that one terrorist leader was in there—so apparently the rest of the building's residents are deserving not even of imprisonment on flimsy charges, but death.

That is the behavior Trump would ultimately like to emulate.

Unfortunately, "clinging to power by force" describes the gerontocrats running our party, too. Senators and delegates are clearly too uncomfortable to turn on them.
The basic problem isn't just that Trump, Vance, and Miller are tyrants, but that the opposition, strong in 2017, is compromised now.

Hey. Hi. Tom Homan is on camera taking a $50k bribe and no one knows where the money went. If this was any other administration, this would be non-stop on the news. Why are we normalizing this stuff?

I'm not disagreeing. I've screamed at them. I've disowned one or two. But unfortunately, they were/are normal voters who were deluded by a false story that centrist Dem consultants clumsily made look believable.

Here was another of those consultants (thread):

Harris wasn't keen on Garin's demands at first (link), but days later she and Walz began acting markedly pressured to follow them—Walz acting genteel in the debate and Harris campaigning with Cheney, while Garin cheered... and Harris' poll rise flatlined. www.cnn.com/2024/08/18/p...

JD Vance can dismiss the Young Republicans as a college group chat.

But let's be clear: the group chat includes a State Senator, a Trump Admin official, and multiple Republican staffers — and some of the worst comments came from folks associated with Mike Johnson, Elise Stefanik, and Mike Lawler.

(And yes, there were in reality many causes for her loss; arguably, swing-state vote-rigging by Musk, or Joe Rogan's endorsement bringing out tons of young men, might be the ultimate reason Trump won, or appeared to win.
But I *watched* Harris lose a ton of voters on I/P. That enabled the rest.)

Here's what was going on behind the scenes when she stopped being vocally critical (link).
I had to watch some of my progressive friends genuinely get fooled into believing she was pro-Netanyahu. A few *still* think she would have been no better than Trump on I/P. It's tragic. It is why she lost.

The official government account for DHS appears to be run by far-right trolls deliberately trying to provoke a response by using a term openly associated with ethnic cleansing. They will attack anyone who points this out and express faux outrage at the suggestion. They know what they are doing.

Remigration Wikipedia Page.

Not to be confused with Return migration.
Remigration is an originally European far-right proposal of ethnic cleansing via the mass deportation of non-white immigrants and their descendants, sometimes including those born in Europe, to their place of racial ancestry.
It is popular especially within the Identitarian movement. Some proponents of remigration suggest excluding some persons with non-European background from such a mass deportation, based on a varyingly defined degree of assimilation into European culture.
