Jesus Christ. JESUS Christ. Jesus CHRIST. Yes, this person is correct, remigration is a white supremacy term for ethnic cleansing, basically. And the Department of Homeland Security, WHICH SHOULDN'T EVEN EXIST, just used the term. An official government account. That is...that is beyond fucked.
A reminder for those who are not aware: "remigration" is the process of deporting all non-white people from a country. It includes citizens and is, by definition, ethnic cleansing.
And to be clear: this is not fake. I just screenshot it myself.

Ever since day one of his second term, Trump has used ‘national emergencies’ to bypass Congress and rule by decree. This week, the Supreme Court will weigh in, and if it sides with him, the decision could pave the way for unchecked presidential power and a slide toward autocratic rule in the U.S.

Make that nine anti-abortion judges: Collins just voted to confirm Joshua Dunlap to the First Circuit court of Appeals
So far in 2025, Collins has voted to confirm at least eight explicitly anti-abortion judges to lifetime seats on the federal judiciary. It seems plausible Collins knows she’s likely to lose next November and isn't even trying to court voters anymore. It’s no longer of concern to her.
NEW: Susan Collins, who claims to be pro choice, is raising money for an anti-abortion candidate who’s slated to lose the Virginia governor's race. A donor email sent on behalf of Winsome Earle-Sears comes as Collins' approval rating has plummeted to net negative 20 points. Me in @newrepublic.com:
