People should imagine what would happen if every immigrant left tomorrow. You think the secret police or camps go away? Me neither. Someone is going in those camps. The private prison companies running them have occupancy requirements in their contracts.

It hasn't been immigration enforcement since it got all that funding. It's now the secret police rounding up brown people to send to camps or deportation prisons overseas, while also brutalizing any who dare oppose it. The faster we all get up to speed the better.
ICE’s job is immigration enforcement so why is it using facial recognition to surveil U.S. citizens?

And this is why "Nuremberg 2, including the part with the executioner who lied on his resume" is the moderate position.
Think about it like this. This ICE agent was on camera and unmasked — fulfilling one of three "demands" Democratic leader Chuck Schumer just issued in order to agree to save Republicans and give DHS even more money.
And he was still threatening to kill someone.

“don’t give them an excuse, they’re waiting for a reason to invoke martial law” too often sounds like “dont make too much trouble or they’ll do to the rest of us what they’re currently doing to brown folks”

We don't want allies, we want accomplices
"I have friends..." jesus fuck are you dense. Pulling the "I have marginalized friends" card without an immediate "so we have to defend them by any means necessary" is exactly a thing a bigot would do. We don't want your words, we want your actions. We don't want allies, we want accomplices.

We aren't even sure the next round of elections are even going to happen, but blue team nerds have, what, a year and a half? to figure out a solution that isn't an actual fascist. The rest of us don't have the luxury of waiting even that long.
The democrats' obsession with running just barely to the left of actual nazis is the real reason we're here. Newsom hates trans people and personally did photo ops destroying houseless encampments. He pals around on nazi podcasts and agrees with them on key issues. Nobody with a conscience wants him

"As many as are brought into being, really." I think we picked the right label
my column in combustion v.5 about when the police did a “wellness check” on me but actually just beat the shit out of me and charged me with two felony counts of assaulting a pig-bastard (which like i’m not even that cool, i wish i actually did that)

There is no reforming the gestapo. There is no reforming the slave catchers.
People that are talking about ICE’s “training” or that they need more should not be listened to. This is what policing is. More training = more money to do exactly what they’re doing now but more “efficiently.”

Violence. How his type of fascism was countered was violence.
This is a version of the phrasing Richard Spencer used right after Trump's first election win back in 2016. His ensuing collapse provides some useful examples for how to counter this type of fascism.
If the Republican Party was an institution suited to hold power in a religiously and culturally pluralistic democracy, it would not allow (let alone encourage) its rising youth to gleefully Hitler post.
FWIW, they have now deleted that post with no apology or explanation.

Dems stood in applause for a US backed coup attempt in 2020. They are no different than Republicans and every single one that supported the Guido coup (and the defacto US declaration of war) can fucking rot in hell. Y'all promised the lives of children and civilians at the altar of capital. Fuck you
