i have argued before that MAGA is recapitulating antebellum pro-slavery ideas about citizenship and bodily autonomy. one thing i am also thinking about, when it comes to the rendition of people to a foreign gulag, is the way it is reminiscent of the kidnapping of free blacks for sale into slavery

It turns my stomach.
My insides clench in rage.
a slave, or slaves, into the King’s dominions shall
ever enjoy any civil or political rights in this
realm.
but they will legalize torture and do away with consent.
And don't THINK she's taking about making iPhones..
Dismantling white privilege in our selves and as a collective is a necessary component to dismantling racist systems and embedded policies.
They are saying that
1. They are considering trafficking citizens.
2. They say they have 0 power to get ppl back.
They’ve not deported those ppl they sent them all to a prison. Absent conviction. Absent CHARGE

*faints*
And it can happen to anyone.
Can’t wait for the Orange titty-sucking crybaby’s one-way ticket to an El Salvador Putt-Putt Course.
Last I checked, the rights of private citizens couldn't be stripped away.
It’s with this knowledge that I get a bit hopeless because there’s a realization that no matter how good people present themselves to be. Millions actively support chattel slavery’s return and millions more do not care.
It's the opposite of humanist philosophy. It's not insanity, it's just an old evil we never really addressed.
Every evil they can perpetrate they are perpetrating.
“…advisers, including…Stephen Miller…advocate for…denaturalization and deporting…individuals whom they label as having committed so-called “fraud” on their applications for citizenship by subsequently supporting…”pro-terrorist” causes…similar to…pro-Palestine student activists…”

And are they being paid in US dollars and/or crypto?
I'm hungry this is insane.
Do not go quietly when approached by masked thugs.
Got that right.
As usual.
they're beyond putrid, and this WH uses them as lolz
the fall of this country is astounding
Where is the rest of the world? Until recently, while the US did terrible things, they also helped a lot of people. Now we are being spit on because we are Nazi-occupied.
Is there even such a thing as international law?
Serious questions here.
😐
1. Project possibilities of P2025 fascism to scare America
2. Push (P2025) executive orders
3. Always undermine the Rule of Law to the public
4. Trump (P2025) cannot be questioned
5. Agitate the population with corruption
6. We march
Martial law
The end
Completely incongruous with de naturalization efforts as well as policies aimed at students
there’s a good chance they’ll have violated one or more of our anti-slavery statutes.
Congress should not abuse its naturalization power to deny federal citizenship to citizens of states.
Holy shit.
It's possible that no one has ever been released.
Conflicting info.
I'm inclined to believe Human Rights Watch.
This is evil to the 10th degree.
These kidnappings are WAY out of control; I find this particular issue far more scary than GOP insider trading!

Don’t let this happen.
the journey of a thousand victims starts with one step.
He could easily have Garcia on the plane with him. I mean, this dictator will be here ON MONDAY.
I've thought this for a while, before he even got back into office.
"The craziest part [of their agenda] is to reform and close the prisons. So what do you do with the impure? You reinstitute slavery, and capital punishment[.]"

Is Trump paying per prisoner?
How exactly does the Art of the Deal work between the two countries as human lives are traded for favors.

I'm sick over everything he's done, but my god, This One!
Crimes against humanity, he needs to be hauled before the Hague.
Today please~
Between Rendition and the SAVE Act we will get there. Heather has excellent points about showing up. We protest it means we take away our consent to be governed.

When this was happening in Serbia, the Serbian people would literally surround the police stations and prisons until the victim was released.
As with restrictions on abortions.
Just like the shot to the ear, an epic concealment of information
Critical thinking and the use of empirical evidence may become some of our best survival skills.

We need to stop invoking religion of any kind as part of a solution to anything. The "good" religious people are vastly outnumbered and always fighting a losing battle. And they always have been.
We would be way better off today
