This is why we must fight for everyone. Whether they’ve been incarcerated or have had contact with the criminal legal system or are merely undocumented. When you accept that some people are deserving of detention and deportation the scope of who is eligible is always under threat of expanding. - ThreadSky

They disappear citizens all the time. How many people are in Rikers Island or Juvenile Detention centers without a conviction because they can’t afford bail or don’t have adequate legal representation. Or people picked up by ICE that are citizens but get sent away anyway.

The latter doesn’t happen yet. Let’s not normalize fascist shit in advance out of well-intentioned cynicism plz, even if the justice system in America has long been flawed+unfair

A random post on Bluesky is not how I expected to learn that the Silky Shah I knew in middle school and high school had become an ardent and outspoken defender of immigrants. That’s awesome! I’m so proud of this and the work you’re doing!

Exactly. Once autocratic movements take power, there are no limits. It is not a question of “if” they will also start detaining and disappearing citizens, just a question of “when.”

What kills me is that Rufo’s wife is an undocumented immigrant her mom brought from Vietnam

So many MAGA wouldn’t be here were we to enact their policies earlier

And here is the logical follow through of pretending that trans people don't exist.

They'll continue to un-exist everyone that doesn't suit them.

A number of Zionists are dropping terms like "Hamas supporter" as if *any* ideological perspective makes detention and deportation OK?!

If supporters of a genocidal military can walk free on campus, even stalk and harass students, why should resistance supporters be under threat?
