Aside from the cruelty, if we don’t make them uphold the law, we will have no country left. Anyone can become a target. That is not the country we want.
Neither will I, and I’m Canadian. I’ve been screaming into the void for 10 years that Adolph Trump is a Nazi, and people said I was being hyperbolic. No. No I wasn’t. I was merely a student of history.
I somehow saw the interview with Howard Stern years and years ago. The way he talked about women gave me face-punching fantasies. I’m the radical feminist that all of MAGA hates. I think women should have equal rights, and they don’t.
All true. When I saw him he reeked of narcissism and entitlement . He is a lot worse now than he was then. He does hate woman and men like him flock to his side.
But Mehdi, thinking far ahead, how to re-unify (or "unify") a country where there is such a sizable partisan split among voters? My uneducated guess is to have some form of Truth and Reconciliation process which of course would require forgiveness as a key step.
Most in people in America will not care, even the ones against trump right now. He wasn't an American, he is brown and poor. American's even the "left" of center ones do not know a world exists outside your borders. Even now as your allies are lining up against you.
Medhi, it's completely inexcusable but, please do not become bitter. Remembering and not trusting people who arrange such cruelty is only right. Don't burden yourself with unforgiveness.
Remember Latinos for Trump? Most Latinos voted for this guy because they thought it doesn't affect them, they just hated the others.I hope every Latino Trump voter will suffer the harshest consequences of this terrible choice they made.
Yet he has two pedophiles released back to our country and releases all of the insurrectionists. trelon and his thugs are the most despicable people on this planet. Vile!
I believe that the worst of them are the Brownshirts carrying it all out.
These renditions are not legal, the ICEholes know it, and they snatch people off the streets, out of their homes, from their work and even at their immigration appointments anyway.
You don’t realize it but every time you communicate to the world that somehow that Biden/Harris and democrats for all their flaws are somehow comparable to this terror you empower the terror.
It was never about gang affiliations or tattoos. They were seeing if they could get away with denying people due process. It's an experiment, and the deportees are guinea pigs.
Yesterday, a coworker told us that her husband had a serious car accident. Months long recovery that will include a substantial period at a rehab facility.
Then she mentioned he was asking the hospital staff if they retrieved his MAGA hat from the wreck every ounce of sympathy evaporated.
It's unbelievable how many people i know that would have cheered on the Nazis. It saddens me to see them suffer and not acknowledge this is the pain they wished on the people they even never met.
My husband and I agreed when our kids were little that we would never reject them if they ever came out as LBGTQ+ but one thing I thought of as an exception tonight. If one of my kids ever became an ICE agent. They would no longer be a child of mine. Never.
I get a legit stomach ache every time I think about this. I hope against hope that a judge orders all of them to be brought back for due process 🙏
Then the monsters who participated in this in any way, gets what they deserve.
It’s not hyperbole when I say reading about these arrests and the Turkish student detained by masked men and transported 1400 miles away is akin to 1930’s Germany. I’d currently feel safer visiting China.
A Turkish student wrote an op-ed. ICE revoked her visa & abducted her—no hearing, no due process, no exit option. Just silenced. This is not border control. This is political punishment. And if words are a crime now, we are all in danger. This is fascism in plain sight.

I will never forgive them either. People need to start speaking openly about the fascism, kidnapping & imprisonment of innocent people… killing civilians and laughing about it on an illegal text chat.
These are not normal human behaviors. These are sociopathic behaviors.
I feel the same way and feel like my heart will be broken until I leave this planet..it goes against humanity and everything I believe in, in this country and my values, it brings anger into my heart, I don’t wish to carry.
This barely scratches the surface of what's coming. The world at war via Iran is weeks, max months away. Martial law will be brought in as the entire financial system collapses.
The story about a country where they believed their Nazi liberators were their friends is similar to American politicians believing Putin is their friend.
But some of those who were "liberated" embraced and promoted the ideology of their benefactor (the German Reich) but then Hitler replaced ..
Stalin as the occupier and their dreams of independence evaporated once again.
In that short transitional period hate reared its ugly head as people were told (by a few) that a certain group of Other! people were responsible for Stalin's original occupation ... and the human slaughter began.
Trump wants America to believe that NATO and trade partners are freeloaders and economic cheats.
He wants to bring others under the Eagle's wing to make things more "fair" and to "protect" others from high taxes and to ensure a laissez-faire economic environment.
Me either.
May we all never forget so this will never be repeated again!!!
A massive overhaul must happen so we are never in this situation & people aren’t used as pawns.
Any Democratic presidential candidate who does not forcefully commit to prosecuting every last criminal in this administration will not get my vote. No more "we look forward" bullshit.
My question: How did ICE even know if these guys had tattoos, much less what they were? If the tattoos were the "reasonable cause" for detention, and if they would have needed to detain and strip them to see the tattoos, how did they do that without engaging in unwarranted detention and search?
Don't forget those who rounded them up, jailed them, and flew them. They all must be held accountable. "Just following orders" didn't work in history and it's not going to work in the future.
Every member of the Democratic Senate caucus voted to confirm Rubio on 20 Jan. By 3 Feb he agreed with El Salvador's strongman to rendition people without due process off American streets to a flamboyantly brutal third country prison. Every single Senator owns this, which is why they'll do naught.
I will not set a foot in the US until that tyrant is gone, though I loved to spend vacations in Massachusetts... I will travel to friendlier countries instead
We need to take responsibility for not paying attention and allowing our legislators get away with unlawful actions and lies. We allowed propaganda to spread through-out our country without push-back. Honestly, I was one of those people before Donald Trump was elected. Now we need to be loud.
Here’s the thing: THEY won’t ever forget. People lie, cover-up because THEY know they did/are doing shameful things. Burglars don’t burgle houses in the open. Why do bandits wear masks? Because they’re proud & want to be recognized? You can lie, but will YOU believe YOU when YOU look in a mirror?
I’m never going to forgive democrats for being fine with this. Stupid at this point to see it otherwise. Not for nothing did Biden (on a weekend, at night) expand domestic surveillance & and secure massive expansion contracts w/facilities already know to be subhuman.
"But Mehdi, they didn't vote for this, they voted to make eggs cheaper, or something!"
You and me both, partner. It's disgusting, and the fact that this wasn't a deal breaker for anyone, AND your eggs are more expensive just proves their vote may have not been for the economy...
Yes, this is what fascist do.
In the 80’s, the US trained members of the Salvadoran army the art of torturing, that they utilized during their civil war. Now we have returned again, to join forces in their capitalist incarceration state.
The people who “ordered” this and voted for this are your neighbors, teachers, local business owners, the dentist in town, the mail person, etc…. Are you going to stop talking to them, being friendly with them? How do you know?
If ICE had researched as far as Wikipedia they'd have found: "Tren De Aragua does not have tattoos that signify membership as the maras in Central America, MS13 or 18th Street do."

And the people who didn't vote at all
They are just as responsible
Like the people who wouldn’t let up on President Biden for being old, knowing full well THIS was the other option.
The short-sightedness was shocking then and now.
This will not end well for them either.
Watch the excellent Oliver Stone movie "Salvador"
Time for real treason trials. The Muskrat, T Rump, and Shady Vance are committing treason to aid and support a Soviet-Style dictatorship!
We’d spit on their graves, but water is too precious!

Something sacred died that day

Fuck them all to hell.

STOP AGREEING WITH THEM THAT BIDEN HAD A BAD ECONOMY. HE DIDN'T.
STOP HELPING THEM TEAR US DOWN. SAY ONLY GOOD THINGS ABOUT OUR PARTY. RUFUTE BAD THINGS OR STAY SILENT.

This too would require ...
In 2025, the similarity from then to now, is that the seeds of hate once again flourish in the self described American "liberator".
Anti immigrant
Anti Muslim
Anti woke
Anti abortion
In a few short weeks 1000s were vilified as communist symps and were beaten, raped, imprisoned and killed by their own neighbors and countrymen.
Why would anyone outside of America want to be "friends" with what America has become ?
Fight ! Fight ! Fight !
How do we get them back is what I’d like to know? I fear they will not survive in there.
May we all never forget so this will never be repeated again!!!
