This is not about fighting antisemitism. This is all about silencing opposing views. Today it’s pro-Palestine, tomorrow it’s pro-Ukraine, and then it’s just deporting whomever they don’t like. And then everyone is silent.

The news organizations were largely silent when they went after the Associated Press. The law firms were largely silent when they went after Covington & Burling. The universities were largely silent when they went after Columbia.
Under the First Amendment, people can't have their Green cards revoked for having political views that the government doesn't like. But that was the good old day when the Constitution had meaning.
And so-called moderate, so-called rising Republican star, Mike Lawler (#NY17) celebrates these Gestapo tactics. No due process. No free speech. Not even any indication that he broke any law. Just said things Lawler doesn't like (which I probably don't like either), so off to the gulag, or the camp.
Mike Lawler (#NY17) endorses the Gestapo tactics. No due process. No free speech. I don't necessarily like what this man says, but if they can do this to him, they can do it to me and anyone else. Support abortion or trans rights? Equal voting rights for Black people & women? Oppose Elon Musk?
Since the not-SOTU, trump has blamed Jews for 3 different things he’s done that people don’t like. His goal is to encourage anti-Semitism while using it to turn his minions against Jews. Like Hitler, 1st immigrants/“gypsies”, then the trans community, & now Jews.
Dems have basically folded their hand on this, but can we please still note that conflating pro-Palestinian activism with being pro-Hamas is pretty obviously openly genocidal rhetoric.
I have seen a Palestinian man carrying the headless body of his child,and a Palestinian baby,alive with feet gone,mangled stumps screaming.Once seen, keeping quiet,saying nothing,becomes as political an act as speaking out.Either way,you’re accountable. https://johnmenadue.com/challenging-antisemitism/
Well presumably they can only deport foreign nationals, so no, I don't think they'll be deporting whomever they like. They do have other tools for silencing them though.
And not just deporting them.
It'll then be imprisoning them indefinitely in some 'camp.'
And then sooner or later it'll be murdering them.
That's where the Trump Scourge has been heading since 2015.
And people *still* haven't figured this out.
When they came for the AP journalist, you said nothing because you don't understand the role of the Associated Press. When they came for the pro Palestinian organizer, you said nothing because you do not sympathize with proPalestinian sympathizers. And when they come for you ...
One time I was in Spain on a cruise vacation and at one stop there was a vocal protest to have dock workers get a 4 day work week. I joined the protest but had a USA hat on. The police came and told me to get back on the ship or I would be detained. Fair.
And people need to be louder about the fact that pro-palestine or criticism of the actions of the Israeli government is not the same thing as pro-hamas or antisemitism
They already are? This is the same advice that was given when people said defund the police. It's not a messaging problem the problem is that the left cant make strong statement and instead spend all day on "how" they should make a statement
Are you proud of this openly racist smarm? Are you also into Trump’s “they were dancing in Jersey City” line or is 9/11 hagiography where you take a stand
I sincerely want to know if you could vote to ratify the policy of an administration that had been dropping bombs on your family for the previous 13 months, with no sign of stopping.
This isn't something just happened randomly that they signed off on, this is something the Trump administration is *doing*. The Biden administration did not do this. It's not a question of "would they, hypothetically" - they had the same opportunity to do it and *did not do it*.
The Biden Administration started negotiating a ceasefire and hostage release within days of October 7th and were successful 5 weeks later. 👇. It led to an extended ceasefire and eventual release of 105 hostages. Hamas could have released all the hostages then and ended everything. They didn’t.
You're quite put of touch with reality if you believe she would have done any of this. At worst, she'd have let things happen as they are, while attempting to reach a ceasefire. Thinking like this is why Putin has a new ally in the USA.
Fuck all the way off with that statement. You have just exposed yourself as having similar insight & intelligence as the average MAGAt.
Seriously, just delete your account after the “she absolutely would have signed off on this”.
You’re a worthless shithead who knows nothing beyond idiot slogans.
Right, she just planned on continuing to do what Biden was doing and giving full support to Israel while not allowing any Palestinians to speak at the national convention.
It is gross they voted for Trump. You didn’t have to like Bidens policies, could have kept fighting for the right thing, without voting in Fascism, Oligarchy, with a side of Nazis and destroying the constitution. Trump was a horrific decision, and obviously worse for Palestine. Why crucify OP?
A majority of white people voted Trump, tens of millions of people. Yet you wanna blame a triple digit amount of Arab people in one county for everything because they wouldn't vote for someone bombing their people. This racism is so thinly veiled that it couldn't even fool a child.
Libs always blame someone else for the Dems failures. They'll never accept the Dems are controlled opposition and want fascism just as much as Republicans.
hi, michigander here. shut the fuck up about dearborn and leave them alone. you dumb fucks harp about muslims, latinos, and even black people when you don't have the balls to point out the OVERWHELMING amount of white votes for trump. but then you wouldn't be able to be racist to minorities right?
60% of voting white men voted Donald Trump
53% of voting white women voted Donald Trump
56% of white votes total as a whole were for Donald Trump
but we can't actually talk about that right? not when you people can smugly be islamophobic & racist even as palestinian CITIZENS are kidnapped. fuck you
Let me guess, you are getting a bunch of pro-Palestine bots blasting you for saying this? It is odd how much they attack liberal leaning folks but have stopped protesting the guy who wants to annex Gaza to put hotels up…
If you didn't care about Gaza being exterminated during Biden, don't act like you give a shit about fascist moves now. You only care that you're affected this time
You're definitely helping building the necessary coalition to stop this and definitely not alienating all the help we desperately need. Very solid strategy that definitely won't lead to endless losing.

They can’t live without an enemy.
When the hell will these cowards all SPEAK UP?
This is the beginning of Gestapo terror.
Make it visible to more people that there is resistance, before it is too late?
Anyone can do that here: https://linktr.ee/dogemag

If he committed a crime, arrest him and put in him a normal jail, with normal protections and transparency.
This is dangerous.
the state and the pro-Israel fascists are criminalizing dissent against their program of ethnic cleansing and land seizure
Do you struggle with object permanence?

Who exactly are you trying to blame? Because it doesn't seem to be the older white men who are responsible for this.
