The U.S. President swept up over 200 Venezuelan migrants as part of his administration's deportations under the Alien Enemies Act, including one man who had a Real Madrid-inspired tattoo

    Innocent? Every person they sent was sent without due process! They are all innocent according to law.

      Haven’t you heard? The rule of law no longer means anything. Now the “law” is whatever the regime says it is.

      But, they held up the Adobe® Pantone™ card and his skin tone was in the lower 4/5ths, surely he was a terrorist.

    The Venezuelan “terrorist” gang is just a test balloon. They’re seeing if they can get away with rounding up people and deporting them with zero due process.

    If they get away with it, they’ll eventually designate a Mexican cartel as “terrorists” under the same law and use it to arrest and deport anyone of Mexican origin that they want. The same for every other non-white majority country.

    These people are openly Nazis. They’re doing Nazi shit right in front of everyone and getting away with it. The Supreme Court could stop it, but will they? And if they do, will their orders be enforced?

      He is clearly fairly brown and has a Spanish language tatoo. That was enough to send him away. Those two things are not rarer for Mexicans.

      They already designated several cartels as terrorist organizations.

      I honestly think that train has left the station. The coup rollout is already disregarding court orders, so the Supreme Court also declaring some actions illegal would not be insurmountable. It would cost the coup time to let public outrage descend below criticality, but within the government the purge is hitting escape velocity.

        Yeah, it’s only Nazi if it comes from the Bavarian region of Germany, otherwise it’s only sparkling fascism.

          Sorry to correct you, but it was imported from Austria… namely a town called “Braunau”, translates to “Brownfield”

        Nazism formally named National Socialism is the far-right totalitarian socio-political ideology.

        Nazism is a form of fascism, with disdain for liberal democracy and the parliamentary system. Its beliefs include support for dictatorship, fervent antisemitism, anti-communism, anti-Slavism, anti-Romani sentiment, scientific racism, white supremacy, Nordicism, social Darwinism, homophobia, ableism, and the use of eugenics.

            They are only pro-gun because it is preceived the left are outgunned. Break that illusion and watch how fast they’ll make a 180.

            Being pro-isreal does not make them not antisemitic. Hell, Hitler was for isreal to become a thing before the nazis found it too costly to ship jews away.

            Don’t mistake their pro Israel takes for being “not antisemitic”. They’re pro Israel to have a place to deport jews to. That’s extremely antisemitic. They’re calling jews who disagree with Netanyahu and who want peace “bad jews”.

    The cruelty is the point. ‘‘We can’t make it illegal to be Black but we can pass a drug schedule and go after them night after night on the evening news’’ - how Nixon did racist messaging

      It’s super believable. They never cared; Nixon was a crook.

Abolish is to flourish! Against the prison industrial complex and for transformative justice.

See Critical Resistance’s definitions below:

The Prison Industrial Complex

The prison industrial complex (PIC) is a term we use to describe the overlapping interests of government and industry that use surveillance, policing, and imprisonment as solutions to economic, social and political problems.

Through its reach and impact, the PIC helps and maintains the authority of people who get their power through racial, economic and other privileges. There are many ways this power is collected and maintained through the PIC, including creating mass media images that keep alive stereotypes of people of color, poor people, queer people, immigrants, youth, and other oppressed communities as criminal, delinquent, or deviant. This power is also maintained by earning huge profits for private companies that deal with prisons and police forces; helping earn political gains for “tough on crime” politicians; increasing the influence of prison guard and police unions; and eliminating social and political dissent by oppressed communities that make demands for self-determination and reorganization of power in the US.

Abolition

PIC abolition is a political vision with the goal of eliminating imprisonment, policing, and surveillance and creating lasting alternatives to punishment and imprisonment.

From where we are now, sometimes we can’t really imagine what abolition is going to look like. Abolition isn’t just about getting rid of buildings full of cages. It’s also about undoing the society we live in because the PIC both feeds on and maintains oppression and inequalities through punishment, violence, and controls millions of people. Because the PIC is not an isolated system, abolition is a broad strategy. An abolitionist vision means that we must build models today that can represent how we want to live in the future. It means developing practical strategies for taking small steps that move us toward making our dreams real and that lead us all to believe that things really could be different. It means living this vision in our daily lives.

Abolition is both a practical organizing tool and a long-term goal.
