Narrator: the situation did in fact deteriorate rapidly

“The gestapo comparison lets you condemn terror without interrogating lineage.
Slave patrols force you to admit that American terror didn’t need a dictator.
It needed law.
It needed paperwork.
It needed permission.
It needed neighbors that said ‘well that’s just how this works.’”
Minneapolis! Water your front steps!
Remember when we all thought Chicago was blocking streets with garbage trucks to deter ICE but it was actually for a festival? Minnesota should actually do it to block ICE. Bonus points if they do not salt the smaller roads in the neighborhoods ICE is targeting and use those trucks too.
They’re breaking down doors. We are out of “know your rights” territory. Walz needs to call in the national guard.
My anger at having to stand outside my kid’s school for two hours to ensure none of their classmates, parents, or teachers get kidnapped by my own government is only slightly tempered by the amazing outpouring of support from other parents and especially neighbors who stand against this bullshit.
Mr. Abrego Garcia was illegally abducted by the Trump Admin and, by their own admission, wrongly deported to El Salvador. He shouldn’t have to spend another second away from his family.
I'm flying to El Salvador tomorrow morning to check on his condition and discuss his return.
There’s a whole lot of missing the point here. I highly suggest American folks go read some of the commentary on r/onguardforthee to see how Canadians feel about what is in their best interests right now.
Provided they bring Canadians on to have this conversation with people from both countries, I’m sure that will be a valuable dialogue.
I have had multiple conversations with Canadian friends in which they have made it clear they are going to act in their own best interests right now, and that they recognize that might hurt American citizens but that is what they have to do. I listen to them, not some stranger attempting a gotcha.
The suggestion I was responding to originally was that Americans pressure Canada into not doing business with El Salvadorian manufacturers. Not in response to Americans doing what we need to do.
There is a difference between “ask” and “pressure” and considering the fact that Canadian businesses are boycotting American goods right now, a move which directly affects American citizens more than it affects the government, they are clearly and rightfully placing their countries needs first r/n.
When we are talking about economically pressuring Canada to stop using El Salvadorian manufacturers, on behalf of American politics because of what the American and El Salvadorian governments are doing, that is pressuring Canada to do something on behalf of the US. We are in no position to do that.
Many products sold in the U.S. are made in El Salvador. In response to the El Salvador president’s statements today, we’re calling for an immediate boycott of all Salvadoran-made goods. Please help by listing any products or brands made in El Salvador in the comments below.
We cannot ethically pressure Canada to do anything for the US right now.

In plain speak “of course I’m against violence BUT” means you are, in fact, not against violence.
There are a lot of things I will sit down and have a conversation with you about, but whataboutism and land debates on this? Nope. You’re either against children dying or you’re for it if they’re inconvenient to Israel. The second option nullifies your right to speak.
Make racists afraid again.
This evening I saw a video of a martyred Palestinian baby that nearly caused me to have a full blown panic attack.
If you’ve ever wondered if, by now, you have seen all of the things that bombs can do to bodies, the answer is no, you have not, and you never will. The list is infinite.
“Paige you criticized her are you just trying to avoid-” no. I’m not. I just think it’s really fucking gross when you celebrate people losing fundamental human rights for any reason at all. Like it’s not okay when the right does it but it’s fine when it suits your karmic narrative?Textbook Hypocrisy
Getting real sick of the leopards ate my face trope being used against anyone who criticized Kamala Harris during the election.
We can either move forward united against a common enemy or die eating each other alive. (Hint, Pre-Holocaust Communists and Socialists did the latter)
Yes, I’m talking about your reaction to these dudes losing their rights.
At some point we really need to collectively learn the lesson that hitler rose to power because the right was able to unite via hate and the left just kept eating itself alive.
And then maybe stop eating each other alive and focus instead on the real enemy.
The plane crash conspiracy theories are hilarious in how incredibly fucking stupid they are
It’s DEI’s fault: the pilots of both aircraft were white dudes
They were assassinating a Saudi National: in the airspace around the capital? The Saudis could skull fuck our economy so easily, STFU
We need to be incredibly careful about how we discuss this aircraft collision.
Air traffic control was not understaffed. They were actively communicating with both aircraft and told the helicopter to go behind the passenger plane. There are 1000 possibilities for why the helicopter did not comply.
Constitutional amendments require a 2/3 majority.
There is no indication this endeavor will be successful now. It’s just getting coverage now. It’s another prime example of hypocrisy in reporting between democrat and republican actions and not addressing their overlaps.
Democratic congressman Jose Serrano has pulled this exact same stunt 9 times. In fact this type of bill has been introduced 55 times across party lines since 1956. Research shit, I’m begging all of you.
And here is a classic example of “liberals only care about this shit when republicans try to pull it”

Update on r/newjersey banning x links:
this has caused a tidal wave of subreddits to follow suit. Including r/nfl, r/military, r/kingdomhearts, r/dropout, r/streamdeck, r/georgia on and on and on. u/spez is 100% going to fuck this up in 3…2…
