There seems to be a concerted effort to pretend that what's happening is business as usual, and not a direct result of Trump.

Fuck outta here with that.

Hang on a second. Trump and the Republicans are obviously way more extreme, but Obama was the deporter in chief for a reason. One of the greatest terrorists in world history with the drone program. Just because Republicans are fascist lunatics doesn’t mean we shouldn’t acknowledge what led here.

Obama and Biden deported criminals, they didn't go to fucking job sites and brutalize peaceful workers. They didn't deport people to prisons in a third country that the person has zero connection to. They didn't deport green card holders and legal permanent residents.

People's memories can't really be this short, right?

It didn't "lead" anywhere, this is Project 2025. This is what these racist fucks were always going to do.

Most of them weren't even given the means to find lawyers.

Many of them received representation from attorneys in the immigration groups that Trump stopped funding. Oops.
