The "supernatural miracle" being the very natural support of human orgs.

Yeah wtf has her God got to do with freeing her lol

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago

I'm not religious and I don't agree with the train of thought but I would think it's probably something akin to "god sent these people to help me"

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

The lead in the pipes is obviously doing these “miracles”

These ICE agents are monsters. Those directing them are even worse.

"Just following orders"

Honestly every single one of them deserves to have their names and faces on public record

[–] [email protected] 63 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Just why? It makes no logical sense to take an infant from their mother.

Pure cruelty and lack of thought.

Fire each and every person involved in that decision.

[–] [email protected] 51 points 1 month ago

The cruelty is the point. No one is getting fired.

If they unlawfully detained her, they should be prosecuted for false imprisonment and be imprisoned themselves upon conviction

Daily reminder to all my non-American homies. For the love of god do not travel to the US unless you absolutely have to.

The risk is not worth it and they dont deserve your money.

Find somewhere else to vacation. Limit it to absolutely necessary travel only.

I was just at a get together yesterday, and even standard white citizens are afraid to leave the country, fearing they'll have a hard time when they return. We're hearing lots of stories of people being grilled about their social media accounts, their opinions of the government and the president, etc. Eventually they'll start turning away American citizens for their political views, stranding them in another country without documentation.

Cancelles plans to go over next year, it can wait twenty years until you guys get a grip again.

The cruelty is the point, as ever.

[–] [email protected] 51 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Why?

"If you don't look Aryan, we want you to feel like this is not a country you're welcome in. Get out." Is the message they're passing, with illegal cruelty as the medium.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 1 month ago

I was 'welcome home'd by a US CBP officer after flying into Washington from Africa...I'm not an American, and don't have American residency, but I'm white and speak with a neutral dialect.

I think you're right.

[–] [email protected] 49 points 1 month ago

Cruelty is the point. These fuckers have no souls.

Having immigration control interfere with healthcare facilities is disgusting

Babies need to feed around the clock. Our humanity disappearing fast.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 month ago (1 children)

This isn't new. In the first administration, they were separating nursing mothers, and non-verbal toddlers. Despite the efforts of the Biden administration, nearly 1000 children have still not been reunited with their parents, and likely never will be.

And that doesn't include the kids who ended up trafficked as sex workers or house slaves.

That policy was never properly investigated. If we ever get out of this, it will be important to investigate EVERY allegation of criminal activity by the MAGA Nazis, and prosecute every perpetrator. No mercy, no forgiveness.

Just one scandal to the next. Their blitzkrieg is exhausting (and by design).

[–] [email protected] 41 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Anyone who didn't vote for Harris contributes to this.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Why couldn't the democrats come up with a progressive candidate instead of making this a rightwing vs rightwing race? Aren't political parties supposed to make people want to vote for them?

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Both are true here.

Yeah the Democrats absolutely shit the bed, and still are. But also it was clear that this president was not willing to uphold the constitution, was corrupt and incompetent. If you didn't care enough to focus on stopping Trump you weren't taking the situation seriously.

Blaming voters for the failings of a political party will never be a viable strategy.

The "protest voters" did not meaningfully impact the election.

If you beleive otherwise you are deepthroating propaganda meant to make us infight

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 month ago

You're honestly not wrong. But just like Reddit and IRL people here vote emotionally instead of rationally.

Things that divide us further are just distractions from class warfare, by keeping us at each other's throats with culture wars.

The real battle has always been class wars, and those in power maintain their positions by getting us peons to go at each other's throats instead of theirs.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Yes yes, voting for a right wing campaign calling unapologetically for the most lethal military while committing genocide is the moral choice that you made.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 month ago

You mean the Genocide that Trump DEFINITELY stopped? The one that DEFINITELY isn't still ongoing? That Genocide? Yeah that's what I thought. How's that boot leather taste?

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Morality exists in the context of the available options. We all wish there was a better choice. There wasn't. Deal with it and make the choice you need to like a real adult

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

There were no ethical or moral canidates on the 2024 ballot.

And it's not viable to blame voters for that.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Bullshit.

If you look at someone and go 'wow that dude's a nazi' and then the other person and you say 'wow I dont like some of her policies' then you vote against the fucking Nazi.

It's pretty simple. The fact that you, and multiple other people here simply refuse to admit this very simple thing baffles me.

The lesser of two evils is evil

I would have preferred Kamala too, but that would have just pushed the next trump back 4 years.

The only way we end the Duopoly is to end it.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Accellerationism is bullshit.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (4 children)

Aknowledging reality isn't accelerationism

The Democrats aren't interested in making positive change

The Democrats rubber stamped the bombs they gave to Isreal to genocide the Palestinians, same as the Republicans.

The two party system ends when a third party canidate gets elected.

and now people like you handed trump the office AGAIN, your part of the problem as much as non-voters, are protest voters are.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

Lol i voted for Kamala you idiot

Amazing how your ego prevents you from learning how things work even after 2016 and 2024

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

You’re not making sense, please elaborate. Are you agreeing or disagreeing?

[–] [email protected] 40 points 1 month ago

This is misogyny at work. They have no idea how painful a milk blockage can be, and if there was a female officer present she was not heard.

Of course this is only one aspect of everything that is wrong here.

[–] [email protected] 32 points 1 month ago

I work with little babies and this makes me so mad knowing how traumatic this would be.

[–] FistingEnthusiast 24 points 1 month ago

The cruelty is the point

It's what they enjoy

The US is a no travel zone for me, on par with Russia.
