Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

Donald Trump ordered ICE officers to prioritize deportations in Democrat-run cities in a wild Truth Social rant Sunday night.

Trump issued the unprecedented, politically motivated orders just hours after millions of protesters gathered in major American cities, calling for Trump’s megalomania to be curbed.

Trump told ICE staff to “do all in their power” to detain and deport undocumented immigrants in Los Angeles, Chicago, and New York.

Protests in these cities—and many more Democrat-controlled districts—attracted millions of citizens on Saturday, dwarfing the crowd that attended Trump’s birthday parade in Washington, D.C.

‘No Kings’ protest cities

So ... like all the cities?

This has kind of been the plan from the begining. He's trying to set metros to be in the position NYC was when he bought it for cheap.

COVID blaming cities, riots flamed to get people to move out and not want to be there. It's geo politics. Once it gets shitty enough he will just buy up property and market it to wealthy.

That's the game. Homies got his hustle. Mainstream or street it's all the same evil.

Shouldn't he be focused on the G7?

Stop payment of federal taxes

I screamed "No ICE in Wichita" for 4 hours, and Im willing to continue that stance with a bat.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 9 hours ago

I saw someone with the classic John f Kennedy quote "those who make peaceful revolution impossible make violent revolution inevitable" on a sign that was taped to a classic wooden bat. Probably my favor sign I've seen yet.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 hours ago

I'm willing to continue it with other weaponry.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 11 hours ago

But don't you remember that time Biden said, "I want double, triple vaccinations in red states! They'll pay for calling COVID 'the flu'!" /s

[–] [email protected] 54 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Weren't the protests in pretty much every city in the country?

[–] [email protected] 37 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago) (2 children)

The best I saw reporting in was a town of 800 in deep red Trump country with a turnout of 400. Wish I could remember the town. Faiy certain it was a rey on Lemmy but may have been bluesky.

[–] [email protected] 32 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago) (1 children)

175 people showed up in Pulaski, TN. I live about an hour from there. That's where the KKK was founded. Deep as red gets (At least in my experience)

[–] [email protected] 6 points 8 hours ago

That's a solid 2% of the town

[–] [email protected] 9 points 10 hours ago (2 children)

No one in OK is tearing down my “Defund ICE” signs.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Are they literate enough to tell "Defund" from "Defend"?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 hours ago

Defundly not.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

They're also just gonna tax the fuck out of us to do this.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 hours ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 hours ago

Can't tax what I don't earn!

[–] [email protected] 50 points 13 hours ago

We’re already expecting the spite, personal attacks … even smaller places. My town is still pissed off from the last few weeks

  • masked thugs kidnapped a guy off the street and left his kid abandoned on the sidewalk (neighbors got him home)
  • other masked thugs roughed up and arrested a city councilor exercising his right to take videos from an appropriate distance
[–] [email protected] 21 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Please. Send them here. In clearly labeled vehicles. With nice uniforms that have large letters.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 11 hours ago

We'd like to see their faces too.

Otherwise how we supposed to know they're not reich-wing political assassins or cartel gang members in disguise? They could fake their ID and warrants as well, better just capture them and work it all out in court, in front of a judge. Which is better than they're offering, or deserve

[–] [email protected] 13 points 11 hours ago

All 2200+ of them huh?

[–] [email protected] 196 points 17 hours ago (17 children)

Sure looks illegal to me. I keep hoping one of his crimes will be the straw that breaks the camel's back, but damned if this isn't one tough camel.

The post in question:

[–] [email protected] 1 points 37 minutes ago

Radical Democrats is awfully close to illegal Democrats.

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

I don't think there's "legal" and "illegal" anymore in the US. It's "allowed" or "not allowed" by the king+oligarch.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 12 hours ago

Illegal aliens is starting to sound a lot like "Jews".

I wouldn't be surprised if our president went off an bankers next.

[–] [email protected] 143 points 17 hours ago (3 children)

If he knows there are millions and millions of illegal aliens, why is he rounding up the legal ones?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 11 hours ago

He's a racist piece of shit

[–] [email protected] 99 points 17 hours ago

Ding! Ding! Ding!

This is why I am having a hard time feeling bad for Trump supporters who just found out that Trump wants them out too despite them being legal residents. There were never enough undocumented immigrants to meet the deportation numbers he wants. He was always planning on cancelling work and student visas and anything else to kick brown people out of the country.

That’s got Stephen Miller’s fingerprints all over it.

And when there are no more illegal immigrants, guess who is going to have to fill in for their jobs and pay level.

I want our Brave ICE Officers to know that REAL Americans are cheering you on every day

Oh, how subtle. If you're not cheering ICE on, you're not a REAL American. So you should be deported too!

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

Trump wants a whole country of people who cheer him and whatever he says.
