I think something this article missed is that the autism awareness tattoo, while looking absolutely nothing like a gang tattoo, does very much look like a pride tattoo, and we know these people are not only targeting immigrants (or people who look like immigrants) but also trans and the LGBTQ+ community at large.

Doesn't hegseth have worse tattoos?

[–] [email protected] 62 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Hegseth has white supremacist tattoos. Those are approved of.

"~~approved of.~~"
Encouraged.

I wouldn't be surprised to find that they knew and did it anyway.

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

Now youre waking up! Youre spot on.

This is a test to see if they can deport citizens. Their end goal is jail anyone who opposes the reigm. This is a baby step.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

Yep.

Take note, the regime does not care that they did something wrong. They. Do. Not. Care.

And their fans continue to cheer them on. This country is fucked.

Useless headline

They are doing mass deportations so there will always be cases like this.

[–] [email protected] 41 points 2 months ago

This comment is too dismissive. It shouldn't be about "oh well everyone's getting slain" - it's hard to reach 360 million people barely surviving the week and their own personal struggles like being able to afford food, while also living in a soon-to-be Nazi hellscape. If one particular story about one particular person or group triggers people into action, it is good.

Ignoring injustice anywhere is accepting injustice everywhere.

They're not just deporting them. They're sending them to an overseas black site prison notorious for crimes against humanity, including torture.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 months ago (1 children)

On the contrary. They can hide this kind of thing in the numbers. Reporting on egregious individual cases has a chance to heighten awareness.

I like how in Denver they made ICE look like a bunch of idiots.

They went to raid a apartment building and it was totally empty

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 months ago (3 children)

Useless comment. They're illegally doing mass deportations which causes cases like this. If they didn't break the constitution and listened to the court order this wouldn't have happened. The criminals would be deported after a trial. The fact maga is excusing this shows how despicable they truly are. If any Democrat ignored a court order you all would be beating police officers in the streets with flag poles, and trying to drag the vp to the gallows.

Useless comment.

I disagree, his comment made it obvious that I should block him.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

Yep, plonk.

The fact maga is excusing this shows how despicable they truly are.

There's a sentence that works for many contexts.

[–] [email protected] -4 points 2 months ago

You are misunderstanding

I'm not supporting mass deportation as that's a huge human rights violation. All I'm saying is that click bait articles rarely do anything long term.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

No there won't.

Source: Bush didn't do this

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

He wasn't just deported. He was deported without due process to a slave labor camp.

This is going exactly like the Holocaust.

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

mass deportations

that is the problem. Deport as much mass as possible. Guidance around "deportation of criminals" can mean more "mass" if defined as any objectionable/unknown tattoo, instead of a narrower mandate of specific known gang affiliation tattoos. That would still be a problem in that a tattoo is not a criminal conviction.
