Does the lesson of you are not special have to be learned one at a time forever?
Why do you think we're in this situation? Practically, the majority of Americans can only learn things the hard way.

"Obviously nobody else is special because just I am, duh"
-these fuckin' guys
Unfortunately, yes.
And, as an American, we tend to forget everything after 1-3 years. So you have to teach us again. And again. And again. And-
You understand, I gather.

If you are even vaguely Latino in this country, it could happen to you at any moment. Nobody is safe.
If you are even vaguely ~~Latino~~ brown in this country, it could happen to you at any moment. Nobody is safe.
*points at native americans being detained*
They have gotten some very tanned white folk too. Hense why no one wants to go to a tanning bed where the point was to look darker.
And they won't stop there. Fascism needs a constant supply of new enemies, and sooner or later you will find yourself in its sights.
Yeah I mean they are literally trying to drum up a causus belli for war on liberal states right now. I'm sure they won't stop trying even if they can't goad protesters to violence.
I am a white appearing half Latino—there but by the grace of god go I. I take this fight personally.
I’m surprised by how many latinos (according to research) genuinely believe they are part of the American “white” ethno-fascist in-group. It’s unbelievably bizarre.

Worst part is that Shirley was going through the process of naturalization and working to be here legally. Through a process the military had put in place for just this exact kind of thing.
She had no criminal record, has been here for a decade, and has faithfully reported for her hearings. Not to mention she is gainfully employed.
Why the fuck are we wasting time and resources deporting this person?

Because suffering and fear is the point
The even sicker part is that there is an entire cult worth of brainwashed racists all sitting around a table afterwards congratulating eachother for making America ""safe"" and saving their country.
I could throw a plate.
Because America put a deranged convict into, what is arguably the most powerful position in the world. Congress won't challenge him, so he's running amok while his party turns a blind eye to the obvious human rights violations that are constantly happening.
The whole "worst of the worst" line for who that are deporting is, and always has been a lie. They just want POCs to suffer and die because they're Nazis.
But on that morning in March, Guardado got a strange phone call at work. Some sort of public safety officer had dialed her office and wanted her to come outside to talk. In the parking lot, three men in plain clothes identified themselves as Department of Public Safety officers, Correa told The War Horse. As Shirly approached, they said her car had been involved in an accident. But when she got close, they grabbed her and handcuffed her, telling her they were ICE agents.
God damn this is scummy as hell.
All sympathy to the innocent woman and child, but to the husband? YOU GET WHAT YOU VOTE FOR SCUMBAG. It’s unfortunate that an innocent woman and child you care about had to be affected, but fuck you.
I wonder who he voted for.
This post says he voted for Trump
Tots and Prayers🙏
Ohh .. ok in that case .. I guess he learned something about his decisions...next he needs to learn that fire = hot and water = wet 😏
Correa expressed disappointment in the Trump administration, feeling betrayed after voting for him…
Ya this guy and go eat shit
"Correa expressed disappointment in the Trump administration, feeling betrayed after voting for him and serving the country, as he believed only violent criminals would be targeted."
I am sure this guy thought, “Well it won’t happen to me…”, but sadly, Trumpism is happening to all of us.
Just in time to be sent to Iran. I'm sure the kids will be fine!
Now off you go to genocide / die for the Israeli empire.
Israel first!
This is just insane! And to leave the family in a lurch for 3 months?! That's even worse.
I wonder what the chances are that someone who works for ice gets thier spouse carted off.
