@djsumdog well, I looked at a lot of what people said and a lot of it is "I believe that kind of thing, being undocumented, should be forgiven, as it has in the past" because nobody except the president, the white house, all of MAGA, the SCOTUS, and ICE fancy the being here undocumented or having maybe lied on the application and, in general, general intimidation to scare the fuck out of people even considering coming even if they're good people because being here illegally is still illegal.

Inshallah.

@freemo
In short: Speech is protected, but immigration status adds complications. The government cannot lawfully deport someone only for voicing support for a cause—however controversial—but if that speech crosses legal boundaries or attracts scrutiny that reveals other grounds for removal, then “actions have consequences” becomes a practical reality.

@freemo they are not being ejected for their free speech, actually, they're literally being ejected for being enemy combatants and allies of America's enemies. So, the free speech thing is a red herring. It's basically like ejecting commies but in this case they're the caught in a GWOT snare--and it's easier because they can use military grade rendition (the practice of sending a foreign criminal or terrorist suspect to be imprisoned in a country with less rigorous regulations)

"Free speech doesn’t protect you from consequences,” right? That sword cuts both ways—it’s tested on easy-to-hate groups first, then used on whoever the government targets next.

I love how everyone believes they are so smart and everyone else is so stupid. Well, they are half right: almost everyone is stupid.

@magicalthinking come on, give me an attaboy for my silly antics!

I'm going to regret this one... Threads hates this kind of rhetoric.

I'm wondering if fascism is a self fulfilling prophecy against activism. And it always gives both sides exactly what their little mad fever dreams always want: escalation and confrontation and infamy and immortality.

@lain pretty pretty ladies. Perfect Handmaids.

If you're in the U.S. on a visa or with a Green Card, engaging in protests, mischief, or anti-social behavior can impact your status. The laws can be quite capricious, and enforcement may vary depending on the administration. It's important to understand the legal boundaries and how they might be interpreted.

Guess it’s easier to be a Christian when you’re not worried about being labeled anti-this or that. Who knew? #FaithAndPolitics

@freemo I totally agree with that I just have been relegated to throwing a vat of chicken flesh into the instant pot from a frozen block so blackening and crisping and seasoning and all that other kind of stuff and I'll be honest with you I end up being disgusted when I'm left with lots of Grizzle and Bone and it makes me not want to cook it again so I'm a p**** I am a trained white meat chicken breast p**** who is trying to adapt to a dark meat world.

It's taken me until 55 to actually believe that boneless chicken thigh is a superior product. I blame my Irish Catholic New Jersey mum for all the skinless, boneless, breastmeat propaganda. I'm finally deprogrammed away from the Cult of White Meat Chicken. Hallelujah.

@istvan
It's a show of dominance it has very little to do with reorg. Trump only works in dominance/submission games and calls is the art of the deal. Besides, also, India, Indonesia, Vietnam and Turkey are decidedly not CCP China...
