Newly-released documents show that Trump has not just been trying to deport people - but trying to erase entire family units from the US
Yep, this is starting to sound a whole lot like ethnic cleansing, which is not surprising in the least 🫠
Call it what it is: genocide. “Ethnic cleansing” was a weasel word definition to let the Clinton admin wriggle out of intervening in Rwanda.
I understand DJT very well, but his methods are too extreme
So, Nazi stuff. He is a fucking Nazi.
That headline is pretty awful, becaused “erased” is a term that can mean a lot of different things to humans. The actual content of the article is critical to understand:
The first Trump regime went far further than its already disgraceful policy of separating families, instead erasing them as legal units by recoding parents separated by immigration enforcement from their children as ‘single adults’ and labelling their children as ‘unaccompanied alien children’ who were then put in shelters to face immigration court hearings alone – many of them still infants.
Trump’s system created intentional chaos, with officials admitting data was “corrupt” and grossly inadequate, leaving the number of children separated from their families still unknown – but at least three thousand in a matter of weeks – and the government admitting in court that it is probably impossible to reunite many of them.
The regime sent many of the abducted children thousands of miles away from their detained parents to foster this chaos and make separation more likely to be irreversible.
Unspeakably evil. This regime has knowingly separated children from their parents and made it difficult if not nearly impossible for them to be reunited again. I don’t like saying “it’s hard to understand just how evil this is unless you are a parent”, because it’s not true. Of course people without kids can understand it. But as a parent, man, this one is really getting to me. To try and get a better life for my kids only to have them ripped away and never seen again… I can’t begin to describe what I would do in that situation.
Right wingers are too stupid to realize they ruin people’s life.
Cruelty is the point.
Things like this have a way of coming back to bite. Its basically forced diaspora. So the people who do the labor are sent to countries where they basically look different. Like a Puerto Rican sent to South Africa. There, in south Africa, maybe by chance this person looks sexy to a local. They get married, have kids…yada yada yada, democracy happens around the glove. Its real painful in between now and then, but migrants have a resilient heart. Let’s hope things do go well for those in the diaspora.
Their last image of our collapsing Democracy will be us giving them the finger on the way out, I’m not sure they’re going to be spreading the gospel. But one can hope the ideals were impressed on enough minds.
This is what you voted for protest-non-voters.
Let’s be real, it’s what his actual voters voted for too
By and large Trump voters know what they voted for. Protest-non-voters apparently need to be informed what they actually voted for.
You sure told those 11 people!
30% of the American population didn’t vote.
technically, trump only received 40% of all votes.
he won via technicality. we lost because of blind petty bullshit.
That’s pretty usual. What were non-voters protesting in prior elections?
Happy to inform protest-non-voters what they voted for.
All eleven of them, yup, got it.
All eleven of them, yup, got it.
I like the attempt at demoralizing. It doesn’t work you know.
Fine, that’s not my intent.
Sure, sure.
