I just checked and this is real. It's on Border Patrol's official Instagram (I don't see it on Facebook) and is being celebrated by Nazis on Twitter, as you can see in the screenshot.

The clip is just 13 seconds long too, so it's a very intentional thing. We've got a Nazi government.

Twitter account: Uncensored @HmanQuotes1945: Official border patrol Facebook page is posting with the banned lyrics of Michael Jackson's song.
"Jew me sue me... Kick me k*ke me."

The grim symmetry is impossible to ignore:the tactical playbook of pre-dawn raids, extra-judicial killings at sea, piracy of humanitarians at sea and the snatching of ppl from their homes. From the West Bank to the American Midwest Israel/U.S weaponize bureaucracy to other and then disappear people.

If you don’t see the link between ICE and the IDF, you haven’t been paying attention. We are being asked to accept a world where whole communities are made disposable and marked for disappearance. If we accept that for anyone, no one is safe anywhere.

Wouldn’t it have been nice if everyone had left at once when the writing was on the wall? No joke, trump probably wouldn’t be president right now.

Long story short, an actual Nazi doxxing ring. Enough people reported them that they went away for like 12 hours and then Elon personally brought them back. The site is dead. If you’re still on there, go lock your account right now

Funniest thing about this is all the conservatives saying it’s “college aged kids”/“boys will be boys” and it’s actually a bunch of subcreatures in their 30s-40s.

very annoying that we had to endure about a month of these people going “calling us nazis hurts our feelings” to then immediately be revealed saying nazi shit and going “yup, we want gas chambers. so what libs”

Just watched a trailer for a Sonic game where the voice over pronounced Dr. Eggman as a real-world surname, like Friedman. Which makes me wonder if this trailer has AI voiceover.

Dear brothers and sisters,
I'm not used to asking for donations.
But the situation is extremely painful.
Children in need of milk, a destroyed home, etc.
A donation of $1 will make a difference toward achieving a dream.

So a couple people have now hinted at the idea that Black people didn’t have it so bad post-9/11 because Muslims had it bad. This ignores that there were and are a lot of Black Muslims. This also ignores that more than one group of people can be targeted for state violence. It’s never just one group

Brown is out! They had to do more dancing in their letter because they previously capitulated and needed to reference their previous agreement but, at its core, this reiterates MIT's letter.

The clock is now on for all other institutions.
