MUTINY: We're taking back this ship

📍 Dallas/Guam
Pinned
I've been borrowing books from Dallas Public Library for years & always just used my DL on checkout. I didn't even know they had an actual card until today.

It features Brad Oldham's iconic affable Traveling Man & Bird friend reading together. I got choked up holding it.

I💗my library.

A reminder for those who are not aware: "remigration" is the process of deporting all non-white people from a country. It includes citizens and is, by definition, ethnic cleansing.

And to be clear: this is not fake. I just screenshot it myself.

Reminder that in high school, Tucker Carlson listed himself as a member of the "Dan White Society," named after the man who shot and killed Harvey Milk, the first openly gay elected official.

I am routinely disappointed to see seemingly awake/aware folks using a deeply fraught & offensive phrase "banana republic" AT ALL but especially in relation to our current abhorrent, & genocidal regime.

This 2016 piece from @thebaffler.com is a vital read.

And liberals want to make it about when he got asylum? As if that doesn't play right into Miller's narrative? This is a consequence of a bipartisan military complex and addiction to brutality. Grow up.

The DC shooting story is really getting to me because we literally trained this man as a child soldier for a death squad in a forever war and Stephen Miller et al want to blame it on other cultures? It's our culture, American culture, that killed that woman.

No one has had a harder time assimilating to life in the United States than Stephen Miller and all he’s ever tried to do is make the rest of us live inside the slime bladder of his deranged soul
Stephen Miller is now arguing that assimilation is fundamentally impossible and that certain cultures are not compatible with Western civilization

The 1965 law has not been repealed or overturned.

It ties the hands of the US President under our Constitution.

His urges to return us to the poisons of the distant past are just that, urges.

He has no power to act on them unless and until Congress gives him that authority.

Calling those laws “racist” is not an opinion.

The co-author of the 1924 act, which had cemented pan-Asian and African exclusion, wrote in the NY Times that his goal was to “preserve the race”.

That law was created in 1965 explicitly and specifically to bar future presidents from returning to the days of Asian and African exclusion under the prior laws of 1882, 1917, 1921, and 1924.

The President cannot ban people from developing countries—categorically—from immigrating.

He cannot even set special, lower quotas for those countries.

Our laws bar him from even trying.

It does not matter how much the most racist nativists would enjoy it if he could.

He cannot.

The United States is a country of laws. It is not a dictatorship.

Congress determines immigration under our Constitution.

Congress explicitly, specifically barred the President from banning entire nationalities from immigrating.

Personally I these white men just need to assimilate to the real Indigenous values of America, responsible stewardship of land & use of resources, cooperative community governance, hospitality, honor of spirit, instead of refusing to relinquish their barbaric European culture, we'd be better off.
Trump is doing 95% of the shit the Declaration of Independence was written about so Miller was kind of spot on about importing the horrors of… England.

St. Paul police brutally assault locals defending their neighbors from ICE, then absurdly accuse the locals of being "professional agitators."

"We are not your adversary. We are your police."

They support ICE with violence, just as they murder with impunity. They are, in fact, our adversaries.
