New to Bluesky, I’m a consummate procrastinator so it will be 6 months before I write a decent profile. At the end of 2016 I was gutted by what was about to unfold, now that feels like a luxury there isn’t time for

If we can capture another country's president, can another country come and capture ours? Asking for a friend.

In New Orleans, the newly elected sheriff may preside over the construction of a new psychiatric jail that community advocates fear could be commandeered by ICE: “Once a carceral facility is built, there’s no control over what bodies are put there.”

Pay attention. Believe that they are planning the worst.
For folks still struggling with the math:
There are ~345 million US citizens.
There are ~245 million white US citizens.
This is what they mean by "Peaceful ethnic cleansing." Their plan ends with deporting all non-white people.
Not "undocumented criminals."
Not even "all undocumented people."

This should not be shrugged aside. They have stopped with the fake 22 million illegal immigrants things and are flat out saying we want to deport 10's of millions of citizens and legal residents from "third world countries" Basically they are advocating removing 1/3 of the population on a gov site.
