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.

‘Remigration’ is a term that comes out of the European far right. Its use by the DHS account is a sign of democratic and epistemic collapse

I still remember when I first shared this list, people tried to argue with me about if it was real, and got really angry about it.

Honestly, I understand the defense mechanism that prevents most people from processing what's about to happen. I really do.
There's nothing that has happened so far in this admin, that I didn't warn about in excruciating detail in the 1st admin.🤷🏿‍♂️

The last post is from when we narrowly avoided this in 2020... only for centrist dems to screw it up again via racism, and put us right back here for 2024.🤡

They don't learn.

If lives weren’t in the balance, we could dwell on how _risible_ it feels to watch this guy cast as a sentinel of Western civilization, Trump cast as a Christian avenger, and RFK Jr. presented as a paragon of scientific values.

Thankful for all of the writers, translators, and readers who still believe in the possibilities of literature.

Here is the SCHATTENFROH balloon from the Macy’s parade this morning. Slightly smaller than the real book, but what can you do?

ICE deported a woman who owned a home in the US for 30 years. A judge banned ICE from deporting her to Sierra Leone where she had been tortured, so it deported her to Ghana, which kidnapped her and sent her back Sierra Leone anyway. ICE is part of this illegal conspiracy.

Wow — Senators Van Hollen, Smith, Murphy, Sanders, Warren, Markey, Merkley, Heinrich have created an official internal "Fight Club."

They're challenging Schumer & Gillibrand's leadership, arguing the party is using an old, corporate-friendly playbook insufficient to take on Trump or win elections.

What we’re seeing is a repeated and increasingly explicit offer of white reconciliation over a shared commitment to preserving white supremacy.

in the USA if you're a citizen and honk your car horn to warn people about the president's secret masked kidnappers in their unmarked cars they change the license plates on daily they'll smash your car window with the barrel of their loaded firearm, that's my suggestion for thanksgiving family talk
Dipshit is smashing out a car window with his gun, barrel first. Just rogue, cowboy stiff.

There were two US citizens in the car. They were apprehended and detained for “obstructing” ICE by honking their horn to let people know ICE was in the neighborhood.

The teenager told officers he was a U.S. citizen, but an officer broke the car’s driver’s side window and detained him. In a video, the boy can be heard telling an officer that he is a citizen, to which the officer replies, “Get out of the car” and “I don’t care.”

They dragged the mother out by her hair while yelling at the kids to “put your hands up, stupid!”

They lied about it. All of it. A thug cop shot an unarmed woman five times without justification, boasted about it to his colleagues, and then this administration tried cover it all up by arresting her and charging her with felonies.
Absolutely incredible; after shooting Marimar Martinez 5 times and arresting her on claims that she rammed them and pulled a gun, prosecutors have now moved to dismiss ALL criminal charges against her and her codefendant.
New: the govt has moved to dismiss its assault case against Marimar Martinez and Anthony Ian Santos Ruiz, two people accused of "box[ing] in" a Border Patrol vehicle in Chicago on Oct. 4.

One agent shot Martinez, with evidence presented to the court that he later bragged about in text messages.
