For all the Trump administration’s talk of saving money and increasing “government efficiency,” the president demanded that huge amounts be appropriated in the Republicans’ recent budget bill to fund his mass-deportation program.
In all, $170 billion was set aside to be spent over the next four years for border and immigration enforcement. This total includes $45 billion to create a sprawling detention system (nearly five times the annual budget for the Bureau of Prisons), $30 billion for ICE operations, $46.6 billion for more border wall construction, and, as if that weren’t enough, a new $10 billion border patrol slush fund.
This level of funding is unprecedented. ICE is now the highest-funded law enforcement agency in the country. And that fact raises a question: What exactly are they going to do with all that money?
Fine them. Find their families. Publish their info.
It’s too bad a doxxing website for ICE would get shut down easily or the operators disappeared…
…otherwise I’d totally create it.
No wonder they went so hard against antifascist early on…
We know what they want to do with the money because we saw WWI and WWII; create an army directly responsive to the president to facilitate ethnic cleansing and usher in eugenics.
The GOP-dominated US federal government continues its malevolent efforts to Make America Grotesque AF
.308 SBR’s to the rescue.
I wish those of us who stood on “moral righteousness” when voting (in this case not voting) had enough brain power to think about the genocide they helped to trigger back home.

how is this helping Gazans? things don’t seem any better to me in the levant
Become brown shirts of course, silly rabbit.
Disaster in the making? It’s already a fucking disaster. ICE agents have been granted additional slack above and beyond that already extended to normal cops, who frequently abuse it. This is going to be a fucking American Kristallnacht for Latinos, with more groups set to follow in the wake of these broad constitutional and legal abuses.
it’s true that our current situation is a disaster. it does not diminish the fact that an even bigger disaster is being constructed while we process and attempt to repair this disaster. the old ice agents are bad, evil, and cruel, but they were also all recruited under a different framing of what ICE is supposed to be. the new ones will have absolutely no compunctions, no reservations, and no hesitations.
We are going to see some real Abu Graib type shit in no time at all with the culture of abuse and rushed training. But will any of the immovable 40% who voted for this start to question our embrace of cruelty on a national level? Meh…Look at the baubles!
We heard from that recording, $10k per arrest/deport.
Honestly if I have no other ways to feed myself and family, I will take it.
“If I have no others way to […] I would totally work in the Auschwitz showers”.
Since we’re this low on morality I’m sure you can also get a job in the Russian military or in the IDF. Who wouldn’t mind stomping on some babies as long as you get some minor checks?
Times are tough, but that doesn’t excuse becoming a fascist’s foot soldier. Join a union, organise, protest, fight for a better life, become politically active. You still have the pretence of democracy in America, use it.
Times are tough, we all could use a helping hand
Troubles weighing on your mind, quickly sinking in this sand
Thinking thoughts about your future, trapped on this hellish land
I heard that death is what happens while you’re making other plans
Looking 'round for help, may as well dig the grave yourself
Make your way out of the hole you made, you’ve got to save yourself
You’ve got to save your selfRun, run, run, you ain’t never gonna win
Looking right, looking left, or at her, or at him
You ain’t never gonna be anything that you wanna be
If you play it safe and place your real dreams under lock and keyYeah, no one’s gonna help you 'cause this world is so cold
And it likes to make examples out of all the brave and boldBut you’ve got to carry forward, can’t afford to lose your soul
You don’t look around for help, you’ve got to do it on your own
You’ve got to save… your… selfFight, fight, fight, just as hard as you can
Change your luck, change your style, change the cards in your hand
I know life’s getting peak, it’s a mountain to climb
With the worry in your heart and that doubt on your mind\Yeah, no one’s gonna help you 'cause this world is so cold
And it likes to make examples out of all the brave and bold
But you’ve got to carry forward, can’t afford to lose your soul
You don’t look around for help, you’ve got to do it on your own
You’ve got to save… your… selfSave yourself!
Well said. You are a very kind person.
Sure, just don’t be shocked if your victim decides “If the only way to defend my family is to blow this fed’s head off with a shotgun, I’ll take it.”
Probably doesn’t end well for that person, but you’ll still be dead and distinctly not supporting your family anymore. Hopefully the conservative gofundme can tide them over.
Honestly, I’d do that for fun if the opportunity presented itself.
I’m sorry I would die that way, better keep finding other ways to live I guess. But I’m even sorrier that a few cases like that will probably feed DJT the third term.
If anyone sees Nazis getting killed and thinks “those poor Nazis!! They have families!” They’re a shit person. Genuinely all Nazis can kill themselves today, thanks.
If that makes you want to vote for trump ANY more than you do now, you can also kill yourself.
You are describing half of Americans. And I agree with you.
Where can we gofundme the guy with the shotgun?
This is how they will do their kristelnacht (day of the rope)
They are gathering data on all of us
That is what the army is for
It’s Kristallnacht, Christel has nothing to do with any of this.
Night of Broken Glass, dude
they’re saying america’s version will be broad daylight lynchings. he’s translating not the german to english, but the nazi to maga
My bad
