Someone tell idiot #DanGoldman that saying 'may be his, but..." is BULLSHIT!

(Hey DANNY! Everyone and his mum knows #AbregoGarcía IS NOT MS13!! There's no 'maybe'! YUTZ!)

FYI, Goldman is the same moron who, in late 2023, showed his genocidal zionazi arse in public whilst Palestinian Congressmember #RashidaTlaib had to be in the same room with this idiot & other zionazis as well as GOP #Christofascists in Congress.

Hey everyone here should watch Tabitha Speaks Politics on YouTube. She gives great breakdowns! But also, she speaks the truth.

Things are getting worse in #Gaza right now, and who is talking about it, the people, Europe, and many of the people who did what they needed to do in 2024 in the U.S.

She makes a fair point here, the three big ones from 2024 #JillStein #RashidaTlaib and #CornellWest seem to have gone silent, where did they go? Where's the fight now that #KamalaHarris and #JoeBiden are gone and (surprise surprise) things are getting worse in Gaza?

#ThirdPartyVote are #Complicit.

Thanks for your time!

"My colleagues always find the time to condemn students protesting genocide, but seem to lose their voices when the apartheid regime they support proudly brags about its war crimes for the world to see. Everyone who has unconditionally supported Israel bears responsibility."

This outrageous story didn't generate a ton of national attention last week, but as someone from the area where it occurred I think it speaks both to the cruelty of DHS's mass deportation campaign and the inhumane lengths the regime will go to solve the logistical problem presented by trying to detain millions of people in order to deport them.

Rashida Tlaib (D-MI12) is reporting that Customs and Border Protection is snatching people on the Ambassador Bridge and detaining them at a holding facility there that is not designed to be used as a long term jail. As this report indicates, conditions are brutal, several American citizens have been detained for days at a time, and most of the families detained there simply made a wrong turn onto a poorly labeled road.

https://truthout.org/articles/tlaib-cbp-has-detained-200-in-michigan-where-people-took-wrong-turn-to-canada/

Tlaib: CBP Has Detained 200 in Michigan Where People Took Wrong Turn to Canada

"Last month, Tlaib visited an immigrant jail where Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) is holding and “disappearing” people who cross the Ambassador Bridge, in Detroit, a one-way toll road.

Between January 20 and March 21, CBP has detained at least 210 people this way, Tlaib discovered, with over 90 percent of them having crossed the bridge by accident, taking the wrong turn on the road — a mistake frequently made by people living in the area, locals say. Tlaib said in a press conference that advocates in Michigan have long called for better signage and directions around the bridge.

Immigration advocates say that the immigrant jail is not built to hold people long term, and that officers have denied detainees proper medical care, food, and access to legal counsel."

Folks, as someone who has driven in the area and almost ended up on that very same bridge, because of that very same road multiple times, I have no problem at all believing ICE snatched up 210 people in two months at that crossing. The important issue here however is that our white nationalist regime is so desperate to meet Trump's fundamentally racist deportation quotas that they're lying in ambush for migrants who are almost certainly not a danger to public safety, just people who struggle with Detroit's byzantine network of roads.

Furthermore, the fact that CBP is shoving entire families into a small facility designed to temporarily hold people trying to cross the border, speaks to the sheer scale of this ongoing ethnic cleansing operation. The United States already has what most believe to be the largest migrant carceral system in the world, and we're repurposing border jails to lock up whole families in horrifying conditions for as long as twelve days? As the article notes, there's already been one suicide attempt at the jail and while I'd argue that caging brown people for being born on the wrong side of an imaginary line was already a crime against human decency, locking people up in a makeshift dungeon without adequate provisions to hold them is an internationally recognized violation of human rights. The fact that we're basically torturing families for making a wrong turn onto the bridge is just the fascist cherry on top of this cruel and repugnant sundae.

A vote for #HaleyStevens is a vote for #Netanyahu. She's an #AIPAC-funded militarist who launched a bad-faith smear campaign against fellow #Democrat #RashidaTlaib in September 2024, just as absentee ballots were being sent out. She probably helped Trump win the state.

@BernieDoesIt he (and everyone in Congress except #rashidatlaib ) lost me at when they decided that a “pragmatic” approach to resisting #genocide is expressly supporting it.

My “purity test” :

Is this person morally consistent in their funding, rhetoric, and voting? Did they vote yes for genocide?

Since 2020, Bernie has done nothing but #sheepdog for the #wokewashing #babyliquifying , #healthcartel, #bankster puppets running the DNC.

@SueInRockville Interesting and highly illustrative to see mention each of these dogshit, #pandering #sheepdogs that approved of #genocide but conspicuously no mention of an actual leftist like #rashidatlaib.

I see you.

#warren #aoc and ESPECIALLY the CIA-affiliated #pritzker are instant red flags for me.
Verdict:
You’re astroturfing support exclusively for fake leftists, trying to co-opt leftism using #stagemanaged #grandstanding #corporatist #posers feigning #resistance.

Is it acceptable for a political figure to call for deportation? In a Newsmax segment, Mercedes Schlapp contemplates deporting Rep. Rashida Tlaib over her pro-Palestinian views, igniting fierce debate on American values and dissent. Such extreme rhetoric reflects a worrying trend in political discourse, reminiscent of far-right militarization. It’s crucial to recognize the implications of labeling dissenters.
