Mayor of Newark and congress members being arrested today.

When will they come for us?

For America's Survival, His Supporters Must Be Ostracized Decent people need to face a really painful truth at this point:

This unapologetic brutality, this senseless waste of life, this asinine global trade war, this stupid squandering of prosperity, this sociopathic predation against citizens and immigrantsβ€”they are collaborators on all of it.

ICE director envisions Amazon-like mass deportation system: 'Prime, but with human beings' ICE officials describe Amazon-style deportation system at Border Expo, seeking private contractors to implement mass removal operations

Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons said his dream is squads of trucks rounding up immigrants for deportation the same way Amazon trucks deliver packages. β€œWe need to get better at treating this like a business, like Amazon Prime, but with human beings.” #3E #EndAutogenocide

Have you noticed something about the ICE victims you have seen rounded up and shipped off? They are all men. Where are the women and children? Asking because the US has criminals in charge who are heavily involved with global trafficking networks. #3E #EndAutogenocide #opDeathEaters

A cartoon by Cori6 compares two scenarios. The top panel, labeled "PROJECT 1938," shows a group of people, including adults and children, disembarking from a train with a ramp, reminiscent of historical deportations. The bottom panel, labeled "PROJECT 2025," depicts a similar group of people disembarking from an airplane using a mobile staircase, suggesting a modern deportation scenario. The cartoon is signed "Cori6" in the bottom right corner.
