They'll talk about how ICE and the border cages are bad (correctly so) but will defend ICE and the border cages when their team funded and used them for the same reasons.

Dunking on Liberals from a leftist, anti-capitalist perspective.
Dems keep working with trump to approve his picks, but what they won't accept is that if you sit down at a table with nazis, the only thing that's changed is the number of nazis at the table. @_cryptagion@lemmy.dbzer0.com
Rules:
- No bigotry of any kind (except towards liberalism).
- No liberals (unless you are a masochist and enjoy the abuse).
- Strictly no downvoting (downvoters may be community banned, 4 the lulz).
- Bernie Sanders is still a liberal.
- This is a genAI friendly instance, so no complaining about genAI content.
We allow posts about liberal behavior even off fedi, shitposts, and rational, leftist discussion.

"what if we slapped some pride flags on the cages, huh? you guys sure love pride flags, wouldn't that make it better?"
I kind of read that in trump voice and i can believe it's something hed pitch if his advisors told him he had to reach across the aisle.
One of the reasons i couldnt take the 'Harris will be better' shit seriously.
Obama: Implements 72 hr holding limitations, gives ICE criminal only focus
Trump: Removes holding limits, creates new holding sites made by private prison contractors, removes ICE criminal only focus (deports less as a result)
Biden: Restores holding limitations, restores ICE focus, nominateD pro-immigrant head of the ICE
Trump 2.0: same shit again but even worse, ignores habeus corpus and deports actual US Citizens, private prison company leaked meeting shows huge celebration.
Maybe we don't have cages to store people for inhumane reasons? Is that too much to ask for?
Yes. How will we have a society without children in cages? Even anarchists agree; it's like the most important thing!
There must be cages, there must be children in them, and they must suffer.
I mean you can ask for anything, the question is what can you actually get.
How about a tv that spies on me?
I don't think you have to ask for that one
And can i get a metaverse, a government sponsored drug that makes me dead inside, a blood born mind control meme virus that only infects computer programmers, a department of book burning, a truly ridiculous surveillance/censorship regime in the UK, and light bulbs that hate me?
Maybe a billionaire trying to live forever by literally stealing his son's body, a ring world over earth, or hologram girlfriend products that manage to be even more fake than the men they fawn over?
With a side of soylent?
Edit: and if we could build an extremely racist bot, maybe some sort of mecha-hitler, put it in charge of some DOD stuff; either a space station where it can try to be god or the nuclear arsenal and maybe we make it do nothing but hate? Ill settle for a spooky castle, if i gotta, but...
Is this just a list of silver age sci fi premises?
No, no; not at all.
Some are more or less recent, but more importantly most are things our billionaire class is trying for.
Oh, i could go for a side of mecha hitler, too. Split a side of mecha-hitler?
I'm full. Also, is your username a chapel perilous reference?
Yep, but for being shit.
Well any friend of RAW is a friend of mine
Never been in a jail cell, huh?
“criminals” being mainly innocent migrant families
He's literally telling me that they deserved being sent into cages for committing crimes right now. He's for the arrest of brown people and stripping of rights of them.
he went to the LW tankiejerk to cry about how we're all very mean tankies. he has now increased his ban from 7 days to 75 years.
Tankies are when you don't support the removal of human rights because they stole a candy bar.
he's just looking out for the prison industry. there's some real value for the shareholders to be had in concentration camps.
Incorrect, criminals meaning past conviction of crime other than immigration.
Otherwise why would Trump remove it?
See, the problem with 72 hour limits is that the child must know only suffering, or the society collapses. If you need to relesse them every 72 fucking hours their experience will be polluted.
