It's insane that the government is doing this to circumvent the law... It's absolutely barbaric, and completely unimaginable before Trump.

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Where da pizzagate people at?
ICE are child traffickers.
Remember when Texas was sending busloads of migrants north to sanctuary cities?
Why? It's not like ICE adheres to court orders or the law anyway ...
UNKNOWN, HEAVILY ARMED, and UNACCOUNTABLE Men are Kidnapping Children and Disappearing them DESPITE Court Orders? Quick! Shoot up a Drag Show to Protect The Children!
-Republicans LITERALLY!
Have to make it the law that ICE transfers cross state can't happen for 7 full days or something.
If laws were enforced in the first place, we wouldn't be in this mess.
What laws prevent deportation of human beings from stolen land? Because that's the real "mess", not merely the hamfisted way Trump's brownshirts are going about it.
It's not like they would care.
Yeah, then what?
Think just 1 chess move ahead, dude.
What the fuck man
Not to mention making it easier for republicans to molest children.
Sshhh, they don't want everyone to know about their human trafficking of children. That will spoil all their fun.
everyone already knows
Apparently, only the people that DON'T vote know.
people who vote for trump know but ignore it.
Yes. This is literally fascist soldiers invading bordering states and capturing people. This isn't enforcement, these are barbarian raids, and we need to start responding to them as such.
What we have learned from this is that ALL of the state, county, and municipal police and military assets are entirely useless at actually protecting the people of the state. The are nothing more than public money cash grabs intended to offset the cost of corporate security to the tax payers. They don't work for us, so lets stop paying for it and replace this shit with something that does.
I don't dare fight back because they'd kill me, and then my family would have no income
Thing is, when you "stop paying for it", you'll learn quickly what the actual function of those institutions is.
We need to reach a critical mass to where opting out, collectively, does more harm than they're able or willing to tolerate. I thought for a long time we couldn't reach it without improving the education system... which requires working within the system... which requires selling your soul, endorsing genocide, etc. But now I'm starting to question that - maybe we can grassroots it after all.
My concern is that the momentum in that direction will be squashed when Democrats inevitably get elected over Republicans (because I don't think they have the political capital to pull of a coup at this point), as liberals will think they "won" because now the deportations are less in-your-face and the genocide is presented less in terms of "FUCK YEAH GLASS THE DESERT" and instead presented as "well it's terrible, so terrible, very sad, but Israel is our ally.."
Yeah, I think you are likely right about the outcome here. The sad thing is that the ENTIRE ICE/BP bullshit is literally just Trump trying to beat Biden and Obama's deportation numbers but being too stupid to do it in a way that doesn't make it look as horrible as it is, and most of the tools he is using to DO that horrible shit are tools that were put into place by Democratic administrations. The Democrats are no friends to the immigrant and simply shifting to their authority won't do anything but make it easier for white people to ignore what is happening.
They are trafficking children like they did during the Family Separation debacle. The pretty ones get sold to sex slavers, the rest get sold as house slaves to Oligarchs. Anybody that causes trouble gets sent on a camping trip to the Everglades.
SUUUUUPER Hot Take: The PSTD and Trauma is the price to pay for being prematurely evacuated from the impending Sahara sized food desert that will encompass the USA before 2030. (Sorry morbid humour is my coping mechanism)
I'm being HELLA-facetious here. Like it's ultra fucked up what they're doing.
But like America is FUCKED. >70% of the food is ultra processed. Of that remaining 30% over half of that is imported from regions that are experiencing agriculture interrupting climate change.
There is going to be massive food scarcity and malnutrition on levels that even Great Depression survivors have never experienced.
The US produces so much food that it's people do not eat. We grow corn to turn into shitty fuel, or to feed to cows in another country. And we also grow soybeans to feed to Chinese farm animals. Millions of tons of food get shipped away
From here in Canada it looks a lot like, instead of governing responsibly, the USA is burning up its own land in the expectation that when things get tough it can just take ours.
That's exactly what it feels like!
I fled the US and definitely have both of those things.
People in the US don't (or do) realize how much collective trauma we've all endured. Any time a car backfires in a crowded area, the resulting stampede makes the news. People don't generally live like that in other countries.
I can't remember the last time I heard a car backfire.
You must not live in an area where dumbasses paying tons of money to ruin their cars with crackle "tunes" is popular yet, then.
There's one asshat with a Mustang around here that he's got deliberately set to backfire about twenty times every time he takes is foot off the gas, and he goes ripping up and down the main drag all night. I've timed him and you can quite literally hear him coming from about two miles away.
I'm a pretty live-and-let-live sort of bird, but damn, bro. Give it a rest after midnight, will you?
Yea I'm not trying to make light of the life long damage these children are receiving.
But like I genuinely believe thousands to millions of americans will starve within the next 10 years.
Whatever else the prior admins did, they kept the products and food and fuel flowing into the states.
The Trump admin bombed it all. So yes, we will start to have shortages soon.
Yeah I think Trump actually could've been a successful dictator if he had just... you know... materially improved the lives of the population before burning down all of our institutions. People don't believe in America, they're not going to cling to the ideal if their lives meaningfully improve while it's trashed. But he didn't do that.
Much like Season 1 Trump, but a little scarier imo, I think the administration's greed and incompetence will be our only saving grace. Though the increasingly-militant resistance is also a very good sign.
