USians are going to learn what UKians learnt with the Brexit soon. Good luck guys!.
The FO part is about to happen for Trump supporters. Once they realize the impact this will have on them.
This wouldn’t be possible without a bunch of people already working for the new administration over the current one. I’m deeply concerned about how quickly and efficiently they are doing things—the opposite of the incompetence that was the hallmark of his first administration.
Those people are the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
They also happily did the dirty work last time when they put children in cages very efficiently. There’s a documentary showing how excited they were to finally be allowed to beat up brown people without consequences.
Meanwhile we were all entertained by the media showing Trump walking weirdly down a slope and drinking from a bottle using both hands.
Good luck, my American siblings. I’m very afraid of what is going to happen.
This is fucking terrifying.
I honestly don’t really know what to do. Operations and infrastructure and precedent like this will not be limited in scope to immigrants, if it’s allowed to get rolling.
Allowed to get rolling… who is going to stop it? The republicans control the entire federal government.
Yeah. I think it’s going to be allowed to get rolling.
Terrifying
You’re a hero.
Paywall. A fucking paywall. Are you FUCKING KIDDING ME RIGHT NOW???
Wall Street Journal is owned by the same people as Fox News. It’s another arm of the propaganda, just aimed at smarter victims. There’s plenty of true stuff in there, but they’re definitely not the good guys.
Reader bypasses it.
The incoming Trump administration is planning a large-scale immigration raid in Chicago next week, according to four people familiar with the planning, the first move in President-Elect Donald Trump’s promised mass deportation campaign.
The raid is expected to begin on Tuesday morning, a day after Trump is inaugurated, and will last all week, the people said. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement will send between 100 and 200 officers to carry out the operation.
Bit odd to announce where it is. Don’t go to work next week if you’re in Chicago I guess.
I actually think this makes sense - it’s a way to normalize it.
Like his awful cabinet picks, Trump’s team leaks this information, everyone is immediately upset, but by Tuesday it’ll be, “as expected, Trump carried out raids in Chicago.” Additionally, those he is targeting have a chance to hide, thereby avoiding combining the news of the raids with visceral shocking imagery in reporting. This raid will be more for show, but things will get worse in steps, as we get used it each level of barbarity.
If I’m right, that’s why they released it on a Friday night.

Thank you. I tried using archive extensions with no luck, just got blocked repeatedly. Maybe I’m using it wrong.
Is that the entire article though or is there more?
They’re doing some weird things right now I think. I was posting a big paragraph about peak oil on slrpnk.net a couple hours ago and that’s when slrpnk went down. Maybe I’m just paranoid.
Tried to grab a copy from archive.is and it just says in bold: You have been blocked.
C.R.E.A.M.
This guy is going to intentionally tank the economy at the behest of Papa Putin.
All according to plan, and 50% of the population think they want it 🤣
Have fun Americans, show the rest of the world why being red is a bad idea so we can stop slipping that way for another couple of years. Tbh I would have thought Brexit would have shown that but I guess Americans didn’t want to be outdone on stupid self destructive acts.

200 officers to Chicago aren’t going to last long. 20,000 wouldn’t even do it.
Now there ain’t but 20,000 police in the whole town!
Riffs!
