    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.

      And where do you “deport” people who were born in America (once they end birthright citizenship and/or just don’t care)?

      They’ve already purchased land in TX and NJ (disappointing af, c’mon Murphy) for “detention facilities.” If needed, they could use the same law that was used to intern US citizens of Japanese descent during WW2. There is also recent precedent for separating families and putting kids in cages.

      By the way, they told us this was going to happen like at least a year ago. Explicitly. I’m not talking vague insinuations, they spelled it out in Project 2025. This should be a surprise to no one.

      This is going to get very bad.

        Probably no one can stop it immediately but it’s up to citizens to run interference as much as we can safely.

        If you are in Chicagoland connect with your local orgs, I guarantee you there are some people strategizing against this.
