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. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating 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 10/19
-
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.

Every single person sent to El Salvador were innocent. Not a single one of them had their due process! This is all bullshit. ICE must be destroyed
Thats the thing. Rounding up people from the street will not catch any criminals (legally speaking), by definition: if they committed a crime, and a judge deemed them guilty, they would be in jail or they would be fugitives. In either case, they are not unknowns, and authorities must've already knew about them. Getting people randomly off the street, you cannot, legally speaking, be catching criminals.
Yep. Innocent until proven guilty, and not a single one of them was so much as indicted, much less charged or convicted. Blatant disregard for the constitution as well as human rights, everyone all the way up the chain of command needs to be prosecuted for this.
the fact that the democrats aren't filing articles of impeachment every single day tells you where they're at
You'd need ~~four~~ twenty Republican senators to convict. I can't imagine that happening.
It'd still be something. Bemoaning "oh there's no point because it's hopeless" gives these fuckers more fuel because the opposition is just etting it happen without any complaints.
It'd be like a cop kneeling on your neck and not bothering to scream "help I can't breathe! they're killing me!" because you've just accepted that they're going to suffocate you to death.
It would be something. Would it be the most effective use of their time? Unlikely.
"Something must be done, this is something, therefore this must be done" is a joke, not something to take seriously.

don't need to convict to gum up the works of government while the fascists try to do their genocide
I don't even think we can gum up the works if we tried. If we try they will just do things without a law saying they can or can't. It's not like they are facing any consequences.
None of that means we shouldn't still try. It does matter.
I don't know where you people are getting the idea I said we shouldn't still try. My comment was in regard to "gumming up the works" which for this administration doesn't matter because they are doing everything outside the law.
You’re right we should just go down with decorum instead of with a fight, it’s the right thing to do 🙄
It's just that fighting lawfully is not enough. There are other ways to fight this, but filing for impeachment won't do it.

Before that, though, we need SOMEONE to actually propose the articles...

You're asking Hitler to get rid of the Gestapo.
This is, unfortunately, incredibly common in law enforcement circles. If you're paranoid, EVERYTHING is gang related somehow.
Not only that, but they circulate bad information among themselves. Booklets about how every sports team has it's own gang affiliation, etc.
From another article, one of the tattoos in question:
The US has a greater obsession with tattoos than Japan by this point. If you go to a place in Japan and show off a tattoo, the owner might ask you to leave. The US they'll gulag your ass.
Only of you're brown, white people with tattoos are perfectly acceptable, just look at all the neonazis
Just look at our current secretary of defense.
That’s only one view, he just posted photos on X with even more white supremacist tattoos.
Now that's a fucking gang tattoo if I've ever seen one. Not like the literal Awareness Ribbon. 🎗️
And the tramp stamps on their bleach blonde bimbos.
Seems like most cops have tattoos now.
Those are the gang tattoos we need to worry about.
It's projection; those are often literal gang tattoos.
Not only that, but they circulate bad information among themselves. Booklets about how every sports team has it’s own gang affiliation, etc.
We all know it's the bowling teams that are the gangbangers. I mean look at them. total miscreants!
DEPORTED!
Fuck you Jesus!
Nobody fucks with the Jesus!
Also, I'm going to add here, the pickleball maffia.
What Nazi Germany classed as "untermenschen:"
- People of Jewish descent
- People of Slavic descent
- People of African descent
- People of Romani descent
- Homosexuals
- The mentally disabled
- The physically disabled
- Political dissidents
- POWs
Qualifying people were dehumanized, arrested and initially deported, but eventually taken to camps and either systematically exterminated or put into slavery.
It's not enough to say that there are parallels, America is playing exactly by the Nazi guide book.
Also worth noting they basically learned all that from Andrew Jackson the first time around
I know we're largely focused on stopping Trump, and we need to.
But how do we save these guys?
The courts might be able to stop future renditions, but the president or Congress have the power to end this or return them. Congress could cut off the funding (bribes) to El Salvador or president could force them to release people.
Get NATO Countries (excluding the US, obviously) to send the military to liberate El Salvador.
Edit: Reworded for clarification
Monroe doctrine saber rattling against Europe intensifies
That is not how NATO works or what it is
Not saying we shouldn't try to free political undesirable prisoners, just saying that that is not what NATO is for, won't happen

Are there Non-Nato countries with a military capable and willing to do that?

America has its Gestapo now. How much longer until they create SS that swears fealty not to the US but to Trump?
That was 10 years ago. DHS is the Gestapo you're seeing now, courtesy of the Patriot Act. They've already sworn fealty to Trump. People are looking at January 6th as an isolated event, but it proved how far the right-wing could get if they wanted to forcefully take over the government.
This is the only standard by which the Trump administration operates.
Just being a white male isn't enough any more.
Republicans: Meh, what's the big deal?
