Minorities are political opponents as far as they’re concerned.

For what it’s worth, the sheriff who transferred the marine to ICE says he’ll no longer do it without a judicial warrant.

I used to joke about whenever i was stop-searched by babylon that they had me on suspicion of possessing a brown skin.

Now its policy.

You are really depressing me today! I feel a bit helpless.

Facebook logon and activity sounds like something pretty easy to subpoena and verify.

Well to be fair, it could have been a kid or maybe her house slave getting on her account, right?

I’m not familiar with his show, does anyone know why he’s broadcasting alongside the Crypt Keeper?

Lately when I click on a Twitter link I get: Something went wrong. Try again.

That’s a pretty twisted way of looking at a Biblical passage about the walls around New Jerusalem. I guess you can twist anything to make viewers feel better about themselves and their hate.

Today I heard an anti-vaxxer Trump supporter blame measles outbreaks in the US on illegal immigrants, railing about how we need to keep them out of the country so his kids don’t get sick.

There’s no point to this story other than I felt the need to share because my head is about to explode.

Well that’s an abuse of scripture. The same chapter from Revelation to which he’s referring says New Jerusalem walls will have gates that never close.


I had not noticed the details in this story (from a while ago) that she was a regular at the border checkpoint and had her passport with her as she literally crossed the border daily to go to school…

Watching DJT lie through his ass with every sentence he splutters is seriously bad optics.

Edit: I guess this was posted in the other wall thread, but relevant here too I suppose.

Under Japanese law the cops can arrest and detain anyone for up to 48 hours without any due process. They just have to think you committed a crime.

And yet, unless something has changed recently, if I’ve heard right, plea bargaining isn’t a thing, so flipping lower level criminals to get the goods on the bigger fish doesn’t happen.

Immigration in the USA.

They want to “follow the law”. That sounds nice. But the law in both intent and effects have been racist for a long time. It’s like saying the civil right was about state’s rights. Yes, the state’s right to own slaves.

1882: Chinese Exclusion Act.

1921: The Emergency Quota Law of 1921 limits the number of immigrants entering the U.S. each year to 350,000 and implements a nationality quota. Immigration from any country is capped at 3% of the population of that nationality based on the 1910 census. The law reduces immigration from eastern and southern Europe while favoring immigrants from Northern Europe.

1965: Immigration act of 1965 - no nationality quotas but 20k per country, and 170k total from Asia. First time ever, it caps Western immigration at 120k. Preference system for family members of US citizens.

The other pillar is demand for low-skilled labor. The current system, as Sharpe explains frequently and well, leads to a two-tiered labor system with a pliant workers for construction, factories, slaughterhouses, restaurants, etc. Wanna pump some foam insulation in the attic? Wait, that shit gives you cancer. Better hire someone to do it for you.

There is room for a somewhat rational racist system if you squint from a native-born low-skill population. It is easy to blame people who are willing to work for less. Not that the companies would ever consider paying people more, you bloody commie.

Watching the finale of the HBO series Years and Years right now and it brought to mind a chilling scene from a previous episode which is worth thinking about with regard to these detention camps with the horrible conditions (Emma Thompson really sells ruling class evil here):
