Nothing will meaningfully improve until the rich fear for their lives
Can we just scrap the Untied States and start over? This franchise needs a reboot
We have a constitution so old as to be a relic, antique. No well run democracy still uses a constitution that old, because they’ve made huge improvements in the past couple centuries. We should absolutely start from scratch.
The cowardice of it being an unsigned letter is almost the most galling part. Sniveling authoritarian cowards
When no one signs, they all signed
Except those who dissented publicly, right? Pretty sure Sotomayor was pretty publicly pissed off at the rest of the court.
So many people here are always pushing this “they’re all the same” bullshit and it’s starting to get very fucking tired.
It is so goddamn disingenuous.
The voices of reason are becoming outweighed here.
Yeah so let’s just ignore that they exist.
You misunderstood me, possibly because you were telling me to go fuck myself on another post. “Assaultpotato” is a voice of reason on this post. People read a news story about the Supreme Court staying an order and now want to impeach the whole Court?
I’m afraid the politics and news communities hosted on Lemmy servers are falling off the deep end.
It was one commenter and the following comments rebuking them are much more highly upvoted. It’s maybe a bit early to stick a fork in it.
When no one signs, they all signed
Has 8:1 upvotes to downvotes.
Well. Yeah?
They’re powerless, they might as well not exist. The only purpose they serve is keeping even more fascists off the Court.
What a braindead take.
You say that, but majorities across the board are razor thin. Assuming there’s still midterms a lot of this can be flipped.
The courts of course will be harder to fix
… but we were talking about the Courts?
Cool. So if I join ICE, am I allowed to sneak up on random people and toss em in my van?
You don’t even have to join. ICE wears plainclothes, drives unmarked vehicles, wears masks, and never shows their badge. Anyone can be ICE.
Their recruiters admire your ambition and will be in touch.
Well, brown people, yeah. I thought that was obvious.
Impeach them all
Yeah let’s get rid of them, especially the liberal justices, so they can be replaced by… Donald Trump?
Say what you want about Kavanaugh but I’d be willing to bet he’d look like a Boy Scout compared to whoever Trump would nominate today.
What a weird response.
How is that weird? Getting rid of these justices ends exactly how I described. Unless you get rid of Trump first then removing SC justices will just put you in an even worse spot.
Your logic is weird. I said impeach them ALL. What do you think I meant by ALL?
All the SC justices since that is what the article you’re commenting on is about. Not sure why you think anyone who can’t read your mind is weird. That idea is the only weird thing I see going on in this conversation.
Clearly the peaceful protests are working!
At the last protest, I embraced a crying queer young adult for over an hour, because they were completely beside themselves.
They had a mental breakdown because they didn’t even realize they were living with so much stress and fear these past few months.
And when they finally summoned the courage to show up to their very first protest in their young life, they SO relieved that so many people CARED about that happened to them that it completely overwhelmed them.
So please and kindly, shut the fuck up.
A lot of folks forget that peaceful protests are a great way to get people together and doing something, even if that something is initially just catharsis. Even if things escalate to… let’s say spray painting JD Vance oompa loompa graffiti everywhere… forming up at protests is how you can make that happen.
Thanks for being there. We need more people like you.
Thank you for helping that person
And I’ll do it again, and again if I have to.
They looked about ready to hang themselves, I’m just so glad they managed to hang on for so long.
And if we were able to actually EFFECTUATE CHANGE they’d never have to feel that way again. So YOU can kindly shut the fuck up and see about making things happen rather feeling better about the shit going down. Because when they come for you, or your friend, or whoever, you know that hat they’ll say? Fuck your feelings. And by then it’ll either be WAAAAAAAYYYY harder to fix, or completely impossible. I’m more of “stitch in time saves nine” person, not a “oh shit everything has gone to hell just like we’d been warned for a long, long time so now let’s see if they’ll listen to us as we address them reasonably (even though that approach has been ridiculed, mocked, and shown 100% ineffective against these clowns and the Nazis that came before them)” person.
Wooooooosh
Lemme know how cumbaya sounds in El Salvador. Or Libya. Or wherever the fuck you end up.
Talk talk talk. Go start a gang then. Make the next Black Panthers. You won’t celebrate little wins for potential allies because your wrath pushes you to demand more. That’s the same productivity squeezing mentality of a Walmart middle manager.
That is, assuming you aren’t a plant trawling around for dissidents to investigate.
Wow, with this level of hate I’ll just sit back and watch them come for you. Fuck everyone who is just sitting here watching things happen - I HOPE you find out how pointless what you’re doing is!
With all due respect (none), you’re literally worse than useless. Maybe you can collect a check from the CIA, since you’re doing what they normally do (actively harming discourse in politically left leaning spaces) for free.
Additionally, if that is what you classify as hate, then maybe your skin isn’t thick enough to actually do the hard work of fixing shit, of taking the power back. You’re probably better suited to activities that are far more subservient, things like boot taste testing, or nazi apologia.
Your reactionary bullshit isn’t helping anyone.
I ain’t scared, but it looks like you are.
That’s what they want, so that you will not even try.
I bet you’re not living up to your screen name at all you simp for assholes
This isn’t hyperbole.
F to doubt
BTW, I could not connect this headline to the stay announced yesterday which everyone had already commented on. That’s how bad this headline is. Deportations became “abductions” and “disappearances.” Now they’re “human trafficking.”
I hope this rhetoric plays better with the general public than “weird.”
What do you call it when people in plain clothes, wearing masks and refusing to identify themselves as law enforcement literally abduct people (and their fucking terminally ill children), and put them on a flight to a prison in a country that they have never been to and have zero connection to? What is that called?
This is literally human trafficking. Go fuck yourself for acting like this is in any way normal.
This is literally human trafficking.
Provide a definition from a credible reference.
the act of recruiting, transporting, transferring, harboring, or receiving individuals through force, fraud, or coercion for the purpose of exploitation.
the unlawful act of transporting or coercing people in order to benefit from their work or service, typically in the form of forced labor or sexual exploitation.
Both these definitions specify exploitation in some fashion.
Go fuck yourself for acting like this is in any way normal.
Get a hold of yourself? Outrage over words we can look up is stupid. 🤡
If they actually were law enforcement, it’s called deportation. The fact that they go about it in scummy ways is important but doesn’t make the rhetoric accurate.
The way the deportations are happening is not normal.
This is not how deportation works, as evidenced by the fact that the Supreme Court heard the case in the first place.
Up until this decision, this is never how deportation has worked. They changed the definition here.
Deportations involve due process.
These are not deportations.
Donald loves the poorly uneducated.
I don’t see what you didn’t do there.
