It's time for a new underground railroad. Being sent to El Salvador is a death sentence. You're never coming home, and in all likelihood, I believe most people who are being/will be sent there will be executed. I don't even buy the forced labor narrative.
They're kidnapping US citizens based on skin tone and politics. The more they get away with it, the more they will escalate. In a month or two, it could be thousands of people a day. We don't even know the full extent of it because not every single person being kidnapped is a news story or has anyone to advocate for them. This is white supremacy in action. This is an advanced stage of ethnocide.
Resistance to this has to be violent, not my desire, nor am I stating my intent to do so. But it has to be. The law isn't going to stop them. Every deportation has to cost them as much as possible. In property, in money, in time and in public opinion. Every single person who has a cell phone needs to be ready to record and post online anything they see. Black bloc protests have to happen. ICE headquarters, facilities, and vehicles need to be trashed. Nothing else is going to make a difference. When people are being kidnapped, witnesses should record and intervene. Harass the officers. Block their way so they can't move. This is fascism, antifascist tactics are required to resist it.
This is, functionally, the concentration camps.
Actually it's the most trumpian thing of all to offshore concentration camps. I'm on board with this explanation.
Auschwitz was never on german grounds, hence it also is the most hitlerian thing.
I said this to my boss. We’re in BC and work in the marine industry. She’s really worried about, well everything, and doesn’t know how she can help. I told her we work on boats, we all have boats, there will be a new Underground Railroad, and where we are will mean boats. I’m not letting people die down there if I can help get them out.
Know anybody on the east coast who could participate? I'm becoming truly scared at this point.
I want in. I'll help conduct.
It doesn't have to be violent, but it has to be direct. You want to "deport" US citizens? You'll need someone to drive the bus full of people to the airport, someone from the airport to open the gate, someone else to fuel the plane, a mechanic to sign off on the plane, two pilots to fly the plane, and at least three separate air traffic controllers just to clear the plane out of US airspace. It just takes one of those people to say no.
47% of Americans today APPROVE of what Trump is doing. You really think he's going to have a hard time finding a couple thousand people to do his most heinous stuff? You're going to convince people to say no?
Be real.

Then making them afraid of saying "Yeah, ok boss." is what's left on the table I guess?
