Literally disappearing people off the street

Didn't the U.S. fight a war against a country and its leader who did the same shit? I was never very proud to be an American because this country has done some fucked up shit since 1776. But this is downright terrifying to me as someone who is disabled and considered a parasite by Elon because if they aren't stopped after this then it's game over for any "non-white" people, LGBTQ+, and poor people in general to be disappeared.

This may be why they want Greenland so bad šŸ¤”

I learned my lesson about ā€œlifetimeā€ thanks to SiriusXM.

When Howard Stern got lured to SiriusXM they offered a deal where you buy the receiver and pay $500 for a lifetime subscription with unlimited transfers to different receivers. Fat forward to 2017ish when I bought my last car that had the receiver built into the radio and tried to transfer to the new one. I was told that was the last time I would be able to do that and in the future I’d be paying a $75 transfer fee and be forced into a monthly subscription.

Lifetime is a hoax.

Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) traveled to El Salvador on Wednesday, but officials refused to let him visit an erroneously deported Maryland man who the Supreme Court has ordered returned to the United States.

Because he's dead

Ramirez, in a letter to House Homeland Security Committee chair Mark Green (R-Tenn.) first obtained by Axios, requested he authorize an official CODEL to El Salvador.

Given that the Administration's use of CECOT for illegal and unconstitutional deportations is rife with 'administrative errors' ... I urgently request a CODEL to conduct oversight," she wrote.

The song Hotel California comes to mind here.

Reps. Jason Smith (R-Mo.) and Riley Moore (R-W.Va.) both shared photos of themselves at the notorious maximum security prison on Wednesday in posts on X praising the administration's deportation policies.

I can't even.....WTF

And there it is. Combine this "accident" with the Death Master List and you have a recipe for "accidentally" ruining people's lives who are retired or disabled. We know how this administration handles mistakes now as well.

What does a person who is declared dead but indeed still alive do when this happens and they lose income, housing, and medical insurance? Asking for a very terrified friend.....

I'm on disability and the last couple of weeks I've been thinking that I haven't been thinking rationally about this situation and that I'd be homeless if my SSDI suddenly disappeared or was clawed back. My therapist considers it catastrophizing.

Turns out my fears ARE rational, we're just living in a completely irrational timeline.

"No basis in logic"

No shit, this whole administration has no basis in logic. Just look at Project 2025 and the progress they've made on it in a little over 2 months.

Oh hey, look! I don't have a Real ID or a Passport. I already can't fly or enter federal buildings. Now I won't be able to vote? They're basically making it a requirement to have a Real ID or Passport to be considered a citizen at this point.

Millions of poor people are about to lose their U.S. citizenship is what this sounds like it's coming to.

The thing that bothers about this is the rampant speculation that is happening because of the state of American society right now. Will we ever know the truth for sure from the ME performing the autopsy given how extremely politicized things are right now? I don't know.

The article, and a few other articles I've read all indicate that she resigned from being a US Attorney before Trump had his second inauguration. People here have provided links to information that she was responsible for investigating Israeli and Russian people suspected of criminal activity. I remained incredibly skeptical that this wasn't anything other than pure coincidence.

Until I read a very interesting Substack article that goes a little deeper and makes the timing even more strange because she actually resigned THE DAY OF TRUMP'S SECOND INAUGURATION according to her Wikipedia. I got the Substack article from the "Talk" page on her Wikipedia.

Usually when people resign they give a slight indication of where they are going to go to next. Claims are that she wasn't forced out. But all of this together just doesn't feel right -- her exit from being a U.S. Attorney and her subsequent unfortunate passing just bothers me.

And Schumer will send another strongly worded letter.

Freaking ass had the chance to alter history potentially and he fucked it up.

Ok, so does this kick off WW3 or are other nations just going to roll over and allow this to happen?

How the hell is this even a plausible timeline we’re living in?

Meanwhile, in the U.S. I'm sitting here wondering if we'll even have a flu shot available for next winter, let alone a new vaccine that can protect from Covid and the common cold.

Anything demeaning another human in an effort to make them less than everyone else is pure hatred and is hate speech.

I worked in retail for 7 years. Every damn Sunday we would get at least one customer in their Sunday best turn into an impatient, vile, insulting human being towards us because of something in the weekly ad or whatever. I wasn't particularly religious despite attending Catholic school for every grade until high school graduation, but this solidified my loss of faith even more.

Oh, and it was a tiny bit of an influence on me becoming an alcoholic too! Yay!

Trump said. ā€œI’d like to include them in the group of people to get them out of the country. But you’ll have to be looking at the laws.ā€

As someone on SSDI, Medicaid/Medicare, and in HUD housing….. I’ve been terrified since Jan 20th. But I had hope that this bullshit might be stopped because I foolishly believed the Democrats would grow a fucking spine.

All these people who keep telling me I’m over exaggerating (on both sides) — especially my own family — will be shocked when I’m homeless or disappeared in the next few months.

This is a nightmare that never ends. I just want to wake up and for it all to be over.

Oh this just keeps getting more and more fun every day as someone who is on SSDI, Medicaid/Medicare, and HUD housing. Cut my SSDI and I lose access to everything. I mean it's "illegals" now, the rest of us "parasites" next?

There was a traffic stop a month or so ago where the city police were called by BP for assistance and they actually assisted them in kidnapping people. The mayor is pissed and says that can't happen due to our sanctuary city status (since 1986) and now the federal government is suing us. We have a HUGE population of immigrants from all over the world here as refugees and to attend our two universities and this is going to get ugly.

The head of C&BP is coming to my city this week because of all this. Something tells me ICE is going to be crawling all over this city the whole week and longer. BP already crawls all over the city because we're on the northern border.

I live in a HUD building. I see ICE searches without warning in my near future because of how many immigrants are here. My cane might be useful for more than just balancing me while walking.

Does this asshat realize that the only non-immigrants in this country are the Native Americans? I mean even after 9/11 there weren't mass deportations of people of Middle Eastern descent. Racism and prejudice, yes, but this is ridiculous all because of Fentanyl?

I have a better and more empathetic idea -- meet people where they are and help them find a path that works for them to get out of the addiction spiral. This is just going to lead to an increase in drug prices, which will lead to even more crime.

I am terrified this is going to happen to me being on SSDI and in HUD housing. Glad to know my fears are justified now 🤨
