    I really hope there’s an american nuremberg, and i hope they claim they were just following orders, because as with the original nazis, that’s been proven to not be a valid excuse. I hope these cunts go to prison for the rest of their lives.

      You know how many Nazis were hung in the Nuremberg trials? Like 10. Everyone else was basically acquitted. You cannot rely on systems of power to punish transgressors.

        The Nuremberg trials were in my opinion exceedingly light in their judgments overall - too many Germans were guilty to practically execute or jail them all.

        The same degree of lenience in this case would be a travesty.

          These people will be protected and suffer no consequences, because the oligarchy in the US knows it will need more thugs who can operate with impunity. This is why Trump released the Jan 6th rioters. National guard literally murdered and stabbed students in multiple instances in 1970 and nothing happened to them. Most got promoted.

      Sadly most Nazis minus a few higher ups went without punishment. Many scientists even ended up working for the US as part of Operation Paperclip. Like the Civil War, the punishment NEVER fits the crime and these assholes mainly get off scot-free with no repercussions. Which always leads to a resurgence at some point.

        It’s actually surprising how they happen to have two million prisoners. Clearly, some people are going to jail.

        In other news the justice department commissioned an AI to automate sentencing of convicted felons but had second thoughts when it transpired the robot had become racist after being trained on the judicial records. True story.

    This is getting weirder. Did they realize they were being shitty on camera?:

    “I’m a U.S. citizen, please help me,” she shouted after agents forced her to the ground. “This is unfair. Why are you doing this to me?”

    Agents then placed her in a patrol vehicle. She was released a short time later.

    “She refused to cooperate and identify herself with all levels of law enforcement there,” said agency spokesman Alan Regalado, noting Monroe County Sheriff’s Office deputies were there. A Herald reporter saw deputies moving drivers along who were slowing down to watch the stop.

    After agents removed the woman from her car, they found her driver’s license in the vehicle, ran it through their system and confirmed she is a U.S. citizen, Regalado said.

            Ya, speaking as an American, America really jumped the boat with Iraq and Afghanistan and the idea of American Exceptionalism. Like I get it, America is the best, but the minute you start seeing results that are not agreeable, change the method. No, these chuckle ducks said we are America and rammed thorugh terrible idea after terrible idea. 'Cause we the best. It’s this mindset that has everybody denying, America was already close to the bottom. Now it seems we trying to be the best at being the bottom. And seeing if that floor can go lower.

    Uhg. FTA:

    “She is visible white and 👱 blond, a medical worker, speaks with no accent. This should be a warning sign for MAGAt as they could be preyed by ICE at any time!”

    None of that is a reason to believe she’s not an undocumented immigrant. And being brown, curly-haired, not-a-medical-worker is not any reason to believe they’re an undocumented immigrant.

    Is this objectionable behavior by ICE? absolutely. But not because of who the victim is. but because there IS a victim. everyone in this country is protected by the constitution, and afforded the rights of due process- which ICE is flagrantly violating the shit out of.

    Can we please stop with the special classes of people like this?

      Yes, yes, yes! But also, it’s particularly notable that she’s white and blond with no accent because they claim to their supporters to be protecting those specific people from “illegals.” Pointing out that they’re not only doing something awful but also defying their own stated principles is always a good thing to do.

      You’re completely right. All this does is fuel more racism and elitism. Unfortunately it is the reality we currently live in. Many people who are MAGA absolutely believe blonde hair blue eyed white people are true Americans and are safe. Pointing out these facts tells them that they’re next and that all of this is wrong. Some people won’t realize their mistakes until it happens to them personally. A white woman with blonde hair hits home for many of them and could be a wakeup call.

      Again I want to say that I DO NOT agree with bringing up this information. I do not believe it should be relevant at all. It is just unfortunate that this is the reality we are living in and I believe we do need to be the change we want to see by not bringing this information up ourselves.

        No, they are appealing to MAGA folks that are picturing getting rid of all the dark skinned people they don’t like.

        The people that consider that nuance have already been against the ICE crap, you don’t have to convince those. The only people that can be convinced are those that you need to get their racism aside before they’ll join you. It’s distasteful, but it’s a way to grow the voices condemning this behavior.

      It is important because of the reason they cite.

            Yeah and as much as we all hate having to interact with these absolute chuds, the most successful ways of deprogramming people have been through empathetic outreach.

            If these MAGA chuds experience the boot of fascism first hand, that might open them up to listening to people from other groups that have had to deal with this kind of treatment for much longer.

            It’s a slow process, a metric fuck ton of emotional labour, and not everyone is willing to do that work, which is understandable given that you’ll be competing against the whole outrage media and “attention economy”.

            But if enough of us are willing then through genuine human connection, which everyone but a very minute actual clinically psychopathic portion of the population is so desperate for, can get these chuds to open their eyes and grow a little more empathetic.

          This complaint is missing the forest for trees.

          Special classes of people have existed for as long as civilization has exited. Leaders and followers, kings and peasants, the wealthy and the poor, etc. As animals, it’s in the nature of some of us to desire a greater share of resources and luxury at the cost of depriving others from having the same.

          An article repeating the notion of people with specific skin tones are part of a privileged class isn’t the problem, it’s just a symptom of the problem. The problem is the bigots who put that into practice, singling out and causing problems for people with specific tones while providing benefits to those with other specific tones. Getting rid of public acknowledgement about class disparity isn’t going to get rid of class disparity, it’s just going to get rid of discussion about class disparity. The racists will still be there, being racist.

      It makes a point of slapping people who truly believe, even now, that all the ICE activity thus far has been against illegals.

      Illegal only. For real. They believe that.

      A maga relative in landscaping was mystified as to why half his employees had either left or were leaving and weren’t coming back for the next season. In his words: they’re believing all the lies and hype being spewed by the media.

      In his mind, even now, ICE is only doing their job: removing people here illegally. Because media can’t be believed and is filled not with lies but terrible twisting of the truth.

      So putting a face on this, that looks like MAGA, is about all that’s left to try to get their attention.

          The way that you comment makes it look like “wondering” who she voted for and being a white lady equates to her being Trump supporter.

          Is she, in fact, a Trump voter and supporter?

            First it’s Florida and second “this is unfair”, why would she word it like that? Like is it fair for everybody else to be dragged to who knows where?

            Me wondering if she voted for this is bad? “I’m curious if she voted for this? Hhhhmmm?” Is that better?

            I didn’t imply she did but I wonder am curious if she did since you know… Florida.

              Do you believe everyone in Florida is a conservative Trump voter?

              Like is it fair for everybody else to be dragged to who knows where?

              Is it fair for her?

              The fact that you so prominently brought up the notion that she may have voted for the actions brought upon her implies that you believe she did and this is leopards eating faces. Even if unintentional, that’s how it reads in the first place. Your response is doubling down on that and digs you a deeper hole. It sounds an awful lot like baseless victim blaming.

        No I’m just saying that this is what hateful racist voted for and now we got this happening. Black folks and white folks thought they were safe, but here we are repeating the same tactics as other fascist and dictators. Keep them scared and in line and make an example for everybody to see.

        Plus didn’t he just declare nurses as a none professions?

      Police don’t have the right to pull people over, ask them to exit their vehicle, cuff them, or put them in the back of a vehicle (detain them) without a reason. Stopping someone without reason is harassment, the rest is assault/battery (depending on location)/kidnapping without providing the reason. If they give you a reason they can detain you, but if that reason does not follow the laws or is determined to be unreasonable by a judge the body making the arrest is supposed to be held responsible and penalized, possibly making them open to a lawsuit. Aka she should sue them, and taxpayers should be pissed we are having to pay for this

        You must not live in the US or you are very sheltered if so. That is not at all how things go down here. Police and ice do this sort of thing all the time. With no consequence. Screaming doesn’t usually stop the harassment.

          Yes, they do break the law all the time.

          But they are not supposed to do that. You must not know your rights as a US Citizen.

          Also they ran her ID and determined that wow by gum she is a us citizen and then let her go.

            Rights are only as good as the justice system. The US has been ignoring the rights of citizens and committing human rights atrocities. Not every US citizen confronted by the police is as lucky as her. If you think that your boot licking is going to protect you it’s a foolish delusion.

    Had to check the date on the article because this is not the first woman in scrubs on her way to work being yanked out of a car while telling ICE that she is a citizen.

    We live in a dystopian hell and for some reason we keep acting like it’s all fine.

            It really isn’t, fascists love using “science” and “rationality” to “prove” their ideologies. You can argue that they’re not doing real science, but their followers will believe it.

            The cure to fascism is anarchism. That is the only effective way to prevent it.

      It’s been allowed under the laws for a long time, it’s just like everything else been a polite agreement not to do things like that. The constitution isn’t really suited for actors in bad faith in all parts of the government.

    She is visible white and 👱 blond, a medical worker, speaks with no accent.

    She was eventually let go.

    The first one is why the second one happened.

    Side note, why is she bringing her scrubs outside the hospital? Don’t you return them after your shift in America, to be washed and such?

      Do you mean why did ICE abduct her from work inside the hospital and drag her outside kicking & screaming without giving her a chance to change her clothes?

        No.

        But if that’s what happened, I have the answer to my question.

        I’m also wondering why ICE abducted her period, not really specifically from where. 👍 But like I said, this was a side note.

          Sign this paper saying you won’t talk about this and we’ll let you go.

          According to the secret stuff law, if you talk about this we’ll arrest you again.

          Pick one.

                I’m a massage therapist 😄

                The preceding conversation taught me that scrub-wearing people who work in hospitals don’t wear their scrubs outside the facility & don’t have to wash them themselves, they leave their scrubs at work and there’s a separate crew responsible for scrubs laundry.

                My life is not like that.

                The worst filth my scrubs ever encounter are my own body sweat & occasional massage lotion mishaps.

      sometimes; my mum doesn’t do that often, preferring to wash them at home. in her words, when asked why, she said: “the detergent the hospital uses smells like used clorox wipes left out in the sun and then freezed for 1 day”. how she knows what that smells like is beyond me…

      These are likely not the drab, standard, facility-provided surgical or operating scrubs that even the I.T. staff has to change in to (or don over top) before crossing the red line into a clean zone, ‘red’ room or room with isolation precautions. These are the other personally-supplied garments staff wear to look professional in a medical setting. These are the same ones that are sometimes replaced with T-shirts and such on casual friday or department-coordinated Hallowe’en costumes on October 31.
