"Today Trump confirmed that he intends to bypass normal legal constraints on his actions by declaring a national emergency on his first day in office in order to launch his mass deportation of undocumented migrants."

@wdlindsy We shouldn't fixate so hard on the mass deportations that we forget all the other things he'll do with his "emergency" powers.
@wdlindsy@toad.social@gooba42 Oh, I think fixating on the mass deportations is a very good thing to do. The cruelty that is being ushered in with the plan to start those the very first day he takes office, with the military at his disposal: what an opening script for dehumanization, violence, cruelty that will affect every one of us.
@wdlindsy I think the psychological distance between "immigrants" and "regular people" gives the wrong people comfort.
It adds the layer of "but I wasn't an immigrant so I didn't speak up".
@gooba42 But I think this is exactly why we need to keep our eyes firmly on what's going to happen to immigrants as soon as Trump takes office: It never stops with the targeted group.
