    I wonder how mass deportations would actually work. To me it sounds like seeking out undocumented or potentially undocumented people and detaining them until they are deported or can prove a legal status. It sounds like rounding people up based on some sort of identifying factor. How many people will get detained who shouldn’t be?

      The issue is that once the government has the infrastructure and networks to round folks up en masse, they can round groups of folk up en masse. That net will never be precise, so plenty of folks will get pulled in who shouldn’t. That net can also be directed where-ever the powers that be decide, which is a real threat to liberty and justice for all.

      And that’s before we get to the part the ethics and issues behind our immigration policy in the US.

        Yeah, but we’ll have the infrastructure for the next mass drag net of society. Sure, everyone expects that to be trans people… but those redneck morons don’t realize we have to take all the guns next. All the guns. The infrastructure will be in place.

                1. support net neutrality and privacy policies/laws. don’t fall for the terrorist and children abuse tropes
                2. follow proper OpSec and protect your privacy online and off. this is complex and requires some changes in life style.
                3. switch jobs to get pay raises, this one is not obvi but if you aint got cash, you aint fighting… take care of yourself first, then start thinking bigger picture, family, friends, community, society. you need to be able to educate people around you and for family you have to pay extra costs that come with above choices. it is not cost prohibitive, but does require planning etc

                But really we are fucked, my bet is that past the point of no return, time do this was around 2001 and nobody did it, fucking boomers (at least most of them did not do shit).

                Just because the fight is futile, does not mean we have to give up any more dignity.
