The state’s only licensed Hindi, Punjabi, and Urdu legal interpreter is now languishing in a Raymondville detention center. She’s lived in America for 35 years.
They’re also denying her medical attention.
The ONLY licensed Hindi, Punjabi, and Urdu…
That is insane to me. I’m so happy I left, but my heart aches for those still there.
It’s a feature, not a bug.
Gutting non-English speaker access to the courts is intended functionality
As someone who also left, there is a real sense of survivors guilt watching those we love struggle back home :( I’m doing what I can to help from a distance but it’s rough
Don’t feel bad, we all have to make tough decisions on what’s best for us and our families.
I donate to a few orgs I found in TX from here https://www.mutualaidhub.org/
I also interop with some groups around TX to help with organization and comms.
para nosotros nada para todos todo
There’s no shame in those who have the means noping out of this shithole.
The cruelty is the point as ever.
Even moreso this time:
Batra, who has spent nearly half her life working in immigration courts, stopped working for the government’s side in immigration proceedings—instead helping only the immigrants seeking status—after seeing the conditions in detention facilities and how detained people were treated.
The point is removing opposition.
Fucking Nazi scum. Toss ‘em all in an oubliette and let them dehydrate and starve to death. Their screams would be music yo my ears.
Honestly I would rather have them mopping floors at like a old folks home with lots of non whites with massive supervision to make sure they do their job. Working a “lowly” job for non whites and actually having to do productive, useful work. Talk about hell for these guys.
No. I want them forgotten about and suffering. All the power they have, reduced to literally nothing where not even their pained tears will warrant so much as a thought should they reach any ears.
No power to affect their lives in any way, shape, or form. Nor to affect anyone else’s lives. Not anymore. All their wealth, distributed according to those that need it most. Their ability to change their surroundings reduced to simply adding more of their own blood, shit, tears, and snot to the floor. Their ability to manipulate removed, as nobody will be anywhere near to hear them.
All that they lust for, gone. And they’d live with that for a few days before they dehydrate, unable to drink anything resembling water. Their bodies slowly wasting away as they digest themselves. All that they wrought visited upon them as simply being forgotten, and with their ability to affect their own and others lives removed.
I just want them gone. I don’t want any punitive justice, I don’t want revenge, I just want them stripped of any ability to continue to hurt others. If that means killing em, fine. As long as they’re gone.
That’s worked so well every other time we’ve removed criminals from power and just decided to move on and put the past behind us. When there are no consequences for corrupt use of power, you might as well take your shot and take what you can. The worst it ends is you just going back into private society and living the same life you would be otherwise. And then the next generation of fascists, warmongers, and corrupt officials see it and plan their path.
Stripping them of any ability to cause harm… hasn’t worked?!
The fuck are you talking about?!? It’s the one thing nobody has ever focused on.
Not punishing them hasn’t worked. Two Democratic administrations have decided that the people unjustly wielding government for self-enrichment, bigotry, and war no longer being in power had solved the problem and we shouldn’t get distracted with the past. And now we’re once again in a war in the Middle East for political purposes and seeing corruption and bigotry flourish. With some of the exact same characters and a whole new cast freshly emboldened because they think nothing they do holds any risk. And they’re using the powers built up during those prior sprees that were never dismantled to enact their goals.
Punitive justice has been proven ineffective, over and over again. It’s irrelevant.
Actual definitive action to prevent ability to cause further harm has worked.
I don’t care how anybody feels about the solution, but it doesn’t have a damn thing to do with punching back.
But, no, of course the only way to fight fire is with fire…
Their plan involves them being forgotten and suffering.
Daily reminder to prepare for war. Not necessarily as a soldier. Have supplies, a bug-out bag, a community, and an escape route. This can only end in violence, and there is a good chance that violence will affect you, where-ever you are.
What if the war is global?
Make sure you don’t live on the globe.
Inhumane cowards
