    This is already illegal.

    Racial profiling is considered illegal in the United States as it violates the 14th Amendment’s equal protection clause, which guarantees all individuals protection from discrimination based on race or ethnicity.

    Also, if there is no suspicion of a crime, it is illegal to detain someone. Otherwise that’s kidnapping.

    These issues have been litigated many times.

          Reality really is stranger than fiction sometimes.

          Society tends to repeat on approximately 80-100 year cycles. Just long enough for the generations affected by bullshit to lose their voices and die.

            Society tends to repeat on approximately 80-100 year cycles.

            American society. And it’s been closely shown to hold since when America attacked Canada, of all places.

            Other countries have their own cycles. Consider the 11-year Canada goose purge cycle that affects your friends to the north. It’s not spoken of but, like seal clubbing, a periodic culling is required to prevent them invading and burning the Library of Parliament and goosey sanchez-ing the last copy of the Declaration upon Dependence. It’s a little backward up there.

          Spy magazine ran a great cartoon back in the early '90s which I can’t find anywhere online. It was captioned “Clarence Thomas greets the day” and it showed him bending down on his front porch to pick up the newspaper with a negro stable boy lawn statue next to him.

      we’vr had sleeper cells of nazis and bootlickers on “both” sides of the aisles for a century or so because they’re all actually aged capitalists. When capitalists feel like their quality of life and profit is threatened, by labor or technology, they will work toward two things:

      Moving the overton window in small steps as they test the waters and then implementing actual fascism in the waters where their tests succeeded.

      Notice the areas with martial law are not really big on public ownership of guns or understanding of castle doctrine? That’s on purpose.

      We never had a true democracy and that fact is coming around to bite us and everyone else in the ass again. We don’t have Christian denominations anymore, we have sports teams. We don’t have politics, we wage culture war. God damn bless america… I fucking hate it here

    We know how this is going to go with the court’s record lately. It is just Trump’s lapdogs jumping when he tells them too.

    Dear Supreme Court: you don’t need to. They can’t.

    Dear Congress: impeach Trump. If someone blocks you, impeach them.

    Dear MAGA idiots: shut up and grow up.

      Yeah, feels a bit too late for that. This isn’t going to stop until the non-fascist Americans drag them out into the streets and dispense justice. People are going to die and the good guys are going to need to organise a whole lot first.

    We’ve been here before. Looking Jewish, sounding Jewish, being where Jews might live or be, doing jobs that Jews might do.
