Bodhipaksa@theicarian The Statue of Liberty is herself an immigrant.
Ray Gulick, he/him/wtf 🇺🇦 ❌👑I think it's a matter of time before the statue of liberty is deported and replaced on the pedestal with a Doberman Pinscher with a spiked collar mauling a guy in a turban.

Peter Brown@theicarian and one of them was Trump‘s own mother.
And both his wives.
Not to mention various “girlfriends”

Sneezy 💚 🖤How long until Trump orders it taken down?

Aaron@xs4me2 @theicarian The hillbillies... who forget so easily that they are themselves descended from recent immigrants.
Resentment, populism, xenophobia, and ill educated. Keep them dumb, so manipulation is much easier...
Grassroots Joe@xs4me2 @hosford42 @theicarian
Dog-whistle politics coupled with anti-intellectualism isn't anything new, but what is relatively new and much too unknown are effective tools and techniques to combat it.
Several well situated and particularly knowledgeable people in key fields came together to create a knowledge base upon which they built the race-class-gender narrative framework.
This messaging framework, when used frequently enough by enough people, can make a huge difference.

framework and messaging content addressing multiple aspects of our current dilemma is available for everyone to use in the Freedom Over Fascism toolkit at https://docs.google.com/document/d/1s0JbXhND7-1iqABNcUNL031NQLxkLfr-USkCKGZTidI/edit?tab=t.0
I've also put together a draft Introduction to the Race-class-gender Narrative document with links to background and other material to help people learn about the race-class-gender narrative framework and be able to start using it on a regular basis.

It is great to see people taking action, as that is the only thing that will help to remove this toxic would be dictator and his yes men…
They need to be held accountable.
Ian Moffatt@hosford42 @xs4me2 @theicarian That's the bit that gets me - go back to the 1500's and they didn't even exist. We have pubs and houses that are older than that in the UK. Their whole country is made up of immigrants that forced the 'locals' out.
@ianm549 @xs4me2 @theicarian There is no consciousness of that fact here in the US south. I don't think they like to think about such things. Confirmation bias + narcissism.
Pusher of Pixels@hosford42 @ianm549 @xs4me2 @theicarian brew up in NY moved to SC for my first job. The culture shock was something else.
Elisabeth M@hosford42 Where in the south are you? I lived ten years outside Dallas, TX
@independentpen About an hour north of there, near the Oklahoma border.
tessarakt@ianm549 @hosford42 @xs4me2 @theicarian Start denaturalization proceedings now!
Did Frederick Trump report in his naturalization proceedings that he illegally and probably criminally evaded military service in Bavaria?
RyanWTF@ianm549 @hosford42 @xs4me2 @theicarian Yes but they’re the “right kind” of immigrants, not like those illegals. /s
G.I. Robot 
Believe me, those folks would rather the Statue of Liberty be torn down and dismantled.

zvhxxl@theicarian Change for the statue of liberty, to please Iran: Only hijab allowed.
This wil also deter Catholic immigants from Mexico.

David BruchmannFrom far it looks like Darth Vader, but doesn't matter, he's fully covered too.
Ironically the fascist Nazis cover their faces too when commiting their violant and racist crimes.
Phil Williams@theicarian ILLEGAL immigrants. I love immigrants. I love it more when they follow the law. Some of the best of America came from our immigrant population.
Illegal immigrants != immigrants. Lawbreakers vs welcomed melting pot ingredients. It is that simple. If they come illegally, they cause us to put more resources into catching them (as criminals) and removing them. They burden our law enforcement.
Jut do it legally. And focus on gettin the legislation fixed. Not supporting law breakers.
The people with the most criminal and morally despictable ideas build up the GOP., the party of organized crime.
@DavidBruchmann @theicarian I strongly disagree. We have criminals and immoral representation in all areas of our government. Party matters little. My world view is that people are at their core, broken.
It is not cruel and immoral to impose rules in the immigration process. It is also not criminal or immoral to apply legal repercussions, to include deportation when laws are broken.
When families are broken apart, maybe put the blame on the people who broke the law and did that to their kids
Well you got a point.
But show me anyone from the GOP without using his job as poiltician for personal interest, apart from Liz Cheney and David Kinzinger.
@DavidBruchmann @theicarian Show me people from the Democratic party who are not there for personal interest? They are raking in millions from government contracts. The whole system is rigged, and ALL of them are benefiting. It is the American people that are losing.
@DavidBruchmann @theicarian I don't want to see people getting shipped out or families broken. I cant imagine how that would destroy my life. But, they made the decisions that put them in this predicament, not me.
That is like blaming me for wanting a criminal to serve his due sentence in prison for breaking the law. I am not the one who took the law into my own hands and made a decision with known consequences.
If we would actually apply the law instead of allowing this stuff for years...
Agree!!!
So anything is wrong about my words?
@DavidBruchmann @theicarian Only that you are pointing fingers at one political party when there are just as many criminals and immoral people on the other side.
You're certainly not wrong.
My point is that in the GOP it's so intensive that the whole party could be trialed for organized crime, like or as a mafia.
Bill Zaumen@theicarian I really can't figure out why on earth some people are complaining about immigrants. Dinner tonight was in a group of 8 people, one who was born in Hong Kong, another from Taiwan, another from Cypress, and another from Turkey. Everyone had a good time.
Mitri Dat 🦉@theicarian and what's more, this statue is French...
DP0@theicarian Replace it with the Statue of Unliberty (as proposed by the German online satire magazine "Postillon"):
Martin Vermeer FCD@DP0 @theicarian The chains are already there, for those who pay attention
Catweazle@theicarian, they have not understood that the statue of Liberty is on their backs to the US.
Why Not Zoidberg? 🦑@theicarian But you see those immigrants were the hood white kind.
Well except for the Irish, the Polish and the Italians of course.
But the Swedish and German ones were great!
@WhyNotZoidberg @theicarian Well, actually in the 19th century the sentiment wasn't that much pro-German either ... particularly in the mid-west.
There has always been a certain anti-immigrant sentiment in the U.S., it just shifted from undesirable white immigrants towards the more tanned people ...

dasparadoxon@theicarian oh no, trumpisten certainly will try to tear down the statue soon.
