As we return from all the #NoKings marches, rallies, demos, let's remember one thing:
The goal of this government is not to find undocumented people; the goal is to *make* them.
When that is on the board (and recent Kansas, Tennessee, and other state-level legislation make it clear that it's on the board), peaceful marches aren't going to cut it.
Finding undocumented people is proving expensive, resource-heavy, and vastly unpopular.
Solution? TRANSFORM *documented undesirables* into undocumented people:
✅ transgender US citizens (see: KS SB 244)
✅ women US citizens (See: SAVE Act)
✅ BIPOC US citizens (ibid.)
✅ Black & brown people here with legal documentation (See: cancellation of student visas, work visas, Green cards)
Before, the presumption was: You're born here, you're a citizen. Get a green card, you're a legal resident.
Now the presumption is 'You're NOT a citizen until you can prove it.'
ICE at airports will not stop at polling places, y'all.
Again, the endgame is NOT the midterms. The endgame is what comes after.
@DeliaChristina the endgame is either:
Overthrow the racist, misogynistic billionaires that own everything, and make a new order where the means of production are socially owned and things are ran for the benefit of both people and the natural environment
Or
Perish under the boot of fascism while the earth crumbles.
