HOW MUCH YOU WANNA BET the vast majority of these new recruits in South Carolina are Black and Puerto Rican? https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/national-security/ice-agents-will-stationed-marine-corps-graduation-events-south-carolin-rcna265941

these #MAGA #MAHA fuckwads already egged Trump into sending #ICE into military bases to kidnap the families of active personnel; and they are using Army brats to get rid of birthright citizenship.

Marines are the literal vanguard of #USMIL invasions yet, incredibly, the racist cultists need to terrorize them in the middle of an illegal war with #Iran

BTW

i shouldn’t have to say i give a fiddler’s fart about the backlash. if this is what it takes for #USMIL personnel to get radicalized and refuse orders, then so be it.

but it is important to note how, THE CRUELTY IS THE POINT OF #FASCISM, is not a cliché; but an accurate description of their worldview and raison d’être.

sociopaths, narcissists, machiavellians, and sadists run #MAGA. they aren’t dangerous because they're smart. THEY AREN'T SMART. they’re monomaniacal and deluded.

@blogdiva If MAGA and ICE want to pick a fight with the Marines, I'm happy to watch them get stomped.
@blogdiva ICE absolutely does not win against the Marines. This is an intensely stupid fight to pick, if that's what's going on.

@moira @blogdiva

Wait... ICE vs USMC?
Let them fight!
This is one blood bath I can get behind.

@moira @blogdiva Truly. It's cruel, brazen, *and* very ill-advised besides. Never let it be said that ICE is in any way competent.

@blogdiva twenty years ago, a friend was in army basic and — I think it was actually an ICE agent — came onto the base to arrest a guy just back from the sandbox.

Friend disarmed the agent and had him at gunpoint. Explained that he’s from LA and some of his best friends were Mexicans.

The actual soldier on watch said if he moved, shoot him. Base got put on lockdown.

I think some phone calls were made and it resolved without bloodshed or the soldier being taken by ICE.

@blogdiva I never saw anything about it on record but he told me when he got home and he confirmed it sometime last year
@blogdiva people just casually carrying their birth certificate in a “democracy” is fucked.
@blogdiva This is stunningly cruel, but also, if you blind yourself to that for a moment, the normies will only wake up if the fascists move too quickly. One of the big uncertainties of this administration has been which way the armed forces would break it it comes down to it. That, ultimately, will decide whether or not we can wrest democracy back from darkness. For ICE to provoke Marines like this is the sort of blunder that, although awful, we should pray for more of.
