Donald Trump Sued by Quakers Over ICE Raids

[tdawg@lemmy.world]

The Trump administration is seeking to crack down on illegal immigration. The president made immigration a central theme of his successful campaign for office, and Americans largely support his mass deportation plans.

Could you suck his dick any harder?

The vast, vast majority of violent criminals in the U.S. are citizens.

You might be thinking of Shakers. I used to confuse them too. The Shakers all died out because they all took a vow of celibacy. Morons.

Here’s a link to the actual story on Newsweek.

They’re the same ones the Nazis used against Jews in the 1930s-40s.

And the same ones the Nazis used against trans people and immigrants in the 1930s-40s, too, for that matter.

Like, what they're doing isn't even just 'reminiscent' of Nazis; it's literally identical. There is no wiggle room or superficial difference to seize upon to try to deny it, although I'm sure the fascist apologist concern trolls will still try.

Oh you're completely right! I mixed up the two.

Time to build bookcases in our homes and workplaces to hide parts of the house so our fellow humans have a safe place away from the hands of the fascists.

Here's an example:

Calvinists are one of the biggest sets of Christians. Presbyterians and Reformed Baptists are both Calvinist in nature

Further the release from the org doing the suit, Democratic forward on behalf of several Yearly Meetings and more.

I'm not religious in the slightest, but if there's any one sect of Christianity I find remotely "BASED", it's the Quakers. Instances like this, the fact that they're anti-war as well, that's just cool as hell. They seem to be the only group that practices what they preach. Also, John K Samson from The Weakerthans is a Quaker, so that's a bonus in my book

Being a bit pedantic here, but the president cannot change the law as the article asserts.

[flashmobofone@lemmy.world]

It's interesting being anti-war here in the US. Everyone hates us. Both sides.

[catloaf@lemm.ee]

Nixon was also a Quaker. Generally they're nice people though.

[catloaf@lemm.ee]

Somewhere around 80k in North America. A bunch more in Africa, for some reason.

There are exactly two Quakers left: Brother Arnold Hadd and Sister June Carpenter in Sabbathday Lake, Maine.
