The image is a still from a video taken by Hunter Demster who was told he would have to move 25 feet away or face misdemeanor charges due to a TN law that went into effect in July.
The Tennessee law is similar to those passed in Indiana and Louisiana, which two federal courts have ruled unconstitutional due to the laws’ vague nature in allowing police broad discretion to create buffer zones.
National Guard members were seen patrolling a popular commercial area after arriving in Memphis on Friday and there have been reports of an increase in immigration raids and stop-and-frisk policing.
On Monday October 13, 2025, the DOJ released the following numbers and reasons for arrests of over 800 individuals (including 17 juveniles) in Memphis:
• Warrant pickups - 297
• Administrative (Immigration) - 161
•Firearms Arrests - 94
•Narcotics - 79
•Homicide - 6
•Probation/Parole - 2
•Sex Offenses - 34
•130 unexplained “other” charges
62 “known gang members” were also reportedly identified in the operation.
What’s the term for a state-sanctioned terrorist?
Ice I guess
Muricans: wE aRe NOt tHERe yeT
Please keep an eye on us. We have a lot of history with THP, the national guard and race relations.
There is full political buy in. What happens here will probably be a blueprint.
I fucking hate where this country is right now.
You hate where the country is bc you know it’s supposed to be better. The people that brought us to this point hate this country for allowing people like you to dream of a better life, and they always have.
After the deportations are done, when the economic crash is looking much worse, he’ll need enemies of the people to turn on - and who knows how brutal things might get then.
The aim may well be enough to delay elections indefinitely, which would require a lot of blood. It may not stop.
The first year of many.
We have never suspended elections in this country, not even during the Civil War. That is a BRIGHT RED LINE.
If he suspends elections for ANY reason, it’s on. That is officially the end of our Democracy, and the end of America. Without elections, we have no government at worst, and a different government at best, but either way, Democratic America is dead, and I am then a citizen of a non-existent nation.
If I’m not a citizen, I’m not paying taxes, following any laws, or recognizing ANY authority.
But would you ever storm the Capitol Building to interrupt or invalidate an election verification? Suspend the results …and if they had better luck that day your statement would look silly today…
…and they almost did. But sure, perhaps YOU wouldn’t do these things in YOUR country.
Why is no government the worst outcome? Why are you against self governance?
Well, you see, most of us happen to like modern niceties like…
Running potable water, electricity, garbage disposal, the internet, easy access to food, etc.
After the deportations are done
Is it reasonable to assume that they will be “finished” at some point? AFAIK the nazis were still deporting people right up until 1945.
That assumption is based on the deportations being the objective. They aren’t. They are just the beginning of their agenda.
Guantanamo Bay currently can hold about 200 people. They are currently building a facility there that holds 30,000 people. For context, the average maximum security prison holds 800-1200 people. The largest, in Angola, LA, holds about 5000.
So they are building a facility to incarcerate about 6 times what our largest facility holds, which is already several times larger than average. Even following 9/11, when we thought there were terrorists hiding around every corner, we didn’t feel it was necessary to build such a huge prison. The Gitmo facility will be far from the prying eyes of family, lawyers, courts, and especially the Media. If the court demands someone be released, and they choose to defy the court, who is going to go there and break that person out?
They obviously feel like they are going to have to imprison a LOT of people at some point, and NONE of them are talking about it at all. Neither is the media. In fact, I’ll bet 99% of America have no idea that such a facility is being built.
Who do they plan on sending there, and for what reasons? The media needs to start talking about this.
Edit:
Any sources on that? Not trying to be a dick, but that’s a pretty big one to drop without some sourcing.
Here’s the executive order:
Expanding Migrant Operations Center at Naval Station Guantanamo Bay to Full Capacity
Here’s a solid article about it:
A bunch of construction contracts have been awarded, and construction is under way. Interestingly, it is due to be completed in 2029, AFTER Trump will be out of office, and not able to play with his shiny new toy.
If you want to know more, you know how to spell Google.
If you want to know more, you know how to spell Google.Maybe I should have tried to be a dick? Who wants to fact check everything they read about on the internet? Sometimes it’s nice to see a source along with a big claim. Maybe it’s just me.
Thanks for the source, but you can keep the rest.
I wasn’t being a dick either. You asked for a source, I gave you a couple of good ones to prove I want just making it up, but I’m not here to do ALL your homework for you.
I’ve seen how MAGAs will waste your time chasing sources they won’t accept, so I tend to do the minimum, and let those with good faith use the key words (Guantanamo Bay New Prison+) to find out more.
It’s not like it’s hard, like you have to drive to the library like the old days. The source for any question you have is literally in your hand, on the same device you are asking the question to. Type in those keywords, and you’ll have all the answers you want.
The good news is by looking it up yourself, and not relying solely on the sources that some schlub from the Internet offered up, you might find some other information that the schlub didn’t want you to know. That’s how you use Critical Thinking Skills - don’t rely on what you are told, go find the original sources, and be your own news media, and draw your own conclusions outside of the Conservative Propaganda Machine, or whatever the idiotic Dems are doing.
I’m not being a dick, man, I’m just trying to teach you to be a better citizen. Questioning a statement is good, refusing to do the work to verify or refute the statement, is lazy citizenship.
This seems to be the 30,000 number, but it looks like it’s mostly a nebulous increase in most other places.
It’s all over the Wikipedia and stuff.
I’m pretty sure well round up the homeless next, but nobody outside really has any idea what’s going on.
Though, I guess political prisoners might make sense too. We already use it for stuff that is not completely in alignment with our values.
Hell, Trump’s homies may get paid even if nobody ever goes there.
Well that’s disappointing.
It would be on brand to send homeless people there instead of just providing support locally. Why not be as cruel as possible while shoveling Public funds to private entities. I’m wondering how many more of us become homeless as we seemingly do the worst possible things for our population.
What’s the 30k prison project?
See my edit.
Well you don’t really ‘deport’ groups like trans people, gays, handicapped, non Christians, or liberals. Thats why they’re normalizing concentration camps.
Oh silly, this isn’t 1945!
Nothing like that.
Our brutality is far cleaner.
It’s an informational autocracy!
No, it’s not 1945, it’s 1933.
People who make that mistake probably really need a reminder that todays fascist USA is not exactly like it was in Germany back then.
Snark aside, the video seems to make an important point, and I will watch all of it. The 1st minute reminds me of Hypernormalisation.
And please go to a sub called THE POLICE PROBLEM and watch some of the recent clips of masked goons abducting people in droves. There’s nothing clean about it.
OK, I watched the video now. She makes an important point but I think it would be wrong to paint it as an either/or situation: many forms of autocracy have always been present, though the weighting has certainly shifted.
Catholics, Italians, European Spanish, and eastern Europeans are up next after the brown people are gone
Probably Jehovah’s Witnesses, Seventh Day Adventists, and Mormons too.
Morman’s have too much money, they’ll be fine. Plus, they’re white.
No that makes them more of a target
After the deportations are done, when the economic crash is looking much worse, he’ll need enemies of the people to turn on - and who knows how brutal things
mightwill get then.
It’s been here a while. Though I had more hope for the future previously.
All I see is a Nazi
Oh, you’re looking at the forest.
I’m really hoping at some point a patriot leaks the payroll list with all their names.
These traitorous fascists do not deserve to live freely in our society. And something like that happening would significantly reduce the number of people willing to work for this traitorous administration.
They would just call that person a traitor and a terrorist and the courts would punish them accordingly.
I mean, yes, that’s true, but look at other famous whistleblowers. Edward snowden still lives in exile in russia over a decade later. How long did assange have to take shelter in an embassy? They felt strongly enough to take their actions, knowing that they might be targeted by one of the most powerful and ruthless governments on the planet.
Maybe there will be someone who is willing to be dragged through the mud and made an example of by our legal system.
Imagine being Asian American and working for ICE… Guess he’s hoping if he arrests enough people, he’ll be put on the good list
Someone needs to get that douchecanoe a copy of “They Called Us Enemy”. It has pictures and everything.
he’ll be put on the good list
The we owe this guy a huge bonus, so let put him somewhere he can’t cash the check lists.
I’m expecting to hear a lot of these guys getting stiffed.
reminds me of samuel l jackson’s character in django unchained
mind control is a very real, very powerful, and very dangerous thing.
look up “kamikaze”
He’d rather join them than fight them
Honestly hard to tell someone’s race from a tiny bit of exposed skin from a blurry photo. Color accuracy isn’t event that great.
lol seriously? are you going to sit there and try to say he “might not be asian”? would you be saying the same thing about a black man with a “tiny bit of exposed skin”?
i think the thing you wanted to say but didn’t, is “why talk about race”
race is relevant here because they’re literally committing racist violence, and i’ve never met an asian who spent much time in this country without experiencing some kind of racism/discrimination/bullying. and when you’re a minority, you learn to recognize “the look” people give you when they automatically hate you because you’re not 100% white. i know because i’m also asian. but now this guy’s joined the racist nazi gestapo team.
hence the comment “imagine being one of the people your band of masked terrorists is targeting”
You can see his eyes.
edit: you should really watch the clip to draw your own conclusions https://youtu.be/6zkL91LzCMc
I can’t wait for him to be dragged away by the people he works for. Non white not right as they say.
That’s the thing about “hierarchies” that rely on manipulating and dividing the masses to carry out social darwinism for them. Anyone and everyone is welcome to join, as long as they can be exploited. Once you’ve served your purpose, you find out real quick your new purpose is simply to replace the scapegoat you helped eliminate.
It doesn’t matter if you’re JD Vance, Bari Weiss, or some random schmo that joined ICE bc they just needed the money and didn’t mind hurting other people. You do not belong at the top of their hierarchy. You don’t “earn” a spot. You’re either born into it, or you’re not. In case it wasn’t already obvious, claims of meritocracy are part of the projection and manipulation thing.
It’s amazing that people are dumb enough to believe that the same families of generational wealth, who have recycled and relied on this same strategy over and over again, have simply made a special exception and welcomed them into the club. As long as they don’t step out of line, and as long as they always do as they’re told, they’ll be safe, regardless of what history tells them.
They’re so busy enjoying the little taste of power and belonging that they’ve been rewarded with for enabling the “lions,” they won’t even realize they’re being fattened up to make a more convincing public sacrifice until it’s too late.
“The leopards won’t eat my face, bc they’ve made me an honorary leopard.” 🐆
It doesn’t matter if you’re JD Vance
Remember Mike Pence? Even if you meet the exact blue print of the movement you still get fucked over by fascists.
BUT THEY SAID I WAS ONE OF THE GOOD ONES!!!
Nah, his loyalty will be rewarded with a cushy job as a concentration camp guard, where he can abuse, rape, and murder inmates to his heart’s content.
Historically no, most are treated as though they can’t be trusted and are often killed en masse because fuckin duh. A select few will get treated well but never completely trusted because again duh.
Bout as big a gap in that armor as a deer heart.
This is the equivalent of broadside with leg forward. The holy Grail.
Whole tit’s worth
The piece of shit is FAT AS FUCK… EATING YOUR TAX DOLLARS
I’m also fat. That’s not any sort of argument. These people have far worse qualities, no need to resort to fatshaming.
Pretty sure they were referencing Pete Hegseth’s rant about fat military brass right before fat AF tRump took the stage to make a rally speech to that same group.
Oh look. It’s a walking beer belly that is for some ironic reason wearing an Under Armor Hat like a choad. What a fucking surprise. At this point it seems like it’s right up there with Ed Hardy and Tap Out.
I thought they were firing all a fatties?
That’s just the military…
Sorry, I was confused by the small armory strapped to his beer belly.
I know right! I was just clocking it all - I see gun, extra mag, knife and is that a small (neck-knife sized) cleaver in front?! Those tiny terrified kids must really put up a fight while being dragged out of their beds.
Start at the top.
Being that it requires zero credentials to get hired by these goons maybe a bunch of us should apply and dismantle from within
That’s a viable strategy. Get hired, fit in, then be virtuosically incompetent.
I remember reading about a Democratic activist during one of the presidential campaigns, who got a job working in some random local Republican office somewhere. He was doing lots of light sabotage, when he caught the flu. He wanted to stay home, but he dragged himself to the office when nobody was around, and smeared his disease-ridden saliva all over the office, on doorknobs, keyboards, etc.
Within a week, most of the people in the office were down sick with the flu in the middle of a presidential election.
Street-level biological terrorism.
I know your story is a lark, because of “He wanted to stay home, but he dragged himself to the office when nobody was around”
In America, you work yourself to the bone publicly and without consideration of illness, because line must go up. American work ethic is dumb and destructive like that.
Why is that a “lark?”
There would be lots of times when a campaign office would be closed - late at night, holidays, when the staff is at a campaign event, etc. It’s not difficult to believe that he would know of a length of time when he could be alone in the office to spread germs, as long as he had a key.
It is just that being stealthy isn’t required in the first place. He could just go to work, and the infection will spread. Remember, MAGA doesn’t wear face diapers. Or believe in germ theory. Probably doesn’t endorse handwashing, neither.
This was long before Covid, so nobody was thinking about masks.
Campaign offices are often crowded and busy, and you aren’t going to be able to smear your spit on various keyboards, work surfaces, door knobs, handles, etc. without getting noticed.
If you have access, then it’s just easier, and safer, to do it when nobody is around.
Fucking loser. Nazi POS.
Unless they’re using a calibrated tape measure, I don’t think eyeballing 25ft is going to hold up on court.
Eh. The law is more likely to be voided based on the rulings mentioned in Indiana and Louisiana. The courts never seem to care about the eyeballing of required footage. Just ask all the folks who have paid fines based on distances for traffic tickets.
Plus, that whole ‘beat the ticket, but not the ride’ saying is too fucking true. It’s shitty, but the legal system doesn’t give a fuck. They’ve (the supreme court that is) even said that an officer pulling you over for a law that doesn’t exist is perfectly fine.
