It's quiet in here

They are afraid to get deported for replying.

Checks out, Israel has been explicitly and intentionally modelling Nazi Germany from the very start, and often in collaboration with them.
-
and Nazi Germany modeled its policies on US Indian removal. "Western civilization" is just white supremacist settler colonialism all the way down.

I'm OOTL or something who's the bottom guy?

That's Mahmoud Khalil, a normal dude in the US with a green card, who the ICE has a hold of and wants to deport because he did some very legal peaceful protests for Palestine
-
Important to note here that the he has not been charged with a crime.
If a legal resident commits a crime there is a process to detain, try, sentence, and (potentially) deport them. It happens all the time. But that is not what is happening here. They arrested and detained an American without due process.

Aii caramba, that's pretty... Well standard for the US by now, but still.

We heard about people getting disappeared in China for criticizing the party. Now people are being disappeared in the US because they speak up against Israel committing a genocide.

What really got me was how quickly conservatives pivoted from "Russia is an enemy of all right thinking, red blooded Americans!" during Snowden/Wikileaks under Bush to "Vladimir Putin is the only man who truly cares about freedom and democracy!" under Obama.
Same with Hong Kong, which consistently enjoyed the highest praise in Paleocon/Libertarian circles... right up until the 2019 protests, when half the conservative movement realized this city was fully within the thrall of the Chinese Communist Party. I've seen Singapore bleeding support for similar reasons.
People being disappeared in the US isn't a sudden turn of events. The BLM movement from 2014 revolved around chronic police abuses, including the kidnapping and murder of local residents by municipal police (Sandra Bland and Freddie Gray being two contemporary well-documented examples). Then we had the hundreds of residents tossed into Gitmo and other US blacksites, going back to the War on Terror. And the police terror campaigns during the Nixon-Reagan War on Crime/Drugs and the Eisenhower Red Scare. Hell, we've known about police-endorsed lynchings as an American tradition since Emmett Till, ffs.
But we have to pretend this is an Evil Foreigner Thing that we need a strong overseas military to prevent, rather than a sinister domestic agenda that Americans need to rebel against and overthrow. Otherwise, we might begin to see the Thin Blue Line as less of a protective barrier and more of a garrotte closing around our necks.

Y’all shoulda voted Kamala and this wouldn’t have happened…

You should find all the posts and pictures where Trump says the exact same things and worse lol. Def way more of him cozying up to Netanyahu
-
Ah yes because she said she was going to deport people and shut down protests.
Trump literally said he was going to do that while campaigning - and is now doing just that.
At least you would’ve had a voice.
Point being, this guy wouldn’t be locked up.
Edit: if anyone had any other realistic options given the situation I’m all ears lmao
