The Mamdani Act would amend existing immigration law to prohibit the admission and naturalization of any noncitizen who is or was a member of, affiliated with, or advocates for a Chinese communist, communist, socialist, Islamic fundamentalist or other totalitarian party—or any organization that advocates those ideologies. Under its deportation provisions, a noncitizen already in the United States could be removed if they engage in advocacy for socialism, communism, Marxism or Islamic fundamentalism, distribute or publish material promoting those ideologies or hold membership in affiliated organizations at any point after admission.
You know he is a much needed anti-toxin, especially when they name a bill after him. Let the healing begin.
So he’d have deported Einstein, then?
Without a doubt these pieces of shit would’ve deported him, ur watching the same bad movie with an orange rapist as the lead actor, arent u, lol?
First amendment lawyers are gonna have a FIELD DAY with this one 😭
Watch the Trump admin revoke their licences.
Barr licenses are provided by states individually.
Silly you, thinking laws and rules mean anything
I mean where have you been? If laws and rules no longer had any meaning then why is the administration being forced to give back the tariff money and repeal them? Why was the admistration forced to re-hire thousands of federal employees it illegally terminated? Why was the national gaurd forced to leave several cities?
These were all decided by the courts and the administration complied. I’m not saying compliance is perfect, and I’m not saying the administration isn’t trying to do very undemocratic things. But clearly there is still some rule of law.
The prevailing sentiment from the Lemmy community is that Trump is completely unstoppable and we should all just give up and accept his tyranny.
The prevailing sentiment is that they’re extremely dangerous, do a lot of evil, and need to be stopped. The prevailing answer to that is “Oh, you’re overreacting, they’re perfectly stoppable, so you don’t need to worry about anything. Don’t forget to never vote under any circumstances because voting is useless and doesn’t work”
Or perhaps sentiment is that the institutions empowered to stop him are unwilling to do so because they are captured by capital… and that we all need to put people into power who won’t betray the people and who are willing to do something with that power to help everyone else… and perhaps work to restructure things so that the system works in favor of the working class instead of incrementally submitting to the will of capital until we are all wage slaves begging for table scraps from gold leafed shit stains like Musk and Bezos.
Clearly, they don’t. As arrow74 has explained.
People love running propaganda for MAGA like that.
“Some rule of law” is a bit of an oxymoron, no?
The Trump regime literally loses in court daily.
And what difference does it make? They don’t uphold your silly court orders with every opportunity they get, and having full hold on power, they have a lot of those opportunities.
Got any examples or are you just a useful idiot spreading hopelessness? It sounds like you don’t actually follow court cases in the USA, or don’t understand how our legal system works.
Your siting president was convicted 37 times, and instead of serving time, he’s braking more laws by illegally bombing other countries. I don’t know what other examples you need, really, but if you want some, listen to Opening Arguments, they do deep dives into a lot of specifics.
Just assume the people who drink the Kool aid are propagandists or bots serving the same purpose.
If not, they’re just useful idiots.
Mamdani is a centrist, he isn’t left. But since the Republicans are alt right and the Democrats are right, they consider everything else to be far left and label anything that isn’t right as communist. They don’t know what communism is. Even Trump labeled people communist nazis. Communists and nazis are the opposite of eachother. Americans are so, so fucking dumb.
He might not be as left as you’d like, but calling Mamdani a centrist is just ignorant
Par the course for anarchists.
If he would be a politician in my country he would he centrist, maybe a fraction on the left of the centre. But if the rest in the US is either right or alt right, I get that he looks really left. But his political views are similar to our centrist politicians.
Not to people outside the US it isn’t
Yes to people outside the US.
The Democratic party is centrist by pretty much every measure (especially outside the US), but Mamdani is a leftist.
Not even communist seems to know what communism is anymore considering China has went full on fascist as well as being an oligarchy for the last 70 years.
Mate, the USSR wasn’t even communist. Because communism doesn’t have a government run by elites and a dictator as a sole leader. It’s a wrong interpretation of what communism actually is, because bad people see a way to abuse the system to gain wealth and power. This is what happens everywhere. Rotten apples do not play fair and because of that always have an advantage in gaining positions of power. This happens everywhere. The USSR, China, modern day Russia, the US, etc.
Yes, that makes complete sense. Almost like democracy/socialism/communism is really just rhetoric for power and control.
No it’s not. They are concepts of how to have a society. They are different structures. The biggest issue with them is that in most cases they didn’t take into account the systems can be abused. Its hard to avoid abuse and corruption, as the systems are very complex. The more complex, the more opportunities there are for people to exploit.
I can’t remember who it was. But some wise person said that people applying for jobs that hold power, should automatically be rejected. The only people who should have those jobs should be dragged against their will and put there, and should only be allowed to leave when they did good.
Next to that I believe people with those jobs should have proper background checks, psychological tests and IQ tests. And they should always be held accountable for their actions.
I think this is necessary to have systems like communism and democracy work somewhat decently, with a reduced chance of abuse of power. But I prefer anarchism, where there are no country borders, no huge huge governments who dictate their rules but small communities who manage themselves the way that works best for them.
That might be true in Europe, but it’s complete bullshit in the USA.
We need 100 years of McCarthyism towards right wingers and fascist ideologies
Revenge would be sweet.
Yea a COINTELPRO reverse uno but it would also literally make our country a better place
we’re already here dumbass.
Now if we could just get them to very clearly define those ideologies as autocratic, and strike off “advocates for” as it would obstruct freedom of speech, then we could weaponize it against Trump supporters and also fight the CCP as an added bonus. Win - Win.
then we could weaponize it against Trump supporters
Believe me, it really seems that this bill demonstrates that the only good Republican is a dead Republican. But, they’re running the show without much of a violent push-back. So, it’s best not to give them ideas.
Also, weaponizing a federal law against Trump supporters at the federal level implies that he’s going to give up power. We saw how that went last time.
We’re already weaponizing tons of laws against Trump supporters, from redistricting California to the countless court decisions against him. Trump and the law have thus far been inherently opposed to each other. By making autocratic and authoritarian ideologies grounds for expulsion we could expel Trump supporters on the very same grounds.
There should be a negative consequence for proposing obviously unconstitutional bullshit with no chance of passing just for publicity
So republicans are Publicly trying to end social security. Got it. start running those ads.
The Democrats won’t because their donors won’t let them
The GOP is full of idiots
EVIL idiots
Evil idiots with POWER.
Power the evil people handed to them.
this is what you get for not hanging your fascists
If you want to pay for me to leave, thats fine,. Can I choose the country I’m deported to?
I’m pretty sure they’re using “deport” in the same way the Nazis did with Dachau.
It’s so on the nose. You have to wonder how it’s real.
This is going hard in the direction of the Nazi Germany “Enabling Act” of 1933.
Or McCarthyism. Don’t forget that one. Another classic.
Authoritarianism is an admission of abject weakness.
White supremacists are the weakest and most brittle snowflakes.
The name of this bill is how you know they are terrified of him.
