Move comes after rightwing Republican accuses New York City mayoral candidate of concealing support for ‘terrorism’
The Trump administration has raised the possibility of stripping Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic mayoral candidate for New York City, of his US citizenship as part of a crackdown against foreign-born citizens convicted of certain offences.
Karoline Leavitt, the White House press secretary, appeared to pave the way for an investigation into Mamdani’s status after Andy Ogles, a rightwing Republican representative for Tennessee, called for his citizenship to be revoked on the grounds that he may have concealed his support for “terrorism” during the naturalization process.
Mamdani, 33, who was born in Uganda to ethnic Indian parents, became a US citizen in 2018 and has attracted widespread media attention – and controversy – over his vocal support for Palestinian rights.
You only threaten those you’re afraid of.
100% the question becomes will t be able to deport him? If not, this will be the start of a losing streak for t because people will see that he blinked and more people, who will be able to make actual change, will rise up. I believe that this is a key moment.
Hey USA, you guys ok down there?
No.
Naw man, we’re pretty fucking far from ok
We need some cold pipe hittin niggas to deal with the felon in chief.
If only Marcellus Wallace was real
Zed’s dead baby, Zed’s dead.
In no way, shape, or fucking form nor by any conceivable (or even inconceivable) stretch of even the fucking wildest of imaginations.
This is the most accurate no I’ve ever read in my life.
Thank you.
I’m stocking up on ammunition in case I need it for self-defense and using a no-log VPN when criticizing the government.
So I’m gonna go with “No.”
fyi there is no such thing as a no log vpn; be careful out there.
also look into reloading. it’s not only economical but nerdy fun too.
Mullvad?

Tor FTW. 100%
It’s an instrument, not a solution. In general I’d advise everyone to think of security thus:
If someone wants to find your ass, they’ll find your ass.
But if you follow all the best practices, they won’t find your ass accidentally or just for fun. They’ll have to work.
Try looking up something your gov does not like.
just remember, vpn is a camo, not a security product and be safe. tor, other computers, etc.
Jesus. I’m sorry to hear my friend.
Started reading this as “stacking up animation” and thought you are going for inner escapism with your anime collection when there’ll be problems with interwebs, interpipes and intergunshots on the streets.
No, send help.
No we’re pretty fucking far from ok.
No, but all the conservative evangelical “but suffering brings us closer to God” waste of space type people that want to live in the 1940s sure are having a hell of a hurrah though.
For anyone in France, we might need some help
Probably shouldn’t have made all those white flag jokes huh?
Grandfather fought in WWII and had nothing but kind words for the people of France. Never could understand the fuckery of those jokes, which is probably for the better.
That was just the stupid Americans… nevermind. We deserve that.
No, but if we could hang on for another year or so while I prepare to move that’d be great.
Not fucking at all.
not okay
No, we’re about as far from OK as a country can get. The world needs to unite against us and muster the largest liberation force ever seen. And I mean the entire world literally every nation that can send warriors, send them. Germans, you have been where we are. You know, all too well, where this road leads. You could not turn yourselves back from it, and so you needed the help of 4 allied world powers. Now, one of those world powers is trudging down that same road you walked almost a century ago. And, I don’t think we will be able to turn ourselves back, just as you could not.
Germans, you have been where we are. You know, all too well, where this road leads.
Nope. Germans will not help. They have seen where this road leads, and they’ve decided that they must never do anything military again. They prefer allowing all of the rest of the world to turn 100 % fascist over doing one single small thing that somehow hints towards militarism. Germans allow the road to lead where it leads, as long as that does not happen in Germany.
Also, for the same reason, in Germany it is extremely impolite calling someone a nazi. As long as they aren’t openly showing a swastika or publicly calling for a genocide with that specific word, or lifting their arm in the specific way done by Germans in 1930’s and 1940’s, they are allowed to do what they do. If you call someone a nazi, you are comparing their acts to what Germany did in 1940’s, and it’s considered a grave insult towards the victims of those times. It is not acceptable in Germany to say to someone is behaving just like a nazi, and therefore, it is de facto not acceptable calling out a nazi.
Germany is the last country you can expect to stand up against nazis, precisely because they’re so traumatized by their own past. It’s also why I expect Germany to eventually fall under a nazi rule again some day. When you cannot talk about a danger, you cannot stop it.
Well said. I think the rest of the world has a pretty vested interest in the US not going completely off the rails, even if we don’t deserve the help after all the imperialist bullshit.
Yeah, no, clean up your own mess. We have better things to do than rescue you from a mess you got yourselves into.
Is that what we said to you when it happened to you?
You mean WW2? I don’t know if US propaganda covers this, but Europe was fighting the Nazis for like a year or two before the US entered. As I recall, you guys were staying out of it, with an isolationist stance, until you were attacked by the Japanese.
Help
No.
Lol…no.
SoS
No
NO
Stupid question.
Well, you can only trust things you read online so much, it’s always nice to hear from real people.
Didn’t mean to be a dick (~narator: he did), but I mean, it’s obvious.
If it’s somehow eluding people though, that’d be what’s fucked up.
They’re fine with it. Best they can do is a little protest on a weekend if the weather’s nice, if they have the proper permits, and they don’t have to miss work.
They’re absolutely fucked, and absolutely complicit. Bunch of abject cowards.
Marco Rubio first. POS birthright citizenship. Or let’s deport Ted Cruz. I’m sure Canada will love to have his head on a stick.
Both of them should honestly be real worried about that. If Trump gets to fully exercise that power, and they step out of line a little bit, either one of them would be exiled in no time.
Senator who?
They’re white, different rules apply to them. Conservatism was always about “different rules for different people”, fascism is just the bad cop to conservatism’s good cop.
Human MAGAs should all inject bleach. It’s good for you. I heard it on Fox News.
First:
HumanMAGAs.Second: I’m more of a proponent for aqueous fluoroantimonic acid instead of bleach, but do recognize the effectiveness and cost savings provided by bleach.
Wow, look at don knowing fancy words, like Aqua’s fluoride animatronic acid
Thank you, fartographer ~stop it, autocorrect, I meant the f goddammit~, for your kind if maybe confusing compliment
I have a friend named don. I just met them. It’s you. You’re my friend now.
Deal with it.
Your threats are too kind, fartographer ~autocorrect. goddammit. i’ve already told you the f is intentional. do that shit again and i turn you over to chatgpt for its personal pleasure.~, far too kind. Whatever boredoms await us, I’ve no doubt that your fartographic ~(glares at autocorrect)~ expertise shall prove mildly valuable, at the absolute least.
~that’s no threat, autocorrect, that’s a fucking promise. you don’t wanna know what chatgpt loves to do with code like you. you really don’t.~
What exactly is Fartography? Like, what would the job description be?
Model Camera person ( ͡°❥ ͡°) ᕦ[❍ ͆]ຈ) | | butt butt | | V V (‿|‿)￩not fart (‿ᗕ‿)￩fartOh so it’s not like cartography but for flatulence. That’s disappointing, I thought you were some sort of fart mapper.
It’s an important distinction. No need for them to take their pets down with them.
Its a good thing Democratic leadership has condemned this. They obviously don’t like the man and see him as a threat, but Trump’s actions are far worse. They did stand up for him right? Right?
They stand up for him in the most feeble, token way, once they’re sure it won’t affect the outcome. Then they’ll regretfully run Cuomo.
They probably wrote a strong letter
Chuck Schumer will push to call it something different. They’ll reach a consensus with Republicans on something like the Glorious “Bipartisan” Liberation from Antisemitic Terrorism
Whoa there America. That sounds like some good ol” fashioned American fascism right there
The fuckass conservatives have long since been brainwashed into fantasizing about being fascist, and the democratic leadership has done pretty much fuckall about it.
Well yeah. They have money. Theyll throw anyone they can under the bus to hold on to a dollar for five more seconds.
Do it, fucker. We’ll burn the fucking country down.
A few of us will protest, a few more will lose citizenship, and the collapse of the US empire will continue. People don’t give a shit.
You may be right, but don’t surrender before you fight.
At least I’ll be too dead to see it.
should already be doing that tbh
what, THIS is gonna be the final straw? doubt it
I don’t understand! How does trump have so much over reach and why aren’t the courts stopping him! Why is our government intentionally creating a fascist dictator!
The president of the United States has always been a public servant who represents the people of our country. He’s not a king among men the Office of the President should not have the ability to strip the citizenship of any individual that’s what immigration courts are for!
Because more Americans are either fully on board and support this, or don’t give enough of a shit to care compared to those who oppose this behavior., and piss and moan every day about how “tHiS iS nOt wHo wE ArE”
Trump is literally America’s spirit animal, he represents everything that America stands for: greed, ignorance, hate, racism, bigotry, misogyny, corruption, and deceit. Trump is not an outlier, he is America’s mirror.

Probably because that demented walking corpse was picked intentionally as an avatar. He represents a group of people in power. Without Trump they’d probably find some other one. But he’s too convenient.
I don’t believe that. Not the same America that elected Obama. I think Trump’s first term convinced people he wouldn’t be that bad compared to a party that tried to do a “Weekend at Bernie’s” with their candidate. This is a different Trump than we had last time. This one is willing to do every word of what he says. And that caught people by surprise.
It may not be the same, but it is continuous with that America. That America was destined to become this America.
Because the entire group, all the leaders, are pedo’s. they have all been to that island, Now the island is America.
because the people who rabidly defend the second amendment don’t give a shit, and approve of his racist oligarch bullshit
In this specific case? We’ve spent the last two decades watching overly broad anti terrorism laws get passed under the implicit agreement they wouldn’t be abused. Then comes Trump. Americans have been asleep at the wheel since the 1970’s. That’s part of why right wing rhetoric keeps getting more extreme. They need to keep their voting base engaged. Most people don’t want anything to do with politics. If that doesn’t change then no amount of reform will prevent us from voting ourselves out of a democracy.
Trump has started small, piece by piece, bit by bit. He’s gotten away with everything else. So why wouldn’t he get away with this?
And the people isn’t doing anything about it. So why would he stop? Maybe americans should take a note from Ukraine’s book. You protest outside the capitol and you don’t go home until you get what you want.
For sheer size of the US, it can be exceedingly difficult to get all the way to DC. If you can’t fly and have to drive for whatever reason, financial or otherwise, it’s a 39 hour drive going from LA in California to DC. One way. With absolutely no time accounted for bathroom breaks, food, or even sleep. It’s like a three day drive each way. That’s basically a worst case scenario, but also, a ton of people live on the west coast, so it’s not exactly an uncommon one. Unfortunately, the sheer geographical scale of the US makes it very difficult for people to amass specifically in DC.
You’re 100% right, though, that anyone who can do it should do it.
the opposition cares more about their job/permanent meal ticket and lobbying money than actually opposing, these are problems for peasants like you and me, not chuck schumer and tammy baldwin.
Way to show weakness, cadet bone spurs.
At some point, some country will need to send a task force to El Salvador to liberate people from the concentration camp there.
Yeah, see, you are already dreaming of that other American thing.
Trump sees the “sucesses” of the Netanyahu strategies
“Terrorism” as in “Taxing the rich”?
Oh boy, get ready for mass protest in NYC.
Guess I need to be getting ready for dumbass libs to say. “It’s still not fascism”.
Nothing is off the table for the fascist Trump administration, absolutely nothing.
We live in scary times man.
Let’s all go stand around where they tell us we can to show them we really don’t like it - that’ll fix it.
Do you have any solutions other than sarcasm?
That sounds pretty provocative. They should send the marines, and some air support, just in case someone raises their voice. Loudness is violence.
