The "supernatural miracle" being the very natural support of human orgs.

Yeah wtf has her God got to do with freeing her lol

I'm not religious and I don't agree with the train of thought but I would think it's probably something akin to "god sent these people to help me"

[–] zr0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 months ago

The lead in the pipes is obviously doing these “miracles”

[–] mriormro@lemm.ee -3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Get fucked, man. You're stripping away your own humanity just to dunk on a woman and her fucking child who, by all accounts, were in a horrible situation under awful conditions.

You're a shitty atheist (or whatever the fuck you may or may not believe in). Worse, you're a shitty person.

Go touch grass dickhead

These ICE agents are monsters. Those directing them are even worse.

"Just following orders"

Honestly every single one of them deserves to have their names and faces on public record

[–] MunkysUnkEnz0@lemmy.world 60 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Just why? It makes no logical sense to take an infant from their mother.

Pure cruelty and lack of thought.

Fire each and every person involved in that decision.

[–] Tiger666@lemmy.ca 49 points 2 months ago

The cruelty is the point. No one is getting fired.

[–] Jumpingspiderman@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

If they unlawfully detained her, they should be prosecuted for false imprisonment and be imprisoned themselves upon conviction

Daily reminder to all my non-American homies. For the love of god do not travel to the US unless you absolutely have to.

The risk is not worth it and they dont deserve your money.

Find somewhere else to vacation. Limit it to absolutely necessary travel only.

I was just at a get together yesterday, and even standard white citizens are afraid to leave the country, fearing they'll have a hard time when they return. We're hearing lots of stories of people being grilled about their social media accounts, their opinions of the government and the president, etc. Eventually they'll start turning away American citizens for their political views, stranding them in another country without documentation.

Cancelles plans to go over next year, it can wait twenty years until you guys get a grip again.

[–] Test_Tickles@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

20? Wow. Someone is optimistic.

[–] Squizzy@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

US ineptitude fortunately goes both ways.

Imagine being given the starting point a foot short of the finishing line and fumbling the win.

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 49 points 2 months ago

The cruelty is the point, as ever.

[–] Ulvain@sh.itjust.works 47 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Why?

"If you don't look Aryan, we want you to feel like this is not a country you're welcome in. Get out." Is the message they're passing, with illegal cruelty as the medium.

[–] deltapi@lemmy.world 27 points 2 months ago

I was 'welcome home'd by a US CBP officer after flying into Washington from Africa...I'm not an American, and don't have American residency, but I'm white and speak with a neutral dialect.

I think you're right.

[–] ef9357@lemmy.world 44 points 2 months ago

Cruelty is the point. These fuckers have no souls.

[–] Flax_vert@feddit.uk 41 points 2 months ago

Having immigration control interfere with healthcare facilities is disgusting

[–] A_norny_mousse@feddit.org 34 points 2 months ago

This is misogyny at work. They have no idea how painful a milk blockage can be, and if there was a female officer present she was not heard.

Of course this is only one aspect of everything that is wrong here.

[–] Marsupial@quokk.au 29 points 2 months ago

I work with little babies and this makes me so mad knowing how traumatic this would be.

[–] fyzzlefry@retrolemmy.com 21 points 2 months ago (17 children)

Anyone who didn't vote for Harris contributes to this.

[–] theolodis@feddit.org 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Why couldn't the democrats come up with a progressive candidate instead of making this a rightwing vs rightwing race? Aren't political parties supposed to make people want to vote for them?

[–] nandeEbisu@lemmy.world 12 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Both are true here.

Yeah the Democrats absolutely shit the bed, and still are. But also it was clear that this president was not willing to uphold the constitution, was corrupt and incompetent. If you didn't care enough to focus on stopping Trump you weren't taking the situation seriously.

[–] theolodis@feddit.org 0 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

I am not allowed to vote in the US, so you definitely can't blame it on me lol

[–] nandeEbisu@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Sorry, meant you in the abstract. Not you specifically.

The US is a no travel zone for me, on par with Russia.
