It’s what happened to Jews in Germany in 1938 when their passports were declared invalid. That is what is beginning to happen here, now, to Hispanic citizens along the U.S.-Mexico border.
Oh, is it bad to compare the GOP to Nazis? Well, if members of the GOP do not like being compared to Nazis, they should consider not behaving exactly like Nazis.
Hispanic U.S. citizens, some of whom were in the U.S. military, are not being allowed to renew their passports. This is reportedly happening to “hundreds, even thousands” of Latinos, according to a report in the Washington Post. They’re getting letters from the State Department saying it does not believe they are citizens. The government claims their citizenships are fraudulent. “I’ve had probably 20 people who have been sent to the detention center—U.S. citizens,” Jaime Diez, an attorney in Brownsville, told The Washington Post.
The Washington Post also reports on ICE officials coming to citizens’ homes and taking their passports away. This is an escalation from a few months ago, when Americans were detained by ICE officials just for speaking Spanish to one another.
The administration is currently launching an effort to take citizenship from people who they suspect of fraud in obtaining it. Fraud in these cases is exceedingly rare. The last time the government tried to strip people of their citizenship was, according to Columbia Professor Mae Ngai, during The Red Scare of the 1950s. As Ngai remarks, McCarthyism is not typically remembered as a good period in American history.
There is good reason to believe that this could portend still worse things to come for the U.S. Hispanic population, unless people begin to speak out loudly, and fast.
First, they came for the Hispanics and I did nothing.
Then they came for (fill in the blanks) and I did nothing.
Then, when they came for me, there was no one to do nothing.
GUYS.
SILENCE IS COMPLICITY.
IT WILL HAUNT NOT ONLY YOU BUT YOUR CHILDRENS CHILDREN.
DONT BE SILENT. PASS THIS AROUND. Let everyone know it’s happening!
Mayura has to be an akuma because her skin is bluish, and miraculouses don’t change skin colour
But! Then this means that Mayura comes after the scarlet thing is over!
At this point it’s either Emilie, Kagami or Marinette I think
otjize
Actually, Miraculous can change skin color, if it holds a meaning to the transformed person, just like everything else in the transformation.
This is Mudekudeku. She’s a previous Ladybug, and when she transformed, her skin turned red with black spots. This is because she is an OmuHimba, and the Himba people use otjize
paste; a red paste used to clean the skin, as well as protect against the sun and mosquitos.
The Himba people are famous for the otjize
paste, so Mudekudeku’s transformation includes a version of that, since it’s a part of her heritage.
Judging from Mayura’s name and blue skin, I’ll bet her wielder is of Indian descent, or has a connection to Indian culture, as the name Mayura means peacock in several Indian languages, and Hindu gods often have abnormal skintones, including blue. Peacocks are even associated with a good handful of Hindu gods
If you are 18+ and LGBT, GET OUT AND VOTE ON NOVEMBER 6TH. TRANSGENDER RIGHTS ARE IN DANGER.
The Trump Administration is planning to change the legal definition of sex to- “male or female, unchangeable, Unless by genetic testing.” Aka, trans people would be completely erased. They would have no rights towards discrimination, changing their gender, or even presenting as trans in general. If you aren’t planning to vote or you’re on the fence, PLEASE, for the love of god, get out and vote. We have to protect our community.
You know we’re in the dark timeline when Stephenie Meyer has minded her own damned business for years and J.K. Rowling keeps tumbling down the metaphorical steps of murdering her own universe and personal character in the public eye for everyone to see.
Like, if in 2008 you had told me Stephenie Meyer would quietly retire and stay in her lane instead of continuing to write weird Mormon fantasy with nothing but white characters and J.K. Rowling would be on Twitter spouting some shit like “THE GOBLET OF FIRE WAS ACTUALLY ONCE A TRANS WOMAN, I’VE BEEN SITTING ON THIS SINCE 1986!” I’d say you were a fucking liar.
Please let me add my wonderful addition of black Cowboy Bebop characters this tweet forgot. I couldn’t find images for black background characters because they didn’t involve in helping the plot but they’re there!
I’d also like to add Afro Samurai by Takashi Okazaki
i remember in 2014 everyone was pointing out how creepy twilight was and how edward was constantly depicted as a stalker and the shit with jacob literally falling in love with a fucking baby and now its 2018 and people are trying to claim twilight was actually good all along and we only hated it bc of misogyny or whatever like… how did y’all get less woke
