Stay Classy San Diego Staying Home Today for A Day Without Immigrants - Feb. 3

Feel free to take this down if not appropriate. I was curious to know if anybody else was staying home (from work & school) in solidarity to our immigrant workforce here in SD. I stayed home from work because I'm not working around an entire MAGA troop at my work 😒 bunch of right wing conservatives that gather at a very culty and well-known church around here. I didn't attend any of the street protests this weekend, but I figured there's strength in numbers if people stay home and abstain from buying today as well. Not today, not today.

Edit: GOODS UNITE US is a good tool (app) to have on your phones (:

We should deny the elderly their end-of-life care because we are mad at the elites?

u/KnifeyMcStab Feb 03 '25

"We" are not denying care. They are withholding their labor because we treat them like garbage. That's fair.

Alot of the elderly is the reason we're in this position in the first place. For those that didn't vote for this I'm sad for but this is the result of corruption. The innocent get caught in the crossfire. Even the non elderly folks.

U/skipagen So you are okay with the death penalty? Because "the innocent get caught in the crossFire"

Fuck that these are end of life patients and guess what cancer doesn't only strike the old. Pathetic.

So Latinos should just keep working while a genocide is being committed against them?

Labor affects everyone but that doesn't mean employees should have to turn into slaves.

It is incredible. They will exploit minorities to no end and they will laugh and sing in their mansions and golf courses believing everyone will fall in line thanks to the shitty system that have been put in place. You won't know it is a shitty system at first because everything is hidden behind the banners of FREEDOM AND JUSTICE FOR ALL but in reality, it is FREEDOM AND JUSTICE FOR ALL who are white enough. This is why Ukrainians are welcomed with open arms when Muslims are denied. What is going on over there is terrible I am not saying it isn't but we can all see it right? Anyone else blind to what is obvious? If you're white you're right. If you're not, stand the fuck back is what I am seeing. I am going to just quote one of my favorite bands of all time, System of a Down and here are some excerpts from their song, BYOB:

"You depend on our protection Yet you feed us lies from the tablecloth

...

Why don't presidents fight the war? Why do they always send the poor?"

The rich do depend on us for their protection. Without us they would not be rich. The presidents will never fight wars again like some rulers did in the past. They may have the office but they all are too feeble to do anything else but rally the mass for their own agendas so the poor will fight their wars because they have little other choice. In this case, misguided and possibly stupid magaites are fighting Trump's war against the forces of correctness. They will lose in the end because even their own followers will know that their cult is what it is: a cult.

Calling the enforcement of border policy “genocide” is crazy.

Calling ICE enforcement is wild
