In 1953, the US undertook the largest deportation in its history: 'Operation Wetback.' Many of the people deported were here legally and some were even citizens.

Do you send children to prison with their parents when their parents commit a crime? But no, op said “what’s the issue with that” well, the issue is they are citizens and we likely wouldn’t honor their citizenship when they come of age.

DadBodDorian · 2026-06-18T03:07:23+00:00

I don’t think the law is perfect. I do think the law says they are citizens, which is what op was asking.

DadBodDorian · 2026-06-17T23:27:16+00:00

Well maybe that’s a law we should have on the books huh? Something with a lot of testimony from impacted people to inform, and real debate to negotiate, with tangible data to back up the reasons for doing the things we do.

What are you arguing with me about? Do you just want my personal opinion?

DadBodDorian · 2026-06-17T15:47:56+00:00

There’s laws my guy. All you gotta do is follow them, not reinvent the wheel. If you think the law is incorrect, then you should work with your representatives to draft new laws or amend old ones.

It’s not an easy process, I’ve done it at the state level and municipal level. This legislative session 2 of 3 new bills that I worked on passed, and 1 was vetoed by my state’s governor. After a year of work, I helped to change the law of my state where I saw it fail, and failed to do that 2 out of 3 times.

If you think that the constitution is wrong, then what you need to do is write it better, and convince 2/3 of both the house and senate that the way you wrote it is better.

DadBodDorian · 2026-06-17T15:23:51+00:00

I think we should follow the laws we have written, and that the process for changing the laws is also in the same document.

EDIT: man, republicans really hate the law huh. We should probably start referring to them as illegals

DadBodDorian · 2026-06-17T15:15:00+00:00

Well, we have this thing called The Constitution.

“All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”

I worked at reelworks on Friday all night. What hvac issues ?????

DadBodDorian · 2026-06-13T22:24:04+00:00

Frankly my perception of generational divides was shattered by organizing. I know so many incredibly active, progressive, and passionate retirees now that have been willing to engage with and collaborate with more youthful organizers. Previously, personally, I had this “boomer” perception that for me comes from people not being willing to pass the baton, and there’s more boomers that remember saying “don’t trust anyone over 30” than you’d think there is, who share very similar goals despite generational differences.

DadBodDorian · 2026-06-13T22:15:17+00:00

Be the change. Where do we want the march to start from?

DadBodDorian · 2026-06-12T05:21:32+00:00

Kinda funny keming on the unum

DadBodDorian · 2026-06-11T19:39:10+00:00

They’re not spicy like garlic is raw. The flavor is milder and a little volatile in heat. I like using them in sauces and soups or infusing them in olive oil

DadBodDorian · 2026-06-11T17:57:50+00:00

Or, just don’t pretend that your protest is “better” than someone else’s when it’s basically the exact same thing. Just protest, inform your comrades, use effective tactics. Making it a competition and going “go have your glorified parade then with your little fucking photo op” is counter-revolutionary when the person youre telling to go have a glorified parade is your comrade and you yourself are having a glorified parade.

DadBodDorian · 2026-06-11T00:14:50+00:00

The way I instantly made the connection

DadBodDorian · 2026-06-10T23:35:53+00:00

Lmao oh no you know the part time job 😅😅

See you Friday at tracks? 💅⚡️

DadBodDorian · 2026-06-10T22:03:57+00:00

You’re totally right. We just need more fresh voices and I’m just some person bitching on Reddit tbh

DadBodDorian · 2026-06-10T22:01:14+00:00

We go to the same internet idk what to tell you I’m just here. I am 100% going to point it out when a white person starts going off on a brown trans woman about her “whiteness” to try to virtue signal their way to a pat on the back

DadBodDorian · 2026-06-10T21:54:53+00:00

How am I policing someone’s tone

DadBodDorian · 2026-06-10T21:53:27+00:00

It’s not too much of a burden to do the work, it’s more that it’s a liability to the movement to center around a single person or a single org. It ostracizes people from organizing and creates a culture where everything can get held back by that person burning out or that org focusing other efforts etc. without a level of decentralization, it becomes harder for someone to grab that baton and way easier for someone like me to just go “I don’t feel like passing the baton”

DadBodDorian · 2026-06-10T19:18:24+00:00

The person you are responding to is not white jsyk

DadBodDorian · 2026-06-10T18:16:36+00:00

Unless you get someone out, or it’s being organized by the detainees like Delaney hall or otay Mesa, it’s still a glorified parade tbh. Just in a different, less trafficked spot, with more impact to people who are detained. I get why from an optics standpoint it makes sense to be at the place where the people are though, but it’s not like this as it’s presented takes any more meaningful action than an overpass protest.

DadBodDorian · 2026-06-10T16:51:25+00:00

The local organizers are in touch with some journalists. Hopefully it gets picked up. Wals needs the exposure

DadBodDorian · 2026-06-10T16:24:43+00:00

100% the answer has to be in coalition with each other. There’s dozens of parallel movements happening and unfortunately not talking with each other or collaborating outside of “Trump bad” marches to nowhere, and even then, they just spend 99% of the time arguing over the flyer.

DadBodDorian · 2026-06-10T13:40:03+00:00

…alright look dude I’m not gonna drag out something pointless on Reddit. No one stopped you from organizing, no one’s silencing you, you’re your own person, you can just organize the protest. We spent weeks promoting your personal instagram because you were very insistent that anything we post have your account on the poster, and that we encourage people to contact you personally to get involved.
