What really is going on in the US right now? Is this worse than the first term? Why're legal people being kicked out? When is it time to really consider leave? (lemmy.selfhostcat.com)

First term a lot of people considered leaving but frankly it didn't feel like this.

Mods: I am unsure if this question goes against rule 2 or not. I mean to ask this as the general situation but of course it is political. The wording of the rule makes it unclear if politics are allowed or not...

Half of my friend’s family is gone and ICE is inching toward gestapo territory. It’s pretty bad

Were they legal? No judgement from me either way, but if they were make sure you include it when you tell people. I have some folks I am scared for and everybody's argument to me has been "They're only taking felons" or "they're only taking illegals"

I don't think so. So if you see them take somebody who has papers tell everybody.
