You Don't Have To Show Them Shit

[signalmankenneth]

I won't show them shit if I am asked either!



With immigration and other agents of the state increasingly untethered - at this point they've come for refugees, asylees, toddlers, Dreamers and a few citizens, and told a line of waiting Mainers they had to be citizens to ride a friggin' bus, a claim that prompted the ACLU to remind us, "You have rights and you should use them" - we present a role model for the times, one the ACLU has also praised for her "fierce shot of courage." Tiana Smalls, a self-described "LOUD ass Black woman" and owner of a small beauty products company who knows her rights and is "willing to act a WHOLE DONKEY" in defense of them, was recently on a Greyhound Bus from California to Nevada when border agents boarded at a state checkpoint once used to check for fruit flies. They demanded passengers' papers. Her response: "WAIT. WHAT THE FUCK?"

In a Facebook post that's been liked/shared over 100,00 times, she describes the scene: "I stand up and say LOUDLY: 'THIS IS A VIOLATION OF YOUR 4TH AMENDMENT RIGHTS. YOU DON'T HAVE TO SHOW THEM *SHIT*!!!

This is illegal. We are not within 100 miles of an international border so they have NO authority to ask you for ANYTHING. TELL THEM TO FUCK OFF!'" She added, "This is harassment and racial profiling!"and repeated, "They have NO LEGAL RIGHT or jurisdiction here! GOOGLE IT!" Then she Google translated her rant into Spanish to reassure the terrified woman sitting next to her. She says the agents got "exasperated," one said they could tell she's a citizen "because of your filthy mouth," and they got off. "These border patrol officers act like they do because they EXPECT people to be afraid of them and just comply," she concludes. "We DO NOT HAVE to just take this shit LYING down...Use your voice. Take a risk. Act an ASS....Speak up speak up speak up." Which is some stellar messaging.

What if Legina and/or Herbbilly try to enter California with no Visa, no Passport? There's check points at the State Line for a reason. Losers and slackers like Legina are just looking for a Free Ride. Fuck That!

Nice work, Ken.

For an entire message board career, myself and most of the progressive left have been saying that the xenophobic, Islamophobic, nationalist rightwing conservativism that has taken root is proto-fascist with strong whiffs of authoritarianism. At this point, there are many peer reviewed studies demonstrating that authoritarianism tracks quite well with conservatism. And by now we know that conservatism generally hold democracy, free and fair elections, and a free press in complete disdain.

The weird thing is, in years past we were met with howls of protest from rightwing message boarders if we dared to point out the authoritarian nature of conservatism. But these days, it does not even get debated because the connection between "show me your papers" Republicans and authoritarianism is manifestly clear and unequivocal.

You're talking about Iran, right? Iran, the land of the Aryans?

Or Russia?

Or China?

Or North Korea?

Or Venezuela?

Or is it simply a allegory for Credit Card Interest Rates?

Or rental Leases?

Or Parking Meter Paper Slips?

"It was not crematoria or pogroms that made our life in the diaspora bitter before they began to kill us, but persecution, harassment, stone-throwing, damage to livelihood, intimidation, spitting and scorn," Lapid said.

"I was afraid to go to school, because of the little anti-Semites who used to lay in ambush on the way and beat us up. How is that different from a Palestinian child in Hebron?"

"It is inconceivable for the memory of Auschwitz to warrant ignoring the fact that there are Jews among us who behave today towards Palestinians just like German, Hungarian, Polish and other anti-Semites behaved towards Jews," he said.

I saw this story yesterday.. The Border Patrol agents overstepped their authority.

Good for her! I guess these goons forget that most ppl now have smart phones and are quick to video anything that might be sensational. And confiscating their phones doesn't work anymore .... most of us have what we record uploaded to a cloud server where they can't touch it.
