The Mamdani Act would amend existing immigration law to prohibit the admission and naturalization of any noncitizen who is or was a member of, affiliated with, or advocates for a Chinese communist, communist, socialist, Islamic fundamentalist or other totalitarian party—or any organization that advocates those ideologies. Under its deportation provisions, a noncitizen already in the United States could be removed if they engage in advocacy for socialism, communism, Marxism or Islamic fundamentalism, distribute or publish material promoting those ideologies or hold membership in affiliated organizations at any point after admission.

You know he is a much needed anti-toxin, especially when they name a bill after him. Let the healing begin.

        I mean where have you been? If laws and rules no longer had any meaning then why is the administration being forced to give back the tariff money and repeal them? Why was the admistration forced to re-hire thousands of federal employees it illegally terminated? Why was the national gaurd forced to leave several cities?

        These were all decided by the courts and the administration complied. I’m not saying compliance is perfect, and I’m not saying the administration isn’t trying to do very undemocratic things. But clearly there is still some rule of law.

          The prevailing sentiment from the Lemmy community is that Trump is completely unstoppable and we should all just give up and accept his tyranny.

            Or perhaps sentiment is that the institutions empowered to stop him are unwilling to do so because they are captured by capital… and that we all need to put people into power who won’t betray the people and who are willing to do something with that power to help everyone else… and perhaps work to restructure things so that the system works in favor of the working class instead of incrementally submitting to the will of capital until we are all wage slaves begging for table scraps from gold leafed shit stains like Musk and Bezos.

            The prevailing sentiment is that they’re extremely dangerous, do a lot of evil, and need to be stopped. The prevailing answer to that is “Oh, you’re overreacting, they’re perfectly stoppable, so you don’t need to worry about anything. Don’t forget to never vote under any circumstances because voting is useless and doesn’t work”

          And what difference does it make? They don’t uphold your silly court orders with every opportunity they get, and having full hold on power, they have a lot of those opportunities.

            Got any examples or are you just a useful idiot spreading hopelessness? It sounds like you don’t actually follow court cases in the USA, or don’t understand how our legal system works.

              Just assume the people who drink the Kool aid are propagandists or bots serving the same purpose.

              If not, they’re just useful idiots.
