Really pissing me off seeing these ICE commercials during the UT broadcast.

The ICE commercials were far less offensive than the game coverage.

State agents need to intervene. 

Come on, J.B. Let's see what you've got.

They need to go further than that. Offer 2 combat shotguns for any resident of Chicago willing to join a regulated militia and tell people to start using the 2nd to protect the 1st and 4th.

This thread is a good reminder that giving a shit about a stupid football team is kind of pointless.

What happened in Gainesville yesterday is a good reminder that giving a shit about a stupid football team is kind of pointless.

Atlanta journalist Mario Guevara deported Friday
Mario Guevara, the Atlanta-based Spanish-language journalist who was arrested covering an anti-Trump protest, has been deported to El Salvador Friday morning at 4 a.m., according to Katherine Jacobsen with the Committee to Protect Journalists.

This came after the U.S. Court of Appeals rejected Mario Guevara’s ask to remain in the U.S. as his attorneys said he fears retribution in El Salvador for his media coverage.

“We’re not in the best spirits, but like I said earlier, he’s alive, and when this sadness passes, I know we [the family] will rise up and this time stronger. We’ll have higher spirits than ever,” he added.

Mario Guevara was arrested in June during a “No Kings” protest in DeKalb County. He’s from El Salvador and entered the U.S. legally in 2004. 

He was transferred to Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention after his arrest, even though his charges were dropped. An immigration judge ruled he could be released from detention on bond, but the federal government appealed. 

Guevara had applied for asylum in 2005 and was denied, but appealed that decision. That appeal went unresolved and was administratively closed until 2025. He was in the process of getting a green card through his U.S. citizen son. 

After his arrest, the Department of Homeland Security reopened the unresolved asylum appeal and denied it. Guevara asked the U.S. Court of Appeals to temporarily pause his deportation, but that was denied Wednesday. 

The court indicated in its decision that while Guevara was within his First Amendment rights to report on the protest, he did not have the proper paperwork filed at the right time to stay in the U.S. 

“Taken as a one-off, you could write off the case of Mario Guevara as an immigration issue, that someone might not have had all of their immigration paperwork lined up,” said Jacobsen, who serves as the U.S., Canada, and Caribbean program coordinator for the Committee to Protect Journalists.

“But I don’t think that that’s what the case is actually about. I think what we saw in this case is a really concerted effort from the government to try and deport a journalist who was very well known in the Atlanta Metro community, especially in Spanish language communities, and to curtail the ability of other reporters to go out with confidence that they could cover and live stream police activity without fear of retaliation government,” she added. “That’s what this case is about.”

CPJ reports Guevara has been the only journalist in prison or ICE detention in the U.S. this year.

I have a few questions- you say Mr. Guevara entered legally in 2004, and applied for asylum in 2005? How did he enter in 2004- student visa, tourist visa, or just (as was common once) walk across to a border town for a visit, just showing an ID?

 
His asylum request- is he legit at risk if he returned to El Salvador (hasn’t El Salvador’s governance changed a few times?)? Or, is that just a way to apply for legal residency after overstaying a visa? Is it correct to assume that at no point in the intervening 20 years that Mr. Guevara never visited El Salvador, because, you know, he was at risk?

 I notice that from 2005-2025, Dem administrations were in charge, and presumably not hostile to immigrants, especially asylum seekers and refugees. I’m curious as to why he was not able to gain legal status. 
 
A little googling shows that an asylum seeker may be employed, but must get a renewable permit to work. These permits must be renewed every 150 days. Honest question- is Mr. Guevara diligent about legal filings and the system is just that difficult, or was he lax about some elements, figuring it didn’t matter?

Well, he's wholly supportive of the ongoing genocide in Gaza, so you can probably also guess that he's generally racist and is, therefore, quite content knowing some brown person is suffering somewhere. Whether he actually believes the regime doesn't really matter; he's just happy to see cruelty inflicted on his "lessers."

Oh, Bolverk, you always have it all figured out!

Question- you call the Gaza war a “genocide”. When I think of genocide, I think of the Holocaust, the Armenians, the Tutsis. If, the Nazis, the Turks or the Hutus had ever offered, in the middle of their genocide, an offer to stop and turn the entire authority to a neutral international body, favorable to the natives, even allowing them to stay where they were but under new authority, the respective Jews, Armenians and Tutsis would have immediately agreed. 
 
Hamas hasn’t agreed. Its Allie’s in the west support it in not agreeing. I can only assume they believe they can get a better deal if they wait. 
 
Is it possible that this isn’t a genocide, but a war, and it is only called a genocide so as to remove any moral authority from the Israelis?

 
One more question- you obviously care about people, just people, of all ethnicities. The Sudan Civil War, which began the spring before the Gaza War- it has hundreds of thousands dead, with maybe half a million dead to forced starvation- who is on the right? What is the right role for the U.S.? I have been trying to learn of it, but it is tough; there isn’t a lot of coverage.

Surly CR and DT is like the great film critic Pauline Kael. After Nixon won in an overwhelming landslide over George McGovern in 1972, she wrote- “I don’t know how Nixon won. I don’t know anyone who supported him”.

Hey @statsman, I only see your posts if someone quotes you. You're on ignore because I don't associate with genocidal fascists.

And don't even bother responding. You're an enemy of the Republic and common decency.

Which makes what Israel is doing to Palestinian civilians tragically ironic.

statsman is stupid and confused because literally everybody here knows exactly how Trump won.

justin-timberlake-smh.gif.f50cdfb3bf4538df16b2020094a6e8e1.gif

every one of us has talked at length about family, friends, acquaintances, high school mates, neighbors, etc etc etc that are maga.

every one of us has accepted and come to terms with the fact that a majority of people who voted in 2024 support and are happy with the destruction, cruelty and worldwide embarrassment we are all experiencing. 

we do not understand it, but we know it to be fact.

Meanwhile, our darling fascist bullyboys chuckle quietly to themselves as they take perverse pleasure in a brown woman being physically assaulted by jackbooted thugs. Dickheads like @statsman wipe their shit-smeared asses with our Bill of Rights and are an existential threat to American democracy.

May they all burn in hell.

That kind of obstinate historical revisionism--a result of either being delusional or a fucking dishonest liar--is why I put him on ignore several months ago, but that was regarding the ongoing Gaza genocide. Even if you just limit the accusation to ethnic cleansing by Israel, he denies it and brings up fantasy land bullshit.

It's like talking to a brick wall, so I gave up and cut him off, refusing to engage the asshole any further.
