If the oceans die, we die....<p>1970s Argentina Had Disappeared ones. People would be kidnapped. The Dirty War is the name used by the military junta or civic-military <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/dictatorship" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>dictatorship</span></a> of Argentina for its period of state terrorism in Argentina from 1974 to 1983. During this campaign, military and security forces and death squads in the form of the Argentine Anticommunist Alliance hunted down any political dissidents and anyone believed to be associated with socialism or leftist views. Looks like America might be headed this way.</p>

AnarchoNinaAnalyzes<p>This very short write up about a federal Gestapo raid on a home in Huntington Park California is almost two weeks old now, but I didn't want to let it slip through the cracks because I believe it manifestly exposes how the overtly fascist police state I've talked about the Trumpenreich creating, actually functions in practice. In one incident from the larger Invasion of LA saga unfolding right now, we've got militarized policing in American neighborhoods, a legally-dubious home invasion by ideologically motivated state security forces, the application of federally-controlled Gestapo goons to engage in domestic policing activities unrelated to immigration, and an ethnonationalist security force apparatus seeking revenge for potentially made up crimes against our slow motion ethnic cleansing project. Given the shocking footage involved, it's entirely possible you heard about this incident; but near as I can tell, there aren't many people in the mainstream discourse prepared to talk about what it all means, so let's give that a try a here.</p><p><a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/jun/27/california-home-raid-huntington-park" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">theguardian.com/us-news/2025/j</span><span class="invisible">un/27/california-home-raid-huntington-park</span></a></p><p>Federal agents blast way into California home of woman and small children</p><p>"The agents told Ramirez that they were searching for her boyfriend, but did not tell her why, according to NBC. Ramirez told the news station that he was involved in a vehicle collision with a truck carrying federal agents last week. She said it was an accident and unintentional.</p><p>A spokesperson for Customs and Border Protection told NBC: “Jorge Sierra-Hernandez was arrested because he rammed his car into a CBP vehicle, causing significant damage and obstructed the work of our agents and officers during the course of a law enforcement operation.”</p><p>The spokesperson said agents were “assaulted” during this incident and “additional rioters threw rocks and other objects at our personnel.”</p><p>The first thing I want to talk about here is the video included in this article, which I encourage you to actually watch if you haven't already (you can find it here: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rJarE4ULUgM" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">youtube.com/watch?v=rJarE4ULUg</span><span class="invisible">M</span></a> ). Yes, you just saw twelve, poorly-identified, armed to the teeth federal agents set up outside a woman's home before using an explosive device to blow open her door, and file in to the home assault rifles ready, like we're doing house to house insurgent searches in fucking Fallujah. It is unclear exactly which agencies were involved in this outrageous militarized raid but based on the government's news releases we can surmise that at least some of these goons were Border Patrol. </p><p>Why does that matter? Well, the woman inside the home, Jenny Ramirez, is an American citizen. Her two young children who were home with their mom when the feds blew the front door open? Also American citizens. So why the fuck is CBP in an LA satellite city, with a 97% Latino population, acting like the Marine Corps tossing houses in occupied territory? If your answer was "because this is an ethnonationalist government conducting a slow motion ethnic cleansing operation in what *they* consider occupied territory" you can probably skip the rest of my write up. </p><p>Naturally however, the immigration pigs couldn't just admit they're purposely terrorizing brown people and flexing their power to kick in anyone's door for any reason they feel like. Officially, CBP said they were there to apprehend the woman's boyfriend, Jorge Sierra-Hernandez, who they accused of *ramming* a CBP vehicle and "obstructing" a Gestapo raid of some kind. Actions which they are trying to tie to community protest against, again, racially-motivated Gestapo kidnapping raids in and around Los Angeles. Oh, in case you were wondering, Sierra-Hernandez is also an American citizen.</p><p>Would it surprise you to learn Ramirez says it was just a car accident? Who should we trust here? Please keep in mind that this is a fascist Department of Homeland Security we've watched repeatedly accuse peaceful protestors and even Democrat government officials of "assault" and "obstruction" even though the events were recorded on video and certainly don't match the Gestapo's description of reality. Hell, judging by the scare quotes around "assaulted" I don't even think the normally pro-pig Guardian believes the government. </p><p>The real question however is why is Customs and Border Patrol plus other immigration agents tooling around a 97% Latino city armed like they're walking into the Tet Offensive, deploying explosives and drones to force their way into a family's home like they're tossing a cartel hideout over... a traffic accident? Given that Sierra-Hernandez surrendered later that afternoon and is already out on bail, the police couldn't have handled that? Kind feels like the Gestapo wanted to scare some brown people and get revenge on a guy who rear-ended their car.</p><p>Folks, these people weren't even migrants. This is exactly the fascist future Trump, Bondi, and these white nationalist goons want for us all. </p><p><a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Fascism</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Trump</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/DHS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DHS</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/CBP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CBP</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Bondi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Bondi</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/PoliceState" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PoliceState</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Dictatorship" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Dictatorship</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/InvasionOfLA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>InvasionOfLA</span></a></p>

A Guy Named Brian (he/him)<p>“As Harvard sociologist Theda Skocpol pointed out in Talking Points Memo, it appears that officials in the Trump administration are using immigration as a way to establish a police state.
