So if you consume a lot of political news, you might know that one of the 300+ Korean workers dragged away in chains by #ICE from a #Hyundai battery plant in Georgia was a pregnant engineer. I just heard her speak to the media about conditions in detention and how terrified she was that something might have gone wrong with her baby under the extreme stress (thankfully, a checkup back in #Korea confirmed the fetus is doing fine). She's resolute and angry, and wants to sue the "land of the lawsuit" in her words. I wish her every luck and would like to congratulate the Trump admin for thoroughly burning bridges with Korea--there isn't a Korean, other than a tiny minority of contemptible lickspittles, who will be unmoved by her story, to say nothing of the deluge of literally hundreds of stories that will follow.
Like, President Lee Jae-myeong enjoys an approval rating of over 60% right now, but sign the kind of deal the U.S. is demanding right now and he'll lose at least half his ratings and his own majority party in the National Assembly will fucking impeach him. Not that he'll do it because he didn't win the Presidency by being a fool, but that's the national mood and I don't see it turning forgiving anytime soon.
"President Donald Trump has said foreign workers sent to the United States are 'welcome' and he doesn’t want to 'frighten off' investors, 10 days after hundreds of South Koreans were arrested at a work site in Georgia.
In a post on his Truth Social platform, Trump wrote: 'I don’t want to frighten off or disincentivize investment.'"

"Analysts warned the [chaining and humiliating of hundreds of South Korean workers in Georgia] could undermine the Trump administration’s effort to attract foreign investment. The Georgia factory is being constructed with billions of dollars in investment from South Korean firms."

"Farmers in the rural region near the New York border say those stories are not unique.
'The whole thing is screwed up,' said John Painter, a three-time Trump voter who runs an organic dairy farm in Westfield. 'We need people to do the jobs Americans are too spoiled to do.'”

'Agent Amerikaanse immigratiedienst schiet man dood bij staandehouding'
A U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent shot and killed a man on Friday as officers attempted to detain him in a Chicago suburb, the Department of Homeland Security and local officials said. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/09/13/world/ice-officer-kills-man-chicago/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #donaldtrump #us #chicago #ice #immigration

This kind of protest started in Los Angeles and goes on everywhere now: people find where #ICE is staying in their area and make noise outside at all hours until the hotel throws the Nazis out.
Most hotels hate ICE, at least for the practical reason that they have undocumented workers. So ICE books under false pretenses and most hotels are glad to throw them out anyway.
They don't allow communities any peace, they should get none.

Hey, all those worries privacy advocates have had about Stingray (fake cell phone data collection devices) being abused? GUESS WHAT.

The widespread proliferation of guns is what I dislike the most about living in the USA. So much suffering, death and fear. It's hard to understand how no progress is made even in the face of the continual harm done to our society. Charlie Kirk should've been safe, or at least safer, to sit and talk to people today.
Gestapo officers like Charlie Kirk, Donald Trump, Elon Musk, Larry Ellison, and any other limp-dick ICE goons would have no reservations putting people like you on the chopping block first. @anji

"It’s a dangerous mistake to think Trump’s immigration purge is just about Latinos. He’s made that clear himself. We have reached the point in our burgeoning white nationalism when our high court has deemed brown synonymous with illegal, regardless of what country that pigment originated in. False distinctions about who is being targeted create divisions at a time when solidarity is our greatest power."

The White House says it wants foreign investment in manufacturing. This is an odd way of showing it. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2025/09/10/world/hyundai-ice-raid-makes-no-sense/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #hyundai #lg #us #donaldtrump #immigration #ice
People on Threads talk about the ICE raid on a facility Hyundai was building in Georgia, which will not open now after nearly 500 people, mostly South Koreans, were rounded up out of the blue.
"Hyundai’s halt: Construction is paused, and Hyundai has signaled it won’t move forward with the plant. That’s a $4.3 billion investment gone."
