“I think it’s really scary this is going on,” said Nicole Micheroni. “I think it says they’re not being careful.”
When Massachusetts resident Nicole Micheroni received an email on Friday from the federal government telling her to leave the country, she was baffled.
“At first I thought it was for a client, but I looked really closely and the only name on the email was mine,” said Micheroni. “So it said my parole status had been terminated and I should leave the country within seven days.”
But the 40-year-old is a U.S. citizen, born in Newton and raised in Sharon.
I am torn between “This kind of amateur-hour bullshit is why they will not succeed. If you’re going to be a properly tyrannical government you have to have your paperwork in order and your threats have to be credible threats, not just random bullshit with every email you can find put into ‘BCC’” on one hand, and on the other hand “No one says she won’t get her door kicked down and whisked away even though she didn’t do anything wrong at all, just because she’s one of the class of people who’s historically been exempt from it. They definitely will start doing that to citizens at some point, it’s just up in the air how soon it will start and how much resistance there will be.”
Guarantee you that the incompetence is on purpose. It wasn’t a genocide, it was a few clerical errors, some bad AI, and a couple of lines of bad code from a junior dev. Just a big ol’ whoopsie where everyone but the Nazis died.
They’ve turned Hanlon’s Razor into a sword. Weaponized incompetence to maximize plausible deniability.
When it’s not working, it’s working.
They’re doing tyranny by testing the fences. Unlike the raptors in Jurassic Park, though, they have yet to find a spot that’s properly electrified.
Purposeful incompetence wins.
My wealthy husband didn’t feel like turning in documentation during our divorce, I certainly didn’t have the resources to stop him.
That’s how the legal system has been working. Look at fucking Oklahoma. Freedom of Information Act has been optional, our Open Meetings and Records acts have been optional.
The US’s court system has been being targeted for years. We are fucked.
If you live in the US, you are already dead. Time to act like it. Stay armed. If thugs with badges try to kidnap you, they are executing your death sentence, and it is time to fight like the rabid cornered badgers that we are. Take as many of the fascists as you can with you. Do not go quietly into that night.
