Oh snap! Some of those people getting sent to fucking die in the desert might have a legal claim to getting released?!?!?! you know, assuming the trump admin ever even bothers to look for their body.

That could be the difference between someone getting checked into a fucking concentration camp vs walking free.

Look… I love a “Germans love their paperwork” joke as much as anybody. NOBODY was ever turned away from a concentration camp after they were put on the train because it wasn’t clear if their name was Goldstein or Holdstein. Just like the republicans won’t care if it is Joe Gonzalez from Hollywood California or Joe Gonzales from Hollywood Florida.

Fuck yeah. The Oath of Enlistment (and similar oaths like commissioned officer, federal employee, etc) literally compels those who took it to engage Trump the way they do any other enemy of the US / threat to the constitution. But have they? No.

Then they are fucking complicit. But hey, at the Seattle Trials I am sure a bunch of them will be glad to say “I was just following orders”.

But are there smaller steps of resistance that can be taken by that group?

And “Tee hee hee. mess up the paperwork but not too much” ain’t fucking it. And pretending it is is just refusing to acknowledge the reality of what is going on AND giving the “just following orders” jackasses any cover at all.

If it seems small and insignificant, do it anyway. It’s better than nothing, and that shit adds up.

No. Messing up the paperwork of people being sent to an oubliette to die does not “add up”. If anything, it contributes to the actual goal.
