Title: The Kryptonian Reckoning

In a shocking revelation that rocked the superhero community and the world at large, long-buried data from Kryptonian archives revealed that Krypton, the home planet of Superman, once operated a rigid class system that included the widespread use of genetically-engineered slaves—non-citizens forced into menial labor and servitude. These “servitor castes” were created by the ruling Kryptonian elite for the sole purpose of maintaining their utopian society. While Superman himself was born generations after the abolition of this system, the bloodline of the House of El—his ancestral family—was found to be deeply complicit in its creation and maintenance.

The backlash was immediate. Protesters began calling Superman a “descendant of slave masters,” and many demanded justice. Even though Superman had dedicated his life to protecting humanity, public opinion turned sharply. Activists demanded reparations for Krypton's interstellar crimes, despite Earth never being directly affected. The symbolic weight of the revelation, however, was too great to ignore.

Under immense pressure, the United Nations convened a tribunal, pushing Superman to fund reparative programs on Earth and off-world where descendants of Krypton’s servitor caste had resettled. Though he agreed and offered alien technology to support planetary healing and economic growth, many felt it wasn't enough. The Justice League, fractured and facing global scrutiny, voted to suspend Superman indefinitely, citing a "conflict of moral authority."

Eventually, ICE (Interstellar Customs Enforcement), in a highly controversial move, ruled that Superman’s Kryptonian citizenship—and heritage—disqualified him from full Earth residency. Deemed a “non-terrestrial actor with unresolved ethical liabilities,” Superman was forcibly deported into deep space under heavy guard. The final image of Earth’s once-greatest protector in chains, drifting beyond the moon’s shadow, ignited a firestorm of debate.

Was justice served? Was exile the answer? Or had humanity simply found a new scapegoat in its quest to reckon with the sins of others?

One thing was certain: even the Man of Steel couldn’t escape the weight of ancestral guilt.

Zelensky: Russians deport 2M Ukrainians, tens of thousands remain in filtration camps

[allthecanadianpolitics]

Dozens of international students from India who unknowingly came to Canada under phony admission letters will be spared deportation, says Canada’s Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship (IRCC).

Today, Sean Fraser announced that victims of immigration fraud who are facing removal from the country would be offered a temporary resident permit, if required, to ensure they can remain in Canada and won’t be subject to the five-year ban in place that usually follows cases of misrepresentation.

On a cold November afternoon in 2021, the three of us used metal lock-ons to chain ourselves together and block a quiet, private road near Gatwick airport, outside Brook House immigration removal centre, to prevent people being forcibly removed to Jamaica. We took action in solidarity with and support of people the government was trying to rip away from their children, partners and loved ones, while some were also physically resisting their deportation inside Brook House. We were arrested and charged with causing a public nuisance. We denied that and told the jury we felt we had a moral responsibility to act. The jury members appear to have empathised. They acquitted us. That speaks volumes. Living in this country and under a government proactively working to perpetuate racism, violence and other prejudice against marginalised people, there is an obligation to resist, in whatever way you can. That was our motivation. We now know that 41 of the 50 people the government tried to deport to Jamaica on that flight are still in the UK, and many of them have sent us grateful messages of support. Mothers have thanked us for resisting on behalf of their sons, while others have said that knowing there were people out there willing to stand up for them meant so much at a dark and lonely time – and that they can now enjoy their lives with their families.

After the Soviet invasion and occupation of eastern Poland at the start of the Second World War, hundreds of thousands of Polish citizens were deported to camps, collective farms, exile villages and various outposts of the gulag deep in the USSR from February 1940 to June 1941. There were four waves of mass deportations from the Soviet-occupied Polish territories. The first major operation began on 10th February 1940. The second wave began on 13th April 1940. The third wave took place betwen June and July 1940. The fourth wave occurred in June 1941. Tens of thousands of Estonians, Latvians and Lithuanians were also deported at the same time. Most of the deportees were women and children….

Today, we commemorate 78 years since the May 18, 1944 mass deportation of the Crimean Tatars from their homeland in Crimea, Ukraine.

It was the ethnic cleansing and cultural genocide of at least 191,044 Crimean Tatars on 18–20 May 1944 carried out by the Soviet government.

Can you even imagine it? They did it just in three days.

Nearly 8,000 Crimean Tatars died during the deportation, while tens of thousands died because of the harsh exile conditions. The Crimean Tatar exile resulted in the abandonment of 80,000 households and 360,000 acres of land.

A lot of Crimean Tatars have returned home after the collapse of the Soviet Union. Today Crimea is occupied again by Russia. A lot of Crimean Tatars are imprisoned and repressed. Again.

There is so much pain in the history of this brave nation.

Ukraine will win and Crimea will return to Crimean Tatars.

Waving goodbye to friends on the Ellis Island dock, these would-be immigrants, rejected under U.S. quota law, were taken to the steamship for deportation, May 2, 1923. The photo shows only one of many groups, which in this instance contained 44 disappointed petitioners.

Her name is Kira Obedinskaya. 

She's 12 years old and she's from Mariupol. 

Her mom died when Kira was an infant. Her dad, Yevhen, died during the r*ussian shelling of the city on March 17. Kira was wounded while trying to leave the city and (with people she was together) forcefully deported to Donetsk - on the territory occupied by r*ussia. 

It’s kidnapping. 

It’s mass deportation. 

It’s happening right now and I want to scream about that at the top of my lungs.

Kira has a grandfather, Oleksandr, who wants to take her home, but he’s unable to do so. Mostly because r*ssians are unwilling to negotiate. And, probably, because they sincerely enjoy torturing people.

The only thing I can do is scream about her. About her and about all the broken lives. And maybe, just maybe, if we scream loud enough we’ll be heard.

So please, scream about Kira too.

Nov 2nd 1943 (79 years ago) - 70,000 from the Karachay population of the Caucasus were deported from their native lands by Stalin.

Just a portion of the crimes committed by the government.

18 May - the Day of Remembrance for the victims of the Crimean Tatar genocide.

In 1944 the Crimea was devastated by a decision of Stalin, who decided that the indigenous people of the peninsula were a threat. The Soviet Union, while the Crimean Tatars were defending it in the war, deported their women, children and parents. Stalin gave the Tatar people a name "traitor ". World has already failed to prevent the repetition of this crime. Now, by calling the Ukrainian people "nazis", Russia is using the same scenario to justify its war crimes in the temporarily occupied territories. Including the forced deportation of Ukrainian people through filtration camps to Russian regions.
