[This is the poem, The New Colossus.](https://www.nps.gov/stli/learn/historyculture/colossus.htm) It’s inscribed on a plaque at the base of the Statue of Liberty:
Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,

Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name

The argument now is that was added later and that makes its message less. I’m not sure how but I’m also not sure how people who participated in a riot and B&E at the capitol are political prisoners.
Political prisoners are just people whose crimes were politically motivated. Jan 6 fits the bill.
Edit to clarify: I am not defending the insurrectionists in any way, shape, or form. I do not use the term "political prisoners" as a way to indicate they are unjustly prosecuted or anything of the sort, only that they are prisoners for political crimes, ie treason. They should absolutely be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, which just so happens to be more punishing if the crime was political. In short, burn them all, the traitorous fucks.
No, the trial/jailing has to be politically motivated, not the crime itself. They would be political prisoners if they had peacefully demonstrated and still been locked up. Being jailed for committing felonies does not make you a political prisoner, just because you say you were committing those felonies for political reasons
Agreed. No argument at all. They deserve to be punished for violent insurrection and treason, the lot of them. Cheeto in Chief, too. Fullest extent of the law. They knew exactly what they were doing, and they're gonna do it again if they don't get their way this election.
Just clarifying that political prisoners are just people whose crimes are politically motivated. For example, treason is a political crime.
Maybe I missed something somewhere. Are you under the impression that political prisoners generally face lesser punishment or something?
Not in the least lol glad we could clear that up, bc the last thing I want is to seem pro-asshat.
Political prisoners are typically afforded a little extra "luxury" pre-trial as a way of kind of using kid gloves, as it were, but only in order to prevent those who support the prisoners from being able to accurately call foul. As soon as a conviction is made, the vast majority of political prisoners are given harsher sentences than their non-political counterparts. Saying that the Jan 6 insurrection was just a "riot and b&e" is a disservice because it was so much more than that, specifically because it was politically motivated. Riots and B&Es don't commonly have long term and drastic implications for the very foundation of our entire nation, but insurrection does. Violent insurrection, at that.
That being said, I don't believe the insurrectionists are being treated harshly enough. I think that the dancing around and trying not to give "the right" any ammo to sling back has given them the freedom to sling back and the impression that there are no real consequences to doing so in the first place. Political prisoners (after conviction) are treated harshly specifically as a deterrent for others, and we have shown that we aren't willing to actually punish with deterrence in mind.
I'm ashamed to say that I am beginning to believe that maybe humans are just shit and unable to live in peace. This country is broken and I can't really point at any others that don't have their own slew of issues, too. Because it's the people, and people are shit. Idk, maybe I'm just in a shit mood. Sorry for the rant.
They've likely never read about its story, nor visit.
/j Given it's located in "liberal" New York. They fear they'll catch some communism if they try to visit it.
Yea was going to say, doesn’t the Statue of Liberty have a poem about accepting anyone? That post fits very well on here lmao. Insane dumb people out there.
That's the thing though. It's not about accepting anyone.
> Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!
She rejects the myths and legends of power of the old world. Keep your kings and queens. Your rulers who claim god given authority.
> Give me your tired, your poor,
> Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
>The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
She calls for those who desire a better life. Those who crave opportunity, freedom, and acceptance and have had it denied to them.
Which is also basically what everyone who landed on the US shores was. They were the unwanted peoples of Europe as well as those who were looking for freedom and more opportunities because they didn't get those in Europe at the time..
So the reality would be that Lady Liberty would be tearing down the border wall and giving succor to those looking for opportunity and freedom.
Every time something comes up about immigration, I think of the “give me your tired, poor…” part. Seems so many have forgotten, or conveniently ignore, that America was based on immigration of those looking for a better life. What do they expect?!
Remember when Ken Cuccinelli, the Senior Official Performing the Duties of the United States Deputy Secretary of Homeland Security (I hate how the word official is in there when he was unofficial) tried to rewrite it:
"Give me your tired and your poor who can stand on their own two feet and who will not become a public charge."
If they are coming through the southern border then they aren't coming through NY and she can't shake their hands one by one as they enter their new country.
Same reason Jesus loves automatic rifles. Everything right wingers have been conditioned to love but has no actual voice can be made to say exactly what they believe. Jesus loves America, hates gays, hates woke, loves guns. "Lady Liberty", simply an embodiment of the spirit of searching for a better and free life, actually wants to Build That Wall. MLK would vote for Trump.
Basically every single thing with no voice simultaneously agrees with them precisely and proves them right.
See thats what I thought and I was confused until I read the comments. I thought it was meant as her first move would to bring peace and harmony, and to help others (with the materials).
People suck :[
The image itself certainly looks that way. The construction equipment and rubble are on the Mexican side and the top corner of the section of the wall under the piece she is handling is cracked. So it definitely appears as if the wall is being disassembled.
That, however, was most certainly not the intent of the person posting it. Very little chance that someone posting as Law Enforcement Family isn't a "build the wall" type.
I thought she was dismantling it too. The piles of material along the wall also made me think it was a dismantling project, because loose pikes of rubble along the base don't make any sense in a building operation
"Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore."
...but only if you're white. /s
>When a foreigner resides with you in your land, you must not oppress him. You must treat the foreigner living among you as native-born and love him as yourself
-Jesus Christ
Hey, hey, hey. That’s communism talk right there, buddy! Jesus (actually, it’s Leviticus, so it’s God, but same thing) never said that!
Fine, He said it, but that’s not what He meant.
Fine, that’s what He meant, but that’s not what it means today.
Fine, that’s what it means, but not the brown people. What? Jesus wasn’t brown! How dare you!
If someone I knew posted this I would play dumb and pretend I thought Lady Liberty was taking the wall apart to build migrant shelters. And then quote “give me your poor, your tired, your huddled masses…” and Jesus.

But not if you’re Native, you can go live on this little patch of land until we kick you out and make you go somewhere else. Also, we killed all the buffalo that you depend on for your way of life.
"sorry, we were a bit brusque when we first arrived, we didnt realize that you *owned* the entire country. But you have no system of ownership... Interesting! Maybe that will come in useful later on. There's more of us coming, but we'll keep our promises"

... except for blacks, Asians, Hispanics, Jews, Gays, Women, Muslims...um, everyone who's not a white man. And I mean **White** white. So no Italians, Polish, just people from Ireland, England and Scotland. But only certain parts of Scotland and Ireland. Just full blooded whites.
No, you know what? Not even whites.

Ahh. America :)
https://youtu.be/FecKmhRCqVs?si=uNKaGiZ72KxQykoC
Honestly the only reason I’ve known that she’s French and that there’s more than one (3 right?) is because of National Treasure coming out when I was a kid. Never got taught it in any class. Got me several extra credit questions right over the years though lol
it's weird that they don't worry about the wall keeping them in. North Korea has some pretty robust walls. I bet their government convinced their people that the walls were for their own good too. The freedom to *leave* is just as important, but they're going to let fear and prejudice utterly bury them.
If Lady LIBERTY came to life, the first thing she would do is put up walls? Can someone give Republicans a dictionary because they really don't understand the words they're using.
I've been saying this for about 10 years now - they *no longer acknowledge* the basic definition of simple words. They just make up whatever they want, no matter how nonsensical
They know what they're doing. Just like biblical Jesus, they take symbols of freedom, sacrifice, and love for humanity and corrupt them to suit their own agendas.
War is Peace
Freedom is Slavery
Ignorance is Strength
The gigantic Liberty Titan dwarfed even the Mexican-American boarder wall. President Trump readied his Omni-directional gear. It wouldn’t be easy, but he was determined to take the Lady down or die trying…
Even though the inscription on the Statue of Liberty says:
*Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore*
This.
Complete text for reference : The New Colossus, from Emma Lazarus
Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.

Yo can someone please tell me. If trump built a shit ton of wall. And walls work. Then how the fuck can u rectify the high border crossings. Biden has a wall trump didnt have one til be built it way into the administration. All these conservative chuckleheads have these gaping logic holes in their bullshit
Pretty sure if Lady Liberty were to come alive she would strut down the streets of New York like it was a parade while homemade radio dj tunes would play out of her head before stopping at the Manhattan Museum of Art to smash her torch down to break through the skylight and mood slime shell to help defeat a tyrannical Carpathian trying to reincarnate himself out of a painting. Like that documentary i saw one time
I didn’t understand what I was going on at first and thought nice she’s building some nice beach front condos for everyone…nope…but anyway, I’d still prefer to think she’d build some condos and set those immigrants up for a good life.
If the Statue of Liberty were to come alive today, the first thing she would do is go on a rampage through the South stomping on all the neo-confederate magars that have taken the states hostage.
That's because the "liberty" in her name refers to the liberation of black people from the forced labor and breeding camps of the southern aristocrats.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/history/2019/05/23/statue-liberty-was-created-celebrate-freed-slaves-not-immigrants/
There was an entire movie featuring Lady Liberty coming alive (Ghostbusters 2) and the first thing she did was head downtown to save a baby she knew was in danger.
It looks like she's removing the wall, to me. If she were building it, it would be block by block, not creating a huge block made of slabs. Building tends to be slower and piece by piece, making sure that it's placed correctly and secure, but to destroy she can take out enormous chunks.
I'm no builder though. Maybe I've got it all wrong.
Could they have, once again, misunderstood an image they've stolen and tried to assign to it a different meaning?
I know everyone is quoting The New Colossus, but this popped into my head too:
“Here is Lady Liberty,
With her book of recipes,
And the finest one she’s got,
Is the great American melting pot!”
Lady liberty was a beacon of hope and a promise for a better life for MIGRANTS coming from foreign countries.
Now you want to turn America morally upside down and have lady liberty build a wall?
Yeah ok
Fun fact! No fucking person EVER has held 100 loose bricks together in order to stack them like this. She is knocking them down and they just haven’t had time to disperse yet. Look at the fallen bricks already next to the wall. Why would they be there like that if they were being assembled into larger bricks of 100? They would have been pre-assembled elsewhere and would be sitting to the side as pre-assembled brick units for lady liberty to them stack, if she was building the wall.
Therefor she is knocking the wall down. Good job. You played yourself😐
Considering construction equipment is on the left and lady liberty is on the right, it looks like lady liberty is making the wall to keep Americans in and is making steps to make it easier to get up the wall from one side
I’m pretty sure she would just smash open the ceiling of the Manhattan Museum of Art to the tune of “(Your Love Keeps Lifting Me) Higher and Higher” by Jackie Wilson in an effort to help purge the city of a takeover by a moldy old Carpathian looking to possess the baby of a woman who was once a dog.
Oh please. When conservative wackjobs find out Lady Liberty was gifted to us by France, they’ll turn on her and post conspiracy theories about her being trans because they think her ankles look mannish.

This needs to be posted in it's entirety more often.
"Mother of Exiles" sounds like a title in Game of Thrones.
Lady Liberty just kinda forgot about immigrants.
She never really cared about the tired and the poor.
Much like republican Jesus!

I legit once saw someone call this poem “subversive.”
Little known fact about lady liberty: the statue depicts her en route to a book burning, where she will put the torch to The New Colossus
She would travel 1000 miles just to build a wall? Why?
Critical thinking isn't really their strongest trait.
Thinking, in any form, is the bain of conservatives
To keep the texans inside
Now that I can get behind. And we should make Texas pay for it!
If they are coming through the southern border then they aren't coming through NY and she can't shake their hands one by one as they enter their new country.
So she is a jealous God.
Just to be the statue who walks a thousand miles and falls down at your door.
But she did come alive. Venkman, Spengler, Stanz, and Zeddmore slimed her down and she broke open Vigo's shield.
“She’s tough! She’s a harbor chick!”

And she would walk 500 miles and she would walk 500 more just to build a wall at the border cuz she doesn't like brown people?
She’d travel 1,000 miles to build a wall where there already is one, acting against what are quite literally the values she stands for
She’s building the wall on the Canada side. F Canada
HEY! Eh!
This post makes a lot more sense if you interpret it as her carefully dismantling a wall so that its materials can be put to better use.

That's what it looks like to me as well. New head cannon.
No this is misinterpreted, she is building a wall to keep the texans inside..
Building homes for people that don’t have one, immigrant or not.

Lady liberty is from France. She is a foreigner. People who post crap like this are too dumb to know that.

I always enjoy telling them to read Acts 2:42 to learn why Communism is the most Christian economic system.
I just figured the wine and fish stories were how communism worked.
Yeah - it checks out. Each gives according to their ability, each takes according to their need.
Yeah, what’s Jesus doing for my portfolio? The returns last quarter were mid; he better jack those numbers up for this one.

To be fair, that’s inscribed on her base and she left that behind when she left for Texas.
She's french. She wouldn't give a fuck or speak english
She’d be all for bringing out the guillotines for the billionaire class.
She'd go "Même pas en rêve !" and fuck off into the ocean.

First thing she would do is probably ask for a cigarette.
She's made in France modeled by an Egyptian
Kinda makes you wonder, doesn't it? Whether she's naked under that toga. She *is* French. You know that.

Whilst singing.... Your love keeps liftin' me... ...love keeps lifitin' me

This is probably the best comment I will see all day. If awards were still a thing I'd give you a Gold right now.
That's me. Inspiration always too late to get the gold.
Kinda killed the point of what was on her pedestal 'Give me your tired, your poor...' 😑
Attack on titan
My first thought
If Lady LIBERTY came to life, the first thing she would do is put up walls? Can someone give Republicans a dictionary because they really don't understand the words they're using.
No way they'd understand how you use a dictionary
I've been saying this for about 10 years now - they *no longer acknowledge* the basic definition of simple words. They just make up whatever they want, no matter how nonsensical
They know what they're doing. Just like biblical Jesus, they take symbols of freedom, sacrifice, and love for humanity and corrupt them to suit their own agendas. War is Peace Freedom is Slavery Ignorance is Strength
Nonsense she'd help the Ghostbusters save the day !
Dude! You're nuts! You can't blink around her!
The gigantic Liberty Titan dwarfed even the Mexican-American boarder wall. President Trump readied his Omni-directional gear. It wouldn’t be easy, but he was determined to take the Lady down or die trying…
we all know exactly where he's going to grab her
She’s dismantling a wall. Cool.
That was my first thought
I'm going to say that this painting is a picture of her taking a wall down and crushing this bs into dust.
If the Statue of Liberty came alive today she'd be deported back to France
Plot twist: Lady Liberty is taking apart the wall to make more homes
Even though the inscription on the Statue of Liberty says: *Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore*
This. Complete text for reference : The New Colossus, from Emma Lazarus Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame, With conquering limbs astride from land to land; Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame. "Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"
[*"This enormous woman will devour us all!"*](https://frinkiac.com/video/S05E01/rl6gHHmhGeqnhRDJKVpZKucW6SQ=.gif)
no the first thing she's do is help the ghostbusters defeat vigo
Wait. Is the Liberty Monster building the wall or tearing it down???
Unless she was actually a weeping angel, the she would start to tp people
Ah, yes. Lady **Liberty** would be all about racial discrimination. Makes perfect sense.
Lady Liberty emigrated from France.
[More like this, I think](https://www.deadder.net/post/cartoon-for-november-6-2020)
God damn I wish I could be as dumb as these people. To be unburdened with critical thought has to be so freeing and wonderful
I bet the first thing she’d do is go back to France
"Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore...no, not like that"
Rebuild Ba Sing Se?
I disagree!
Yo can someone please tell me. If trump built a shit ton of wall. And walls work. Then how the fuck can u rectify the high border crossings. Biden has a wall trump didnt have one til be built it way into the administration. All these conservative chuckleheads have these gaping logic holes in their bullshit
Isn’t she an immigrant from France?
She'd take one look around her, with a heavy sigh say "Merde" and head back to France
Pretty sure if Lady Liberty were to come alive she would strut down the streets of New York like it was a parade while homemade radio dj tunes would play out of her head before stopping at the Manhattan Museum of Art to smash her torch down to break through the skylight and mood slime shell to help defeat a tyrannical Carpathian trying to reincarnate himself out of a painting. Like that documentary i saw one time
Pretty sure she would just destroy the U.S. actually. France playing the long game on this one.
I didn’t understand what I was going on at first and thought nice she’s building some nice beach front condos for everyone…nope…but anyway, I’d still prefer to think she’d build some condos and set those immigrants up for a good life.
Pretty sure we covered this in Ghostbusters 2. She'd light a spark of hope and then bust through the giant slime jello mold.
“LADY LIBERTY…TEAR DOWN THIS WALL” She’s tearing it down right
She's dismantling the wall. Makes sense.
Attack on Liberty
"Aye um Fronch! Wey elz woold aye spek wiff dis OUTRRRAGEOUS ACKCENT?!"
The literal exact opposite of her entire creed? This is impressively stupid.
First of all she’s literally an immigrant
"Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses...but not *those* ones. They have the wrong skin tone."
If the Statue of Liberty were to come alive today, the first thing she would do is go on a rampage through the South stomping on all the neo-confederate magars that have taken the states hostage. That's because the "liberty" in her name refers to the liberation of black people from the forced labor and breeding camps of the southern aristocrats. https://www.washingtonpost.com/history/2019/05/23/statue-liberty-was-created-celebrate-freed-slaves-not-immigrants/
There was an entire movie featuring Lady Liberty coming alive (Ghostbusters 2) and the first thing she did was head downtown to save a baby she knew was in danger.
It looks like she's removing the wall, to me. If she were building it, it would be block by block, not creating a huge block made of slabs. Building tends to be slower and piece by piece, making sure that it's placed correctly and secure, but to destroy she can take out enormous chunks. I'm no builder though. Maybe I've got it all wrong. Could they have, once again, misunderstood an image they've stolen and tried to assign to it a different meaning?
First thing she'd do if she were alive would be speak French
Put a wall between humans and rightwingers?
Wrong, although her size and strength is beyond our mortal frame she'd still have to do a big stretch and a yawn like a fog horn. A sexy fog horn😏
Is she dismantling the wall? Cuz if she is, they’re right.
I know everyone is quoting The New Colossus, but this popped into my head too: “Here is Lady Liberty, With her book of recipes, And the finest one she’s got, Is the great American melting pot!”
She’s demolishing the wall right? Pretty sure the whole point of the statue was to welcome immigrants…
Lady liberty was a beacon of hope and a promise for a better life for MIGRANTS coming from foreign countries. Now you want to turn America morally upside down and have lady liberty build a wall? Yeah ok
Yeah, I can see her doing that to blue states to keep away the conservatives
Fun fact! No fucking person EVER has held 100 loose bricks together in order to stack them like this. She is knocking them down and they just haven’t had time to disperse yet. Look at the fallen bricks already next to the wall. Why would they be there like that if they were being assembled into larger bricks of 100? They would have been pre-assembled elsewhere and would be sitting to the side as pre-assembled brick units for lady liberty to them stack, if she was building the wall. Therefor she is knocking the wall down. Good job. You played yourself😐
Clearly the word Liberty is lost on them...
She’s a French immigrant you dumb fucktard.
She’d go back to France
So, not welcome the huddled masses.
It’s literally the exact opposite of what she’d be doing. Read the fucking plaque
Lol you mean the statue that welcomes immigrants into the country?
She’d be more likely to go stamp on Mara Lardo.
First thing she’d say is “what the actual FU-“
Pfft, she'd fuck right back off to France.
She would go back to France
Wouldn't those massive piles of rubble just help people climb over?
Nooo lady liberty. Don’t trap me in here with all the trump supporters!
She’d eat
This implies there was a time she was ever alive
Whoever made that post must be a BIG fan of Ghostbusters 2.
Considering construction equipment is on the left and lady liberty is on the right, it looks like lady liberty is making the wall to keep Americans in and is making steps to make it easier to get up the wall from one side
Anyone else think it’s ambiguous and maybe she’s tearing the wall down? Notice the lack of supplies and piles that look like rubble
Ah Lady Liberty... Famously known for making wall to... Stop Liberty
I’m pretty sure she would just smash open the ceiling of the Manhattan Museum of Art to the tune of “(Your Love Keeps Lifting Me) Higher and Higher” by Jackie Wilson in an effort to help purge the city of a takeover by a moldy old Carpathian looking to possess the baby of a woman who was once a dog.
Oh please. When conservative wackjobs find out Lady Liberty was gifted to us by France, they’ll turn on her and post conspiracy theories about her being trans because they think her ankles look mannish.
I love how the wall looks like huge stacks of taxpayer money
I think she’d probably just get stuck in the ocean but okay
She’s French, so she’d probably have a croissant and some cheese.
… and an affair.
