Hey champ, it’s one thing if a private entity chooses to act on their own regarding speech, it’s another when the federal government threatens the private entity to punish the employee’s speech.

They’re making the narrative and they will bastardize the truth however they can so they can go to war with the American people and destroy the Republic

“Don’t care what it costs. Nothing else matters if this isn’t handled.” is the premise all fascists use to take away civil liberties, violate human rights, and kill people.

It is so clear that ICE is made up of people that want to be at war with the American public, so to save America and Americans, ICE needs to be abolished

And by “we”, that of course means the entire American people, who want people educated and law-abiding, and “they” meaning the people who want to manufacture a crisis

Are they just holding employees hostage?

These people should absolutely be tried for kidnapping, neglect, and abuse. Depraved way to treat other human beings

It’s all the same formula to evade any sense of responsibility: “Trump administration says ___ , but critics disagree.”

We’re seeing in live time the switch from “The government should be accountable to the people” to “The people should be accountable to the government”

An unfathomable number of effects left on the road not taken — disease treatments, food security for children, fruitful retirements, business opportunities, climate stability, wage growth — all not to mention a general trend of our culture towards compassion and humanity, all left unrealized

What’s frustrating too is everyone’s life has — everyone’s! They’re just sticking their heads in the sand and not seeing being what’s immediately in front of them

If you burn down a forest, you don't miss out on lumber for just that season. You have to replant all the trees, nurture them, and wait for them to grow. The science and research budget cuts happening now are wanton, senseless arson. Recovery, if it ever happens, will take generations.

“I'm not convinced they need to film, the whole movie can soon be generated!“ after seeing lightningbolt.jpg slapped on Uncanny Valley Harry is so unintentionally hilarious

“Sure, he has murdered millions of children, but can’t we look past that for his obvious influence in elections like Wisconsin?”

By trying to destroy the Republic, they are trying to destroy America. Very simply, these people hate America.

Sorry, that was an unfinished late-night thought! The name is definitely awful! I meant it’s shocking to see “America First” so prominently displayed around RSL’s stadium. For a while, I genuinely thought they were displaying fascist slogans for kicks rather than it being a sponsorship

Liberal scratched!

Even though it’s the name of their sponsor credit union, it’s jarring

“James Carville, only a dollar?! Surely that’s a typo!”

You wanna drive a big truck, and with that there are added responsibilities for the safety of children, pedestrians, and other drivers

I have several *strong* beliefs about this. Most of these cars should be outright banned, but alas, there should also be… 1. Insurance and tax increases for their added risk and space use on public roads 2. Special lower speed limits, esp. in school zones, for these trucks, with higher fines

This sucks to look at
