“ICE agents have to wear masks and no uniform because they have become so deeply unpopular that it’s safer to appear to be a vigilante kidnapper” is a hell of an argument

The media is so bad in the US that even that shit show of a military parade is going to be a win for Trump. He and his cohorts will claim that too many Americans are anti military, unpatriotic, instead of anti trump, and that's why turn out was so low for the parade (him) and higher for no kings.

You fight for a zygote, but cheer when a child is ripped from a mother‘s arms by ICE. Tells me everything I need to know about you.

Turns out, the “Don’t Tread On Me” states’ rights gang is rather partial to heavy treading.

For decades the NRA and other gun nuts told us that their guns were to protect us all from a tyrannical government. So a tyrannical government is here, they are all sitting on their asses, and the people who want gun control have taken to the streets to defy the tyrannical government instead.

The same chucklefucks who always claimed to need weapons in case of the “tyranny” of government overreach seem awfully quiet now for some reason. Meanwhile, here are Timothy Snyder’s “Twenty Lessons From The Twentieth Century,” from his must-read book, On Tyranny.

If you think ICE agents are justified in disrupting an elementary school graduation to detain parents in front of their traumatized children, we will never see eye to eye on anything.

Like this post if you, like me, hate thirsty posts just looking for likes for no damn reason at all except to feed some weird social media ego. Note: Do not like this post, it's rhetorical and a joke.

Interesting that the administration that claims to dislike it when refugees seek residency *illegally* is arresting refugees in *courts* when the seek immigration legally. MAGAs are just xenophobic white supremacist bigots.

The same people who say Adriana Smith should stay hooked up to machines so a fetus can gestate inside her dead body for 7 months because “it’s a sacrifice a mother would make” can’t fathom a mother crossing the border with her children in hopes of providing a better life for them.

Allow me to address the elephant in the room: The decades-long outsourcing of domestic manufacturing to China was not an insidious Chinese conspiracy for dominance but the greedy strategy of the American ruling class to explode its profit margins by exploiting global inequality.
