But do you condemn MS-13?

but do you condemn israel? do you condemn trump? do you condemn whatever you want because I know the goal here isn't to have a discussion but to derail what's being said to turn the focus to your made up agenda?

No idea what you're saying, I was just mocking the "do you condemn Hamas" stuff that dominated the Gaza discourse.

It's been 9 years of people telling those of us who have said "it's gonna be worse than you think" that we're wrong and are just being alarmist and not helping... and we've been right at every turn. There is zero reason to expect that to change.

I think there's legitimately no action he could take against homeless people that wouldn't find support among most Democratic politicians and media institutions, which is incredibly frightening.

I expect we'll get a handful of stores when an American citizen "accidentally" gets caught up in Trump's mass deportation machine, but no one will face any actual consequences

that's already happened, and people already lost interest

Prison reporting is probably a good barometer. In terms of average years of life lost of a given population, the effect of the US prison system on Black folks, poor folks, vulnerable folks, the numbers are pretty horrific.
