To understand how horrible Pamela Jo Bondi is, remember she only has her current job as US Attorney General because she took a bribe from Donald Trump when she was Florida's Attorney General to drop an investigation into the obvious consumer fraud perpetrated by his scam called "Trump University."

Trump's big, ugly budget megabill gives ICE more agents than the FBI, more jails than the federal Bureau of Prisons, and a larger budget than most countries' militaries.
Not one more penny for ICE.

I mean, technically everything is optional if you don’t want to participate in modern society. But I see a lot of 18 year olds (at least the ones who survive) having to quickly do all their shots so they can get into college or get certain jobs.

'Why aren't they in the streets' is answered almost every day in my small town by people in the streets! Rather than asking 'why aren't they in the streets' it's worth asking 'why isn't your media showing them in the streets' and 'who is served by downplaying resistane in its myriad forms.'
The idea that there are no protests in the US and no one is standing up to Trump is proving incredibly hard to kill over here in Germany. It’s become dogma, utterly detached from empirical reality.
I wonder if the people who keep talking like that understand they’re perpetuating regime propaganda.

“But what do you expect Democrats to doo-hooo?”
1) Refuse to fund this criminal government anymore.
2) EVERY one of them call to abolish ICE (and bonus, DHS). No more “they need training” shit. Promise prosecutions.
3) EVERY one of them call for Trump’s impeachment, relentlessly, EVERY day.
