explain to me, very slowly, like the dimwitted child you must think I am, how body cameras or ICE cooperating with cops would have prevented any of the many, many, many law enforcement murders committed by both ICE and cops over the years which were already thoroughly documented on video
Democrats want commonsense reform for ICE:
End the roving patrols and racial profiling.
Take accountability and abide by the same rules as local police.
Masks need to come off, body cameras need to stay on—no secret police in the United States of America.

Glad to see the pushback on payment processors regarding games. But remember, the fight is far from over. There is still an effort to criminalize porn, and hopefully we all know by now that porn can mean anything from OF to books to games to magazine covers.

"The games purge also serves as yet another example of the way payment processors have become weaponized by both governments and activists, since they can serve as a means of suppressing speech without having to resort to more unconstitutional or objectionable methods."
The anti-porn crusade comes for online games
Activists pressure payment processors, who in turn pressure game marketplaces. Now many video games and visual novels are disappearing.

It's funny to see conservatives actually recognize that "gender identity" is a thing when they need it to be.
Every legal push to restrict "gender identity" just ends up reaffirming how arbitrary and subjective "gender" is. Men can't wear dresses!
