Local police officers of America have an opportunity to earn broad trust back across political demographics if they begin protecting their communities from this ICE Gestapo. They’re trespassing, breaking and entering, and kidnapping our neighbors off the street. Uphold your oaths!

Oh, the hypocrisy! Oh, the gaslighting!

The Discover page of Bluesky is just American and Canadian shitlibs and unhinged “leftists”. The most annoying, too online, Nextdoor.com mfers that exist. This place had the potential to be what Twitter was before and instead has turned into Facebook for lefty boomers and zoomers. Blows.

Farm workers will be replaced by MEDICAID RECIPIENTS in these people's sick fantasies.
Brooke Rollins on farm laborers: "There will be no amnesty. The mass deportations continue, but in a strategic way. And we move the workforce toward automation and 100% American participation, which with 34 million able-bodied on Medicaid we should be able to do fairly quickly."
