In every city across America, there are immigrants working alongside cops, for businesses owned by immigrants. ICE makes all of unsafe and anyone not afraid of finding out

In light of Putin's attitude, the future is clear: Give Putin a Peace Prize.
Trump will invade Russia, drag out Putin in chains to be tried as a "really bad person" and we can all start functioning as a Society again.
