“Older people are much less likely to commit crime than the young. They are also much more expensive to lock up.” So much for long sentences, much less lifelong sentences, as crime-reduction measures!

Two 19-year-old Mexican counselors, Silvana Garza Valdez and María Paula Zárate, are the reason nearly 20 young girls at Camp Mystic survived the deadly Texas floods.
As water surged before dawn, they led the girls—some as young as 7—to safety through windows and into raging floodwaters.

And there you have it. ICE didn't target migrant workers in Kristi Noem's farms or Sarah Huckabee Sanders' meatpacking plants because they wanted to create a riot in LA as a pretext to declaring martial law. They don't care about undocumented migrants, they only care about controlling US citizens.

In the end, if we still have history, Chief Justice John Roberts will stand as the greatest villains of our era.
People are asking how to hold John Roberts accountable for making Trump immune.
What needs to happen is every time Trump does something that is likely a crime--like getting kickbacks paid to his personal account--there needs to be someone (like @whitehouse.senate.gov) blaming Roberts.

When the oligarchs’ goal is to further enrich themselves, don’t doubt that everything is on the table to achieve that. The well-being of most Americans is not part of their equation. That’s why public service, govt service, should be for people who want to serve others, not just their own interests.
