You don't create something that big unless you plan to use it. This has the potential to be worse than most people can even imagine.
I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

The anti-DEI movement is inherently racist and sexist because it assumes as an article of faith that any time a woman or minority gets a position because of an outreach program, they must be less qualified than some hypothetical white man who did not get the job. That's just racist sexist bullshit.

It is possible to abhor the actions of the Netanyahu government in Gaza without being an apologist for Hamas. I'm a Jew and a dyed-in-the-wool Zionist, and I'm appalled at what the current Israeli administration is doing. (1/2)

How's that protest vote working out? I'm waiting for the protest voters to tell me how Kamala would also have announced plans to literally steal Gaza from the people who live there, relocating millions of them to countries that don't want them and turning the land over to her idiot son-in-law.
