Alabama’s homicide rate is more than double New York City’s. Remember that the next time Tommy Tuberville criticizes NYC’s “crime and migrants.”
A remarkable trend that will come as a shock to you if your only info about NYC is from this Fox News.

Isn’t it odd that when a member of an immigrant ethnic group commits a crime, right-wing white guys want to deport the entire group, but when a right-wing white guy commits a crime, the other right-wing white guys don’t volunteer to deport themselves.

If the United States had sensible priorities and taxed billionaires and didn't waste so much money on useless toys for Pete Hegseth to pretend he's a he-man warrior, our country could, instead, have beautiful, clean, high-speed trains like they have in Europe.

I don't disagree with Jeff's point at all, but the fact Miller doesn't think of that is one of the many bits of proof that his problem is with people of color.

This isn't about immigration. It's racism.

The same “like a business” efficiency incentives led the Nazis to abandon retail killing by shooting individuals in favor of wholesale killing by gas chambers.
ICE documents reveal plan to hold 80,000 immigrants in warehouses -

“We need to get better at treating this like a business,” ICE acting director Todd M. Lyons said. The goal is to deport immigrants as efficiently as Amazon moves packages: “Like Prime, but with human beings.”

They moved Maxwell, who is now seeking a commutation, and they gave her a fucking puppy.

And no one has asked Trump to explain why.

I love the music of the 60s but the top 40 charts of 1970s and 71 and even 1972 are really just leftover 1960s stuff
Smoky Robinson, Tears of a Clown? I've always loved Motown. Smoky, Four Tops were my faves. Though before the era of Motown, The Platters did some of my absolute favorite songs. They were brilliant.

America's Sleeping Giant roared when police attacked civil rights marchers.

And after tens of thousands of young Americans were killed in Vietnam.

And when Nixon tried to cover up Watergate.

Today it roars once more — at the tyrant in the Oval Office. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gXHPCL12QIg

One citizen said that federal agents in Idaho pointed guns at her children, ages 6 and 8, and dragged her 14-year-old daughter out of a truck and zip-tied her.

The mother told investigators that an agent threatened to “fucking blow your head off.”

ICE pepper-sprayed this 1-year-old girl.

Once at the hospital, the doctor had to call in a poison control specialist.

They had never seen anyone that young pepper sprayed.

Another horrific story.

For the second year in a row, the wealth gains for the 100 richest Americans exceeded what ALL American households spent on groceries combined.

~$995B for billionaires vs ~$775B in total grocery spending.

We have an oligarchy and inequality problem masquerading as an affordability crisis.
