ICE has no good reason to exist in a civilized society. It is a modernized slave patrol and it is repugnant to behold.
Land the planes. Return our neighbors. Liquidate all funding back to healthcare, food and education, where we the people willed our tax money to go.
Abolish ICE.

letting SNAP expire right before thanksgiving and right as health care premiums skyrocket, on paper, seems like the kind of thing destined to be the downfall of a regime, setting aside that it’s gonna be a very thin christmas for a lot of people because of tariffs

Correct. If the birthdate field contains corrupt or mismatched data, it defaults to 1875-05-20, which serves as a flag. May 20, 1875, is the day the international standards and metrics treaty was signed. Everything is a conspiracy when you don’t know how anything works.
