"How bad slavery was" is worse. Much worse. Much worse than you think, much worse than you're taught, much worse than museums depict. Worse.

Yes, it's true their proposed policy violates the rights of individuals to protect themselves.
It is ALSO true that this violation of our rights began under Biden and has arguably been ongoing since the Great Unmasking in May 2021.
This issue isn't *only* about vaccines, but NPIs, as well.

"Are you going to mask forever?" 🤡
We use water filters all the time. Masks are just air filters. Not sure why people don't get this. Unless you enjoy inhaling others' ejecta?

The people saying "Americans *are* willing to do the job" - the backbreaking labor migrant workers perform, largely to put food on our tables - should be the first ones out there picking produce in the fields. Put your money where your mouth is, you hypocrites.
FOX: I think American citizens are willing to do the jobs that illegal immigrants are willing to do.
LORI CHAVEZ-DeREMER: Americans *are* willing to do the job. What we have to give them is the opportunity to have those jobs.

Anyone still not believe that ICE is the Gestapo? And again, if we manage to get out of this, PLEASE listen to the people on the left who've been shouting for years that DHS and ICE need to be abolished...and get rid of them.
If the GOP reconciliation bill passes, ICE gets through FY2029:
- $45 billion for detention, on top of the current annual budget of $3.4 billion
- $14.4 billion for transportation and removal, on top of the current annual budget of $750 million
- $8 billion for hiring/retention
- Billions more.

Like with for-profit prisons, which should be abolished, this sort of thing should never be contracted out. If it's important enough - really important enough - to be done, it should be done by government civil servants & institutions. That helps keeps the profit incentive out of the picture.

What the fuck is the point of paying money to a police department if they won’t protect people from hostile masked kidnappers?

I'd like to ask folks who are putting out the badly needed messaging that vaccines are vital to ALSO put out, as part of that same messaging, that masking (ideally with N95s or better) is ALSO vital, especially for COVID, as the vaccines don't provide robust protection. HELP PREVENT INFECTION.

Doctors are stumped over younger people (18 to 44) having strokes. Is it energy drinks? Oral contraceptives? No. It's COVID, folks. It's freaking COVID.

Spring is approaching, and winter is almost over, but it's been an unusually tough season with a surge in viral infections.
Why Are Flu And Other Viral Infection Rates So High This Year?
Flu infections are the highest they’ve been in nearly 30 years, and flu deaths this winter have surpassed COVID deaths. What’s going on?
