Imagine going from winning a gold medal to having to listen to this imbecile ramble like an incoherent madman do 2+ hours. Even if most of these guys are Trump supporters, I guarantee you none of them were planning on watching the SotU.

đŤ Mexican Cartels Overwhelm Police With Ammunition Made for the U.S. Military
Government doesnât want undocumented immigrants in the country, but they are more than happy to sell non-citizen cartel members high caliber ammunition.
đ§ââď¸ Top Minnesota prosecutor says ICE cases are sidelining âpressing prioritiesâ
Actual criminals are absolutely loving whatâs happening right now. ICE isnât going after the (extremely small population of) undocumented immigrants that are in gangs because those people would actually fight back and have criminal attorneys on retainer and the idiot goons of ICE want nothing to do with that. Instead they go after people with disabilities, children, and people at court houses âdoing it the right wayâ so they can hit their outrageous quotas. Not only that, local police and prosecutors are now jammed up with all of this nonsense and dedicating less time to going after and building cases against actual criminals and fraud.
đď¸ The testimony of Aliya Rahman

Itâs absolutely devastating to watch this. Iâd love to echo the sentiment Iâve seen on social media and say, âhow could anyone watch this and not be devastated?â But Iâve become too jaded. The people doing and celebrating this terrible shit are the people who tortured their pets like Sid from Toy Story as kids. This is exactly what the âanti-wokeâ folks wantâthey want to be able to laugh at people with disabilities after they illegally arrest them without reading them their rights or giving them their phone call.
There is no empathy from these people.
I started thinking, âWhen did this country lose all of its empathy?â But the truth isâand itâs a truth we all knowâthere never was any empathy to begin with in this country, and we continue to show our true colors as a country more and more every day.
We arenât a democracy or a republic; we arenât capitalists or socialists; we live in a corporatocracy, and no action or decision is made based on the will of the people or whatâs good for the peopleâonly what provides corporations the most profits.
Because if America actually cared about peopleâeven just a little bitâthis shit wouldnât happen to anyone, citizen or otherwise. Instead, we are a barbaric, third-world, fascist corporatocracy. And we pray to one god.

â Resist and Unsubscribe
Good list/resource for things you can do around various giant conglomerates who have influence over the administration and/or are enablers of ICE. I think my Apple One subscription is the only place Iâm still subscribedâand I had a lifelong vendetta against FedExâbut Spotify is suspiciously absent from this list⌠While the ad campaign ended at the end of last year, it doesnât sound like it was Spotifyâs choice to stop taking the money from ICE and Ek is still heavily invested in HelsingâŚ
đ§ ICE Agents Will Join Olympics Delegation in Italy. Many Italians are Angry.
Mr. Sala [the Mayor of Milan] added: âBringing to Milan a militia which distinguished itself â this is not my opinion â with criminal acts, which kills, which enters in the homes of American citizens without authorization, I do not think that that is a good idea.â
This is insane. The Olympic Committee and Italian government should ban America from the Olympic Gamesâand other countries should boycott the World Cup in North America (as should the US team). An untrained and unlawful unit of thugs and murderers shouldnât be welcome anywhere. And we know they are untrained because they are hiring people based on six-minute interviews and without background checksânot to mention the evidence we can see with our eyes as they escalate situations and are overly trigger happy.
