Do not be daunted by the enormity of the world's grief. Do justly now. Love mercy now. Walk humbly now. You are not obligated to complete the work, but neither are you free to abandon it. -- Pirkei Avot

They didn’t just deport him—they sent him to CECOT in El Salvador.

No charges. No record. Just a suspicion.

NY-17 Rep. Mike Lawler had a local social worker physically dragged out of his town hall Sunday night.
Emily Feiner was singled out by private security, lifted out of her seat, as the crowd chanted “let her stay” and “shame, shame.”
She’s a constituent.
Not a threat.
Fascism again.

So the oligarchs break our country by taking all the wealth, leave the majority in the "working poor" category; then they get their fascist elected on the platform that the country doesn't work, just look at how broke you are -- all so they can steal the rest. Smdh.

If you really wanted to bring industry back to the US, you'd expand on the CHIPS, Build Back Better and Infrastructure bills. You'd ENABLE industry to build the INFRASTRUCTURE needed to grow here (perhaps w/ strategic tarrifs) vs just cutting off imports in the hopes industry will HAVE to grow here.
