Aryna is from Belarus who has openly opposed the war since 2023, even though it could be dangerous for her family and friends at home. She’s not responsible for where she happened to be born. And Trump is a dangerous lunatic currently endangering lives here & abroad—shall we blame Coco for him? Nah

So the United States will only use empty warehouses to house people it wants to terrorize, not people it wants to shelter from the cold.

If these MFers actually wanted to "protect kids", they would:
Pass gun control
Stop demonizing vaccines
Fund education and healthcare
Punish every single creep in the Epstein files
Censoring the internet does nothing to actually help kids. It only makes them ignorant.

ICE exists to enforce CIVIL immigration law, not CRIMINAL law of any kind. Ergo, there is no legal justification for them:
* to be armed.
* to be masked.
* to kidnap anyone they want when they require judicial warrants to make CIVIL arrests.
* to provide security for the Vice President, ever.

Still hard to believe that there are videos and witnesses to someone shooting a woman in the face three times. Yet the shooter has not been arrested even though the police know who and where he is.

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!
In this time of growing Christian Nationalism, it is important to remember the *real* history of Thanksgiving. The Puritans didn't just come to the New World to flee persecution, they came here so they could be the ones doing the persecution.
