Then jail everyone involved in the deportation for kidnapping. Sure, you can't get Trump - get everyone else. The chilling effect should be immediate.
Literally President Trump has said that, I believe in his first term. Something about how there shouldn't be rules in war, and whatever happens/whoever happens to be in the crossfire, happens.
Actually, yes. Donate what food you can, but I promise they have enough cans of beans, bags of rice, etc to last until Jesus comes. Especially because different areas have different people - one local pantry might just need a little bit of everything, while another one on the north side of your city needs a lot of vegetarian and halal options because of the people it serves in that area. Especially, donating money lets that food bank get things that aren't strictly necessary, but can make life that much more bearable - pastries, cookies, candy, snack foods, etc. Sure, it's not healthy and I can hear you all sighing from here, but imagine this is your sole source of food for the month. Having a package of shelf-stable Little Debbies or whatever can seriously make your day just a little more bearable, instead of going "oh boy beans and rice for the 23rd time this month."
Yeah, this is pretty much it. There's a TON of students who already left, probably closed out everything on this side of the border for them as well - apartment leases, class enrollments, etc. They aren't coming back just because ICE said "we promise it won't happen again", and now all the dumb idiots who weren't paying attention can now point at a soundbite and say "well ICE reversed those because they did them wrong/weren't supposed to, so it's fine". Combine this with the woman who was literally black-bagged off her college campus in full daylight and full view of surveillance cameras by ICE, and I sure as hell wouldn't wanna come back just because the government pinky-swears it won't happen again.
I was about to say, they tried. They have been trying for three years. They've committed a TON more forces than Ukraine, and still haven't made significant progress. The invasion is a military failure on pretty much every level, and it's only the most delusional that think Russia still has any chance of actually pulling off a successful annexation or occupation for any significant length of time.
Yeah, this is "we just want these as staging areas for our next invasion after we rebuild our war fighting capabilities".
Yeah, the thing a lot of Catholics in America don't wanna look at is the fact that we very well might see another schism between American Catholicism and Roman Catholicism within our lifetimes, possibly within a decade. The American church has been drifting REALLY far from the RCC, and not in the good ways.
I welcome Dr Doom as SecDef.
They claim that the various tattoos he had, like that skull and shit, are all various symbols that denote MS13.
Never mind that one of the MOST KNOWN THINGS about MS-13 is that they're famous for tattooing EXACTLY THAT across their entire bodies, flamboyantly.
Recommend growing what you know is safe. The amount of "could kill you" mushrooms in the US is fairly low IIRC, but the amount of "this looks almost identical to an edible species but will make your day/week Not Fun" species is high enough in most places that I wouldn't chance my luck on foraging.
Nope, it'll be vaccines. When you announce that your study will have results by a certain date, you already have an outcome in mind - you're just trying to find a way to retroactively fit data.
I'll also suggest the Pendragon series by DJ MacHale.
Yeah, they chose El Salvador because they've literally abolished due process. It's like Cambodia again - someone accuses you and you're just instantly taken away. You MIGHT get to see a judge after you're imprisoned for a month or two, likely after you've been beaten half to death so you'll confess to anything just to make the pain stop. It's a dressed up version of Duterte's Philippines - we'll kidnap you and let you die, rather than just some death squad rolling up to your door (because that doesn't play well to the media and the other can be dressed up as "law and order").
There's a reason El Salvador is outsourcing and staffing this place with foreign soldiers. Makes it easier to rotate people in and out, makes it easier to keep things hush in-country.
Middle Manager syndrome. There's a lot of people out there who will happily do horrible, terrible things to their fellow humans so long as doing so allows them to exert a little bit of power.
This. To quote my favorite podcaster: mental illness isn't your fault, but it IS your responsibility. Recognizing that you did wrong is an important first step, but you should definitely seek professional help and treatment if able.
Actually no, he doesn't. Don't give the fascists leverage by playing their game - they only believe in the words they say when it's convenient. Trump already tried to counteract sovereign statehood in 2020 by forcing lockdowns to end early.
Even worse now. Remember, that DOGE whistleblower said he got a physical, taped threat on his door, with what appear to be drone photos of him walking his dog.
Imagine having to fight for your parental rights against a dude who has the Literal US President for a friend.
Not even that, that idea is driven, deep down, by seeing autistic people as less than human, or at least a less "valuable" human. Don't mistake it - Moms of Autism types absolutely, deep down, hate their children.
