Something their base conveniently forgets…. Patriot act is an absolute travesty of our time.

Land of the free…….. time and time again we are presented proof that Americans don’t actually have the rights they think they do.

Would be nice if bankers faced similar repercussions for things like laundering money for cartels.

Reply to comment by [deleted] in Colorado to stop busing migrants after pleas from NYC and Chicago mayors by callingforduty
Why the public campaign of welcoming more people who aren’t even citizens then? It’s pretty rich blaming Colorado for people wanting to come to your state. Just as rich blaming border states who are truly overwhelmed and have been for years. Those states should stop welcoming these people into the country if they’re just going to ignore them once they’re here and leave them stranded in places they don’t want to stay in. That’s like inviting a homeless person to live in your house and then convincing the bus driver not to bring them.

What’s ridiculous is state’s and cities publicly advertising themselves as sanctuaries that will shelter and support illegal immigrants and then working out deals with other states to stop immigrants from getting to the self proclaimed sanctuaries. Not fair? It’s not fair to turn your back on the people you welcomed and promised to protect.
Yes border security is a federal responsibility, border states have been calling this out for years while sanctuary states and cities have promised to undermine border protections by sheltering people violating the U.S. border laws.
Also, we consider what Texas and Florida did to be human trafficking, isn’t preventing them from going where they want kidnapping?

As you can see you’re the only comment here who isn’t placing all the blame on the racist white republicans. It’s always weird when people totally ignore the locals running the cities that these things happen in. Republicans are trash but using them as scapegoats to excuse the incompetence and corruption and the root cause of a matter doesn’t help the local black community who are the victims of the corrupt scumbags making the decisions. See this happening over and over again. People seem not to know you can fight racism, support minorities, and hold leaders accountable even if they themselves are minorities. This ideology of treating each group identity as though they are homogenous is itself racist.

Something a psychologist said that had a similar impact on me is: life isn’t the way it should be, it’s the way it is. Not sure if she was quoting someone but it was eye opening to me to truly take that in.

The US government doesn’t like actual journalists. They like propagandists and idiots who can be taken advantage of.

This is like inviting a convicted Chinese spy into your home, openly discussing secrets and then claiming you were spied on. You don’t say?

But that’s the point. Fake news is whatever the government says it is. You claiming they are wrong would be viewed as dangerous disinformation.
