It’s getting worse in San Diego. Many more detentions while people, following the law, check-in with ICE. #StopICE #ProtectDemocracy #FollowTheConstitution #ProtectUsAll

ICE in San Diego has a new policy — detain everyone

The agency increased detentions of people showing up to its offices this week, and officials told one attorney that they plan to detain everyone who comes in.

I have borne witness to the horrific behavior of ICE for months now and I do not understand how humans can be so cruel. Why can’t we be a species that want to take care of each other & the planet. Was Devo correct, de-evolution?

Thanks! We are all trying our best!

Chuck Schumer is the minority leader representing all democrats and the California comments was that we also need to help lead us out of this.

You are still not listening to the people. Let the government shut done. Do not negotiate with the terrorist, yes our current government is a terrorist.

Today I met a young person seeking asylum at immigration court. By themselves, no family, friends, or lawyer. I apologized for our country. They originally entered as a student, fears returning to Iran because they are Buddhist. And, there are even worse governments than here, for now.

Let the government, oh, I mean the authoritarian regime SHUT down. It’s a total shit show and there no reason why it should not be shut down.

Please, please no-no-no to “move to the center”. The center of shit is still shit.

Lori Lipsman @lorihere.bsky.social · 27d

Wasn’t it the realization of lost $&$$
Our ‘More Is Better’ form of capitalism is horrific. Where’s compassionate capitalism, if that’s possible?

Lori Lipsman @lorihere.bsky.social · 27d

And the threat of lost $ really put the pressure on!

Lori Lipsman @lorihere.bsky.social · 28d

What really sucks about our current society, besides capitalism, is how we have lost empathy, and love swimming in the cesspool of hate and division. (Sad face emoji)

Keeping the U.S. government funded now is to participate in the most atrocious misuse of the power of the United States in modern times.

So I for one have decided that the best route is to shut the whole f*cking thing down. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/should-democrats-shut-the-government

Stand up to this authoritarian regime because if you don’t we will not have a democracy. Stop planning on how to stop a shut, stop capitulating and making deals with these people destroying our country. Let the government shut down.

Lori Lipsman @lorihere.bsky.social · Sep 19

The democrats need to stop being held hostage with threats of shutting the government down. Let the republicans shut the government down.
