Remember, "turn the other cheek" is NOT "passive acceptance of harm." It means to DENY your enemy a target they could use to treat you as their inferior. Romans could slap people in the face with their palm, but WHICH cheek & palm was vital. 1/2

AFFORDABLE HOUSING RELIES UPON **LANDOWNERS**, NOT IMMIGRANTS!!
It's the landlords who price the rent!
Just like it's HR & the business owners, **not the immigrants**, who decides who gets hired at low wages!
Immigrants aren't stealing ANYTHING from you!
It's the OLIGARCHS who are fooling you!!

It should be noted that many indigenous nationals are still alive...but most of their families were forcefully relocated away from their traditional homelands by colonizers, so...yeah, that's a form of immigration, too. Unfortunately.
We are all immigrants. Unless you came over on the Mayflower. I am an immigrant to Canada having grown up in the US. America was built by immigrants. Some people have forgotten that.

Pretti never pulled out his gun. ICE had already disarmed him.
ICE cannot be reformed. It needs to be disbanded. And everyone, from trump, noem, bondi, bovino, and homan on down to the individual agents who broke the law needs to be held accountable. Nuremberg 2.0 will be very busy.

A major victory. A federal judge has ruled that ICE must stop targeting peaceful protesters and legal observers who are not suspected of any crimes.
