Trump's excuse for blowing up boats is drug enforecement. Now he want to pardon Juan Orland Herandez the former Honduras president from drug charges. Trump's oligarch buddies want the Veneulean oil. This was never about drug enforcement.

This unfortunate event was caused by ICE not following the constitution. They stopped the actress becuase she was brown. That in no way constitues probable cause. The 4th amendment requires probable cause.

Where I live, finding a doctor is becoming increasingly difficult between trying to match what insurance they take with doctors with too many patients. Now The Trump administration want to limit loans to medical students. It is as if they would like us to just die.

These things happen because the GOP SCOTUS said that ICE could stop people for being brown. This is unconstitutional based on the fourth amendment of the constitution (probable cause). The GOP SCOTUS should be impeached for this.
