Painting barbies is brutal? What about the juvenile cobalt miners you enslave and support? Oh… right. They’re in Africa. Plus highlighting their plight doesn’t serve any short-term political agenda. Mine away, children.

My guess is that you’ve never done a day of brutal work in your life.

Isn’t that all of them? No offense, but I’ve been doing combat sports for years and I was in the infantry. I’ve never encountered a Jewish person in those worlds. If you choose to live in cities and spend your life indoors, neurosis, weakness, and impotence will be your lot.

If having the best lives on the planet precluded radical political and economic shifts the entire progressive project after about 1940 would have been superfluous and void.
Progressives really believe we had the best lives? While trying to dismantle institutions and decolonize everything? 🤔

I think we already do. What about Oprah Winfrey?

So why should local and private actors be bled and weakened and obstructed to siphon resources to FEMA? To protect federal jobs? If these workers were brave or effective they would have our support but responders know: they’re a disaster.

Good news! FEMA has been completely incapable of addressing recent storms and disasters. It’s wrong to tax people and not provide effective services. Katrina, Maui, NC, Andrew, the LA Fires… ALL organizational disasters. In every one of those cases FEMA was overshadowed by local/private efforts.

Stfu. 80% of combat veterans in this country support Trump. You’ve never done a damn thing for us. Stop using us as political ammunition… parasite.

Dodd seems interesting but public radio needs to go: doesn’t reflect the beliefs of most Americans. If you want to pay for the content, pay! (Listeners tend to be relatively wealthy anyway). Don’t tax me and other working class folx to produce content we hate.

The Trump administration has now deported thousands of migrants who had been arrested for serious crimes. Obama deported more than 200,000 during his tenure. We’re talking about millions of people. OF COURSE there are going to be thousands of criminals. That claim is basically undeniable.

They can’t make their goal because certain cities are refusing to share intel with ICE, meaning all migrants convicted of rape, assault, murder, etc. will be released back onto the street instead of deported. It is wildly unpopular, because it has led to the rape and murder of hundreds of citizens.

It’s an estimate. It’s impossible to count illegal immigration, but AT LEAST 10 million were individually counted during the Biden administration (a record) & there are certainly more. And the vast majority of nonwhite people in border counties also want border security. That entails deportations.

That’s a shame but it’s impossible to reverse a wave of 15 million criminal acts and thousands of foreign violent offenders without some risk and error. It sounds like the system ultimately worked exactly as intended 👍🏼

Dear leftists: Michel Foucault was a sadistic pedophile. You can thank a rapist of children for authoring all of your most cherished ideas.

They might if voters demanded. I see no evidence of that. It sounds like a lot of extra work to satisfy people who are already determined to be critical.
I’ll put it like this: for many students NO policy change could worsen education. COVID lockdowns cratered our metrics, and they’ve not recovered

This relates to your post:

So his parents were in the country illegally. Should laws not be enforced? What about the hundreds of US citizens killed my migrants? The billions spent in cities?
Every policy has victims. Laws should either be enforced, or repealed. They have hospitals in Mexico.

All of those deficiencies added up don’t even come close to the costs of housing, feeding, and policing millions of illegal immigrants. THAT is the baseline against which Trump is measured. Remember Joe Biden’s acts as president? Yeah. Me neither.
