“They throw gay people off buildings in Iran”

Ok, let’s play your stupid game:

Do you know what’s worse than throwing a person off of a building, for being gay? Dropping a bomb on that building, you psychopaths.

The peace keeper fired 3 bullets, hitting the gunman, as well as a bystander named Arthur Folasa Ah Loo, who has been pronounced dead.

The story is still unfolding, so take the above witness accounting with a grain of salt.

Our hearts go out to the family of the victim.

Conservatives have spent the last 4 years screaming about how we need to protect kids from teachers that are turning them trans, w/out providing a single case of this actually happening- but these same conservatives cant fathom why we’d protest ICE, who are trying to kidnap children from schools.

DO. NOT. REGISTER. FOR. PROTESTS.

If you are going to protest, which I strongly encourage, just go protest. Dont give them your information.

Whether it’s No Kings or the 50511 movement, they have no need for your registration outside of providing it to law enforcement or making money from it.

Immigrants work full time at a higher rate than citizens, and have higher entrepreneurial rates, which make it difficult to complete a process which is inefficient, expensive, and time consuming

If you care about “fixing” the immigration problem, the solution has nothing to do with ICE.
