People in New Orleans and Jefferson Parish are not playing with ICE goons. People in Louisiana are different; they will fight for their rights and protect their family and friends.

842,000 Americans died from overdoses in the last 25 years, 500,000 from opioids. If we’re hunting narco-terrorists we can probably stop blowing up fishing boats and start blowing up boardrooms.

Billionaires receive the obscene volumes of money not though hard work but through ill-gotten methods. It’s time for the government to claw back the lion’s share of the wealth of billionaires by raising taxes significantly.
Billie Eilish asked an important question: "If you’re a billionaire, why are you a billionaire?"
There are FIVE ways to accumulate a billion dollars:
1) Profiting from a monopoly
2) Insider-trading
3) Political payoffs
4) Fraud
5) Inheritance
Billionaires are the result of a failed system.

Interfering with ICE isn't interfering with law enforcement. Law enforcement involves warrants- knowing who you're picking up for god's sake, due process- reading of your rights, phone calls, lawyers... appropriate use of force, and are legally accountable for their actions. Not ICE! Interfere away!
