Trump won both times by equating immigrants to savages. That’s proof that racism is killing America. Vote for a racist, get racism. No one elected him for economic reasons. They voted for Trump for: hatred, fascism, racism, sexism and gender discrimination. That's it.

The Trump/Miller position on immigration repression and non-white deportation has two functions: institutionalization of overt racism and stripping immigrants of the possibility remaining legal. They feed off the racism in this country and empowers hate groups. We are governed by sociopaths!

How about wearing this "Keep the immigrants, deport the racists" t-shirt in front of bigots and racists POS? 🤔 👇

100%. So it won't change until all of these people realize that their lives won't improve until they let go of their hateful racism and join together with the rest of us to get rid of these fascists to actually move forward for a better country. No money for jobs, healthcare, education, alternative energy, NOTHING but persecuting anybody and anything that gets in their way. Is there any average person whose life is better for this?

Alan D is trying to be relevant again so he's using the Epstein cover up. It's all so gross

"The most important civic unit (in the US) is the NEIGHBOR". Love this so much. As more people see how ICE policies play out for our neighbors, there's got to be an even greater groundswell against this administration.

Wouldn't it be fun if someone ran Stephen Millers' ancestry and they found "poisoned blood" in his family tree?

Americans have had enough of Dictator Trump’s Gestapo Administration and his Dictatorship Agenda!

Watch what happens as we begin to fight back against those that Miller and Trump have ordered to carry out Orders that Blatantly violate the Constitution!

Americans are saying “No More!”

I believe they will do the suspension of elections due to emergency whatever, because they were all talking for a while a couple months ago about how illegitimate Zelenskyy is because they did that in Ukraine. Projection is their MO. They can't help themselves.

The mounted calvary in MacArthur Park reminded me of the horseback gorillas in the original Planet of the Apes.

Thank you Waj and Allison for finally FINALLY calling this out for what it is. OMG!! I just spend time yelling at the radio (podcasts) and the little main stream media that I watch bc everyone is just WHITEWASHING the immigration roundups, instead of calling it out as RACIAL PROFILING. TY TY.

I hate to be a negative Nancy, but who are these 35 percent of racist people who still think the Trump regime’s immigration practices are ok?! Fuck all of them.

I was a kid in during the Civil Rights era, and my recall is northern white people didn't really get involved until they saw the TV images of dogs attacking and fire hoses spraying U.S. citizens peacefully protesting. I'm wondering what will be the 'biting dog and fire hose' line for people to cross with the ICE attacks on the migrants, legal residents, and U.S. citizens. Or has that line already been crossed?

Alison, excellent point about the COST of litigation. Reading this? Can you afford $5 a month for ACLU ( https://www.aclu.org/ )?

Or another group of litigators who defend ordinary people facing injustice? (that's 98% of us!) (
