It's working as planned then. A white supremacist government ordering a military invasion of places where non-white people live.

    But this is often one of the police s effective tactics, saving them a great deal of time

    An MLK50 analysis of one day’s worth of arrest records obtained by the news organization found that nearly three quarters of the 51 people arrested Oct. 13 were not charged with a violent crime.

    The task force said it has made 1,744 arrests as of Oct. 29, though it did not specify how many of those were related to violent crime.

    Locking people up in the U.S. for whatever they can make stick, and promising immunity to their secret police. Murdering civilians in international waters for absolutely no reason, which is confirmed by them releasing any survivors instead of detaining them. Destroying the economy, cutting food benefits and healthcare for Americans while building a fucking ballroom, and making 10 of the richest men in the U.S. $7 billion richer in less than 1 year.

    When you put it all together, it almost looks like somebody that really hates America is pulling the strings and trying to destroy our country. But everyone in the White House is such a patriot. Weird.

    Um, that's the entire POINT of this maladministration. Punch down on groups like POC and self-deal as much as possible so the rubes that voted for this shit have a circus to entertain them so they don't know they are getting screwed, too.

    Kept seeing some black folks say they didn't need to support immigrants or worry about ice because they already fought their war and are free men.

    And I say lol. You will never be safe, you are no different than anyone else they see as subhumans.

    We were there during BLM but f everybody back. I hope those folks wake the fuck up before they start being wind chimes for the party they voted for.

    Then make them feel unsafe as well. They're all probably staying in hotels. Find out which ones
