    The entire point of the war on immigration is that ice has much broader authority when it comes to anything within 200 miles of a point of entry and investigating Homeland security threats. This basically covers everyone. You could be investigated for using sites like this one for participating in alleged crimminal activity as long as it’s cross boarder via the internet.

    All of the money they’re taking from other agancies is going towards building these agencies filled with people who are the worst of the worst who have unlimmited access to the largest surveilance apparatus in the world and almost complete immunity to any consequences for their actions.

      almost complete immunity to any consequences for their actions.

      legal immunity.

      Fingers crossed more people wake the fuck up that nobody is coming to step in and save us, we have to do it ourselves.

      We used to know how to fight dictators and fascism, but apparently all we can do now is protest, quietly, in our government mandated protest spot, miles away from anyone who can hear or see us. Anything else just wouldn’t be proper.

      His base is good enough at destroying their own lives, they don’t need help. And besides, you can’t fix ignorance by getting angry at it. The only cure is education.

      Focus your anger on the owning class. The ones who own the media, the health care systems, the means of food production and distribution. Those are the architects who have deceived his useful idiots and are the true source of the problem.

          What’s the plan then? What do you do with the 3rd of your entire country that supports this?

            I think there is something here we can work with.
