Time to leave Capital One since they merged with Discover and forced new debit cards that don’t work at all merchants. Couldn’t pay for groceries or my water at College Street Music Hall with either Apple Pay or the debit card because the merchant didn’t accept Discover. Genius decision executives.

From the Cato Institute; this one is worth reading. Topline: "nonpublic data from ICE indicate that the government is primarily detaining individuals with no criminal convictions of any kind." Don't let their lies dominate the narrative. www.cato.org/blog/65-peop...

65 Percent of People Taken by ICE Had No Convictions, 93 Percent No Violent Convictions
ICE’s deportation agenda is not what is being advertised to the American public. ICE is not interested in prioritizing public safety, yet it constantly pretends that anyone who objects to its tactics ...

"The left went too far" in contemporary U.S. politics is almost always a lie and a very convenient way to rationalize moral failure. For example, "MeToo went too far" replaces "I do not care about sexual violence or its victims and I don't want to have to even feel bad about that"
