Politicians endlessly blame immigration for their own failures. So, when immigration is reduced, their ‘success’ isn’t recognised. No one’s life has particularly improved. Because no one’s life was ever going to improve by reducing immigration. Because our problems were never caused by immigration.

Shows how much of democratic views have been lost in US now. The Trump Republicans are responsible for that.

View from part of my morning commute to work. I commute all year-around by bicycle. Some mornings are better than others, this was one of them. Crisp, clear air, birds singing and healthy steady cardio. Real cheap too, spend around 100€/year on tires n' maintenance.

ICE officers getting paid for standing around doing nothing while TSA employees work without pay is a pretty succinct summation of where we're at right now

Barack Obama gave Iran its own money to get American prisoners released. Donald Trump is giving Iran *our* money to get his poll number to rise after he stupidly caused gas prices to go up. Donald only thinks about Donald.

youtube.com/watch?v=eSLs... My take on this; if Thailand is helping China break the embargo and export drones to Russia, then I (as a consumer) can voice my disapproval. I say no to holiday travel to Thailand, no to food products produced in Thailand, no to clothes made in Thailand.

And at the same time they want to force immigrants to take unpaid work, if they want government aid. Without education, immigrants will have an ever harder time finding work. Guess it's this governments way of introducing modern day slavery to Finland.

What’s one way we can rein in ICE? We can start by boycotting ICE’s corporate collaborators that are profiting from the agency’s cruelty. Watch.

WRONG. I-205 administrative warrants are not issued by immigration judges. They’re signed by ICE officers. And EVEN IF THEY WERE issued by an immigration judge - they are executive branch employees, NOT judicial branch. JUDICIAL warrants are needed to enter a home without consent.

“He certainly shouldn’t have been carrying a gun. I don’t like that he had a gun,” Trump says about Alex Pretti. “I don’t fucking care that they have guns, they’re not here to hurt me… Let them in,” Trump said on J6. Get it? 2A is only for those who support him and his tyrannical regime.

The start of my bike ride to work yesterday morning. Around -11C, first morning this year, when the hadn't had time to clear the nights snowfall away. Ride all year 'round, 9th year now. Bike doesn't like anything below -10C, so I store it inside at the mo. Ski gloves, wool clothing and studs.

We had to put up with school shootings because "the 2nd Amendment" But watch ICE eliminate the right to bear arms by executing anyone they find with a gun and to hell with the 2nd Amendment. ICE will soon be killing citizens in their own homes because they're scared there might be a gun inside.

Amazon Web Services hosts massive surveillance systems for both ICE and DHS. Citizens Bank provides nearly $1 trillion in credit & bonds to private prison companies. AT&T has a $147 million contract to provide communications services to DHS. Know who is profiting from ICE’s cruelty.

Boycotts work, companies tend to want more customers so they will close their premises to ICE. Sure, some don't care but it's also a mental thing, wearing ICE agents down, by making sure they feel unwelcome. They can't force a company to provide service to them.

The goal of nonviolent civil resistance is not to convince the regime they're wrong. The goal of #NonviolentCivilResistance is to convince the people to work together to make it impossible for the regime to sustain itself. We aren't nonviolent for the regime. We're nonviolent for each other.

Klobuchar: "Somehow 50,000 peaceful protesters in 10 below weather were able to march without any problems, and then the next day half a dozen ICE and CBP agents couldn't handle a guy with a cell phone taking video of them and shot him. I think it's pretty obvious what's going on here."

As a Finn that horrifies me as much as seeing your police and other agents in military gear, armed to their teeth. BUT - he probably has a right to carry and if it makes those ICE agents hesitate, so be it. The MAGA are all for your 2nd.
