So true. People who believe this are used to white privilege allowing them to "convince" the cops of their innocence. They can't even imagine having to use civil liberties to defend themselves. "It'd never happen" they think, which makes them unlikely to defend the constitution for self or other.

The trump regime wants to build an ICE detention camp in Gilroy, CA. We already know that confining people without due process based on their nation of origin or their ethnicity/race is wrong!! This is the WWII concentration camp at Amache, CO which held my dad as a California public h.s. student.

People who excuse trump for everything/anything: "well, boys will be boys," or "grifters will be grifters," or "pedophiles will be pedophiles." As if trump is in a class by himself and can't be held accountable to social, political, and moral norms. We're supposed to laugh it off. No thanks.

On the right, three masked, helmeted goons labeled ICE, one spraying pepper spray at the man, woman, and child, one holding a long gun, and one kneeling atop a man face down in the snow in his underwear.
