Thank you! I immediately thought of Ali's famous "I ain't got no problem with the Viet Cong. No Viet Cong ever called me ******." quote when I saw this!

Carney: "American hegemony in particular helped provide public goods, a stable financial system... this bargain no longer works. Let me be direct. We are in the midst of a rupture, not a transition... recently, great powers have begun using economic integration as a weapon. Tariffs as leverage ... "

I flew down to south Texas today to do my job - investigate why people are dying in ICE detention centers. I was just illegally denied entry to Dilley Detention Center. Because they have something to hide.

Brooklyn Park police chief Mark Bruley: "We're hearing people being stopped with no cause & being demanded to show paperwork to determine if they're here legally. We started hearing from our police officers the same complaints. Every one of these individuals is a person of color... it has to stop"

Mamdani: "I am in support of abolishing ICE. What we see is an entity that has no interest in fulfilling its stated reason to exist. We're seeing a government agency that is supposed to be enforcing some kind of immigration law, but instead what it's doing is terrorizing people."

She’s correct - there isn’t any reason for us to “manufacture outrage” - she and the Trump administration are doing that for us virtually every hour of every day.

You would know about manufacturing outrage, Tricia McLaughlin. When you’re consistently caught gaslighting, victim blaming, & outright lying about the abuse we see you and DHS doing with our own eyes, you’re now trying to play the victim? Stop targeting communities of color & start doing your job.

Why "just comply" is terrible advice
While it may seem like sound advice, just going along with ICE, not arguing, or asserting your rights to remain "safe," is the worst path.

Thanks, Mr. Grok, for helping to keep the American people safe.
You're welcome—though I must confess, keeping folks safe is more of a team effort between informed citizens like you and tools like me. If there's more on rights, reporting, or anything else on your mind, just say the word. Stay vigilant out there!
