The people who didn’t vote last time could easily have EASILY changed the election outcome. Never let people tell you that votes don’t matter.

If your instinct is to think of rape as an understandable consequence of being intoxicated then substitute the word rape with “kicked in the balls”. Well, maybe he wouldn’t have been kicked in the balls if he hadn’t gotten drunk!

I feel certain that people said the same about coal, and probably whale oil before that. With today's technology, we can use electricity to power the vast majority of vehicles and other machines. There have always been people holding us back, but they won't stop technological progress.

We cannot absolve ourselves with “I didn’t vote for this.” The US is a government of the People, by the People, for the People. Whether through ignorance or apathy, We the People collectively allowed ourselves to reach this point. Be prepared to own it.

Star Trek figured this out thirty years ago. It's not hard. Even an old, drunk Klingon got it.
A set of screenshots from DEEP SPACE NINE. An old Klingon throws his arms around Dax and shouts "Curzon, my beloved old friend!" 

Dax returns the hug and says "I'm Jadzia now."

DHS getting basic 4th Amendment law wrong on its official Twitter account. Seems like this post is bound to show up as an exhibit in one of the cases challenging ICE/Border Control enforcement actions.

Law enforcement uses 'reasonable suspicion' to make arrests, as protected under the Fourth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. The Supreme Court has already vindicated us on this position.
A person's immigration status makes them a target for enforcement, not their skin color, race or ethnicity.
