Nothing has been done. This escalated every month and will only continue.
They also got this massive budget thanks to the bill that just got passed.
America got exactly what they voted for. Dear Leader promised mass arrests, deportations, and incarceration.
How the hell is it only 83% of Democrats?
Are democrats not Americans? How oddly worded.
Not if Trump gets his way
Doesn’t matter what the polls say, they and Donny could have -100% support and they would still arrest your ass because of a meme you posted or what ethnicity your great great great grandfather was.
The nearly Half of Republicans who AGREED with ICES Actions are the ones whose Spouses and Children have ALSO been Deported and Jailed! Because NOTHING is More Important to a Republican then NOT having to call a 3 Year He or She!
The fuck are these 17% Democrats who are down with tax dollars paying for masked badgeless plainclothes abductions into unmarked vehicles?
welcome to the wolfman constant. always assume any polling data over ~65% is an overwhelming majority and that ~75% or more effectively indicates "everyone with a functioning brain"
then think about that 95% of black women voted against this
Their opinion doesn't count, as long as the big corporations and racist lobbyists are happy, the people's will means nothing.
That's only when the wealthy own both parties...
They don't control the DNC anymore, and trying to make trump do what you already paid him to do is an exercise in futility.
Shit looks bad for everyone right now, including the wealthy.
Which is why the media is pushing people to disengage from politics.
Don't do what billionaires want you to do, it's never in your favor.
They don't control the DNC anymore
This seems more aspirational than based in reality. There are some fringes that have escaped their clutches, but establishment Democrats are still entrenched in the system.

You're not thinking wealthy enough. The system works perfectly for anyone who can afford to donate $1m for a pardon or $5m for citizenship.

Money is definitely afraid of passion, because it can't be bought.

10/10. No notes.
As a non American I'm not sure how you're going to overcome this, if the bill passes the house you've essentially given Trump a loyal private army given the ICE budget and it doesn't look like anyone has the stomach to do what's needed in opposition. Democrats are still attacking Mamdani lol, the system is beyond corrupt.

Some elected politicians with a D by their name are.
And frankly I don't think they'll be in office much longer.
Like, as an American who has been paying attention since the DNC defended Bill lying about getting a BJ from an intern:
This is the most optimistic I've been about the Dem party except for the brief window between Obama winning the 08 election, and then him saying he wouldn't name a DNC chair.
I can go on a big rant with details on why we should be optimistic about the party and the country if you want, but if you're ok with recycling I can link you an old comment.
It's fucking weird to spend this much time defending the DNC, but people need to understand the chair is the DNC. And we've got a really fucking good chair since February, and he is already doing shit.
Do you think there will be a midterm election given all that's happening and the speed this administration is userping power?
Yep.
And if elections are cancelled, I think enough people move on to the next of the four boxes.
Good luck! I personally have a bad feeling but I'm not American, it looks very bad from here.
The felon king is completely unaccountable. I definitely don’t see this going well.
Get used to it. They’re coming after natural born citizens next, and the courts will allow it. Congress will continue to do nothing.
They did do something. They passed the big beautiful bill that has funding for more ice detention centers and expansions.
3 times the budget for the Marines. Crazy
