On this day, we remember that labor should be entitled to all it creates. But in reality, billionaires pocket the fruits of our labor for themselves. This makes us poorer individually and collectively, as essential needs go unfunded so that the rich can enjoy our riches.

My guess would be because the rest of the world has better public transit? 🤷♂️ So having transit just for schools is weird to them because the normal public transit already accommodates it?

Kristi Noem delayed FEMA’s deployment of search and rescue teams to the Texas floods by more than 72 hours. 3 whole days. So many lives lost. No FEMA support. Our federal government has services that save lives, but Trump gutted them and placed people like Noem in charge. These deaths are on them.

A lot of people seem to think following the U.S. Constitution is optional—like picking which shoes to wear in the morning. It’s not. If you’re within the boundaries of the United States, the Constitution applies to you.

Again, without a trial, you haven't proven that any of these people did any of that. If they have a fair trial and are found guilty of something that is punishable by deportation, great, ship them off. Until then, hands off. It's a slippery slope.
Chris Backus (@chrisbackus.bsky.social) reply parent
Replace the red light with reckless driving then, or DUI, or literally anything. The point is, all people, not just citizens, are guaranteed due process under the law. If they can take due process away from immigrants, they can take it away from you. And Trump literally said that he intends to.
Chris Backus (@chrisbackus.bsky.social) reply parent
Let's say you get a ticket in the mail. A traffic camera says you ran a red light. But you have dash cam footage proving you didn't run the light. Instead of getting a trial so you can prove your innocence, they just keep telling you that it's illegal to run a red light, and then deport you.
Chris Backus (@chrisbackus.bsky.social) reply parent
Again, without a trial how do you prove they don't have that authorization? Also we're deportating people that do have authorization.

Chris Backus (@chrisbackus.bsky.social) reply parent
I'm noticing you skipped over the indictment and conviction part of the thing. You know, the part that proves they committed the crime. Also, everyone, not just citizens, is guaranteed due process in the US. See the 5th and 14th amendments.
