When I came across the meme here, I thought it was a joke. Does somebody seriously believe that there are “anti-ICE rioters” that they’re doing damage to our cities?
Chewing on this further, I suppose that the most gullible members of the Fox News crowd may buy this. My mom once told my brother and me that undocumented people in sanctuary cities could commit rape and murder, and the police weren’t allowed to arrest them. We told her that she would do well to look up the term “sanctuary city,” aka “safe city,” so named because these cities normally have less crime than their counterparts, since immigrants feel safe speaking to and cooperating with law enforcement personnel.
Police chiefs in large cities prefer this arrangement, as their duty is keeping people safe by reducing crime, not deporting harmless and law-abiding immigrants.
It’s weird that no one talks about this anymore (did we talk about it at all?), but how likely is it that the assassination attempt against Donald Trump in which he was supposedly hit in the ear by a round from an AR-15 didn’t leave a scar? Not even a scratch?
Why can’t some teenage cub reporter follow this down and show that the likelihood of this actually happening is like rolling a six on a die 1000 times in a row?
According to Trump’s head of Homeland Security, we, the American people, have two choices: stay silent against ICE agents’ grossly illegal and sometimes lethal violence against innocent people, or face “more bloodshed.”
This is what fascism looks like.
Yet, too many Americans are children or grandchildren of our brave ancestors who risked (or gave) their lives to defeat Hitler. I’m betting against Trump and the despicable people he’s nominated to top positions in his administration.
While human civilization is far from perfect, most of the world’s people are kind and decent. Sure, there are rogue countries led by the most horrific dictators imaginable, yet all but one of the developed nations on Earth support their citizens with universal healthcare.
Of all the countries that played in the 2026 FIFA World Cup, the United States is the only one that lets its people go through bankruptcies and die of treatable diseases because they can’t afford health insurance.
