When I saw videos of workers installing Alligator Alcatraz street signs I thought it had to be AI. But no, they are that disgusting and tacky.

I think we should refrain from using their catchy marketing and use our own, which is much closer to reality. It's Alligator Auschwitz.

ICE had their budget tripled. Things are going to get much worse. Unless you’re white. And Republican. And rich. And suck up to Trump.

Amazing watching politicians in that country knowingly making the country worse, unless you’re rich. Not hyperbole to say that country is destroying itself. It’s incredible watching this all unfold and nobody doing anything about it. America the Great, eh? Yeah right.

America was never great in my opinion. It's just that instead of harming non-Americans that are non-Caucasian somewhere across the world, they're now hurting Americans, many whom are white. And that's why now, people are outraged.

RIP USA as we know it- Congrats on killing pronouns I guess?

Ngl this is the least optimistic about humanity I've ever felt in my life

The fact that Republicans are more scared of the king taking their job than they are from voters they are supposed to represent sure tells you a lot about what potential solutions people should be looking to...

[Senator Clay Davis]

This was always the point America was going to get to, capitalism is destined to end this way. But it's mostly just humiliating that it's a reality TV star who spray paints himself orange who is the one leading it.

I heard the ICE budget is now THREE TIMES larger than the budget of the Marines.

Trumps personal paramilitary brownshirts have triple the budget of the USMC. What a world.

With this vote, Congress makes ICE the highest-funded federal law enforcement agency in history, with more money per year at its disposal over the next four years than the budgets of the FBI, DEA, ATF, US Marshals, and Bureau of Prisons combined.

Here is the funding for immigration enforcement in the bill, to be spent through September 30, 2029, which includes:
- $74.9 billion for ICE detention and removal
- $65.6 billion for CBP infrastructure, hiring, tech
- $10 billion DHS slush fund
- $3.5 billion for state enforcement

I still have faith. Whenever the pendulum swings too far in one direction, it always comes back around to the other side. The far left simply has to ensure that when it comes back around that they don't go so extreme to provide ammunition to the MAGA base to swing things back.

I think the entire clock will be in ashes before the pendulum swings back the other way.

I'm a pessimist, but sheesh.

[Senator Clay Davis]

Yeah it's pretty goddamn grim right now though. I know we want, to varying degrees, to have hope, but it's also kind of hopeless. I know Trump can be exhausting, but it's looking this bleak only six months in, what'll it be like in six more months?

Yeah it was really just brainwashing and good advertising campaigns.

[Drak]

Tripling ICE’s brown shirt budget, eh? All these Republicans who claim to be Christians are a joke. There are countless passages in their Bible citing how migrants and immigrants are to be treated. And this ain’t it.

In 4 years many of us will be in prison camps.

Yeah, I really would have preferred a pre-NotSure Joe President Camacho at this point.

GOOD!

Now they can afford uniforms, badges, and the paper to fill out applications for judicial warrants.

Yup! People point at citizens of other countries saying they're propagandized while it's American citizens who are the most propagandized by their government and media.

I knew this was the right time to invest in that night-stick manufacturing company!

Hugo Boss probably already has a bid in on a Uniform Contract!
