"But they'll take the jobs with them"

A) No they won't. It's expensive as shit to uproot your entire operation, rehire, retrain, and reorganize entire production lines from the ground up, not to mention a gigantic pain in the ass.

B) Even if they do, that will leave a hole in the economy which can be filled by small business and entrepreneurs.

C) Even if it doesn't, trickle down economics is a filthy lie sold to you to keep you complacent. You can do better than a below minimum wage gig economy sidehustle. Demand better from employers.

Tamir Rice is 12 years old. He is playing in a Cleveland park with a toy pellet gun. A caller tells police the gun is “probably fake.” They pull up in a cruiser, don’t stop, don’t speak. Two seconds after arriving, they shoot him dead.

His sister, Tajai, runs to him. They tackle her to the ground.

No charges. No justice.

A child is gone, and the system that killed him still patrols the streets—still armored, still unaccountable.

"This non-ruling will go down in history as one of the most shameful and horrific rulings from the Supreme Court. We’re talking Dred Scott/Plessy v. Ferguson/Korematsu bad. An obviously horrific decision that attacks human rights and basic due process for no reason… and totally without explanation."

On Monday, June 23, ICE's detention level was — on paper at least — at over 140% capacity, since Congress last allocated 41,500 detainee beds for the agency, the figures show.

Since #tRump took power...

America has become a dictatorship,

We are now a borderline 3rd world country.

No more elections will be next,

Then followed by mass slavery.
