@wdlindsy it does not buy you courage. If $200 billion (or whatever bezos net worth) isn’t “fuck you” money, what is? I wonder if in his mind he justifies it by saying those Trump actions will lead to layoffs since he doesn’t just represent himself but also his companies, but his companies have been going through large layoffs now to shore up share price and he doesn’t seem to care about those affected workers now

❝ And, of course, it could be you, even if you do have papers, indeed even if you are a citizen.@inthehands we only care about humane immigration policies when republicans share their plans or are in power but then forget about it during dem administrations. We then end up in a situation where people are aghast when photos come out of kids in cages during Trump era only to say nothing when it turns out those pics were from Obama’s time

"Donald Trump intensified his politics of nativism and xenophobia on Friday by announcing a sweeping plan to deport Venezuelans he claimed have 'infected' a once-peaceful city in Colorado."@wdlindsy and yet the Biden/harris response is “we deported more people than they did! We actually passed the Republican immigration plan!” I cannot emphasize enough how harmful centrism in America is when it’s call to action is “we’re like republicans but competent!”
