“It was not Hitler or Himmler who abducted me, beat me, shot my family. It was the shoemaker, the milkman, the neighbour, who received a uniform and then believed they were the master race.”

“you can’t hate ICE agents for wanting a fat paycheck” ah yes. people who are willing to disregard all morals for cash. congratulations you played right into their hands you uneducated piece of shit

[tomhoppusdelonge]

you couldn’t pay me an amount even feasible to do this evil shit. you are lower than dirt

[korrasera]

This. You can and should judge people for working for ICE, they're people who willingly signed up for an American secret police force that's violating the rights of people constantly in order to act as enforcers of a fascist government.

[msaprildaniels]

Basically everyone is not an ICE agent. Like, virtually all of us, the entire population, are not ICE agents. No matter how steep our bills are, very nearly every single American is not an ICE agent.

We can, and should, judge them forever. It should be the sort of thing their grandkids are ashamed to discover. The sort of thing that hamstrings a career forever. "What were you doing in 2025-26? Oh, you were with ICE? Thank you for your time, get out right now."

They should all be judged and shunned for the rest of their lives.

The funniest thing I've learned in the last day is that the "$50K bonus" only pays out after 5 years of service.

Like, lmao, you thought Trump was gonna give you a big chunk of cash? Silly.

[dances-with-chaos]

I wonder what the actual pay is, and whether that additional 10K a year makes it a livable wage.

[vaspider]

99% of them will never get that money regardless bc agents are washing out and quitting faster than they can handwave more through because, well...

Also, there's nothing preventing a massive layoff in 4 1/2 years. It's not like we have a President who has a history of not paying for shit.

We are nearly 100 days into Trump's second term, and the ineptitude, incompetence, stupidity, and chaos are absolutely staggering. We cannot afford to tune out. That's exactly what he and his regime want. The nation is tottering on the edge of dictatorship. We are no longer Democrats or Republicans. We are either patriots fighting the regime or we are complicit in its tyranny. There is no middle ground.

House Analysis Confirms Corporations Use 'Cover of Inflation to Raise Prices Excessively'

"It is unacceptable that certain companies and industries are engaged in extreme price hikes under the cover of inflation," said Rep. Raja K

A report released Friday by a panel of the U.S. House Committee on Oversight and Reform highlighted how "certain corporations are using the cover of inflation to raise prices excessively, resulting in record profits and profit margins" at the expense of consumers.

"Americans understand this is happening, and they want it to stop."

The analysis—Power and Profiteering: How Certain Industries Hiked Prices and Drove Inflation—was produced by the House Subcommittee on Economic and Consumer Policy, which held a related hearing featuring testimony from economists in September.

And as I also like to always add to the discussion: no one has aborted more babies than god did in Egypt when he killed all the first borns… (if you believe any of that anyway)

Labor deserves so much more meaningful respect.

Capitalism is broken and incapable of fixing itself. The only solution is labor solidarity.

individuals will go into a system like I'm stronger than this system and will change it but no It's literally always the opposite

"I'm gonna join the the military and reform it from the inside" no you aren't. there aren't enough words in the english language to explain just how much you won't be able to do that
