If you want to know what is coming, look at how the government has treated Native peoplea.
Also, Trump has talked about Chicago for weeks. What took Illinois so long?

I want to believe it. But I do have difficulties.

And thanks for correcting that person.
If the government insists that only residents with correct papers can use ERs, it should refund all undocumented immigrants who paid taxes.
03.10.2025 19:39 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Wait - so non-citizens are under the jurisdiction of the United States, even if they are only here temporarily?

Actually, I always ask my doctors if they are illegal aliens. Don't touch me if you are.
If we had a draft, using the military to topple democracy would be much harder.
"Vietnam" as a political project went to shits because of the draft. Ever since, the army has been used much more freely for political missions.
Dems should support a draft.
If it walks like a duck...
01.10.2025 00:22 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0I wish somebody would have told me that as a foreign student I was not subject to US jurisdiction.
And I reject out of hand the notion that as a green card holder I owed the US any allegiance (that I was under US 'political jurisdiction').
And as a US citizen, I was told the constitution was sacred.
Do you think the world would be better off with somebody who stands against the climate crisis, calls out genocide when they see it, helps local economies, ends the militarization of the police, and supports real democracy? If yes, why not vote for somebody who supports all that?
29.09.2025 12:44 โ ๐ 3 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0I see your point. It's just that people have been told, "after this election we will turn this party around" for thirty years.
So, no.
I vote for people who stand for my values. And if a party does not have a candidate who doea that, too bad.
This "vote for the lesser evil" is how we got here.
