Business Insider headline reads: UPS is telling customers that their packages coming to the US are marked for destruction.
About a month ago, the Trump administration got rid of the de minimis exemption, whereby packages valued under $800 could slide in without import duties. Now there's a backlog as the government can't process all of this paperwork, leading to UPS just destroying packages

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base donβt even know thatβs what it stands for.

It's just secularized Evangelicalism and self flagellation.
The mortal world (America) is fallen and sinful (Is irredeemably right wing and reactionary) and I, the righteous and faithful Christian (enlightened Leftist/Socialist/Communist) must repent for my sinful nature for being a part of it.

Post like this and I unfollow and mute. This is erasing centuries of European pogroms and other violence prior to WWII by making America the sin-eater for the entire Western world. I won't have it and I won't let it slide:
