In Pam Bondi's America bakers may refuse to make cakes for gay or trans people, medical pros may refuse to provide women with complete healthcare, military personnel may refuse vaccination ordersβall for "religous" or "conscience" reasonsβbut an Office Depot employee may not refuse to print a flyer.

It's really weird to demand accountability from a NYC mayoral candidate for a deadly NYC shooting rather than the current NYC mayor, an ex-cop who campaigned on a "tough on crime" platform and promptly got indicted for crimes

Local news, y'all.
Put your "Joe-Rogan-of-the-left" money into Local F'in News.
BREAKING: ICE deported a Burmese man who doesnβt speak English to South Sudanβa country heβs not from and on the brink of civil war. He refused to sign English-only papers.
They deported him anywayβwith 11 others. No hearings. No translators. Court order ignored. This is state-sponsored kidnapping.
None of the 278 men sent to CECOT have been returned. Meanwhile their lawyer has been arrested and "disappeared" in El Salvador.

We notice the near total lack of American leaders and media calling this out. That's a big factor in why we cannot trust the US again. No one can.
