That’s one of the most heartbreaking things I have read in ages. Fuck this.
Companies shut down for employing illegal workers repeatedly and even employing children?
Zero.
(we wouldn't want our chicken baron to make only 10 billion a year, would we? He can't afford any more cuts! Did you know he only owns six cars and ONE raggedy old 2022 jet and some yachts? Did you know his house staff is now less than a DOZEN people to take care of him and his needs like making snacks and cleaning up his pee and stuff? He just pees on the floor so what)
obama gets a lot of flak but he actually put more emphasis on going after employers.
Really? I never heard of him shutting down anybody, but I haven't read absolutely everything on Earth, maybe I missed it.
nah just fines as far as I know but at least he was targeting the right part.
Animals.
I guess he does not look aryan enough :(
It’s fucked up but I thought I read somewhere his son had died because he was detained.
Not sure though. Don’t quote me on it.
Seems pretty clear to me that my country is no longer a beacon of freedom or justice. 2nd amendment resolutions are starting to look necessary.
We will know in November... Or earlier if elections are canceled as I expect.
Or even "family values" for that matter. How the hell can you claim to be focused on families while doing shit like this.
The son had only known his father as his care taker for his entire life. The administration who claims they're locking up "the worst of the worst," had to detain a father (during what he thought would be another normal immigration check in just like he had been complying with for the past 20+ years) who had devoted himself to caring for his son.
The son's condition began to decline almost as soon as his father was detained because nobody else really understood how to care for him. His dying wish was to see his father one last time, and not only did the family first administration deny him that wish, they wouldn't even allow the father to be temporarily released to attend his funeral.
This country has never been a beacon of freedom and justice unless you are white.
It was built on the graves of those promised freedom and justice.
Clovis people represent.
Dude.
You dumb cunts elected Trump twice.
Your country hasn't been a beacon of freedom for nearly ten years.
its funny because I was working with this british guy and when brexit happened I was like ha ha and then we voted in trump and he was like ha ha but I was like. Well that at least will only last four years. I so wish this was just a funny thing.
I doubt most people on Lemmy voted for Trump. I certainly didn’t. I believe the dumb cunts you are looking for are over on X.

A third voted for him. One third. Another third didn’t like either choice and didn’t vote. The final third bit the bullet and voted for Harris.
this is pretty much the way I see it as well. obviously not exactly. Half of the third who voted for him are complete idiots (I thought he would only go after cirminals types)
A good chunk of that third are black and latino voters. That fact alone is fuckin’ wild to me.
And a bunch of the votes in the first third are suspect. I mean, Trump admitted multiple times on camera that they were rigged
Yes, me, the dumb cunt that has voted in every election for progressive leaders. My apologies to my fellow Americans for electing Trump.
With the way our election system works, not voting for Harris was the same as voting for Trump.
Well, I guess I should've said I voted as progressive as possible within the confines of our election system. Doesn't roll off the tongue quite as well haha.
Ranked choice elections are, like, right there. Frustrating that we can't have them.
Given the current 'success' of protests against Trump Inc. I highly doubt there will be a point in the near future were enough Americans can be mobilized to actually achieve something even if the elections are skipped... they'll come for the active opposition leads (identifiable by the stock pile of data they process) first framing them as terrorists. The remains will have to wait till this admin as inevitably turned the whole country so shitty a majority is actually ready to leave their comfort zone.
Currently protest are as effective as 'strongly worded letters' as both rely on the addressee to actually give a fuck about the sender.
I know I'm being pessimistic here, and God knows I hope I'm wrong... but the last few months, watching the “land of the free, home of the brave” turn into a hyper-corrupt dictatorship without any significant resistance, have made me very sober.
Freedom is something that is rarely thought about, but it's deeply missed as soon as it's gone, and by then it's too late.
Now you're a bacon of just ice.
I'll see myself out.
Thank you - you gave me a chuckle!
Don’t worry, they’ll come for the guns…just not their guns.
That kind of treatment builds a really un treatable pain and hate.
It's the Culture of Life(TM)
Very sad. 😔
