I was thinking about this. You'd have to be working in lemon juice.

How was it? I expect at least 150 words.
Oof, rough but very true. They also need people to vote for progressive politics and politicians, so hope you're doing that too OP.
There will never be enough alms for the poor to do more than get them to their next escape, which frankly fuck it, well earned.
I'm with Sabrina on the this one.
Fuck Chuck.
I'm spreading the good news throughout his body as fast as I can.
I am Trump's malignant hernia and I endorse this result.
That would probably get you arrested at best, shot dead at worst. On the spot resistance means the beginnings of civil war. The only way you're successfully stopping the literal kidnappings by ICE that are in progress is with armed resistance. And I say success with a beachload of salt. Because what happens next is probably a war the lay public cannot win.
The way people are resisting though, and it seems really quite inspiring that it's lasted this long without an escalation (i.e. shooting), and that's posting to social media that ICE are coming and where they are, and doing everything they can to disrupt ICE activities with protests and such, wearing silly costumes (which help to reduce anger toward those protesting).
I believe the only militaristic way out of this situation with any chance of "success" is that state leaders order their local militaries to insubordinate and refuse to carry out federal orders including refusing to assist ICE. In the event ICE fire on an American citizen they could even expel ICE, and set up state border control to deny access to any federal troops.
Hopefully, nobody wants to shoot each other and it doesn't result in civil war, but this is the civil war local states have a chance of winning.
The only political solution is that the Republicans insubordinate against Trump, Vance, and everyone else who has clearly violated the constitution and the law. Impeach the lot of them and reassert the power of the house and congress over the executive branch, and the supreme court too. But.... I don't see even a hint of this possibility occurring.
It'd be a miracle if Trump capitulates to the democrats' demands and they can't fold now either or they lose all credibility.
So yeah, fuck me if I can predict how this escalates next. But the way I measure "success" is that this situation returns to some kind of normalcy without mass loss of innocent life.
Forgetting about the potential collateral damage of the current food stamps situation, and the hundreds of thousands of lives uprooted already by ICE... It's also obvious the sociopathic right want to be rid of the externalities of the poor, or those who can't or won't work, and anyone who supports them.
They do of course need young people to work the shitty jobs though, and their own youth don't want to do that work, so, that could be their undoing unless the war propaganda is successful and they succeed at motivating a new militarized working class. Don't want to work in the factories? Off to bootcamp with you. Are you ready to become a citizen? I'm doing my part!
RIP USA the rate things are going. Good luck brothers, sisters and everyone in-between.
That's awesome. More nations need inheritance taxes.
The more Republican infighting the better for American democracy.
