hilariously

Arresting American citizens for nothing and bragging about it, I bet the Republicans have a lot of reasons why this is good and why everyone should be happy masked men in the streets will assault you and potentially kill you for the crime of being born here.

That is the main change with the current government. Previously they at least would have faked to be ashamed, now they brag about their incompetence.

2% of US population are in prison. So for 700 my reaction is "only"? Goverment agency with such powers should find at least 7 million people with unpaid parking tickets, unpaid student loans or pending child support... teachers who raped their students... hell, half of US population should be in prison for breaking some law!

Ironically, the wording on this site does a good job of explaining how “aliens” live among us and we didn’t even notice any negative impact or harm from that happening. But MAGA brownshirts will never pick up on that level of nuance. I also think the intended audience of this website doesn’t have the patience or reading ability to wait through that endless scroll of text.

For a second I thought this was a UFO disclosure thing.
