  • I believe your representatives could do something if people started voting in their best interest.

    Both parties are bought and paid for by the same plutocrats.

    A basic social safety net in a first world country should be the standard

    The United States is a third world shithole that mascarades as first world (see bribes as previously mentioned).

    The general populous in the US is too conservative and resistant to change.

    Mandami shows that to be untrue. The Epstein class has merely kept the political system from ensuring the wellbeing of the population (see bribes above).

    Even if I had cancer and UHC denied to give me healthcare treatment killing the CEO wouldn’t immediately resolve my issues with denials.

    Maybe. Maybe it’ll change the calculation to make it too expensive to deny people care/living wages (See Paper Mario).

    The policies applied are horrible but that doesn’t justify murder.

    Ballot box (watch the games that are already kicking off about this, especially with support from the bribes as previously mentioned)

Immigration and Customs Enforcement has made yet another arrest at a New York City immigration court, despite a May ruling from a federal judge that broadly blocked such detentions.

U.S. District Judge Kevin Castel, a George W. Bush appointee, ruled May 18 that ICE never had the legal justification to make these arrests. His order, which applied to immigration courts in Manhattan, kneecapped the agency’s controversial strategy of detaining people as they arrived for mandatory immigration hearings.

Despite that, ICE has made at least six arrests in Manhattan immigration courts since Castel issued his order. The latest arrest came on Thursday, when agents detained Bronx resident Matar Ndiaye while he was “dutifully attending an immigration court hearing for his asylum claim,” according to court filings.

Contempt charges?

  • Yes but only if the threat is urgent

    The ongoing and systematic denial of life-saving and necessary care to people in favor of profit, especially since those who are contracted to provide care just politically donate bribe their way into setting things up so care is denied isn’t urgent? Seems like fighting the systematic early-extermination of workers has some similarities to the resistance networks that fought the Nazis. Not a 1:1 overlap, but there seem to be similarities.
