  • Imagine you are a Mexican who comes to the USA every year to work in the fields and pick produce, or to work in a slaughterhouse, or any of the other myriad jobs that Americans won’t do for themselves. Now imagine hearing that brown people are having their work and student visas suddenly cancelled without trial and are being grabbed up and shipped out of the country, again with no trial; Many of being them sent off to a torture prison in El Salvador, even people who are not from El Salvador to begin with.

    How hard are you going to think before coming to this country to work knowing that you could end up on one of those flights to El Salvador and that you’ll never see your family again? I fully expect produce to be rotting in the fields all across the country this year.




  • There are major questions about whether the government has the authority to apply the Alien Enemies Act to gang members outside of a war situation and whether adjudications about gang membership are accurate.

    Come on NBC, this is bullshit. They have no authority because there is no declared war. This is not a question. The law in question states, “in time of war”. This is a fact. Congress has not declared war, therefore this is not wartime. The only question is why the courts and congress are not doing their jobs and putting an end to it.

    More embarrassing for NBC, is the use of the word adjudications in this passage. What adjudications about gang membership? There have been no adjudications stating that any of these people are gang members because they have not been afforded due process and the courts have made no such rulings at all.










  • They’re not too far away, either. Mack Trucks just announced layoffs in one of their production facilities and blamed the tariffs.

    I used to think Fain was a good guy, but now I’m thinking he’s an idiot. That article quotes him from social media saying:

    he UAW supports aggressive tariff action to protect American manufacturing jobs as a good first step to undoing decades of anti-worker trade policy

    and

    Trump’s anti-worker policy at home, including dissolving collective bargaining agreements and gutting the National Labor Relations Board, leaves American workers facing worsening wages and working conditions even while the administration takes aggressive tariff action.

    Tariffs are a big part of the problem you twit! Tariffs will raise prices on manufacturing which will raise prices on cars. That will reduce demand for new cars causing layoffs. This is not rocket science man. Think it through. Tariffs are anti-worker.
