Anyone else wonder why so many anti-ICE protesters are not at work?

If any of them are getting federal benefits, that needs to end.

Her first ex-husband told the Associated Press that she had been a stay-at-home mom in recent years, but previously worked as a dental assistant and at a credit union.

Stay at home mom? She had a 6-year old, who should have been in school. So why wasn't Renee at work?

I wonder if Renee got any Federal benefits??????
 
Doesn't make much sense. it would cost more to keep them in prison, and if you take away their benefits and they truly need it you're just going to end up with more homeless people on the streets causing problems. I'm not justifying their actions. Troublemakers should get penalized but I don't think that's the way in this case. Also if they have innocent family members who depend on that money it's not fair to penalize them too. That almost sounds like something they would do in a communist country.

Theirs other ways to make people sorry for their actions. And IF it actually was required that they spend some time in prison then they should definitely have their benefits suspended since in prison they are basically taking care of. And again if they have families who depeend on it, then those families should still get some kind of benefits if they qualify.

You are giving the troublemakers a pass. If they can protest ICE, then they are capable of working.

FAFO. If they don't respect Federal law enforcement they should not get any Federal benefits.

"On Learning to Dissect Fetal Pigs​


by Renée Nicole Macklin

i want back my rocking chairs,

solipsist sunsets,

& coastal jungle sounds that are tercets from cicadas and pentameter from the hairy legs of cockroaches.

i’ve donated bibles to thrift stores

(mashed them in plastic trash bags with an acidic himalayan salt lamp—

the post-baptism bibles, the ones plucked from street corners from the meaty hands of zealots, the dumbed-down, easy-to-read, parasitic kind):

remember more the slick rubber smell of high gloss biology textbook pictures; they burned the hairs inside my nostrils,

& salt & ink that rubbed off on my palms.

under clippings of the moon at two forty five AM I study&repeat

ribosome

endoplasmic—

lactic acid

stamen

at the IHOP on the corner of powers and stetson hills—

i repeated & scribbled until it picked its way & stagnated somewhere i can’t point to anymore, maybe my gut—

maybe there in-between my pancreas & large intestine is the piddly brook of my soul.

it’s the ruler by which i reduce all things now; hard-edged & splintering from knowledge that used to sit, a cloth against fevered forehead.

can i let them both be? this fickle faith and this college science that heckles from the back of the classroom

now i can’t believe—

that the bible and qur’an and bhagavad gita are sliding long hairs behind my ear like mom used to & exhaling from their mouths “make room for wonder”

all my understanding dribbles down the chin onto the chest & is summarized as:

life is merely

to ovum and sperm

and where those two meet

and how often and how well

and what dies there."

Given the fact they risk their lives to exercise their 1st A rights they should be given the Medal of Freedom.
 
No. With the proviso that they first be found guilty of an actual crime where a person was injured or free movement of people was impeded. Not that some government employee or agency was inconvenienced.

Innocent until guilty, remember?

We taxpayers are paying ICE to deport criminals. Whenever some asswipe interferes with ICE they are helping criminals.

They need to be deterred from interfering with ICE.
 
Anyone that uses a vehicle as a weapon should be banned from driving any vehicles. In some cases, they should be banned from even riding in a vehicle.
