    In a poll largely pointing to positive results, this one was a big fucking yikes:

    Denying alleged gang members living in the U.S. illegally the ability to challenge their deportation in court:

    • All U.S. Adults: 50%
    • Hispanic Adults: 55%

    JFC. “Should due process be cancelable on account of alleged ties?” 50% yes. And slightly more among people who are most likely to be alleged.

    People need to get it through their thick skulls that cops at any level are not trustworthy deciders of guilt. The whole reason our system exists with all this process is that the founders knew they’d make false allegations.

      I assume they haven’t seen the rundown on the math that gets people rounded up as “alleged” gang members.

      The copium is strong right now and that’s major/“legacy” media’s fault.

      You’ve called these people racists what else could you possibly do to get it through their thick skulls that this is wrong.
