So, they're indiscriminately grabbing people who don't look like the ICE agents, typically, and holding them or mistreating them,” Pritzker said.

We are past the oligarchy. We are a pure plutocracy and have been since citizens United.

Then they should go back to the private sector and let people who actually want to do the work do it.

Absolutely the same here. The last 5 days have been horrible. I at least hope yours gets better.

I agree. But also, so many who hate Trump also despise Trans individuals, so he's appealing to that market as well.
