Know Your Rights -- EVERY American should carry one of these cards with them at all times and refer to it if ever brought in for questioning by the police, ICE, CBP, FBI, etc.

Good suggestion. What people who are passive about or cheer on what is happening to immigrants now need to understand is that under fascism injustice to one soon becomes injustice to all. Nobody's rights are safe.

Excellent piece you wrote Mark. Very thought provoking. Why can’t we have one day of peace and calm? The world is so very exhausting. Will you be getting into trouble for depicting Elon Musk in your cartoon today?

I gotta do something with Elon. I'm waiting for a microscope so I can appropriately draw such a tiny, little, pipsqueak of a pretend man. Of all of the inadequate, insecure and self-loathing braggarts running the country, little Elon is the littlest boy on the sinking garbage scow of 'Murican Empire.

I have a strong feeling that Elon (if he doesn't shut his mouth) will be dead.

He hasn't yet realised that Trump (the narcissist) doesn't like people who take over his spotlight.

At the same time: Most of the world is shutting out the USA.

Come on Trump institute your Tarrifs (taxes).

When the world looks to China you are nothing.

Thomas you know I support you.

My question is: How many people can they imprison?

I know there are Private prisons all over the USA....are they building more? The rich get richer with these prisons.

US citizens rise up NOW.

New private prisons, COP Cities in all states and internment camps, begun under Biden.

Direct action and solidarity works - see this example from Glasgow, Scotland in 2021

"One demonstrator climbed under the van to stop it from moving, while others nearby stood and sat in the road. Some protesters chanted, “These are our neighbours, let them go.”"

What an inspiring story. Another example of where the real power lies. Read the link and learn.

Thanks Dx!

This not rational policy but state terrorism following low intensity war tactics at home.
