Let's say, hypothetically, I run a soup kitchen. We get donated goods that are mostly things about to expire, or considered too "imperfect" for sale. That is; things which are perfectly fine to eat, but businesses usually throw out, and will probably be less generous with as the crisis hits.

I can anticipate now that demand will increase on the soup kitchen's services, while simultaneously our inputs decrease....

I guess this may be an intractable problem, really. Other than trying to build new connections in the community, which usually takes a lot of time and energy, there's probably nothing that can be done. But, people on here have given me very thoughtful and clever answers before, so figured I'd ask.

 

I am confused about the sheer volume of seemingly illegal actions these fascists are getting away with. The amount of US citizens unlawfully detained, the warrantless surveillance and raids, the refusal to identify themselves, and the clear pattern of violence though indiscriminate physical assault.

Where are the class action lawsuits?

Why are no Democratic politicians calling for ICE's leadership to be investigated, impeached, imprisoned? Even if Democrats are kinda feckless and racist themselves, surely they're not as stupid as the Republicans and can see the threat that ICE represents to the economy, if nothing else?

I'm just astonished by the absolute dearth of any resistance to these squads of lead-poisoned idiots who don't follow any rules and are seemingly only motivated by a desire to hurt people.

Moreover... I want to believe in rehabilitative justice, and if we ever want to see former ICE agents get treatment and re-enter society as productive upstanding citizens, it would be best to stop them before they're too far gone. Not to make it out like they're the primary victims here, but I do believe what they're doing is actively harming themselves.
