The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Just another day in Trumps America...

"Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents. They’ve had their necks kneeled on.
They’ve been held outside in the rain while in their underwear. At least three citizens were pregnant when agents detained them.
One of those women had already had the door of her home blown off while Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem watched."

"About two dozen Americans have said they were held for more than a day without being able to phone lawyers or loved ones."

"Among the citizens detained are nearly 20 children, including two with cancer. That includes four who were held for weeks with their undocumented mother
and without access to the family’s attorney until a congresswoman intervened."

"They broke his window, they pepper sprayed him, they grabbed him, threw him on the floor," his sister told a reporter between sobs.
"We don’t know what to do. We’re just asking to let my brother go. He didn’t do anything wrong. He’s a veteran, disabled citizen. It says it on his car."

Definitely NOT what Fascism looks like!
