This is all your fault.

And if Trump is elected, it will be your fault. Then you can have even more indiscriminate murdering of Palestinian civilians, plus the gutting of our entire federal government, the end of federal protections for workers, the environment, and protected classes, and a couple more Christian Nationalist Supreme Court justices to further erode your rights.

This election is not like 2012, 2008, 2004, or 2000, when protest votes mattered and happened but both major party candidates respected the rule of law. Hell, I voted for Ralph Nader. This is not the same my friend. Donald Trump must be kept out of office.

I'm voting blue no matter who when the opponent is a Republican every damn time. I also don't support the police actions against protesters, am against the US's ongoing support for Israel, and want the genocide to stop. I'm still voting for Biden and every Democrat up and down my ballot in November. I've got another chance to vote for more progressive candidates when the next primary happens, but until then I've got a ton of progressive candidates in local races on my ballot this November and Biden being in the White House is better in literally every way than Trump being there.

I'm sorry dude I've worked in social services in hospitals and local government for well over a decade now and have no idea what you're talking about, "the nine districts." You're a social worker if you have a social work license and work as a social worker, not if you work at one of "the nine districts," as you cryptically refer to what I can only assume is some portion of the federal government.

I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. I'm a social worker in the US, and there are a ton of jobs available to me, whether that's federal, state, or local government, healthcare, schools, nonprofits, and more. The character of the job depends heavily on the agency and specific department within which you work, and there's an incredibly wide variety. Pay is bad at some jobs and really good at others.

What is "District 7?" And who exactly is abusing their power?

I've only ever seen it applied by liberals to actual tankies who wish Stalin were in charge and think it'd be great if Putin defeated the US. I've seen conservatives and those on the hard-right use the term to paint anyone to the left of Reagan. Never once have I ever seen anyone use the term "tankie" based on someone's support for Palestine.

"Social services" is painting with a broad fucking brush, my man. There are tons of orgs doing fantastic work in social services, it's not all bad.

Edit: What follows here is straight-up aneurysm posting. In conclusion, "social services are like diplomats, except instead of being international, they're top-down." Direct quote lmao

I work in social services and think it's great, and the people around me do great work, whether that was in homeless outreach or hospitals.

It sounds like you're advocating increasing funding so the federal government can house all these people. Or maybe you're advocating we let them have work.permits so they can house themselves, since they're coming here looking for work anyway

The federal government is supposed to handle the migrants

I still don't know what law you're talking about. Most of the people crossing the border are requesting asylum and doing so in compliance with the law

What law does the federal government not follow in this case?

Too bad about the literal fucking law
