No, the money was there after the bootlicker party gutted several assistance and humanitarian programs to boost the the new SS and give yet another break to the rich.
Not only does America have so much money where auditing the Pentagon has enough money to cure a lot of global societal ills, it also has so much it could create a whole second paramilitary. America, I know you’re not at pathetic as you look right now. Every single one of you are being robbed exponentially. You’re enabling them if you’re not actively resisting. It’s killing you, it’s killing everyone around you and it’s damning our species and planet. What are you going to to to y(our) abusers.
The lowest of the low will flock to this like flies to shit. With no ethical concerns and conscience, just caring about the money and therefore doing everything asked of him, no matter how vile, to make sure the system stays as is.
Person discovers police.

Melt ICE
The Nazis did this too. Incredible.
I really feel like Magats are going to be worse than the Nazis. 258,000,000 lives is not achieved easily.
Next thing, most of us in high paying jobs will be required to join the party or face demotion. The stupid red hat will be required to not get any harassment. Latinos will be accosted by Magats and killed on the streets.
Children with disabilities will be sent to institutions and "prevented from reproducing.* Learning disabilities too. Many will face forced sterilization simply for chronic disease.
Fair skinned, Fair Haired, Blue Eyed well to dos like me will be fine. I’ll just lose custody of my son, but be relieved from alimony and child support if I join ICE. You can confiscate my belongings, force me to live in a box before I take that deal.
We’re too spread out to organize nationally. but locally you can protect your neighbors, and if you protect them they will protect you. Remember that, and we might stand a chance.
285 million people? Wait are you saying that is the number of deaths caused by the Nazis? If so, that is way of. They killed a lot but it’s nowhere close to that
No. Nazis caused about 21m deaths The Heritage Foundation founder mentioned an “ideal population of around 100m.” Bondi mentioned back a ways that a fentanyl bust saved 75% of Americans (which ends up being 258m people out of a population of 358m.
With the sheer number of policies designed to increase famine, disease, and political violence, the Heritage Foundation plans to eclipse the Nazi death machine
Ah I see, thats what you mean
Children with disabilities will be sent to institutions and "prevented from reproducing.* Learning disabilities too. Many will face forced sterilization simply for chronic disease.
Oh, so that’s what they meant by making America great again.
Literally. Most people were never taught in schools but Hitler modeled a lot of his ideas on Eugenics directly on American Policy.
A century later and now we are taking our cues from Nazi Germany.
We MUST resist!
Rassenhygiene!
That bonus alone is what I make in an entire year. Meanwhile these people are throwing it around like it’s chump change while saying I’m not allowed to have healthcare.
Bullets are cheap.
They are. But why post a picture of that totally unrelated, innocent, nice dude alongside that comment?
My take: Luigi is obviously innocent, so he represents a resistance to injustice because he’s fighting his case so strong and proudly. That is like a bullet to the face of injustice.
OP probably didn’t mean “shoot rich people randomly” but “organize, resist, make them make us”. If you’re wrongfully arrested for political reasons, think of Luigi Mangione.
Luigi has been through a lot of shit and he doesn’t deserve any of it.
Luigi is losing weight and color and we need to keep supporting him.
He is one of the good guys.
Anyone taking this at face value is a fucking moron, no better than FaceBook boomers. If you upvoted this, you’re a fucking moron.
Fuck yourself
STFU, loser.
Which part do you take issue with?
🦗
I don’t agree with the guy, but it is worth noting that there are around 21k ICE agents, vs 3.8 million teachers.
That extra funding would probably spread a little thin when you’re sharing it with over 100x the number of people.
It’s extremely easy to calculate out. The low end accounting just for personnel in the BBB is 48,500 million dollars per year / 3.8 million teachers results in $12,768/year per teacher.
Now how much is that per year per teacher for the full 75 billion dollars?
I couldn’t source the 48.5 billion for personnel number. I’m seeing a total budget increase for ICE to 30 billion. But still a large number for sure. But that’s total budget, not just personnel.
But look, I agree with the sentiment. I’d rather this money be spent on teachers too. I’m just not convinced that the numbers, as presented in the meme, are meaningful.
This is correct in the literal sense but it misses the spirit of the argument.
They are showing where they are willing to spend money. And it’s not to anything that would actually help people.
This is the way. Call out people who just hurl out insults and claim something is false. Rather than just downvote, make them actually put into words what their stance actually is. Make them hear themselves either become unable to defend their own stances, or expose them for having no stances.
It appears the user is stirring the pot all over lemmy, and has yet to engage in good faith conversation with the question.
Found the ice agent. Sorry you didn’t get paid bro.
Of course. Lies is all they know and greed.
Ot says a lot about a society where bullies make a decent living and some teachers are forced to live in their cars. How is this making America great?
You have to understand that, by “great”, what they mean is “white ethno state.”
That’s why Trump is making an office of remigration https://www.axios.com/2025/05/30/state-department-office-of-remigration-restructure
what they mean is “white ethno state.”
That’s how it starts, at least. Eventually, being white won’t save you if you’re disabled, lgbt, communist, non-christian, etc.
God. I fucking suck, listen to my boot licker orphan crushing machine take but ICE was wildly over budget. Sorta obviously since this fascist ass surge. It wasn’t until the oligarchal gift of the new national budget that ICE started this new wave of hiring CAREER brown shirts. Up until now it’s been deputized prison guards and cops.
I don’t disagree with the meme in the slightest, but just wanted to add context to why this is a huge escalation and a new facet of our nazi hellscape.
Oh and pay the godamn teachers.
POLICE ICE … I feel like this could be someone combined. Maybe POL(ICE)^2
Superscript doesn’t seem to work here :-(
Lemmy’s formatting is slightly different than reddit’s.
Put ^ on both ends of what you want in superscript
Also, you can use ~ instead for subscript
Thanks, changed it in my comment
po-lice, lice a ectoparasitic insect, po short for police.
Paying my military well above any other profession is how I keep my authoritarian regime secured in Tropico as well.
Source? I mean, I know it’s “political memes”, but I like my information to be more than text some internet rando put above a scary picture.
https://www.newsweek.com/ice-agents-salaries-benefits-recruitment-bonuses-big-beautiful-bill-2098015
Salaries are being advertised as between $49,739 and $89,528 per year, with ICE stating that pay can be increased through overtime, as well as location-dependent additions.
Existing agents, along with those with U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), will get a $10,000 yearly bonus for the next four years. New agents will also get signing bonuses, similar to those introduced for Border Patrol officers under the Biden administration.
The new budget also included provisions for additional bonuses, with agents able to receive extra pay for their performance, as well as for their commitment to an additional two years with the agency.
It seems plausible at the very least.
if its on sites like indeeds theres probably going to be review, well see if the job sites astroturfs it though.
