"We will never accept the presence of the United States Army in our territory," she said she told Trump, drawing applause and supportive chants from the crowd.

"I told him, 'No, President Trump, our territory is inviolable, our sovereignty is inviolable, our sovereignty is not for sale,'" the Mexican leader said.

I'm so sick and fucking tired of "the drug problem" being used over and over and over again to justify anything the government wants.

the US has been fighting a war on drugs to the cost of trillions of dollars over 50 years and what has it led to? massive expansion and militarization of the border at taxpayers expense, non violent drug incarcerations, and more people do drugs today than EVER!

we need to stop letting the propagandists win by nodding along to this 'drugs are America's #1' enemy bullshit. people are on drugs because theyre fucking miserable! they don't have safety nets, homes, communities, support to quit, or meaningful work. enough is enough!

Imagine if that money was spent improving citizens lifes so they were less likely to seek an escape from their miserable lifes. Hell, it was the a CIA that got people hooked on crack. The "war of drugs" was simple a war on "people we dont like".
