And that same immigration department will turn the system of legal immigration, which was already a maze, into a trap.

You can't reform DHS because it was founded on the idea of saving 'the homeland' from hordes of non-white barbarian terrorists

“Many people have said that things like this don’t happen in America. But in many ways the violence exhibited by DHS and federal agents mirrors the tactics used by law enforcement in black and brown communities for decades."

Do any other crocheters do this? I do stitch practice swatches and gauge swatches, but I get hung up making trinket bags from swatches, and I rarely get to the item that I'm practicing and swatching for. 🧶

We have a President who doesn't want to do his job. Republicans only serve the President. In the U.S., there is no Federal Government that protects and serves the people.

I keep thinking about this fact that his last words were are you okay and hers were I'm not mad at you and it feels like a weird coincidence but it's just a reflection of the fact that the people who are coming out to take care of their neighbors are good and the people who are after them are bad
His dying words were asking about the safety of someone next to him

By Saturday afternoon, some Trump admin. personnel had already begun scouring the internet and other resources trying to find information on Alex Pretti, including social media posts, that could tie him to what Team Trump call “extremists,” two sources familiar with the matter tell @zeteo.com

This 12:28p ET post is proven out by the press conference.
DOJ lies.
DHS lies.
ICE lies.

That has been established. Do not repeat their claims as fact. Their claims are arguments or, often, misleading propaganda — when not outright lies.

They are seeking to make a case for their lawlessness (and to please Trump), not seeking to inform.

ICE detained a 5-year-old Minnesota boy coming home from school + took him and his dad to Texas, school officials say. The family has an active asylum case + entered the US at a port of entry.

"They’re taking children. They're not violent criminals. They're little kids," the superintendent told me.

WATCH: Its hard to laugh at what’s happening in the United States, but maybe some laughter mixed with the devastating truth is how we can keep paying attention — and we NEED to pay attention — without losing our minds.

The most batshit part of this is how COMPLETELY OUTRAGEOUS the lies have been.

"Secret police" is often misunderstood to mean a force that operates covertly, with all their operations secret.

But a secret police force's actions are often public. The secret part is hiding their identities, because they're breaking laws to hurt politically disfavored people, and fear reprisals.

I don't have the spoons to read this now, but (for real) Republicans are creepy. I'll gird myself and read this later.
This is another great story from @propublica.org on how the GOP is using state elections to cement permanent power.

Note how adoption is a central part of the story too: Baby harvesting is a means of power
“I’m sure you’re aware of our connections with the Trump Administration,” the North Carolina Republican Party's communications director wrote in an email response to us. “I would strongly suggest dropping this story.”

We didn't. #ICYMI, read the story that he wanted dropped:
