You can’t deport citizens. Some naturalized citizens can be denaturalized after a felony conviction.

He is describing expulsion, a crime against humanity. It should not be subject to negotiation.

Primary the entire leadership. Get them out of office if they won’t defend our rights.
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) on Thursday said House Democrats will demand a ban on the deportation of American citizens as a condition of winning their support for legislation funding the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

Not a single mayor has control over the police. It’s been that way for a long time. They pretend they do, but cops are going to do whatever they want, and what they want is to side with ICE.

Interesting choice for the DHS to hire a photographer intent on making the artistic statement: "Our government has turned its back on America while heroic young people look unblinkingly into the future."

Watch the full clip. In short, Wolfers says we are not talking about what future generations are going to lose as a consequence of Trump's sabotage of institutions, because our news media is not designed to ask those questions.

He says we need to ask them.
Wolfers: This is the most interventionist government of my lifetime. It’s the least conservative government of my lifetime. When you are the richest country in the world, maybe you are not the ones who should be tearing down your existing institutions. But that’s exactly what this president is doing

There are still approximately 1,000 children who were victims of family separation during the first Trump administration that were never reunited with their families

Currently, DHS has been quietly taking children from their parents AGAIN

It's immoral

Tom Homan should be fired and prosecuted
Homan was the architect of family separation, the biggest immigration enforcement debacle of Trump’s first term. www.mediamatters.org/fox-news/fox...

Since polio vaccines may be considered “optional,” do you enjoy the following? Walking, being warm, having energy, driving normally, sports, travel, functional bowel and bladder, strong bones

If you enjoy any of the above, then polio vaccines are not optional, they’re common sense #polio #vaccines

Polio is once again a public health threat in the United States. Grace is disappointed, though not surprised.

Endangering a child and throwing her into a nudity scene with a non-actor completely unprepared should be a career ender if the town learned anything from MeToo. So naturally, he’s nominated for best director.
Not one Academy voter should vote for Ben Safdie for anything

“Three sources say Josh, who is now vying for this year’s best director Oscar, became aware of the girl’s age on the day of production, shortly after the scene shot, as the traumatized girl spiraled.”
