Sorry to be Radical Left but I don't think we should put people who haven't committed a crime, and aren't even accused of committing a crime, into any sort of "Detention"

Fuck these guys. They can’t erase history.

Also, abolish ICE and DHS. Impeach all the bastards.

GOLDMAN: Do you know what other regimes in the 20th century required similar proof of citizenship?

LYONS: Various nefarious regimes did that

GOLDMAN: Is Nazi Germany one?

Todd Lyons in his opening statement is painting ICE officers as victims and did not mention the American citizens who have been shot and murdered in the street. Not a word of sympathy or regret whatsoever Evil.
Todd Lyons, Trump's ICE chief, is testifying this morning in a House hearing.

Lyons will say in his opening remarks that ICE is somehow the victim of ICE's reign of terror and violence in Minnesota, not the immigrants too traumatized to go outside or the American citizens ICE/CBP have killed.

fwiw Americans are very bad at understanding that the 2 things you're not supposed to discuss - politics and religion - infuse literally everything that the country has done, is doing, and will do

it's the water we swim in, which is why we don't see it

The FBI actively threatening Republicans in Congress saying that it will criminalize their staffers seems like something that should be front page news.

If your loved one has been detained, call the Siembra NC Hotline at (336) 543-0353
Tural Atakishiyev had never been arrested. He had attended every required check-in. He had asked for asylum because of documented persecution of gay people in his home country. But Tural was still detained at a regular appointment to check in with ICE in January.

IDK who needs to hear this (Ok, I do, but I'm being diplomatic) but you cannot simply report what DHS says as fact in 2026 without looking into it

NEW: Of all the states that voted for Harris over Trump in 2024, there's only one where a Dem governor is overseeing an ICE's 287(g) program:

Massachusetts.

Other blue states have quit, or even outright banned it. My colleague on what's happening: boltsmag.org/massachusett...
Inside ICE’s Only Contract with a Blue State - Bolts
As part of a 287(g) contract between state officials and ICE, Massachusetts continues to release prisoners into deportation—even as state lawmakers look to ban other forms of ICE collaboration.

Another classic post-Homan day where around school dismissal time we get a flurry of ICE vehicles all across our neighborhoods. Today one vehicle led an observer to their own home and pointed at it. This is a sick game to them, but we won’t be intimidated and we won’t stop until DHS is abolished.

Don’t forget how they were willing to let blue cities die during the pandemic because they we’re “their people,” according to Kushner. These are vile people who understand nothing about service.

This is part of a pattern that is impeachable: Trump cuts previously appropriated Congressional funds, but only to states led by Democrats (California, Colorado, Illinois and Minnesota).
The Trump administration plans to rescind $600 million in public health funds from four states led by Democrats because it finds the grants “inconsistent with agency priorities,” according to documents reviewed by the NYT

Bad Bunny’s performance began in the plantation, featured broken electric poles, and ended by centering a hemispheric understanding of “América”—among many other things—and some Anglo journalists are like “his performance wasn’t political.”

This is why we need to be telling our stories.

The hockey thing isn’t even the rough patch here. It’s that he seems to be hinting at “taking” half of a bridge that doesn’t belong to us.
Trump, in the middle of his latest unhinged Truth Social screed, claims that if Canada makes a trade deal with China, "the first thing China will do is terminate ALL Ice Hockey being played in Canada, and permanently eliminate The Stanley Cup."
