“Why are we creating rules or laws, then not giving people the opportunity to use them?”

In Texas, people who were considered too important to their families and too unthreatening to the nation to be deported, are now low hanging-fruit even if they have Congress-created pathways to legalization.
How Trump's ICE Is Locking Up Longtime Texans with Paths to Legal Status
The case of one Houston man, nearly deported to India after a quarter-century here, shows what happens when prosecutorial discretion is abandoned.

Since when this House term by Johnson ? Yes Dear Leader !
House Oversight hearing on ICE opens with the rules:

"It is also a clear violation of the rules of the House to make statements that might personally be offensive to the President or the Vice President of the United States."

How you do it
I will not support any funding deal that puts money in the hands of Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem, and this violent agency. Defund and abolish ICE now.

Caller to @stephaniemiller.bsky.social reminded everyone of Bill Maher calling djt a son of an orangutan -- ahhhh and there is Michael Cohen little news from 2013 Because we've all known about Trump since then nothing is a surprise www.motherjones.com/2020-electio...
When Donald Trump had to prove he was not the son of an orangutan
This really happened.

This is really important point - control this and being "surprised" lets deal with the big stuff and be ready to act
at some point I think it might be nice if we developed a cultural immunity to treating the random, unimportant outbursts of attention-seeking dullards as news

The Wall Street Journal just illustrated the core argument of my book: a system rigged to reward capital over labor is one in which even full-time work no longer secures the most basic material needs.

This is the economic order that produces the "working homeless."

This is what I say to young people who complain they pay so much and won't get anything when they retire ( which is absolutely NOT true) I say try to find an insurance policy that protects your family in case you die or are disabled - you couldn't afford it and that what SS does for you every day.
Social Security is a whole life protection plan.
You may not know this, but if you're under the age of 60, Social Security is essentially insurance for you.

Ghislaine Maxwell has offered to exonerate Donald Trump in the Epstein case in exchange for clemency. Journalist @carolecadwalla.bsky.social notes this “naked transactionalism” mirrors Jeffrey Epstein’s own business model of running a “global trade in favors” among the rich and powerful.

These are the people that still think Biden should have run again and was "pushed " out
there's a certain type of person who affixes their ego very tightly to a political party in a way that causes what appears to be a very debilitating and painful myopia

Go to your next school board hearing & ask whether this is going on! It's your school board, you elect those people (mayor, sheriff etc) if you don't want them working for ICE and or spying on your child. Let them know and then consider running for the school board where you live-the kids need you
Police departments across the US are quietly leveraging school district security cameras to assist Donald Trump’s mass immigration enforcement campaign, an investigation by @the74.bsky.social reveals.
