Lost my favorite uncle in the 'sota. He did three tours in theater. Went back even after a girl with blue hair was mean to him at a Dairy Queen. Got taken out by an IEHD on his last patrol.
Q: Can you be specific about how many ICE and CBP agents are currently operating in the state?
HOMAN: 3,000. There's been some rotations. They've been in theater a long time. Day after day, can't eat in restaurants, people spin on you, blowing whistles at you. But my main focus now is draw down

For any elected official who needs to hear this, I impart a lesson learned from the NFL:
When the other team is tired and on the back foot, you don’t call a timeout so they can catch their breath. You grind their fucking face into the dirt until the final whistle blows and you’ve won the game.

A message to the media: stop calling it a "healthcare crisis." Call it the "Republican healthcare crisis." Stop calling it an "immigration debate." Call it "Republican terror and violence." Be accurate. #FundHealthcareStopICE

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

Isn't this message from the EEOC blatantly unconstitutional under Trump DOJ guidance? A nice exhibit for any university challenged over targeted recruitment or the like!
"Are you a white male who has experienced discrimination at work based on your race or sex? You may have a claim..."

The reality is that 2024 was a fundamental test of the moral character of the nation and we failed spectacularly. We’re living with the consequences now. Maybe we improve. I hope so.

I saw that Charlotte re-shared this on her Threads and had to see if it was here too. Definitely worth sharing and emphasizing. Be difficult.
I said this a few months ago, and I'll say it again:
Part of our job as citizens is to make ICE as uncomfortable and frustrated as possible. Not just non-cooperation but actively looking for any way to increase their anxiety.
Make life as difficult as possible for them.

Bipartisan negotiators released a DHS funding bill that does not significantly reduce ICE and CBP’s funding nor rein in the agencies’ abuses of power.
Make no mistake: Any Democrat who votes for this bill is complicit in Trump’s campaign of terror.
Grow a spine and vote no.

It should piss everyone in the U.S. off that a first-year public school teacher averages $45k a year, while a first-year ICE agent averages about $80k and gets a $50k sign-on bonus. We are bankrolling terrorists & bankrupting teachers. This is a systemic values problem, not a budget one.
