Voting NO on the DHS funding bill is the bare minimum.
Backing Kristi Noem’s impeachment is the bare minimum.
Holding law-breaking ICE agents legally accountable is the bare minimum.
ICE is beyond reform. Abolish it.

I had a beagle for 24 hrs. I didn’t understand what it would take to train him. He was perfect: smart, playful, and sweet. I found a man looking for a dog for his son so he brought the boy to meet him and it was instantly clear
he was that kid’s dog.
It never occurred to me to shoot him, Kristi.

Remembering the newspaper pic of lone protestor standing before tanks in Tiananmen Square 1989. Unknown number died in those protests. I was struck dumb by that photo. I have never forgotten how horrified I was.
Now it’s here.
You can’t fix or train empathy. No to ICE and DHS - they’re inhuman.

I kinda like the idea of a “fight” (I mean, does either give warrior vibes?) between Vance and Cruz for the nom in 2028. I mean - who does everyone dislike and cringe at more?
And I chose ‘dislike’ rather than ‘hate.’ I’m a Texan and I dispose Cruz, but does either summon even that much passion?

I despise him and have since the last time he got caught deserting the state that, for some godforsaken reason elected him, when we were going to freeze.
Despite being born in Canada the man cannot handle the cold huh

If you’re trying to make a case - to the world - that you HAVE to take another country’s territory (for a whole host of bullshit reasons covering “my rich friends want it”) you might want to know what the name of that territory is.
BTW my friends have bought me stuff. I never asked for a country

Trump claims NATO has never been there for the US. Can anyone think of an example of NATO being there for the US? Maybe around 24 years ago? Bueller? Bueller?

Dr. King believed our democracy would only make sense when every child was fed, every mind was educated, and every community had dignity and freedom.
That vision is still unfolding. So, on this MLK Day, let us recommit to the work of building the world he dared to imagine.

It became a running joke on the set.
One day the cinematographer was fixing the lighting of an exterior shot of Lynn Redgrave and he bellowed to the crew:
“Can we get some more fill light here? Lynn’s got some woodshadows!”

Frankly that would put me in a good mood too - but I’m not supposed to be running the free world.

This agency is out of control if leadership is no longer checking violations of constitutional rights. Congress absolutely must step in before more people are kidnapped/killed.
A woman recording an ICE agent tells him "Shame on you."
The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?"
"Learned what?" she asks
Then he knocks her phone out of her hand
