I know it's cringe to be like "we are going to win" but when you have career DOJ prosecutors flipping sides and being like "I quit two weeks ago and I'm ready to burn this bitch to the ground" I don't know what else to say

Something the Still Mad About MeToo people seem to have forgotten is that MeToo part 1 was at least partially a response to Trump’s disgusting behavior, and we are now in Trump 2, and the behavior under discussion is even worse, so guess what everybody

Videos that have made me teary eyed recently: people watching the halftime show and screaming when their country is mentioned; American athletes, especially male ones, telling the truth about ICE / CBP at a global microphone. Striking that seeing men is striking, but you to like to see it.

The Trump family built a crypto machine that converts presidential power into billions in cash for insiders.

It's an orgy of self-dealing and corruption at a scale so massive it will need to break the nation to evade accountability.

THEY ARE BUYING UP WAREHOUSES TO HOLD HUMAN BEINGS IN DETENTION INDEFINITELY.

I feel crazy at how everyone is acting like this is normal. These are concentration camps being built right before our eyes. These buildings are not meant to house human beings. People will be caged like cattle and die.

Like 75% of the US Olympic curlers are from Minnesota. A lot of them curl out of two clubs in Saint Paul, one club is in Frogtown, a neighborhood that has been very heavily targeted by ICE. These curlers are good neighbors.
US Olympic Curling Team member speaks out against ICE:

"I'm proud to represent Team USA. But we'd be remiss if we didn't mention what's going on in Minnesota and what a tough time it's been. What's happening is wrong. There's no shades of gray."

This is why domestic "shuffle" flights between ICE detention centers have skyrocketed, much moreso than ICE deportation flights.

When you are moved to a different jurisdiction, you have to refile your habeas petition all over again. They want to wear people down so they'll give up on their cases.
