Linus, Lucy, Huck and Andi keep me on my toes.
Nothing short of abolishing ICE will do. We need to primary all Dems who are pro ICE, starting with Schumer. And make no mistake: anything short of abolishing ICE is pro ICE.

It is. The Jewish Musuem in Prague has a collection of children's drawings from the Terezin ghetto. It was the worst thing I've seen in my life.
“Collection of Handwritten Letters from Children in Detention Center” sounds like an exhibit in the Holocaust Museum.
1/ ProPublica collected handwritten letters in mid-January from children held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken.

Hundreds of kids are still detained.

We’ll let the children’s words speak for themselves. 🧵

Early in his career, William Randolph Hearst famously joked that if his papers kept losing $1 million a year, he'd lose all his money in 60 years. If the Post continues to lose $100 million a year, it will take Jeff Bezos 2000 years to lose his money.

Lizzie covered wildfires for the SF chron before moving to the Post. She has no equal when it comes to reporting lived experience of our collective (real, human induced) boogeymen.

Lizzie wrote the definitive book on the Camp Fire, Paradise: One Town's Struggle to Survive an American Wildfire.

Complicity makes you guilty of causing harm, which makes you equally as unsafe as the abuser. Because you stood by and did nothing when someone told you their story, you required more "proof," because that person hadn't done anything to you.
One of the things making so many men uncomfortable with ✨guilt by association✨ around the Epstein files is the knowledge *they* have about men with whom *they're* associated who hurt women, and about whose behavior they've never, not once, considered doing anything.

Wow.
I know you've heard that a federal judge ordered the release of 5 year old Liam Conejo Arias and his father, and that they're now home.

But did you look at the judge's order?

It's less than 2.5 pages and well worth a minute. "Jesus wept."

"ok, Epstein"
I like it!
I do think the correct response to right-wing arguments going forward is "whatever you say, Epstein"

Yes! I'm so sick of that BS. There were *always* abolitionists. People always knew slavery was wrong. None of this "you have to consider the times."

Also: It isn't giving if it has no impact on you. Engagement is a prerequisite for merit.
when you hear about monarchs marrying their children off at 12 there's always this gloss of "and that's how it was at the time" and i want it to be remembered that we all thought these people were sick freaks

Even if Bovino gets fired, ICE has to go.
Even if Noem is out, ICE has to go.
Even when Trump leaves office, ICE has to go.

As protests grow and ICE's popularity drops, we may see concessions and leadership changes, like Bovino's departure. ICE still has to go.

This.
We have been told for nearly 30 years that America needed to tolerate mass shootings because the broad availability of guns would help us defend ourselves from an overreaching federal government. That day has come. The people who said this are supporting the federal agents. Many have joined them.

Whatever is in the Epstein Files is so explosive that the leaders of the Department of Justice are openly breaking the law every day to keep us from seeing it. (Just a reminder amongst all the other stuff flying around.)

“We will not accept their blood money,” [Lehigh County Executive Josh Siegel] said.
Please enjoy this local news: “Lehigh County Executive Josh Siegel said he is evicting an Immigration and Customs Enforcement unit from a county-owned building where it has occupied an office for about three years but never paid rent…
“We’re going to deport ICE,” Pinsley said at the news conference”
Lehigh County exec says he’s evicting ICE agents from Allentown office, citing 3 years of unpaid rent
Lehigh County Executive Josh Siegel’s announcement to evict the ICE agents came shortly after the county’s financial watchdog revealed the agency owes more than $115,000 in rent.

If you haven't seen this thread yet, you really should read it. A rogue bus driver for Best Bus decided he was going home with a bus full of passengers. Chaos ensues.
I just woke up from a nap and somehow while I was asleep, everyone on the bus has figured out we are not going to the right place

The thing I like particularly about the fact that Isaac Newton invented the catflap is it gives the image of him trying to lay the foundations of classical mechanics but getting distracted by having to let a cat out then in again 40 seconds later and thinking, “Shit, I really need to sort this.”

You can guarantee every politician who talks about the need for a "warrior culture" in the modern world wouldn't last 2 minutes in an actual warrior culture before hiding behind a tree pissing their pants, having delegated all possible warrior tasks to people who are tougher and poorer than them.
