ICE shot Marimar Martinez 5 times
They shot & killed Silverio Gonzalez, Keith Porter, Renee Good and Alex Pretti
They kidnapped Liam Ramos & other innocent children
They’ve detained over 4,000 people illegally
The shutdown is well deserved, but ICE should not be paid
They should be abolished

“DHS traps people with serial killer methods” arrives in the news one (1) day after “DHS taunts jailed children with Nazi methods,” for those keeping track
ICE using the same ruse that Ted Bundy used to kidnap people should tell you something.
CCTV footage appears to show DHS agents posing as people having car trouble in order to lure a target out of his house before arresting them. The target comes out and starts helping them before 3 vehicles surround the scene. The car "experiencing" trouble then drives off with them.

Feigning objectivity has broken Thomas Chatterton Williams’ brain. It’s hard to overstate how stupid this is.
The right likes slavery because they think they sit atop a natural hierarchy of races. It’s a basic component of their ideology and has nothing to do with the left.

LLMs do not understand, will not understand, and cannot ever understand information. It's a glorified search engine combined with auto-compete, and you should treat it as such. No matter how much LLM companies try to tell you their machines can think or reason, they cannot and will not.

For those of you who grew up after 9/11, we got along just fine without a Department of Homeland Security for 212 years.
The DHS was formed to try to prevent future terror attacks — now, it is orchestrating them.

Hey remember the shooting in Minneapolis that happened between Renee Good and Alexi Pretti, the guy they claimed was shot by an agent after he had attacked that agent with a shovel? I know it's hard to believe but the agents' story fell apart and charges were dropped. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/12/u...

it's backwards. obama and biden conceded the republican framework of border obsession, sliding right and setting off a near-inevitable push to where we are today. once again the democrats triangulated themselves into becoming republicans, allowing republicans to publicly embrace explicit fascism.

ICE conducts daylight executions of civilians and uses children as bait, they are decades beyond reformable.
This is why there must be a full, independent investigation of every incident that ICE has been involved in. DHS and this administration cannot be trusted to carry out investigations on their own.
And it’s why Democrats are fighting to rein in ICE.

The inversion of electorial responsibilities by American libeerals is extremely bizarre to me. It's a mentality that Democrats cannot fail voters, the voters fail Democrats. If "your guy" didn't win it has nothing to do with the guy and everything to do with a disobedient electorate.
