Ugh, all I learned in Social Studies class was the three branches of government to assure checks and balances. With that erased, junior high was a waste of time!
Biden would’ve been instantly impeached in a bipartisan vote if he put his face on the freakin’ Department of Justice building

Hard to be documented when they steal them from you.
JUST IN: Judge Provinzino in Minnesota has held a Justice Department attorney in civil contempt for violations of her order requiring the return of a released ICE detainee’s ID documents. He must pay $500 a day until the documents are returned.

THANK you. I keep looking up ‘violent criminal - entry level’ on Indeed and finding nothing!
JD Vance: "What we have consistently said is that we want to deport violent criminals, people who came in under the Biden administration, and get them out of the country so Americans' wages can go up."

If you are confiscating writing materials from imprisoned children because they smuggled out a letter that described the conditions they're living under, you are a literal monster and should be treated accordingly.

My dad drowned when I was small and I don't mind people knowing, but when they go too far and ask details like "How did he drown?" I say "He breathed in too much water" and just look at them to see how uncomfortable they get.

I was just thinking a work id, but if there is an option to make ICE agents show us their birth certificates and passports I'll take it.
Emmer: "Another reform they claim they want is they want ICE agents to identify themselves, to show identification. But they don't want identification for voters in elections. I mean, this stuff is just intellectually inconsistent."

Nope. Forgotten by tomorrow.

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

If they do leave soon, that will mean one more month of countless people sheltering at home, one more month of rent and utilities and food and medical care that needs to be raised. That's millions of dollars of emergency funds just to keep people fed and housed. Do not look away.
