The NYT says Democratic proposals for reforming ICE are “facing blowback.”
But blowback from who? Not the people! Polls show support for most reforms exceeds 60%, with some ideas reaching as high as 94% of the public!

I explained transness to my then 6 year old daughter when I came out. Gay was comparatively easy.
always so funny to me when people are like “how am I supposed to explain Gay to my kids?” my kid asks me way harder shit all the time. “why did they build the road this way? why are some people bad?” I don’t know. please ask me about Gay

Not ICE's job
Pou says her New Jersey district is hosting World Cup matches in June-July. She asks Lyons to commit to pausing ICE operations at FIFA games.
That's a big no from Lyons. 3 times.
ICE is "dedicated to ensuring everyone that visits the facilites will have a safe and secure event."

Amber Glenn won Olympic gold on Sunday. That same day, she left social media because of death threats. Her offense: she'd told reporters the queer community is going through "a hard time." The headline called it "backlash." www.readtpa.com/p/the-thresh...

The right used to attack athletes who protested. Now they attack athletes who express feelings at all.

“god bless America” meaning the continents of North and South America is going to give the worst people alive a collective aneurysm :)
