semi-regular reminder that ICE was only created in 2003
when you are asked to imagine a world without ICE, you're basically being asked to remember where you were when Lilo & Stitch came out

My guy for clarity
you can get as mad as you want about it but at the end of the day, as you love to say over and over and over and over, you only have 2 choices
what normie liberals need to understand is that 2024 was a rejection of lesser evilism, and their continued support of a lesser evil will result in more of what we're now seeing.
what aspiring d politicians need to understand is we aren't doing lesser evil anymore, so you're gonna have to get good

We're going to see a gobsmackingly low murder rate for 2025, possibly the lowest on record. This of course is great news.
But Trump is going to try to take credit for it. So keep this graph in mind. The steep drop began in 2022.

It would take a two-word amendment to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 to subject ICE agents and other federal law enforcement officers to the same liability for constitutional violations that local and state officers currently face.
If Congress actually cared about what it's seeing, it could pass that overnight.

Breaking NYT:
The Pentagon used a secret aircraft painted to look like a civilian plane in its first boat attack, according to officials briefed on the matter.
The laws of armed conflict forbid combatants from feigning civilian status.
That is a war crime called "perfidy."

I mean they're currently negotiating to raise ICE funding so they don't give the illusion of wanting ICE abolished so I don't know how much clearer it needs to be for these people defending them and continuing to fund and vote for them

A lot of people have strong feelings about what’s happening in Venezuela, but not much grounding in the history or politics. I talked to Geo Maher, who’s written two books on Venezuelan politics, to offer some context.

I think, every so often, about how the student protesters in South Korea figured out there was a finite supply of tear gas, and then staged retreating marches that caused police to burn off most of it, before the big "bring your auntie and kids" marches that ultimately toppled the dictatorship.
