"ICE guys are pretty miserable. I don’t think morale is particularly high for them. They’re freezing, they’re getting shouted at. They can’t go anywhere without being tailed by 5 cars. They get out and immediately there's a crowd of 100 people shouting at them, blowing whistles as loud as they can."

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning.
Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

How men feared women! she thought, walking among the late-flowering roses. Not as individuals, but women when they talked together, worked together, spoke up for one another - then men saw plots, cabals, constraints, traps being laid.

Obviously we shouldn’t be more outraged by Alex Pretti’s murder than any of the other murders & acts of violence ICE has been committing. What his murder does do is show ICE coming ever closer to murdering people that Republicans are supposed to value (white, male, VA staff member, gun owner)

Q: They defied a search warrant this morning. Do you think they'll abide by a federal court order?
FREY: Everybody listen to that question. The question is 'will this administration abide by a court order.' These are the underpinnings of our democracy and Constitution. The answer better be yes.

I don’t think the MAGAs who want civil war have thought this through. The last time our country had a civil war, it was half the size it is now. Hundreds of millions of people live here, and MAGAs are in no way in the majority. What exactly do they think will happen?
