The next Dem president, on Day One, should make public (and easily searchable) the names and duty stations (with dates) of every ICE agent.

And potential candidates should start making that promise now.

Can’t pardon social ostracism. And can’t facemask your name.

Today, after @propublica.org published this story, the camp was raided to confiscate letters from the children.

Obv I’m against voter ID requirements. Unless you’re voting for Gavin Newsom in which case they should cover up the “organ donor” thing on your license so nobody gets your shitty organs

“I’ll vote for a soggy ham sandwich.” Ok, great. Good for you. Well done.

1) not the point
2) a lot of people won’t
3) we need better anyway
4) and we HAVE better
5) so when people start pushing the ham sandwich
6) we say hey the soggy ham sandwich, that’s a really bad idea
7) which IS the point

when politically misguided people say "republicans and democrats are basically the same", ***THIS*** is the kind of shit they point to (thanks Hills, you can die any day now, we're fine):
Hillary Clinton: "More people were deported under my husband and Barack Obama without killing American citizens and without putting children into detention camps than were in the first Trump term or this first year of Trump's second term."

Guillotines are the moderate solution
On Thanksgiving, the immigrant children held at the Dilley detention center gathered in the gym for what they thought was a holiday feast.

The kids salivated over a spread of turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, a family told me.

But the food wasn’t for detainees — it was for the staff.

This is gender.
Living in this country, it’s just a reality that the left and liberals are expected to do more and uphold more. I don’t know how you can come away with any other conclusion than that when you flip the script on the above premise.

It’s only called a concentration camp if it comes from the Auschwitz region of Poland; otherwise it’s a sparkling detention center.

trying to establish a government-mandated anti-weed "cultural norm" is how you create Cheech & Chong II by accident
There's also this shit, a mainstay of brain-dead centrist punditry. Who, specifically, needs to 'acknowledge' that weed has downsides? How, mechanically, can government bring about better 'culture and social norms'?

Mr. Vice President, does it bother you to be referred to as a "White House staffer"?

The mainstream media needs a "political showdown" story angle to ICE or they won't cover it.

What is the red team doing and how is the blue team responding? What are the implications on the midterms or Newsom's or Pritzker's 2028 run?

Los Angeles, Chicago, Minneapolis, ICE raids never slowed down.

I cannot stand the "this is a good start" discourse. The Democrats in Congress do not want to abolish ICE. They have proposed a series of bog-standard reforms regurgitated by a think tank. Everyone knows they do not work. The Democrats supporting this do not care. They just want to move on.

umm fyi!
According to the judge, they're detaining people—the vast majority of whom are lawfully present—and moving them to different states and facilities within a matter of hours. But when it comes to releasing them, it takes two weeks. The attorneys don't even know who is in control of that.

one of my strongest beliefs is that we're in our situation right now bc some of the most prominent talking heads (e.g. joe rogan, andrew schulz) are learning about politics in their 40s and 50s, instead of their teens and early 20s, and we have to go along for the ride as they learn basic things
