yeah anyone who thinks this is a great idea wants a five year old victim to have to choose if they want their relative to die
As a child protection professional, I can tell you the death penalty is NOT an awesome solution to child sexual abuse. Most children are abused by family members; they will not report if their family members will die as a result.

Ofelia Torres, the teenage Chicago Public Schools student whose fight against cancer while her father was detained by ICE came to represent the federal government's overreach during Operation Midway Blitz, has died. Brave young woman. I will never forget her. RIP.

Cruelty that would make a Dickens villain blush.
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.

"Tried to" is doing a lot of work in that sentence, because I DEFINITELY see a fire in this video.
Weirdly, I don't see a woman in the video. Hopefully she's off somewhere having a great day.

Most of the roses for sale in the US are raised in hideous labor and environmental conditions in Colombia and Ecuador before they're loaded onto 747s to fly here. I know because I visited one of the rose plantations/sweatshops for my book Orwell's Roses. Give your love a book or something.

All of my group chats are responding to Homan’s announcement by asking everyone to double down because:
1. ICE is still out there and abducting people today. We can’t trust the occupation is over until we actually see it.
2. People are going to be in an economic crisis for a very long time.

So glad our culture and news media spent decades responding to people like this with "what would make you say that," and "let's debate this respectfully," and "why do these ideas resonate with people," and "let's hear him out," and "wow so provocative," instead of "man, shut the fuck up."
Fuentes then fantasizes about “breeding gulags”: “So just like Hitler imprisoned Gypsies, Jews, communists, you know, all of his political rivals, we have to do the same thing with women… They go to the breeding gulags. The good ones will be liberated. The bad ones will toil in the mines forever.”

He literally says in this clip that ICE will keep in Minnesota “quick reaction forces” — a military term — to go after “agitators.” Remember that those on the ground in MPLS have spent more than a week trying to tell everyone that Trump’s prior “deescalation” was a ruse and ICE is still operational
