When your representative says "Don't talk to me about my own morality," I suggest talking to them about their own morality INCESSANTLY.
“I would rather you vote for what is morally correct,” Davidson said.
“Don’t talk to me about my own morality,” DeLauro shot back.
“Don’t tell your constituents what they can and can’t talk to you about,” replied Rev. Nathan Empsall. “What you are voting for is not moral.”

I suspect there are a lot of House Democrats in their 70s or 80s who think they're going to coast back into a comfortable leadership position by keeping their head down and riding the blue wave, but they're going to have to navigate these kinds of challenges first and most are not ready at all.

Oh they're DEFINITELY gonna crash out on themselves. These are men that raise rifles at folks & say the reason was because they made gun gestures with their fingers. They would be eaten alive in a prison & they know it, thus...yeeeeeaaahhh.
I dont think folks are fully prepared for the amount of ICE agents who will likely spiral and self harm when this is all over.
Not that they have any sympathy from me but it's def going to happen.

Film Twitter bitching about Deadpool and Wolverine, calling it the worst film ever made which by that point, I had to say if people consider that and Free Guy the worst film ever, they should see more films.

ICE pulled people out of their NATURALIZATION CEREMONIES. People who had demonstrably convinced the government that they WERE doing it the right way.
Yep.
What is even worse
ICE is going after people UNDERGOING THE LEGAL PROCESS.
So the whole 'BuT ThEY aRe NoT dOIng It tHe RIghT wAy' are being willfully ignorant.

"Sure, ICE is bad, but we need to deport illegal immigrants"
No you don't.
If immigration enforcement leads to concentration camps and roving death squads, maybe it's time to just get rid of the concept of illegal immigration entirely. You've tried it, it's a bad idea in practice, so bin it.

it's so, so, so frustrating how they act like people applying for asylum are subject to removal proceedings. that is not the law!!!!
Just heard back from DHS on why they abruptly expedited Ramos' asylum hearing:
“These are regular removal proceedings. This is standard procedure and there is nothing retaliatory about enforcing the nation’s immigration laws. He will receive full due process."
(This is not standard procedure.)

If a system produces unjust outcomes time and time again, then we can’t *just* focus on individual cases of injustice. Because there will always be more, and never enough attention to go around for all of them. The entire system has to be reworked and/or abolished.
