Here's a reminder to everyone in Massachusetts: we have a statewide I.C.E. hotline. It was founded by a coalition of immigrant-led nonprofit organizations.
If you think I.C.E. might be in your vicinity, call 617-370-5023.

The President wouldn't last five minutes as an air traffic controller, and after everything they've been through - and the way this administration has treated them from Day One - he has no business shitting on them now.

A man rushed to the Broadview ICE facility searching for his wife. They followed every legal step, but ICE took her into another room and she vanished. He tracked her phone there when the signal died. Police told him to “look up her name online.” He sat in the parking lot, weeping, with no answers.

The DC sandwich guy has been charged with assault for shouting at a CBP officer, throwing a sub into his chest, and then running off.
"I did it. I threw the sandwich," he said while he was being processed.

Dick Cheney did more than anyone else to build up expansive and destructive executive branch powers in the wake of 9/11; he lived to see another president turn those same powers against his own daughter.
He should be a warning sign to the GOP today but too many of them are in the cult.
