We want a young and unabashed progressive to talk shit to Abbott. And we certainty don’t want you to be delicate.

The incredible police work of showing up at a scheduled immigration hearing to handcuff an immigrant for following the law.

Here is an example of a migration detention center built under Biden on this side. It’s out on the edges of Chaparral, where the winters get down to 15F at night and the summers get up to 115F during the day.

During Biden, people were getting scooped up, dumped out on their asses in downtown Juárez, and stuck in holding zones in the desert or shelters like the one that burned down, killing dozens while their jailers fled. Most “liberal” Americans didn’t pay attention- the cruelty wasn’t advertised.

A lot of Very Cool People got upset and came to EP and maybe protested for a day or maybe a month (if they were dedicated) after the Trump admin rolled out family separation, but they didn’t do shit during Title 42, when folks were living on the street in JRZ, and they’re not here now.

I called friends who work for advocacy agencies, but I quit that job, and have no idea what’s going on in that building. I think about those kids every day.

In the parking lot, there were white sprinter vans that I assumed took these kids to their legal and medical appointments, but they certainly weren’t going to school, as I saw them have a meager “recess” on premises on the 12’x9’ Astroturf in the middle of that parking lot.

I worked in an office in downtown EP that overlooked a housing center for unaccompanied minors (KIDS under 12). The building was formerly HUD housing for seniors who didn’t need around-the-clock care.

The thing is, there ARE militias that have come down to EP, Rio Grande Valley, AZ, etc.; shadowed Border Patrol; and participated in stalking and terrorizing migrants, and destroying water drops. I think the presence of militias like these is why these conspiracy theories have more gas.

My FIL was the quintessential Hank Hill “annoyed, but open-hearted old-school libertarian” until last year when he started spouting typical anti immigration shit. After 25 yrs of knowing the man, It was one of the most disappointing conversations I’ve ever had in my life.

The ARGUMENT I had with my in-laws this weekend. My dad did my in-law’s genealogy, and found that my FIL’s ancestors came to the US as Spanish refugees during the Napoleonic wars and as prisoners in transportation from England. My FIL tried to make the, “you gotta do it the right way,” argument.

New I-69 billboard just dropped: [photo of the explosion] “RENOVATED: Bidets at Buc-ees!”

Y’Alla wa Issa, you spent a whole damn week denigrating teachers in your relentless mission to proof that teachers are not working class, and, in doing so, alienating every teacher working in an over-enrolled classroom for shit wages and a tenuous “pension”. What the fuck is your problem?

You wanna be a politician, guess what homie, that means actually listening to people and crafting policy with your community.

You are attacked here because you are a petulant shit who doesn’t hear folks and their very legitimate concerns and criticisms, and relies on your non-existent intuition, becoming extremely defensive whenever questioned.

You are the King of shooting yourself in the face with birdshot because you resent the person teaching you how to load the fucking gun. You, regardless of how you were raised, or your grades, your theoretical background, do not know everything.

Who would be your dictionary photo next to “pendejete?” I imagine a festering, impacted pinky toe pube, so mine would be Stephen Milller.
