Just a reminder that ICE didn't exist until 2002. It's not some longstanding institution that must be maintained. It was created as a knee-jerk reaction to 9/11, and it could be gotten rid of as easily as it was created.

They say a picture is worth a thousand words, but this photo of Steve Bannon and Noam Chomsky apparently being great pals at an event organized by Jeffrey Epstein is worth a thousand snarky comments on the topology of the political spectrum and the mores of intellectual élites.
Well, there's a photo I never expected to see in my life. Noam Chomsky palling around with Steve Bannon.
