"ICE and CBP must be abolished" is the only reasonable position. We can debate the specifics of new agencies for immigration functions, but these agencies are simply too infected with a culture of impunity, racism, and fascism to continue. They're gangs with badges.

The thing about measles is that it’s the only known virus that triggers immune amnesia - it causes your immune system to forget everything it has previously learned. Meaning you essentially reset to zero and are now at risk of basically everything.
It can take 2-3 years to get immunities back.

In terms of US politics, Bush v. Gore is the defining event of the century.

The 25th anniversary of Bush v Gore is today. The conspiracy mongering & corruption of the GOP has been brewing for a long time.
Roberts, Barrett and Kavanaugh were all on Bush's legal team, where they pushed unfounded legal theories. SC justices were already enmeshed in voter fraud myths.

People are worried about Trump not leaving office in 2029 but they should be more worried about the Supreme Court enabling perpetual Republican rule by overturning what remains of the Voting Rights Act and campaign finance laws. SCOTUS has those cases this term.
25 years ago today, SCOTUS elected George W Bush president of the United States by blocking completion of a voting canvass in Florida. A subsequent canvass by the Associated Press showed that Bush's rival, Al Gore, had won the race in Florida—and thus the contest for the presidency—by 700 votes.

The province-level Conservative Party (UPC) in Alberta is using the “Notwithstanding Clause” a STAGGERING 4TH TIME IN UNDER 2 MONTHS to ignore the Canadian Charter of Rights & Freedoms. In this Alberta Govt, extremist ideology is clearly a lot more important than human rights and the rule of law.
Premier’s use of the Charter of Rights & Freedoms “Notwithstanding Clause” is supposed to be VERY RARE, to address blatant Judicial overreach.
Smith in Alberta would use it to blatantly erase human rights, the CORE OF THE CHARTER.
Ford in Ontario would use it to backstop his own BLATANT OVERREACH.

Just in case you weren’t sure how awful Doug ford is. The courts ruled against him based on the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms because PEOPLE WILL DIE IF HE REMOVES SAFE BIKE INFRASTRUCTURE. So he’s considering ABUSING the Notwithstanding Clause just for ego and some cheap suburban votes.
