Laughing in front of cages designed to hold migrants and refugees, many of whom came to this country fleeing extreme violence and poverty, and hoping to raise their children in a more compassionate country. And many of whom followed all the legal procedures to enter the country.

Once you get people on the dole for this, they will fight tooth and nail to protect it. It's more than just the economic benefits and they know it. It's about the extralegal status that is afforded to someone who works in CBP/ICE. It's the impunity. The sense of commanded respect. The fear.

The most remarkable part of these concessions is that the administration will come back for more.

Ok that’s it this is a concerted group effort there is no denying it. The Dem establishment got together in a back room and said “how are we gonna stop this man from making change in the party he is too dangerously progressive and popular.”
And then they all agreed “use the Jews.”

- $14.4 billion for transportation and removal, on top of the current annual budget of $750 million
- $8 billion for hiring/retention

You can't meaningfully fight antisemitism while engaging in baseline Islamophobia, and you can't meaningfully fight corporate greed when you are beholden to corporate interests.
Know how we can tell racism is the reason Corporate Democrats are refusing to back Mamdani?
Exhibit A: Last Sept Hochul condemned Trump for cutting taxes on the wealthy.
Exhibit B: Now Hochul condemns Mamdani for raising taxes on the wealthy.
This hypocrisy is why Dems have a 26% approval rating.

The suffering connected to each one of these carts—grieving families and terrified victims—is incomprehensible. Like a survival horror film but the real-life aftermath is destroyed lives and a permanently altered American landscape.
There is no punishment harsh enough for those responsible.

Abandoned ice cream carts, fruit, and taco stands. Trucks with broken windows left in the middle of the streets. It’s the new reality ICE has brought to our beautiful city. This taco stand appears to have been hit last night, 6/27 in South LA by Florence and Gramercy.

Imagine if there was precedent for paramilitary thugs working on behalf of a fascist leader and his official agencies. That might give us an insight into where this might be headed. Alas.
Per this lawyer, the mother of 3 US citizens, among others, has been abducted by “bounty hunters” at gunpoint, brought to CBP, where they demanded she sign deportation papers without seeing a judge.
When she refused, she was literally disappeared by the armed “bounty hunters” at the behest of CBP.

When you protest they beat you and kill you and when you vote they rig the elections, when you run candidates and win, they just walk out or run another person in the election, they'll rig primaries, they'll assassinate movement leaders, they'll deport you if you win an election. This must end.

A reminder: You cannot appease a fascist. They will never just take a few rights & freedoms away from a few people and suddenly be satisfied. They won't pack up the brutality & censorship and go home. They want total control. Of you, and every aspect of your life. The goal posts are on rails.
