in general, if I see someone saying, "wow I voted for trump but his policies are really harming me" I tend to try to say something like, "You know, I wish you were not suffering, and I voted against him because I didn't want you or anyone to suffer."

This is what they've done.
What emerges from this and a half dozen other recent cases is that ICE agents have been told they enjoy total immunity from criminal prosecution. So they're free to commit acts of vandalism, extortion and behave as sexual predators with minors, with no consequences. Congratulations to Kristi Noem!

I don’t care if information implicating Democrats is revealed, but I do care if information implicating Trump and his allies is withheld.
It’s impossible not to suspect the latter will be happening, given how strangely and suddenly everything shifted.

This is a moment of uncertainty and fear in sex ed. Governments are restricting access to sexual health information with tactics such as age verification laws and treating sex ed as pornography to deny young people access to information that provides them with accurate sexual health information.
