If you roll through a stop sign in your car while you're texting on your phone and nearly cream me while I'm in a crosswalk with right-of-way, expect a torrent of verbal abuse and a double freebird salute. No fucking apologies for existing outside of a car.

The different between the right and centrists is that the right gleefully kills millions of people and centrists present mass murder as a technical solution, like they added up all the numbers and carried a zero and oops, sorry, millions have to die.

This will pain many Democrats who have consistently been in favor of these government contracts, BUT, my personal opinion is we should end any government contracts for surveillance/tech companies that were willing to carry out and assist in clearly and publicly illegal actions by these agencies.
If the political opposition doesn’t put these ICE & CBP institutional criminals in prison, annihilate their budgets, purge the datasets and repeal their authorities, this will keep happening. And that opposition will reveal itself as a false, controlled opposition that is no less predatory on people

The details about conditions at the Broadview facility in this thread are absolutely horrifying. The agents who are perpetrating these crimes must be brought to justice.
A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.
