It’s pretty wild that the most rabidly anti-immigrant administration in recent memory is comprised of a President married to an immigrant, a VP married to the daughter of immigrants, an assistant AG in charge of Civil Rights who’s an immigrant (Dhillon), & it was all funded by an immigrant (Musk).

Pretty sure it’s illegal to fuck with people’s mail and if you’re law enforcement you have to have a warrant to touch it.
Think your mail is private? In Columbus, ICE is playing "Postmaster General."

Hope everyone had a merry Christmas
ICE detain father shopping on Christmas Eve—then steal his family's groceries.
Then 3 agents divvy up his paid for food—taking what they want for themselves.
"Can I just get the wife's number to call and let her know?" woman asks.
"No, guess he should've complied," agent says.

You can watch the 60 Minutes piece (with a link in my story) about the abuse & torture migrants received in the El Salvador gulag after being deported by the Trump regime without due process & lies about their criminality. This horror is what Trump apologist Bari Weiss didn’t want Americans to see.
Bullseye from 60 Minutes journalist Sharyn Alfonsi in response to Bari Weiss: “If the administration’s refusal to participate becomes a valid reason to spike a story, we have effectively handed them a ‘kill switch’ for any reporting they find inconvenient.”

Well said. And it's 100s of millions impacted.
From the beginnings decades ago, they went in a direction of more public solutions, while we stuck with the employer-based private system. As everything has grown, it’s grown bigger, and it’s grown more $$$, and it’s hard to imagine how to switch without pain for 100s of thousands. The plan matters

Mr Cuban,
I just wanted to quickly thank you. My husband has XXXX cancer, a rare gastrointestinal cancer. We are between insurance right now and when we went to pick it up we were informed it was $29,000. We were able to get it from CostPlus for $990. Thank you for saving my husband's life.
