I can only fathom the weight they carry at this moment. Not merely a nation, but the world itself looks to them in expectation. The burden must be immense - almost unimaginable.

The fact we have secret police whisking people off the streets doesn’t get enough attention. It ain’t normal and we’re further down the road to authoritarianism than you think.

Warnock: If I'm honest, there are days when I have to ask people of my faith tradition as a Christian, are we reading the same book?
The book I know says I was hungry and you fed me. I was sick, I was in prison and you visited me, I was a stranger and you welcomed me….

With this budget, ICE alone would have nearly as large a detention operation as all 50 states' prison systems combined. Bigger budget than the Marine Corps. Police-state levels of spending
If the GOP reconciliation bill passes, ICE gets through FY2029:
- $45 billion for detention, on top of the current annual budget of $3.4 billion
- $14.4 billion for transportation and removal, on top of the current annual budget of $750 million
- $8 billion for hiring/retention
- Billions more.

BREAKING: What you just witnessed was a state-sanctioned kidnapping. These people aren’t identifying themselves. Citizens can no longer distinguish between state authority & rogue violence.
This is not a warning about what might come. We are not watching the start of something. We are living it.

Not-so-gentle reminder that one senator can use his privilege to pretty much grind the senate to a halt.
Padilla: If this is how DHS responds to a senator with a question you can only imagine what they're doing to farm workers, to cooks, to day laborers out in the Los Angeles community and throughout California.

❗️Enemy 🇷🇺Tu-95MS planes fly about 12,400 km (or 23 hours in the air) to bomb 🇺🇦Ukrainian cities - this is how difficult the UAV attack on 01.06 on the Olenya/Belaya airbases made "life" for Russian bombers.
