From THE LAST AMERICAN ROAD TRIP, on the stripping away of American rights. The book is mostly a family travelogue. But new laws were devised midway through our travels, and I got mad, and wrote that down too.

I was just denied entry to the Dilley detention facility while my constituent, seven-year-old Diana, remains inside.
What kind of sick, horrific conditions are children being forced to endure in there?
I will be back tomorrow. Accountability can’t wait.

We were outraged by Liam, but Diana is a young girl that has been in an ICE prison even longer. The wee girl still is in prison. Be loud! Share! Justice for Diana Crespo Gonzalez!
Today is day 20 (depending on when incarceration countdown begins) of Diana Crespo Gonzales’ incarceration in an ICE prison in Texas. Children are not allowed to legally be detained for more than 20 days.

This is extraordinary. I will miss Colbert so much, but he is going out blazing.

Wealth hoarding is a form of structural violence so egregious that every person with a net worth greater than $100B should be prosecuted for grand theft. Change my mind.

A brilliant moment for the times we live in
Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

This isn't about "training issues." The murderer who executed Renee Good has been with ICE for 10 years, and according to DHS, the murderer who executed Alex Pretti has been there for 8 years.
These aren't "new recruits," or officers that can be "retrained." ICE can't be reformed. Abolish ICE.

Defenceless under the night
Our world in stupor lies;
Yet, dotted everywhere,
Ironic points of light
Flash out wherever the Just
Exchange their messages:
May I, composed like them
Of Eros and of dust,
Beleaguered by the same
Negation and despair,
Show an affirming flame.

@booker.senate.gov Shame on you, Senator. What a disgusting failure on your part to recognize the nature of what ICE is and what its intentions are. ICE is not merely in “need of more training…”. How dare you fail to recognize terrorists for what they are. You are the most shameful Vichy dem.
