This bill would abolish ICE, DHS, and CBP, transferring legitimate customs duties to other departments. It would sunset Section 219 of the INA close the Guantánamo Bay detention facility and shutter all immigration detention centers. You have my sword, milady.

Rep. Delia C. Ramirez has introduced a bill that would abolish not just ICE, but the DHS altogether, repealing the 2002 law establishing the agency and replacing it with one focused on protecting civil and human rights.

I know this is divisive and unpopular with those all-important centrist white suburban voters, but don't think it makes us safer to spend half our civic budget on a murder gang.

Kavanaugh says that Constitution is an "enduring document" and that new exceptions to birthright citizenship can be added for "modern situations that were unknown or unanticipated by the Constitution’s Framers"

Got so drunk I fell off a balcony onto my face, then escaped the ambulance and had a friend come get me to take me back to the party. No Nazi tattoo though.

After ICE deported Wendy Hernandez Reyes, it turned her 3-year-old son Orlin over to her sister’s estranged partner, who tortured Orlin and beat him to death. I can’t say what I think should happen to those responsible without violating this website’s TOS. www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

If I told you ten years ago all of the Jeopardy winners, doctors, lawyers, stat-focused sports nerds, and premium shitposters escaped Twitter on a pirate ship to a website that was completely inhospitable to Nazis and phrenologists……. I don’t know, man, I’d be pretty excited.

My latest. I’ve been watching the media coverage of the murders of Dr. Cerina Fairfax and Vice Mayor Nancy Metayer. One way media can fight back against male violence: If you kill your wife, you don’t get to be called a “husband” any more. You’re her killer. open.substack.com/pub/karenatt...

People don’t wanna put two and two together with what he did to usaid and him putting up those maps of global birthrates and saying white people are being replaced

Iran could probably end the war tomorrow by offering to cut Trump in on the toll they want to charge for using the Strait. The president is a dumber Tony Soprano.

What's funny is some version of this seems like the most likely outcome if this ends anytime soon. Iran keeps control of the Strait (and the implied threat of the ability to cut off the oil supply whenever). They pay the US/Trump some share of revenue.

Trump gets to claim victory like he did in Venezuela- that he's bringing the US oil & making the US money. Iran formalizes real power over the Strait/world oil supply, drives wedge between US/Israel. Guessing the rest of any deal would look a lot like the JCPOA.

The people of Minnesota have executed one of the most impressive civil resistance campaigns I can remember: - Organized a city wide general strike - Maintained nonviolent discipline amidst violence - Mobilized 10,000s in subzero temps to protest and watch ICE - Flipped public opinion against ICE

oh commuters just found the motherlode of ice agents at a suburban hotel, including, potentially, bovino himself. a bunch of confirmed ICE and CBP cars from the bovino convoy there. spring hill suites in maple grove. people of the twin cities, do with this info what you will.

"We must sacrifice for it [freedom]" True, and inadvertently prophetic. May this also serve as his (and Renee's) legacy.

The newest video shows very clearly that they attacked him for coming to an aid of a woman that the agents pushed, and then executed him while he was immobilized. Everything the government has said, like with Good, has been a complete lie.

Worth reading through. Solidarity with the people of Minnesota ✊️✊️

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

I'm seeing lots of people debating if Dems should focus more on ICE, more on affordability, etc. Do this. This message got to my sister, who's not following this stuff closely, and it made her angry

AOC: I want everybody to understand that the cuts to your health care are what’s paying for this. You get screwed over to pay a bunch of thugs in the street that are shooting mothers in the face.

Yesterday, these incompetent fucks were just going door-to-door in a neighborhood near my house at 8:30 in the morning. School buses were driving through trying to pick up kids, people were out walking their dogs, and people were taking out their trash cans.

Screenshots of some of the documents found in looted ICE vehicles from one of the livestreams before it got turned "private" on YouTube (after the other one already was). Share widely and make sure the genie can't go back in the bottle.

Also...note that Noem just stated this car wasn't DHS (ICE)- that it was FBI. I don't trust Noem one bit, but it does introduce some uncertainty in this.

For what it's worth, I'm just re-sharing information that was publicly broadcast and seems to be of public interest, particularly given the constitutional violations that are happening daily in Minnesota right now.
