I can't emphasize how important it is for people to understand that unless something FAR BIGGER than an election win happens, this is a pipe dream.

It would take quite a bit to get past qualified immunity.

I can't emphasize enough how important it is that the next attorney general set a team to go through ICE records with a fine tooth comb and prosecute individual agents.

It's the only way to stop this from happening again.

ICE secretly kidnap autistic boy during bathroom break—never notify parents.

Mother reported him missing a week ago—turns out ICE had him detained the whole time.

He was helping sell fruit and asked to go to the restroom—by the time she was done helping a customer he was gone.

Which is why I've said since after November 2024, the only way out is through a collapse and reconstruction. Think Soviet Union or postwar Europe. Otherwise, our current situation will persist for a long time. Maybe a small respite here and there, but with our current system, this is the baseline.

I'm not saying there should not be accountability.

I'm saying we need to get very creative, now, how to get that.

Isn’t it weird #Melania began partnering with Putin on reuniting Ukrainian & Russian kids w/ their families.
What does this sudden shift mean? A change of heart from “I really don’t care do U?” Or an asset clinching the deal ordered by Vlad over 25 yrs ago?
