ICE left David, a 17-year-old boy, stranded on the side of Interstate 20 after pulling over his immigrant father, Hector, in Mississippi.

David began running in the scorching sun after the car and watched as it disappeared from sight—soon headed to a Louisiana ICE prison.

Here's their story.

Seriously, Judges *do no do things like this*

They don't give their opinion to the media

They don't criticize how SCOTUS works

This is them breaking the emergency glass, folks

Got the flu & new COVID shots today with the family, but my kids only got the flu shot because there are no pediatric COVID vaccines right now because dangerous anti-science lunatics have taken over the centers of national public health & are sabotaging them

The autocrat's toadies destroy functioning governance and launch crisis after crisis in order to create a nation that runs on patronage in which he's the only one able to do anything for anyone.

The case against Comey is beyond weak. The case against James is worse. It is based on a lie, and they know they're lying because exculpatory evidence that contradicts the indictment had already been presented to a grand jury in another jurisdiction. Everyone involved with this needs to be disbarred

Dear WH Press Corp
You should be ashamed of yourself.
Start demanding answers. Portland isn’t on fire. Chicago isn’t at war. Seattle isn’t thanking him.
ANTIFA isn’t assaulting ICE agents
Hold him accountable for the lies.
Refuse to ask anything else until he answers these.
Demand the proof

“I … met with the governor, met with the mayor, met with the chief of police, and the superintendent of the highway patrol. They’re all lying, and disingenuous, and dishonest people,” Noem said, because they wouldn’t back up her baseless claims that the streets were overrun with terrorists.
