None of these restrictions will do anything to protect the Haitian community in Springfield, who are going to be absolutely brutalized once their TPS is lifted. They won’t have help from the state, or a large local community committed to defending them. The Senate has to protect them.
Dems coalescing around 5 restrictions on ICE, I'm told:
DHS required to cooperate with state probes (big)
CBP stays at border
warrants for arrests
IDs, bodycams
ICE out of churches, schools
"That package unites a lot of Dems," Sen Chris Murphy tells me on the pod:

Hurting people is easy. It's lazy. Anyone can do it with the right tools and the wrong morals.
Protecting people is hard. It takes restraint and courage and empathy. They will never have that. So they can never win, in the end. Minneapolis will win.

Greg Bovino sadly filling one steamer trunk after another with elaborate fashy overcoats, the teargas canisters he always has bouncing around on him like labubus, and dozens of "chest-belts." They will be shipped ahead of him as he prepares to return to his home, which is a men's size 10 boot.

New evergreen post just dropped.
The good thing about this blatant a lie is that it neatly ends any reasonable doubt about whether the death was murder.
They put Geraldo Lunas Campos in a chokehold and compressed his chest until he stopped breathing. And then they lied through their Nazi teeth.

Stop calling us murderers or we’re going to be forced to do more murders
“It’s gonna infuriate people more which means there’s gonna be more incidents like this. Can I have my bag of cash now?”
Homan: "We gotta stop the hateful rhetoric. Saying this officer is a murderer is dangerous. It's just ridiculous. It's gonna infuriate people more which means there's gonna be more incidents like this."

Trump claims he takes a lot of aspirin, but I’ll bet he only takes, like, 5000 mg a day or some pussy amount like that. I heard Obama takes two or three times that.
Trump admits to taking more aspirin than his docs recommend: “They say aspirin is good for thinning out the blood, and I don’t want thick blood pouring through my heart. I want nice, thin blood pouring through my heart. Does that make sense?”

These are the same people whose “solution” to school shootings is that every school should exist in a perpetual state of lockdown.
CNN: “Surely you don’t think a daycare should be unlocked.”
SHIRLEY: “There should be a reception area.”
CNN: “No, every day care is locked.”
SHIRLEY: “Fair point.” 🤔
He shows up to a day care with masked men and wonders why they don’t let him in.

Thomas Hardy’s great end of year lyric poem, 'The Darkling Thrush', first published in The Graphic on 29 Dec. 1900, and then in The Times on 1 Jan. 1901 – though a deleted ‘1899’ on the manuscript suggests he may have written it earlier.

King Herod THOUGHT he was right.
He THOUGHT that protecting his own power was to protect his kingdom.
He THOUGHT the murder of children in Bethlehem was justified by the Magi's refusal to tell him the identity of the Christ child.
He thought a few lives were a small price to pay for greatness.
