People should be allowed to sue ICE agents for violating their rights & killing their loved ones.
That means closing the loophole that prevents federal officials from being sued & ending qualified immunity to hold federal agents accountable.

You’ll notice that not one single reporter stood up for/defended CNN’s Kaitlan Collins as she was being verbally attacked by the orange felon in the bulldozed White House. They can’t even stand up for one of their own so there’s no hope of them ever standing up for democracy.

Dickinsonia, back when evolution was excited to make pancakes.
Paleontologists are pretty sure Dickinsonia was an animal, a creature that lived in the sea around 550 million years ago. The flat, ripply organism adhered itself to the floor with mucus and grazed on mats of microbes. Slick. 🧪

You’ll never guess but the solution to people not having money is to give them money.
"By the end of the two-year period, 94% of participants reported they were housed."
A million pilot programs show the same thing: when people are given enough money to afford housing, homelessness ends.
Other supports matter, but housing comes first. Not policing. Not moralizing. Homes.
