“Then they put him on a plane to Texas, where he will be placed in a cage and fed moldy food surrounded by other distressed and weeping children. We’re the good guys.”
ICE spokesperson Marcos Charles: "My officers stayed with the child. They cared for him. Took him to get something to eat from a drive-thru restaurant and spent hours ensuring he was taken care of. Again, my officers did that, not his father ... his family refused to open the door and take him back"

I have friends and acquaintances who Do Not Like This, but I can swear by my own life and experience: generosity is not vulnerability, even in the Rhetorical Arena. A generous and witty person is not weaker than the humorless, and often more effective.
(to add on) in fact, the most effective way is to positively and generously communicate with the people on the fence! this is because generosity and steadiness signal a confidence that frantic yelling does not. also, you get a compounding effect of "dang, you were right and didn't get upset" with it

This has been enabled by a society that encourages people to believe the idea that white supremacy is somehow transgressive rather than hegemonic.
Sneako likens playing "Heil Hitler' in a nightclub to the Boston Tea Party: "It is pro-free speech. It is the Founding Fathers dumping the tea into the ocean. You want to tax us? We're gonna go flip over your boats."

Man the implication that somewhere deep in our brain there is a “see tiny people all over the place” button and a mushroom can press it, that’s deeply unsettling.
With most psychedelic drugs, you never know what you're going to get. But this mysterious mushroom from China - without fail - causes users to hallucinate tiny people: crawling up walls, popping out from under furniture and marching under doors. www.bbc.com/future/artic...

Causing them to hallucinate! I like this
over the last couple of decades I think media and politicians' obsession with opinion polling has caused something a bit like the data rot LLMs get when they reprocess their own information, but on a societal scale
People are waving around 50/50 polling on abolish ICE and in the same poll Trump’s is like 30 points under water on affordability. It’s not at all crazy for professional politicians to think there’s a bigger advantage in talking about the latter!

Parents said the food was contaminated with mold and worms & that children were so under so much stress that they were hitting their own faces & wetting themselves.
Parents said the food was contaminated with mold and worms & that children were so under so much stress that they were hitting their own faces & wetting themselves.
Analysis by The Marshall Project of ICE data obtained by the Deportation Data Project found that the Trump administration’s revival of family detention has swept thousands of children into ICE custody. At least 3,800 children under 18, including 20 infants, have been booked since Trump took office.

So yeah, per the DHS vote that just happened, as I suspected: if they needed the couple of Rs that werent there to put it over the edge, theyd have held it open for them to get there. Even all Ds together w Massie would have only been 214. Margins are narrow but if Rs stick together its just math
The war powers resolution to block further military action in Venezuela by Trump is currently winning by 1, with all Dems + Massie and Bacon supporting, but the Rs have flown Wesley Hunt back to DC and are holding the vote open as he makes his way to the Hill from Dulles airport
