This is what ICE does every day. Hunt little kids who are here legally. They get sent to a place called the “baby jail” in Texas. Very little of it ends up on video like this. But it’s routine. And disgusting.

The New York Times reports that the Department of Homeland Security has sent Google, Meta, and other media corporations subpoenas for the names on accounts that criticize ICE enforcement. The department wants to identify Americans who oppose what it’s doing. I’ll save them time.

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

Enough with the outrage theatre.
If Reform stands for ordinary working people, why did all their MPs vote against the Workers’ Rights Bill?

You can’t wedge immigration into that one. It’s just the record.

It isn't an empty gesture, it may not do anything now, but it's a signal to history, and to the world and to ourselves, that this is not ok.

Robert Jenrick is lying.

Reform UK have spent, to date, almost £1.5 MILLION with Harding Print Solutions.

They are NOT a local Manchester printer.

They are Reform's go-to print company and have been for a long time.

They say liberals and leftists get triggered quite easily, and I agree. But it’s usually about social injustice. That was a fun halftime show about social justice. The other people get triggered too, when we try to include the people they don’t like. They’re anti-equity, which is anti-America.

Tell me how ICE are not domestic terrorists if they instill fear, anger, anxiety, and terror wherever they go. Defunding ice isn’t far enough. Abolishing ICE altogether is the only answer we should accept.

LISTEN: There are a lot of folks out here working tirelessly to get the truth out there. Replying to us that nothing matters because there'll be no consequences is not only incorrect, but it belittles the work we do. It's insulting and shortsighted. Stop following us if you don't want the info.

Crockett: "The US is falling apart, partially bc he's allowing for killings in the street, but also bc we have a 34 count convicted felon being shielded from any type of accountability as it relates to a child sex trafficking ring. I don't understand why we're pretending any of this is normal."
