🧵While ICE is nabbing innocent 4-year-olds, DHS allowed a suspect in the largest jewelry heist in US history to self-deport to South America in December.

Prosecutors were planning to try the case and send him to prison, but DHS gave him a free flight out instead.
Anger as suspect in $100M jewelry heist avoids trial – because ICE deported him
An attorney representing some of the jewelry companies impacted in the heist said Jeson Nelon Presilla Flores’s deportation ‘exposes a gap in the system that deserves transparency’

There’s only one way to leave an abusive relationship: utterly and finally.

That doesn’t make it easy—on the contrary, it’s among the hardest things anyone can ever do.

It’s just as hard for a nation or group of nations.

It’s time for Europe to abandon America. Cut us off until we save ourselves.

It isn’t healthy to be this angry all the time. But it also isn’t healthy if this doesn’t make you angry.

“Mark Carney got one of the very, very few standing ovations in the more than 50 year history of the World Economic Forum. All. Because. He. Essentially. Told. Trump. To. Go. To. Hell.”
Mark your calendars. This week marks the beginning of the end for Trump. Unfortunately, thanks to his ugly blundering, it also marks the end for an era of American leadership and international partnership that shall be sorely missed. open.substack.com/pub/davidrot...

This is basically how I view the subject. Like, no duh, the United States has done some incredibly awful stuff over the centuries. But we also have a very powerful strand of humanitarianism, especially in the post World War II era, and I will damn well lean into that part of our national identity.
People who say this are clearly speaking aspirationally about a shared American creed they hold dear. “Have you heard of the Trail of Tears?” is not a very helpful response, because they probably have and the priority right now is moral opposition to fascism and not fake-educating each other.
I fear my tipping point into madness is "Thus is un-American" posts in response to ICE terrorizing immigrants. I beg you to open Wikipedia (I would say a book but let's start small) and read up on The Trail of Tears, Fugitive Slave Catchers, Japanese internment, Indian Boarding schools & Jim Crow

Retiring Walmart CEO Doug McMillon made $27.5M last year, over 930 times the median Walmart worker's salary of just $29,469.

Walmart's wages are so low that its workers are among the most likely to rely on SNAP and Medicaid to get by.

It's past time Walmart paid them a living wage.

As someone who has spent multiple thousand dollars on World Cup tickets for this summer, I sincerely hope European nations collectively boycott the World Cup and site Donald Trump and the fascist regime as the singular reason for boycott. I'd gladly eat the cost of the tickets to see the WH meltdown

Trump's ICE detention system is making people untraceable.

Detention documentation specialists at AFSC spent the past 6 months tracking.

A pattern emerged.

People do not simply get lost in Trump's immigration system.

The system itself is designed to lose them.

Mark Carney was probably pretty depressed today after Trump disinvited him from his Board of Peace. Probably didn’t even want to get out of bed. Had to be a devastating blow.
