The reason why DHS can't be reformed is that something like this isn't just the uniformed brutes of ICE & other depts; It's also how many people passively complying with moving the paperwork along and things like that. Too many people who seem to be able to live with themselves after participating.
HAPPENING NOW: DHS just expedited Liam Conejo Ramos' asylum hearing to this morning, meaning it's possible the five-year-old and his family could be deported as soon as today.

maybe I'm just some kind of no-nothing rube, but why is Joaquin Castro giving a statement? where are the elected officials from MINNESOTA where this family lives? where is Tim Walz? Where is Amy Klobuchar?

I think that this sequence might be the single most pointlessly sadistic government action of my lifetime

obvious what’s happening here, and that they’re serious, to anyone who hasn’t entrenched themselves into the opposite take by virtue of stubbornness
The threat of immigration agents at polling places is classic voter suppression. Rudy Giuliani bragged to Steve Bannon about this "dirty trick" in 2023, saying his '93 mayoral campaign spread rumors of agents at polling places to suppress the "Hispanic illegal vote."

My foolproof way of determining if crypto is doing well or not is always to check the major cryptocurrency subreddits and if more than 50% of them have the suicide hotline number pinned on their front-page then I know that crypto is doing really really really well

Sheriffs and local law enforcement officers put their lives on the line every day to keep us safe.
I’m honored to receive the Legislator of the Year award from the Major County Sheriffs of America and will keep working together to protect Minnesotans across our state.

Mamdani: That’s how I felt when we came up with this plan. Together, we will expand the idea of what is possible in our city—and what sounds and noises we can make at a press conference.

I think this sort of thing more than anything else fills me with dread. They’re just never gonna do anything
Chuck Schumer says ICE should be allowed to wear masks in "unusual circumstances—you know, some guy's picture was put up by a terrorist group or something."
