Sadly, and infuriatingly, a scandalous story like this simply gets swept away in the flood of corruption and incompetence that is the Tr-mp "administration."
The Dilley family detention center is run by CoreCivic, a major Trump donor who has raked in millions from federal contracts already.
Never forget who is profiting from this cruelty.

The "left wing of our party" really isn't a thing on Bluesky these days. Most Bluesky lefties absolutely hate the Democratic Party.
Judging by my totally scientific polling here, it appears that there is absolutely no one, not one single human, that the left wing of our party can name that they would like to see run for president in 2028. Brilliant.

From the Tea Party movement—began 2 months after Obama's inauguration—to Tr-mp floating birtherism on Fox—endearing him to millions of racist Republicans—to that goddamned escalator speech in 2015, it's been white skin supremacy that best explains why we're here now.

Somebody needs to explain to me how we can fix this "despite judge's order" stuff.
Because inevitably, judges somewhere are going to order the Tr-mp thugs to stay away from our right to cast votes in peace, and then what happens when they ignore them?

But I lived through the catastrophic 2008 Republican crash, watched Obama get elected overwhelmingly because of it—and a mere two months after his inauguration, the Tea Party movement started, which ultimately brought us to Tr-mp.

Cato Institute just nuked the lie. Immigrants have cut U.S. deficits by $14.5 TRILLION since 1994, slashing the national debt by a third.
