GW Bush: “It is neither wise, nor realistic to round up millions of people, many with deep roots in the United States, and send them across the border. There is a rational middle ground between granting an automatic path to citizenship for every illegal immigrant, and a program of mass deportation.”

One does not need to live in Ramallah or anywhere else in the West Bank to see what is coming. Israeli forces already besiege most of the Palestinian territory, negotiated under the infamous Oslo Accords, as they besiege city after city across the West Bank.

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.

Great to talk with Dahlia about the warehousification of immigrant detention and how it intersects with concentration camp history. I've now had a chance to listen to the Linus Chan segment, too, and it's so helpful how he lays out the maximalist approach unfolding now on the ground.

We really have to hurry this up

This regime is killing everything good about America

(I know we keep calling it America but we’re only the USA and not all of the American countries)

We can’t wait 3 years

Too many have died already

Too many lies are being told

Being anti-poll tax DEMANDS that I reject the SAVE Act. Voting is a zero cost activity and that includes paying for a birth certificate, state ID card or paying to prove that your current name is not your maiden name.
The Senate MUST NOT pass the SAVE Act!

There are billions of dollars allocated to the criminal ICE agency that can be diverted to FEMA, TSA, etc. Congress must act.
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.
