From this moment forward (and before, but clearly now):

-If you work for ICE.
-If you vote for money for ICE.

You are complicit. This is the gestapo. You're on the wrong side. You can't pretend not to know.

I've seldom heard such an honest, measured analysis of where we've been and where we are geopolitically. Carney is a great world leader right now. Exactly the kind of voice we need to listen to!

Extraordinary statement from a man whose global career and rational demeanor and central banker's pragmatic ethos made him a quintessential standardbearer for the 'rules-based international order' that he now eloquently warns is coming apart, perhaps irreparably -#markcarney
“We are taking the sign out of the window. The old order is not coming back. We should not mourn it. Nostalgia is not a strategy. But from the fracture, we can build something better, stronger, and more just. This is the task of the middle powers.”

Did it again. DHS Assistant Secretary tells the Wall Street Journal:

“Law enforcement uses ‘reasonable suspicion’ to make arrests, as allowed under the Fourth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.”
