Also: if you work for ICE, even if you’re not one of the ones arresting citizens or tackling 15-year-olds or zip-tying kids together and segregating them by race, you’re part of the mechanism making it happen, and you should suffer long-term social and post-regime-change consequences.

Some weirdo on Twitter has been absolutely melting down for like 36 straight hours because I posted:

When this is over, do not forget what ICE did, and what ICE is. And do not make room for them in society. Make sure they know that they are, and will continue to be, reviled and beneath contempt.

House Oversight's Robert Garcia is calling on Chairman Comer to "immediately schedule a date for Ghislaine Maxwell to testify" before the Committee.

The panel had postponed its deposition with Maxwell until the Supreme Court decided whether to take up her appeal (it did not). tinyurl.com/bpasrhvz

Good night, friends.
Tonight was deeply painful.

We at CDC do this work because we care.
It’s long hours, often feeling overworked and not enough pay, but we do it because we want to make the world a better place.
