this reminds me of when Biden correctly said in 2020 that one in every thousand black people had died of Covid and the press acted like he was just being a drama queen
One of every thousand American residents has been taken into custody by ICE in the last year.
A stunning detail the ICE chief shared in this hearing that was supposed to be a brag, except it isn't: ICE has arrested 379,000 people between Jan. 2025-Jan. 2026 -- but only 8,700 were suspected gang members or known suspected terrorists.

That's 2%! www.huffpost.com/entry/latest...

Super Bowl viewers Sunday speculated that 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos appeared in the halftime show. In fact, he has been in hiding with his family.

“He can’t sleep well at night. He wakes up three or four times a night screaming, ‘Daddy, Daddy,’” Liam's father Adrian Conejo Arias, said.
‘He’s not the same’: Father of Liam Conejo Ramos says 5-year-old continues to suffer
Some people thought they say the 5-year-old during the Super Bowl halftime show. But Liam is still in hiding with his family, after he and his father were detained and then released from a Texas deten...

AOC on DHS Warehouses: I think every American should be alarmed. They are building—and have built—a black box system that disappears people, both immigrants and U.S. citizens alike.

It’s not too late for states and Congress to stop Trump from subverting the midterms

Uh...WTF?

$30B is from the so-called "Big Beautiful Bill," which passed with 0 Democratic votes. As for the supposed $11B, I googled "ICE+$11 billion" and the only hits I got were to that Semler guy, who wrote it in Jacobin

Maybe @kibblesmith.com should be sad & disgusted at falling for bullshit

1. no you didn't, you retconning fucks

2. your decades of anti-governance "free market" "government never functions" propaganda paved the way for the complete authoritarian decimation of labor, consumer, environmental protections

This isn’t about election integrity.
It’s about making Americans believe democracy can’t be trusted.

This Is How Trump Prepares America to Reject an Election
He’s already telling his supporters the system is rigged, floating unconstitutional ideas, and priming them for chaos if Republicans lose.

Here’s the situation in the Twin Cities:

Random Bovino-style tear-gassing: Way down

Relentless persecution of immigrants: Unchanged

Thuggish violence against observers: Way up

As a reminder:
Senate was 48 Dems, 2 Independents who caucused with Dems and 50Rs. Required VP Harris as a tie breaker.

House started at 221 D, 211 R and 2 vacancies.

Razor thin majorities but passed huge pieces of legislation.

Honestly, it is pretty funny how every news story on the matter has “Unknown US intelligence official is Russian spy” next to a picture of Tulsi Gabbard.

I’ve seen people comment that Osoff voted for the Laken Riley act. YMMV, but I personally view OBBBA as the defining ICE vote—which Dems unanimously opposed. I personally view the Laken Riley in context of it passing within weeks of Dems just getting their electoral asses WHOOPD on immigration…
SEN. OSSOFF: “.. why are roving gangs of masked men — who look like they couldn’t pass the Army physical exam — dressed up like pretend Delta Force operators, on our streets, demanding papers, dragging people from their cars, and shooting people to death?”
