“We’re in these walled-off secret societies. These are state institutions. But it’s one of the only state institutions that the public or the media has no access to. How can a journalist go into a war zone, but can’t go into a prison in the United States of America?” - Raoul Poole, prisoner
HBO's "The Alabama Solution" was nominated for an Academy Award. But the incarcerated men who produced the footage that made the film possible were just thrown into solitary confinement.
They Collaborated on an Oscar-Nominated Film — Then Got Thrown Into Solitary

Abolish DHS. If you can imagine a world before Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, you can imagine a world without the Department of Homeland Security. My latest at @startribune.com. (gift link)
Perry: Abolish ICE? How about DHS altogether.
"We have models for how to structure federal immigration oversight that doesn't rely on an unaccountable masked secret police force running rampant in our streets," David M. Perry writes.

This woman's story in her own words is pretty damn compelling. But god damn, her candor, which can be seen as a trait of autism, is so valuable. Didn't know I needed to hear it and even though it was a gut punch I'm glad I did watch. And I'm glad she survived and was open to sharing with the world.

Do liberals read the news? Asking as a voter who listened to Kamala say she would be tougher than Trump on immigration. www.nbcnews.com/politics/202...
Kamala Harris' tough-on-migration pitch at the border points to a shifting national mood
Some Democrats concede that they need to prioritize border security and enforcement before they can get to other goals, like expanding legal pathways for newcomers.
