Their capacity to just flat out lie is matched only by the capacity of dupes to accept it.

"ICE and CBP must be abolished" is the only reasonable position. We can debate the specifics of new agencies for immigration functions, but these agencies are simply too infected with a culture of impunity, racism, and fascism to continue. They're gangs with badges.

Wow. The incompetence is staggering. This is the Louvre. You’d expect better from them.
A water leak at the Louvre has damaged hundreds of texts, a museum official said, less than two months after thieves quickly made off with French royal jewels, exposing the vulnerabilities of the world’s most visited museum.
First a heist, now a leak. Water damages antique books at the Louvre.
Following a brazen heist of French royal jewels in October, the latest setback has exposed the museum’s creaking infrastructure and the pressing need for upgrades.
