I'm just going to point out that ICE is about 23 years old. It was formed as part of the response to 9/11 and was reactionary, performative, and racist from the start.
Its not eternal. This is not a thousand-year Reich.

I see a lot of people blaming the comics industry for the 6-figure debt that Peter David’s medical struggle put him into. But please, please don’t forget to blame the United States, where not having affordable health care is a personal failing not a community issue.

This past week, the Chinese learned
1) exactly where Trump's pain points are;
2) how much to squeeze them before he flinches;
and
3) how little America's partners and allies want to help this president.
Highly useful information.
