this is all to say that should democrats win the house and senate this november, they should hold similarly dramatic — which is to say televised and highly publicized — hearings on the conduct of ICE and CBP, with testimony from victims. we want as much of *this* as possible in the record. (3/?)
ICE detained Arlit Maria Martinez on her way to work. 2 days later, her 15 yo son died of cancer. They wouldn't let her out to say goodbye. The family had planned to move back to Mexico prior to the cancer diagnosis but stayed for his treatment. Now, Mr Martinez has lost his wife to ICE & his son.
Teen dies of cancer days after mother arrested by ICE: ‘She’s never gonna see him’
The mother's family pleaded with federal officers for her release from custody to say her final goodbyes to her son, but their requests went unanswered.

One should assume, if one had not already, that every single thing the GOP has to say about pretty much anything is a lie or fabrication.
“.. On closer inspection, however, it turned out that the image was not a photograph of a real event in Portland, but instead a fabrication created by combining two photographs of scenes that unfolded in South America nearly a decade apart ..”

@mzamore.bsky.social What lessons did Vance learn from his favorite book, LOTR, where the peering into the palantir corrupted you with Malice and fear 🤔
The Trump administration is working with private companies like Palantir to create detailed reports on every American, which could help them weaponize our personal information in their quest to deport immigrants and punish critics.
This is a huge threat to our constitutional rights.

3 years gone. Today would've been our 19th anniversary.
This is my only anonymous space, so I’ll say it here:
I meet with Congress now—a job I’d never have if she were alive. It pays half what I made before. Still, I’ve been accused of using her death for glory.
Sometimes I wonder if they’re right.

The basis of Western law is Habeas Corpus, or, you can't just fucking disappear people.
I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

He did it! Senator Cory Booker 'busted' the record set by Thurman in 1957. I've argued with my fellow progressives about the importance of the filibuster. This is what it's for, to show the American people what we stand for.
