I think officers and agents at ICE should be thinking less about the push for quotas and more about the fact that "just following orders" is not a defense when facing a genocide tribunal.
NEW: I spoke to a dozen current and formers about low morale at ICE amid the Trump admin's relentless push for more and more arrests. Officers and agents aren't complaining or looking for sympathy but they're facing public anger & political pressure from above www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...
Trump loves ICE. Its Workforce Has Never Been So Miserable.
A “mission impossible” deportation campaign has left many employees burned out and morally conflicted.

what always kills me about this stuff is that most people won’t even know. they don’t know what happened today, and the direct line between it and their loss of healthcare or what have you. That the misery encroaching on their lives was intentional, and done by people staring them in the eye

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

It’s a terrible bill. It will literally kill people. The most vulnerable among us will suffer as the wealthiest benefit. It’s perverse. I wish there were something I could do. But alas, I am only a U.S. Senator from Alaska whose “no” vote would kill the bill. So I voted yes. You get it.

Dems are speaking more forcefully against Mamdani than literally anything that’s been going on the five months in this administration. It’s really disappointing tbh.

Imagine if the media covered, and got as worked up about, Donald Trump and MAGA’s actual and open antisemitism as they do about Zohran Mamdani’s non-existent and made-up antisemitism. 🤷🏽♂️

I am surrounded by people who are outsourcing their own thinking to ChatGPT and they are quickly and obviously becoming dependent on it for even the most banal tasks. Once again, the "figuring it out" is the important part. Yes, you can use a crane to lift weights but you will not get stronger

Ok so you know how you love those protest signs? Now make them on thin paper and glue them to underpasses and street poles and construction walls and backs of street signs and boarded up windows. Keep your message going. Do some street art.

I truly think it’s too late for America. Social media shows just how many Russian trolls pretending to be Americans pushing the division are so easily believed, liked, amplified and replied to.
Russia have played the A game here.
There is stupidly. Then there’s American stupidity.

Closing rural post offices will do the same thing that closing rural schools has done: Empty out rural towns.
Why? To sell off farmland for rock bottom prices to the oligarchs. Water and mineral rights and CAFOs polluting with impunity.
It’s been the plan for decades.

Every day on the internet makes it abundantly clear that some people have never had a single person turn around and say to them, ‘Cite your sources’ because, and I say this with every ounce of love I can muster as a teacher: while you are entitled to your opinion, that does not make it fact.
