yes! though unfortunately the right/far-right is still massively more powerful in electoral politics than the left in Brazil and that is worrying

Immigrants are a social good, anti-immigrant propaganda is basically all lies, and any approach to the "problem" that doesn't start form those two points is worthless

“Abolish ICE” is the floor

Walker Bragman @walkerbragman.bsky.social · Aug 17

There needs to be a congressional investigation into ICE and its practices. The agency needs to be completely dissolved and its agents and officers need to be prosecuted for any and all crimes committed.

What's so clear here -- and so terrifying -- is that these cops view themselves as Trump's goons and know that Trump will let them get away with anything. www.thehandbasket.co/p/federal-ag...

Did you know? David Lynch was inspired to create the famous 'woman on a bed' recurring image in MULHOLLAND DRIVE after seeing this shot in "Reptile Boy" from Buffy the Vampire Slayer (season 2, episode 5)!

Buffy Summers had a drink at a frat party :(

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.
