The Cynics had five core principles:
1. Ἀρετή (Aretē) – Virtue as the Only Good
2. Αὐτάρκεια (Autarkeia) – Self-Sufficiency
3. Παραρρησία (Parrēsia) – Frank Speech
4. Ἀναίδεια (Anaideia) – Shamelessness
5. Κατὰ φύσιν ζῆν (Kata physin zēn) – Living According to Nature
These are the Way of the Dog.

H.R. 1 dedicated $45 BILLION to detention center expansion and we know that ICE/DHS is ACTIVELY trying to expand their detention capacity in the Seattle area.
That’s why I just introduced emergency legislation to institute a citywide moratorium to stop new or expanded detention centers in Seattle.

I don't have a Facebook account anymore, but if you're one of those folks who keeps one around for whatever reason, here's the company that leases office space to ICE in Tukwila, WA. You know, "just in case you're interested:"

Once again: I will donate $5 to the DNC for every Dem Senator who publicly calls for Chuck's resignation. Consider it, Dems-- you will make $ hand over fist.
This is why there must be a full, independent investigation of every incident that ICE has been involved in. DHS and this administration cannot be trusted to carry out investigations on their own.
And it’s why Democrats are fighting to rein in ICE.

Empty the camps and burn them down. Stockades, then life imprisonment for every staff member at Dilley involved.
That's the mildest thing I can say on main about this.

On Thanksgiving, the immigrant children held at the Dilley detention center gathered in the gym for what they thought was a holiday feast.
The kids salivated over a spread of turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, a family told me.
But the food wasn’t for detainees — it was for the staff.

Absolute Hero. If there's a fundraiser for this person, I will unhesitatingly donate to the "we should set fire to concentration camps" fund.
KMBC: "A woman tried to set a fire at a South Kansas City warehouse that had been rumored as a possible ICE detention center. Earlier today, the company that owns the property confirmed it is no longer moving forward with a sale to the U.S. government."

Democrats should promise, today, that Melania Trump, Elon Musk and Peter Thiel will be stripped of citizenship and deported if the administration advances this effort

This is never the history that all of our historic preservation boards are trying to uplift and sustain into the future.
If you live in Seattle, 140 years ago to the month in Feb 1886, a mob started forcibly rounding up and violently deporting Chinese migrants. This is immediately after a similar mob did the same in Tacoma a few month before.

There are no "good news days" anymore, and I don't trust a damn word out of anyone in this admin's mouth (I'll believe there's a drawdown when my friends in MN tell me there's been one), but it's nice that so far this has been a "*less* bad news/screaming horrors" day.

More than 400 people, including hundreds of citizens, were “sorted” at gun point into racial and ethnic groups by 200 ICE agents who fired flash-bang grenades into cars with people inside, pointed guns at children & demanded their zip tied parents not comfort them. apple.news/Ausdx6kWtT0e...

Henry Cuellar should never hold elected office again. Anyway in the meantime, make your Senators scared of you.
Honestly even Republicans can be moved if they get enough calls. So make sure to do so. Especially make Democrats terrified of their voters if they don't vote no with a bullet on this one

218-213; Rs + 1 Dem (Cuellar) vote yes.
Revised Trump-backed bill requires showing proof of citizenship "in person" to register and slaps photo ID rules to vote.

The legislation would overhaul federal election laws in all 50 states by imposing new voter ID and proof-of-citizenship requirements. But it faces a daunting path in the Senate.

Remember who this administration is and who this party is. The Epstein Class. And Dems know it! They bring up Epstein all the time. So
People say we can't compare this to the Third Reich because of the atrocities but we only found out about the atrocities after the fact when it was all said and done and we're not done with this yet so I am sure the worst stomach churning shit has yet to be revealed.
ICYMI: The US is currently holding three times as many people in immigrant detention as were detained in the Nazi concentration camp system in spring 1939 — six years into the Third Reich, and just before the start of World War II.
