Abolishing ICE isn’t enough – it’s time to center people’s humanity | Heba Gowayed and Victor Ray
It’s far from radical to reject a system predicated on violence – despite what thinktanks might claim

ICE agents are committing murder in plain sight. Noem must be impeached and arrested.
Update:
The admin is moving to quickly deport witnesses who saw ICE detainee die.
They say the man was just trying to get his meds.
ICE guards shackled him
Then they choked him.
The admin moved to deport the witnesses — right after they spoke to WaPo.

He’s shown more attentiveness to a convicted child sex trafficker than to a mom who was shot in the face by a federal agent.
BREAM: Is the FBI investigating the ICE agent who shot Renee Good?
BLANCHE: What happened has been reviewed by millions of Americans bc it was recorded. We investigate when it's appropriate. That is not the case here. We are not going to bow to pressure. So no, we are not investigating.

Listen to this interview with “Katie Johnson.”

She even describes Trump’s rape fantasy with her (then 13) and another girl “Maria” (also 13) which includes a racist theme where he threatens to deport Maria!

As Ted Cruz urges a seizure that will break NATO, remember the two Senators viewed as orchestrators of Trump's Jan 6 plan were Cruz and Josh Hawley - both political proteges of Peter Thiel. Neither has ever broken with Thiel, or with Trump. Both, like all Thiel avatars, push Putin's interests. 1/
Cruz: "When it comes to Greenland, I want to commend President Trump for being single-mindedly focused on America first... I believe it is overwhelmingly in America's national interest to acquire Greenland... the whole history of America has been a history of acquiring new lands and new territories"

Europe must unite. Send troops. Those countries with borders to Russia should not send troops, rather remain and defend their respective countries because Putin will strike if he can. Just my view of course.

that was us in 2019. we made just enough that we couldn't get assistance, but our credit was too low to get approved for housing. we were homeless for 7 (maybe 8?) months and still working
“The working homeless” is not a myth. They want us to be invisible so they don’t have to answer for what this capitalistic hellscape is doing to us all.
It’s real. We exist. We’re a growing class of people (which is why folks want to look away). And I’ll never be quiet about it.

"how does the GOP plan to address balancing the federal budget if DOGE cleaned house but deficit and federal spending increased?"
