Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.

So, wait. I’m trying to figure this out from the headline:

Was it Trump’s new Greenland threat that made Chinese people less horny? Or was it NATO being pissed that led to the Chinese birthrate drop? And where is the soot coming from???

Help me out here, @jamellebouie.net !

As everyone knows, on January 6, 2021 the USPS was so overwhelmed with strongly worded post cards that they arrived a day late

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.

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.

I’m can’t remember when @merriam-webster.com officially declares the Word of the Year, but so far “fuck” is making a case for 2026 through political discourse.
