The current regime took a week to abolish USAID, which is three times as old and was not in the news every day for brutalizing children

I once bought a book that was a collection of Edge Foundation associates answering the question “has the Internet changed the way you think?” and it was the most boring, least intellectual thing I’ve ever read. A lot of “I guess I use this to grade papers”

RFK Jr on what he'll eat during the Super Bowl: "I am on a carnivore diet so I just eat meat and ferments, and I'm very happy with that. So I'm probably going to have yogurt."

I've written about the overarching post story, causes, underlying pattern. But the failure of Lewis or Bezos to even show up, literally or figuratively, on a day of devastating cuts epitomizes the profound lack of character and accountability that is so common place today within the American elite.

ICE hasn't stopped brutalizing people or shredding the Constitution, it's just that corporate media turned the camera as the call for action got too loud and the Democrats stepped in and made sure the issue got changed.
If you sit for a second, you'll recognize that's what happened with BLM, too.

Not ICE, but CBP.
ICE is terrible, but CBP is orders of magnitude worse. In many ways, abolishing or radically overhauling CBP is of greater urgency than ICE, but likely tougher to do.
One can argue that ~all of ICE's duties can be reallocated. Harder to say that with CBP.
