People can have different political opinions about immigration policy. Political differences are fine, healthy for a democracy.
But if you’re okay with this, that’s not a political opinion. That is a moral failing.

These are the conditions under which the Trump regime wants to detain noncitizens indefinitely. It violates international law, the Eighth Amendment, and our own laws & regulations.
And the DOJ and DHS are willing to manipulate any law, defy any court order, to keep doing so.

Legal status doesn’t matter: if you exceed ICE’s melanin threshold, you get snatched. It is ethnic cleansing. There is no other word for it.
The news has shown you video of these often violent detentions. What you don’t see is what happens to these individuals after.

In other words, the Feds relied on perjury to bring charges against the people they scapegoated in an attempt to justify their illegal gunfire at protestors who posed no risk of imminent violence.

The measure’s documentary proof of citizenship requirements to vote would particularly burden the roughly 69 million married women who took their husband’s name — a group that leans to the right.

For those of you keeping score at home, the actual cut to the Post newsroom was 45%, not the widely reported one third. Remaining journalists are a bit over 400, down from around 1100 four years ago and 580 when Bezos bought the place.
