Just a reminder that ICE didn't exist until 2002. It's not some longstanding institution that must be maintained. It was created as a knee-jerk reaction to 9/11, and it could be gotten rid of as easily as it was created.

i agree. the left should promote working class solidarity, which of course means making space for views that harm *checks notes* nearly half the working class
“Those of us on the left should be fighting to improve protections for workers of all races, and thereby for the betterment of people’s material conditions regardless of their views,” Arash Azizi argues:
Why the Cinnabon Story Doesn’t Make Me Happy

Trump’s DOJ can’t stop failing to indict Tish James. In the span of one week, two separate federal grand juries have now declined to re-indict her.

liberal/leftist media is definitely doing their silliest racism over Jasmine Crockett, but this is a syndicated story from the daily caller, Tucker Carlson's news site
Notice the framing here chat, remember how the TL pointed out that Black reps often get labeled as “far left and radical” just by VIRTUE of being BLACK—-they’re even calling her a “squad member” now the same “leftists” are turning on her—-stay. Woke.

New from me: The internet promised the democratization of information, power, and expression. Now there are vanishingly few ways to be online that don't involve being a billboard.

Jeffries: "The border is secure. That's a good thing. It happened on his watch. He wants to claim credit for it, of course he'll get credit for that. In terms of making sure that we actually deal with the issues that matter, including on immigration, there's a lot that's left to be desired."

The administration’s explanation for committing what very well may be a war crime has been so botched and sloppy that it made Paul remember he’s a libertarian. trib.al/CqIdBiX

And on his question of Hegseth’s incompetence or stupidity, the answer seems to be both.

Even by the standards of The Atlantic, this is an extraordinarily weak evidence base for an article.
