Here's an enraging story I wrote about today: A lady currently incarcerated in Texas has been taking care of a stray cat. It got sick. Her daughter started a fundraiser to pay for the vet. The prison now has put her in solitary confinement. thebarbedwire.com/2026/01/15/p...
After a Prison Cat Fundraiser Went Viral, Texas Officials Put His Caretaker in Solitary Confinement
“She was crying when she called me,” her daughter told The Barbed Wire. “This is not a place my medically challenged mother should be.”

One thing I am super confident of is they are going to keep supplying reasons for why everyone should support abolishing ICE.

100%. If you want an alternative slogan you can go with "Abolish ICE before they kill again."
the only reason "abolish ICE" is seen as radical is that no one will say it but the far left. if every normie Democrat started saying it tomorrow it would move the overton window so far you'd have to squint to find it. my kingdom for leaders who understand they can shape public opinion.
Democrats officially going all in on the mealy mouthed “ICE needs training” narrative.
No. ABOLISH ICE.

I have come to the conclusion that I just don't like most TV and movie writing. The best I usually hope for at this point that everything but the writing (cinemetography, effects, costuming, audio) creates a vibe that's worthwhile.

Every time you tweet in anger about some centrist memo "warning" Dems not to talk about "Abolish ICE," you're just persuading reporters that the memo is newsworthy and getting the memo's authors the media attention they originally set out to get, thus rewarding them for baiting you.

People really reacting to this without all the details. I am sure there are good and legitimate reasons why President Trump is taking the oil revenue ransom he extorted from Venezuela and is putting into a Middle Eastern bank account that Congress cannot control.
The main bank account holding revenue from the Venezuelan oil sales is located in Qatar.
“There is no basis in law for a president to set up an offshore account that he controls so that he can sell assets seized by the American military,” Sen. Elizabeth Warren.

Crazy: Evangelical leaders are reacting to ICE violence by calling for people to pray...not for the victims, but for ICE and Kristi Noem! Evangelical Mike Johnson is also blaming the victim in vile ways.

Trump carried Bucks county by 274 votes out of 400k in 2024, this dude ran on cancelling the ICE 287(g) contract, so pretty close to an "abolish ICE" platform.
He won against the incumbent by 11 percentage points, or 25,000 votes. Dem strategists are idiots.

BREAKING: Dan Ceisler, the new sheriff of Pennsylvania's Bucks County, just announced he has terminated his county's 287(g) contract with ICE.
Ceisler defeated GOP sheriff who'd joined the ICE program in November, & ran on quitting it; we reported then:
