ALFORD: We're not doing the drop boxes, which led to a lot of mistrust during the 2020 election

BORIS SANCHEZ: Well, a lot of that mistrust was sewn by the president, who made repeated false claims about widespread election fraud when there was none

So, is anyone in the Epstein files going to get arrested, or is nothing going to happen as usual?

So you're saying ICE is incompatible with the rule of law as practiced in this nation from the founding?

Think I see a pretty easy solution here, champ.

Jane Fonda: "Towards the end of my marriage to Ted Turner, there was so much pressure on him to merge with AOL - I said why - you have such a successful business - he said if I don't become part of a bigger institution, I'm going to get eaten.

This is capitalism - you have to keep getting bigger."

This is what ICE does every day. Hunt little kids who are here legally. They get sent to a place called the “baby jail” in Texas. Very little of it ends up on video like this. But it’s routine. And disgusting.

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

Hear, hear! I don’t give a shit about someone’s immigration status.

I want them all to get citizenship if they want it. I want a legal, tractable and accessible process. That’s all.

Immigrants are not a threat. Racists are.
Remarkable: Majority of working class voters oppose deportations of undocumented immigrants with jobs/no criminal records, per new Marquette data.

Remember how pundits said 2024 meant Dems must become restrictionist to win back working class? I challenge that here:

It's great to live in a country (Canada, Japan, UK, France, Germany, Sweden, Italy, etc.) where citizens don't worry about if the next election will be canceled, if they will be allowed to register to vote, if they will have to stand in line for hours to vote, or if their vote will be counted.

It’s insane to me how a dangerous criminal neo-Nazi like Steve Bannon is barely even mentioned when he’s supposed to be in jail but it’s even crazier how his close personal relationship with child sex trafficking rapist Jeffrey Epstein is basically swept under the rug.

ICE using the same ruse that Ted Bundy used to kidnap people should tell you something.
CCTV footage appears to show DHS agents posing as people having car trouble in order to lure a target out of his house before arresting them. The target comes out and starts helping them before 3 vehicles surround the scene. The car "experiencing" trouble then drives off with them.
