this is all to say that should democrats win the house and senate this november, they should hold similarly dramatic — which is to say televised and highly publicized — hearings on the conduct of ICE and CBP, with testimony from victims. we want as much of *this* as possible in the record. (3/?)
ICE detained Arlit Maria Martinez on her way to work. 2 days later, her 15 yo son died of cancer. They wouldn't let her out to say goodbye. The family had planned to move back to Mexico prior to the cancer diagnosis but stayed for his treatment. Now, Mr Martinez has lost his wife to ICE & his son.
Teen dies of cancer days after mother arrested by ICE: ‘She’s never gonna see him’
The mother's family pleaded with federal officers for her release from custody to say her final goodbyes to her son, but their requests went unanswered.

Trump will finish with even less dignity than Mussolini and Ceaușescu. And his eventual gravesite will become an internationally-acclaimed public toilet. I, for one, will gladly fly from Australia to piss on it, even if I have to crawl over Pete Hegseth's broken vodka bottles to do it. 🦘✊

The USA - UKR relationship is not UNRAVELING…

Trump has stabbed them (and Europe) in the back and any other framing is dishonest.

No American alive today will outlive the shame.

Good mercy,
Samson Cree is a long way from the coast…what’s there knowledge with west coast weather, the risk of coastal marine transportation.

You can’t just vote the fascism away, you’ll need to build from the ground up to make sure it can’t take hold of power again after it’s defeated and that starts by overhauling the current system that rewards wealth hoarders over the well being of the community and nation. #3E #BindingChaos

Yes Joe, really. It was Trump's premier election promise and you endorsed it. You don't get to wash your hands of it. You're a fascist, Joe.

Last year Microsoft made $88 billion (that's billion, with a B) in profit on $245B in revenue. That's a 36% profit margin. The idea that they have to put 9000 people out of work in order to improve profitability is absolutely ghoulish. This is not a struggling company, they're swimming in profit.
