CBP didn’t exist until the creation of DHS in 2002 as part of post 9-11 right wing fever dream. It became operational in 2003 and effectively has been a bastion of misconduct and human rights abuses every sense.
Throw the whole thing out and start over.

Criminality is so rampant inside CBP that it has seen one of its own agents or officers arrested every 24 to 36 hours since 2005.

I feel guilty on my day off work because I’m usually the one absorbing the energy of our strident coworker, also the jobs that stress her out.

I started with “you should be able to vote if you pay taxes” but I know how it works out for a lot of poor people. So I tried out “voters contribute to society” but that’s hard to quantify and squishy. So just check that people are of age, indelibly dye their fingers, and let everybody vote.

Context: this speech is from SIR THOMAS MORE, a history written, as near as scholars can tell, in the early 1600s by 6 or 7 people including Dekker, Heywood, Chettle, Shakespeare, and Munday.
It was never performed, because Jacobean England was a police state and it was banned by the censor.

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

So on Friday, I sued State's Attorney Burke - not for money, but for justice. Since she is unwilling or unable to prosecute people who terrorized Chicagoans for weeks, I am requesting the appointment of a Special Prosecutor who will. That is the only relief I am requesting. (Cont.)

The Epstein emails should really end the debate over whether society should have billionaires. "Do you want there to be a class of people so powerful they can fuck your kids and no one will even try to do anything" seems like an easy sell if everyone in politics wasn't trying to get on their payroll

The officer who shot Alex worked for DHS for 8 years. The officer who shot Renee worked for DHS for over 10 years. Both are considered “highly trained.”
The problem isn’t "training." DHS was built to violate our rights and has been empowered to act with impunity. We must MELT ICE and dismantle DHS.

FROM 2020:
Jeremey “Mohawk” Johnson participated in the “Defund CPD & Abolish ICE” protest. That evening, he disappeared, last seen being taken by police.
“It feels like they’re trying to make an example out of me because they want to scare other protesters.”

Reminder: All it would take to end the murder of American citizens by an untrained government goon squad is 16 Republicans in Congress voting with Dems to defund ICE (or 23 to impeach and remove Trump — 3 in House & 20 in Senate). That’s it. 23 Americans can vote for the public and end all of this.

My grandmother’s family was murdered in the chambers of Auschwitz. She survived and told me never let it get that far. Make them shoot you in public before they murder you in hiding. Stand up for others. Never cave in fear of the Nazis or the holocaust will happen again.

You could actually structure your moral code around the idea that law enforcement doesn't exist to execute people. You don't have to create perfect victim narratives, you can just refuse to accept that the state gets to kill people.

It’s tempting to imagine that we might, with some guardrails or restraints, slow the pace of evil to one we might more comfortably ignore. But making the work of rounding up our neighbors of color just tidy enough to be palatable must not be our solution.
It's simple: the DHS bill isn't going to pass if its lawlessness isn't reined in.
Democrats sought common sense reforms in the Department of Homeland Security spending bill, but because of Republicans’ refusal to stand up to President Trump, the DHS bill is woefully inadequate to rein in the abuses of ICE. I will vote no.

The newest video shows very clearly that they attacked him for coming to an aid of a woman that the agents pushed, and then executed him while he was immobilized. Everything the government has said, like with Good, has been a complete lie.

Once again: Focusing on their lack of training is a mistake. With "better training," their violence would simply cost more, and they would still kill whoever they wanted, but make it look more professional — to make people more comfortable, the way many of you are at ease with local police violence.
