Three Democrats who previously broke with the party and voted with the GOP are now saying they will not vote for the bill. That’s enough for the bill to be unpassable right now.

This is 100% FALSE. Immigration judges do NOT play any role in issuing administrative warrants. They are generated and signed by ICE officers themselves. ICE’s own training materials say they can’t be used for a search of a home!
Here’s a blank warrant form. Note who signs it.

One misconception that needs to end is that we can't be living under fascism because we aren't at the end point of the Nazi regime. But everything has a start. This is an important thread. Please read.
German Jews were citizens of Germany at the start of 1933. By the end of 1933, the Nazis had
removed citizenship from naturalized citizen Jews.
In 1935, all German Jews were fully stripped of their German citizenship.
Citizenship under dictatorships is contingent for targeted minorities.

And one more thing. Students. If you have a professor who is, for some reason, outsourcing their own job to ChatGPT....drop the class.
If they tell you to "ask ChatGPT" for sources, drop the class.
Because they apparently don't know their own discipline well enough to teach it.

This is genuinely psychotic.
One of the stories that makes me the saddest out of this ICE invasion is one out of the Minnesota Star Tribune today about ICE agents eating at a little Mexican restaurant in the small town of Willmar, Minn, —and then, when they were done, arresting some of the workers.

This is the most important part. You need whistles we send whistles. You don't pay, you just get whistles.
We do not accept payment for whistles, and will ship anywhere between 100 and 1000. If you know someone with an org that needs even more than that, they can reach out and we can work with them!
Do not be afraid to ask for 100 whistles if you just want to radicalize your PTA group. WE WANT THAT! 💓

People claiming we need to define 'sex' purely by reproductive biology to save Title IX are missing the point. That narrow definition actually makes it harder to stop discrimination. You remove the broader gamut of gender discrimination in the process. Bostock didn't need a definition!
