🚨Reports around the country today that some people who showed up for their immigration court hearings were told that ICE prosecutors had dismissed their cases — and then were arrested moments later by ICE officers and taken to detention centers for unknown reasons. Happening in multiple cities.
Immigration court has always been the one place I could tell people they could feel safe from ICE enforcement... until today.
I have one trusted report of FIFTY ICE officers swarming a CA immigration court. This hasn't hit media yet but advocates have been hearing reports from around the country.

THIS IS NOT NORMAL: Plainclothes ICE agents are inside the Immigration court buildings at 26 Federal, 290 Broadway & 201 Varick St, harassing people for their paperwork & detaining them. ALL OUT TO VARICK STREET DETENTION CENTER NOW 2 PM TILL LATE: meet at the garage on the West Houston Street Side

If you open the anti-trans HHS report’s appendix in NotePad, you’ll see that it was compiled by Alex Byrne.
The appendix is a rigorous, scientific overview of systematic reviews.

"Liberals just don't remember the last 40 years" is a problem that comes up a lot.
I love how Sarah is so indoctrinated with this "big tent" bullshit that she thinks appealing to people that think we eat babies won't just lead to a party without us. it's like liberals just don't remember the last 40years.
The people who went with “Sarah McBride will actively collaborate with the destruction of transgender rights” turned out to be right.
Incredible that this is our first representation in congress.

the "oh you're a socialist so you must be against technological advances in productivity right?" responded to well here is the kind of weird error about the intellectual history of the left that really only makes sense against the backdrop of the culture wars of the last three decades
Karl Marx lays it out in a great way: it's actually *because* capitalism has advanced production so much (even more true now) that a socialist economy actually makes sense. In capitalism, over production creates crisis in profit, resulting in people suffering literally because we produce too much
