Let's be totally clear: "immigration" as a concept is bullshit. It isn't more than 100 or so years old. Human beings have been moving around this planet however they wanted to for millenia before a small handful of folks decided that wasn't OK for some reason.

BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.” They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

RFK Jr. just purged the CDC’s vaccine advisory committee—removing every independent expert and pledging to install handpicked loyalists. This is a direct betrayal of the promise he made to Senators during his confirmation: to leave the committee “without changes.”

7 of 9 planetary boundaries now crossed: “By 2020 the oceans condition were very close to or beyond the planetary boundary for ocean acidification (calcium carbonate levels >20% below preindustrial). The deeper in the ocean they looked, the worse the findings were, the scientists said.”

I am one of *those* people that fully believes that an open border policy, one where everyone can check in, is far more safe and practical than trying to keep everyone else out and forcing anyone into secrecy.

Keep standing up Los Angeles. You are leading the way by example. We need to oppose fascism with every fiber of our being.

I don't care if these monstrous ICE raids are a "federal operation". This is authoritarian violence, plain and simple. Just because Stephen Miller has kidnapping quotas for brown people he doesn't want to see on the street doesn't mean we have to think it's okay.

Seconded. I was already a skeptic about immigration controls to begin with, but reading ‘Open Borders’ and all the evidence detailed within about how open immigration enriches nations with virtually zero drawbacks (except for pissing off bigots) just cemented how harmful and arbitrary they are.

ICE trains its agents to lie constantly about literally everything. Nothing they say is reliable. No charge of obstruction they might levy is legitimate. ICE is a fascist disgrace and should be abolished—immediately.

OP snapped a pic of the stunning City Hall in Nago City, southern Okinawa. The building was constructed in 1981 after a countrywide competition. Nicknamed the "coral reef on land," the design by Team Zoo won the 1982 Architecture Institute of Japan Award for best design.
