Dear NYT, The only precedent Republicans respect is they and only they get to do what they want at all times. If you bother yourself about keeping track of their stated reasons for doing things, you’re wasting effort. They make up their reasons and discard them when they’re no longer convenient.

The two arresting ICE officers who detained Brad Lander are both immigrants - one, a Pakistani Muslim and the other, Indo-Guyanese. I don't have a followup sentence here.

I am terrified and disgusted thinking about the reports that will come out in the future about what undocumented women have been going through in this country during this time where masked un named men can just throw them in a van

Trump bemoaning an African American Federal holiday, telling Americans we have to work harder. He said this during his back swing during another taxpayer financed round of golf at his own golf course.

Sayed Naser served as a U.S. military interpreter in Afghanistan. Now he’s being deported. The Taliban assassinated his brother and kidnapped his father. All because he helped us. Why are the feds trying to deport him, even though his asylum case is still pending? Not justice, it’s a betrayal.

The tar and feather anger at Harold Hill at the end of The music Man seems misplaced as he already gotten most of the citizens of River City Iowa involved in several rather sophisticated song and dance numbers.

Every day a different Democratic member of Congress should go to an ICE facility to inspect their detention facilities or speak to a detainee—and bring the media. That’s such an easy fight to have.

DHS wants 72 hours notice before inspections of detention facilities. Kind of defeats the purpose, doesn't it?

Every time I post about ICE tactics, I get replies, “This is what I voted for.” Really? You voted for a mother crying for mercy while her child is still in school—about to come out and find her missing? There isn’t another way to go about this that preserves our humanity?

Very often the scariest things about the subways and NYC in general are tourists themselves, expecting a happily densely-populated city to resemble a strip-mall driving, parking lot culture. Ain’t gonna happen. I do love seeing out of town kiddos excited about their first ride on a train!

A national holiday celebrating the end of slavery is considered DEI. SMH. The end of *people owning other people for profit* is too problematic to sponsor a commemoration event or a parade? Fear of a felonious president shows how easily some corporations will betray & obey. 🧾 is.gd/JNoqrd MORE ⬇️

It's interesting that we live in a world where: - I'm surprised Texas Senator Ted Cruz doesn't know basic facts about Iran, but simultaneously - I would also be STAGGERED if the President of the United States knew even one basic fact about Iran.

The idea that we can "easily" overthrow the regime in Iran is a fantasy of people that have never served. Afghanistan is back in the hands of the Taliban after 20 years of slaughter. Iraq still isn't peaceful. Libya is a war zone that's been in civil war since we dropped bombs. History is screaming!

No accountability for Republican depredations, is there? They can commit any crime or cruelty knowing that Congress and SCOTUS will look the other way, and, if push comes to shove, their fascist leader will pardon them.
