I think I'm tired of ICE just being a group of anonymous bullies with powers sanctioned by who?

NEW: Mahmoud Khalil's wife gave birth to their child without him after ICE denied their request to let him be present. “This was a purposeful decision by ICE to make me, Mahmoud, and our son suffer,” Dr. Abdalla said. “My son and I should not be navigating his first days on earth without Mahmoud."

This plays into my theory that the "male loneliness epidemic" is less about women than it is about an primal desire to be at battle that has waned and resurfaced, without any real target. I think men just want to fight.

Almost every line of this story would have been simply unbelievable a few months ago: —Pioneering cancer researcher; —Arrested at airport in Boston; —Now indefinite ICE detention in Louisiana; —"Crime": not declaring some frog-embryo samples for research. Read it. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

This is funny, but also, you highly underestimate the connoisseurs we have become, and peeps are beneath most of us. Unless they are infused. Or made into a smore of some kind.

So the person I’m holding as my own personal hero and source of joy right now is the cranky old guy in the American flag baseball cap at the Chuck Grassley Iowa town hall bellowing in the best Cranky Old Guy voice “ARE YOU GONNA BRING THAT GUY BACK FROM EL SALVADOR” Grassley: demurs “WHY NOT”

A funny thing about cnn asking van hollen if he can say if abrego garcia had never been a member of ms-13 is Dana Bash also literally cannot prove that she had never been one either

I know the protests went well this weekend, and I'm glad to hear/see it. But I'm still clamouring for a national strike. 3-5 days. We have the power.

Hi. I’m autistic. I’ve been a senior leader in big tech for over a decade. I have multiple degrees including a Ph.D. I’ve played football. I write comics, poetry, and music. Autism is a spectrum and shows up differently in people. I was non-verbal, but here’s two words for you, RFK: Fuck you.

41% of babies’ births are covered by Medicaid. 49% of children are covered by Medicaid or CHIP. 62% of long-term care residents in nursing homes are covered by Medicaid. 35% of people with disabilities are covered by Medicaid. HANDS OFF. NO CUTS TO MEDICAID.

This is one of the most heartfelt moments I’ve seen on TV in ages. Watch Katie Phang and Rep. Jasmine Crockett dissolve into tears as Phang bids farewell during one of her final episodes of her show.

Reminder: If a president has immunity for official actions and swears an oath to uphold the Constitution then violating the Constitution can't be construed to be an official action and as a consequence the president does not have immunity to protect him from prosecution for such actions.

Turns out you can shape the agenda with dramatic action and maybe even shift public opinion. Crazy.

Stop calling it deporting, so MAYBE more Americans will get it. "Deporting" is sending someone back, after due process, to the country they came from, where they arrive a free person. This is human trafficking to a foreign torture prison for the rest of their lives. GET THE LANGUAGE RIGHT.

I'm thinking about how tonight was probably the first time Kilmar Abrego Garcia learned that millions of people care about him - the first time he learned that the United States Supreme Court ruled 9-0 to bring him home. I'm thinking what it must mean for him to know, right now, that he isn't alone.

The Dallas ICE office is involved in a mass removal effort targeting nearly 200 people — many without removal orders — scheduled to be deported to El Salvador today. This is not just cruel – it is lawless. I refuse to stay quiet while families are being torn apart, and lives are being put at risk.

This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!

If you’re changing the definition of human rights, it means you plan on violating people’s human rights.

Goldman on Abrego Garcia: "If he had due process he would not have been removed. Then they would've had to go through the process of proving it. This is why due process matters- so you don't make mistakes like this. That you do have a neutral arbiter that decides the law. Not the executive branch."

Today was a win. Abrego Garcia is alive and Van Hollen stepped up. Soak it up. Wins are possible. Let it recharge your hope tank before the next thing.
