Trump: "Maybe the children will have two dolls instead of 30"

People were responding too well. It's time to go back to what we know works: people who have been in office since 1993 saying "listen up, Mr. Trump's economy is quite frankly fucking disappointing" while holding up an egg.

Whitmer is cooked tbh like Christie hugging Obama except it feels incredible wrong to even attempt to compare what Obama was doing then to whatever the hell Big Retch thinks she is doing with Trump.

The man at left separated the mother and baby at right. The mother is now in Venezuela. Baby daughter, in foster care in the US, exact location unknown. Dad? He's in CECOT prison without trial — because he had tattoos.

This is something that really hurts about our immigration policies. Obama tried to be harsh with deportations so comp immigration could pass in bipartisan fashion. It didn’t; the house wouldn’t even vote on it, and now he is an all time leader in deportations by ICE with nothing to show for it.

we need to think of 'abolishing ICE' as like 'abolishing the Wehrmacht.' Germany still needed an army. Americans will still want some kind of immigration and border authorities. But abolishing the culture, structures, and power-holders of a utterly corrupted and brutal system is important.

Just open, unapologetic racism from the White House per usual. Disgusting people with disgusting views that we should never try and break bread with until their movement is ground into unrecognizable dust.

I really wish every reason who is staying on Substack because they like the features would get this through their heads. You’re being used to launder fascism, guys. You’re allowing yourselves to be used because you like the Live feature and all your friends are there. Get off of Substack. Please.

“We’re upset with ICE but the police are okay,” is a position you can only hold if you’re not aware of how intertwined our local and federal police forces are through shared contracts, spaces, practices, and attitudes. The fusion centers launched in the GWOT are the site of the …fusion of forces.

I just don’t believe that people can’t be moved to preserve govt funding for international aid after reading something like this. It feels like nobody ever even tried until they closed off funding. Otoh, maybe we really are as monstrous as our worst critics describe us to be.

🚨URGENT—Despite the Supreme Court declaring that it would be illegal to deport people under the Alien Enemies Act without giving them a meaningful chance to seek judicial review, the Trump admin is reportedly about to send a group of Venezuelans detained in Texas to El Salvador in a matter of hours!
