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!!!

Bring back everyone who was sent from the U.S. to CECOT in El Salvador. No one should be sent there. ALL their rights were violated. ALL of them should come home.

The Smart People said "Abolish ICE" was too radical. Then ICE kidnapped students, sent innocent people to a mega prison, broke into a car to take a mom from her daughter, and tried questioning elementary kids while lying that they had parents permission. Ask yourself: which part is more "radical"?

I find the current political situation impossible to parse except as a global community of shithead gangster bosses doing odious favors for each other. Domestically and internationally, that's the only ideological through-line. Bossism, fascism, sure, but finally it's just Epstein Island everywhere.

Former NSA cybersecurity director Rob Joyce told Congress probationary firings will devastate U.S. cyber defences. Big point here: "probationary" can still mean experienced operators who simply changed federal jobs and are on probation in the new role. #infosec cyberscoop.com/joyce-china-...

NEW: JD Vance describes UK & French troops in Ukraine as “20,000 troops from some random country that hasn’t fought a war in 30 or 40 years”. Spits in the face of UK & EU troops that died supporting the US in Iraq & Afghanistan. So revealing. The Atlantic alliance & “special relationship” is dead.

I've read most of the analyses of the DOGE 2025 "receipts" site. This, from NPR, is the best I've read so far. Some of what they claim to have cut haven't been cut, other "cuts" will incur costs down the road. NPR says DOGE has made $2B of cuts, not $55B. www.npr.org/2025/02/19/n...

NYC is supposed to be a sanctuary city—but Eric Adams is letting ICE into Rikers to detain people before they get their day in court. This isn’t about public safety. It’s about criminalizing immigrants and quid pro quo. We have to fight back. #AbolishICE #SanctuaryCity youtube.com/shorts/JrvX-...

Adams must be removed. The city cannot sustain being governed for nearly a year by a Mayor who is being coerced by Trump admin in order to escape charges. This corruption poses a real threat to the people of the city. He should have resigned a while ago, but will not. So it’s time for him to go.

Fox ran a superbowl ad from Kanye for a website that, then and now, is selling only one thing: a white tshirt with a black swastika printed in the middle of the chest. It hasn’t attracted much coverage or comment at all outside of progressive spaces like this. But it’s nuts.
