Rockwell would have painted this.

I don’t think it’s that she fears no consequences; I think it’s the opposite. The second she admits the truth, Trump - or Miller, rather - will end her, and she knows it; and she also knows she can’t switch sides. She’s a snarling animal backed into a corner with nowhere to go. She’s terrified.

I’ve watched a lot of congressional hearings over the last 40 years. This performance by Bondi is the single most unprofessional, non-responsive, reprehensible and obnoxious I have ever seen from any witness who has testified before any committee of either chamber.

Children ending up in the ICU. Children trying to end their lives. Children refusing to eat and drink because the food has worms and the water makes them sick. Children held for 8 months or longer. These are the kids ICE holds at Dilley. They’re pleading to be let out.

ICE has had decades to become this harmful. If we are comparing ICE to Nazi Germany, then we also much admit that our collective culture in the US has been complicit with the agenda of the Nazis in America… for almost 25 years, atp.

In an alarming development, it appears the UK Government covered up a massive spike in trans youth suicides after restrictions. Then covered it up again when caught. Now, after fighting for years, the data is public: trans suicide increased 5x in the country. Subscribe to support our journalism.

As others have aptly pointed out, police forces have been murdering people for a long time, especially POC. This terrorism from ICE is only a continuation and newest version of what we have been seeing for a long time.

A desperate plea sent to me by a Minneapolis resident who's been on the front lines since the beginning of the ICE occupation:

It doesn’t get any more disgusting than this.

ICE told nurses this Minneapolis man “purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall.” What actually happened is that they pulled him from a car, beat him so viciously with a steel baton that he had 8 skull fractures, 5 life-threatening brain hemorrhages, and couldn’t remember he had a daughter.

Throughout the ICE raids, local and state police who answer to Democrat politicians have consistently done the dirty work to enable ICE to continue its campaign of ethnic cleansing. Politicians who talk about "maintaining order" are complicit in this campaign of terror. It's up to us. Just us.

I cleared and cleaned the fridge and I think we might be what the kids call an ingredient family 😂

‘One officer told me that I "had no chance of returning to Minnesota" and that "the best thing for (me] is self-deportation." … She offered me $2600 to self-deport. I refused. I wanted to talk to my attorney. They didn't tell me the judge had already ordered my release and return to Minnesota.’

the K-drama I’m watching has developed a case of Everyone Is Terminally Stupid Disease at the finale, but as it’s been a silly but enjoyable bit of copra (cop opera) the whole way through, this isn’t tonally dissonant with what came before and is thus bearable. still stupid! but contextually so.

At this point, I think the entire publishing industry needs to have a serious conversation about the degree to which the last 15 years have increasingly seen book promo become an online venture, and what that means now that entire social media and digital platforms are getting torched overnight. 🧵
