Poets!

In the spirit of “no one knows what will work” and “try a diversity of tactics,” ICE hasn’t shown up at Chicago’s immigration court since June 16.

I think about this a lot. It's also why they keep voting foe the person most likely to be the antichrist

If you've been wondering what the troops think about being deployed to L.A., this family will tell you.

An Immigration Lawyer breaks down the motivation behind these detentions.

"Go for the people with phones"

Take care Angelenos. The trash is itching for a fight

"Yes, I'm taking away your health care, which OBVIOUSLY will kill people (do I also need to explain the tooth fairy?) BUT you're welcome to join my death cult."

A fertile woman who's experienced early menopause due to having her ovaries removed. OK, AI.

Well this is fascinating.

It's so easy to prove RFK Jr wrong about everything that you don't even have to work at it.

This thread includes a link to download his attorney's affidavit about what happened. So many innocent victims.

It's not a distraction, Gov. Newsom, it's the frickin' plot.

Also, with 8 billion humans on the planet, falling birth rates are a good thing. As is immigration.

This is devastating for small businesses in the U.S., many of whom rely on patronage from tourists. Tourist towns, like my own, will lose tax revenue and struggle to provide services. That being said, if you don't need to come to the U.S., please don't.

For the win!

Jerry Chen, the best antidote to all the horror in my feed. @jcsalterego.bsky.social

By "home-growns" he means U.S. citizens

This is sickening

Masterful.
