Haley Stevens out here literally doing the "more women prison guards" meme

Wishing a meaningful & reflective Mark Wahlberg 40 Day Challenge to all who observe.

The whole thing where SGA pushes off and the announcer like scoldingly goes "mwell you may not like it but that's legal" drives me insane. Very Ygglesias-ian

I thought for sure this was an old quote. He said this statement this morning.

Trump came groveling to Schumer, skywriting that the Democrats had all the leverage. Schumer's reaction was to immediately cave, keeping the government open and DHS funded for two weeks while Trump's minions could get their ideological house back in order, on the eve of another major ICE/CBP surge.

Video from this morning shows ICE agents deploying tear gas outside a Minneapolis preschool as parents shout, “This is a preschool! There’s kids here!”

They ‘Had Done Everything Right.’ ICE Detained Them Anyway.

We profiled refugees who:

Arrived in the country legally.

Applied for green cards.

Were arrested by ICE and detained.

One refugee who was arrested found out they got their green card after being released.

This is an unprecedented operation.

Genuine question about Senate Democrats' new demands re: DHS funding:

What reason is there to believe that, even if they were passed, the Trump administration would comply?

as an American Jew, I can't imagine talking about "legal" immigration and the Holocaust this way

restrictive American immigration laws passed in the 1920s doomed countless Jews who could've otherwise escaped occupied Europe. my family got out via Cuba and Argentina, they were the lucky ones

I need a job and I would not take a job working for Bari Weiss. If you are a commentator who cannot see what the play is there, I'm not sure you should be offering commentary.

Washington Post: Trump softens tone on Minneapolis violence amid calls for accountability The White House changed leadership in Minnesota and softened its tone on dead protesters as polls show Americans turning against ICE.

Semafor: Trump softens tone on Minneapolis shooting

AP: Trump administration shifts tone on fatal shooting in Minneapolis

Axios: NEW: Trump spent Sunday lamenting his administration’s botched response to the Alex Pretti shooting, including news conferences by Greg Bovino and Kristi Noem in which they seemed “callous” about the man’s death, a confidant who spoke with Trump told Axios.

Trump is not doing this and the media is lying to you because they want to take him to the dance and kiss

UPDATE: After seeing this video, I informed ICE of my intent to visit the Baltimore facility today. I was told I would be denied entry.

It’s clear Trump's ICE would rather engage in a cover up. I will not stop pressing until we get answers. We need transparency & accountability.

If a non-citizen neighbor gets kidnapped by ICE, you supposedly have about 4-5 hours to file a habeas petition in Minnesota to prevent ICE from shipping people to Texas. They are moving people that quickly regardless of whether or not they have legal status.

getting feds to say shit like this on camera with their face exposed is NUTS -- you can not reform this agency, everyone involved must go, there is no practical way to root out all of these guys

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

You might say the imperial boomerang told him to “suck on this”

appeals to bipartisanship are how you signal to donors youve got their back and to voters that you dont

If they are doing this to white people in broad daylight imagine what they are doing to non-white people in detention facilities.

An insane, perfect encapsulation of it all:

The same day Trump’s agents kill a Veterans Affairs ICU nurse in broad daylight, the CEOs of Apple and Amazon join Trump to watch a private screening of a film about his wife directed by an alleged sexual abuser who was seen shirtless in the Epstein Files

I don’t think a state that is threatening wars of territorial aggression and has random death squads wandering about its mid-tier cities assassinating civilians should be hosting the World Cup

14 minutes ago Mitch Smith Midwest reporter Superintendent Evans said that state investigators had a signed warrant to access the shooting scene, but they were denied access by federal officials. Even though state investigators "were not ave to do really any work at the scene once we had access,"he said, they had been talking to witnesses and seeking videos.

Multiple officials of the US federal government are spending their day rather blatantly obstructing Minnesota law enforcement and covering up a murder.

We don't need body cams for ICE agents. We need to terminate the entire agency.

This is not a high bar to clear. Mexico shut down the DFS because it was cartoonishly corrupt and infiltrated by cartels. Most Americans do not want more foreign intervention and have not for 20 years. The patriot act has always been unconstitutional.

I don’t want to hear anything from an elected official unless it’s a plan to defund the DHS and impeach Noem, Bovino, etc. No texts. No emails. No talk about the economy. Step up or step off.

The entire post-9/11 national suite of legislation that gave us DHS, mass warrantless surveillance, and a blanket justification to bomb or invade anywhere on earth need to be ripped up. Anyone advocating for anything less at this point is an unserious person with no business in elected office

“Trump’s ICE” is the new “access to healthcare” signifier to tell you they don’t actually want to do anything

I would argue there is a throughline here with every Palestinian in Gaza being called a terrorist

He was a nurse.

I have been a lonely crank emailing my senators telling them to remove Schumer for like 6 months now, come on in the water’s fine
