I don't think "affair" is the really right term when he was texting a congressional aide explicit messages and she wrote back "this is going too far, boss"

Opinion | What Exactly Is a β€˜Concentration Camp’?

"Always, always, always concentration camps are an end run around the existing legal system. These people that are getting rounded up because whoever’s in power wants to do something that they can’t do using the letter of the law..."

I hope this is right. There has to be a lot of activism now and through the election to "bend the arc towards justice," though. Do what you can (which is at least a bit more than you think you can).

MSNBC: Do you believe Donald Trump is a racist?

HAKEEM JEFFRIES: If the guy is not a racist, he's certainly doing the best job that he can trying to convince us otherwise

Accountability for ICE and CBP However bad you think the corruption and misconduct at ICE and CBP is β€” the reality is far far worse.

"For much of the 2010s and likely before and since, it appears the crime rate of CBP agents and offices was higher PER CAPITA than the crime rate of undocumented immigrants in the United States."

Something orange and 80 is being is being kicked to the curb. But, sadly, not the *worst* thing that is orange and 80.

There is not a long history of Germans or Scots depicted as Jabba the Hut or Slovenians as snakes, and you KNOW this is not a parallel.

Never mind the jobs you had, tell me five classes you took in college:

* Myth & History
* Rocks & Stars (Geology & Astronomy sequence)
* History of Scientific Ideas (lots of coverage of how the theory of evolution emerged)
* AfroAmerican History (the title then)
* Latin American Civilization

It occurs to me that if these aren't rooted in the values on the cups, they are corrupt.

My anger and my justice seeking are rooted in love and kindness - - when I see cruelty and hate, what I want is justice.

If we love all & want a world of joy & peace, we need to get angry and stop injustice.

I suspect they'll get behind it when they know it will pass in the House and there are Senate votes to convict.

β€œWhen history echoes, we answer.”

A multifaith coalition of clergy is calling faith leaders to Minneapolis Jan 22–23, echoing Dr. King’s Selma telegram and responding to the crisis unfolding now.

Jan 22: grounding & preparation

This is a moderate position and every single democrat including and especially @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social and @schumer.senate.gov should be shouting it from the rooftops.

ICE and MAGA really did bet the farm on all of Minneapolis’s white people going β€œoh yes, please take away our disgusting, evil non-white-foreigner neighbors, oh thank you so much.”

it’s beautiful that they’ve been proven incredibly wrong about that - may the rest of the country do the same.

Arnoldo Bazan, a 16-year-old U.S. citizen, was put in a chokehold by ICE agents.

Agents took his phone, which he tracked to a used electronics vending machine near an ICE detention center.

Yes: ICE is stealing and selling people’s things after brutalizing them. There are no words.
