Trump Names Thomas Homan as Acting Immigration Enforcement Chief (Published 2017)

Does the President appoint all civil servants or just political appointees?

Appointees are absolutely not allowed to express stupid ideas without getting fired.

In 2015, the Obama administration awarded him a Presidential Rank Award as a Distinguished Executive. The Washington Post wrote, "Thomas Homan deports people. And he's really good at it."

Make it make sense.

ish.

By 2014, under the Obama administration, Homan began to argue that separating children from their caregivers would be an effective way to discourage illegal border crossings.

It wasn't unknowable that he was awful. Obama ought to have fired him.

I don't like to talk about stories before they are fully reported, but I am writing on ICE in a Minnesota town that isn't Minneapolis. However bad you think it is, it is worse. It is a campaign of pure terror whose only strategic goal is more terror. There is no strategy other than to break people.

that helps zero.

Obama appointed Homan to DHS. It was a catastrophic lapse in judgement by his Administration.

That's the point.

stunning how bad Democrats are at this

We're getting a snowstorm tomorrow. But New York City is prepared.

Wise words from WEB DuBois to gird us today: "It would be shame and cowardice to surrender this glorious land and its opportunities for civilization and humanity to the thugs and lynchers, the mobs and profiteers, the monopolists & gamblers who today choke its soul and steal its resources."

David Brooks: This is a war on blue states
Bill Kristol: Abolish ICE
Springsteen: ICE is the Gestapo
Dems in Congress: Let’s talk body cams and QR codes

Which elected Democrat has defended Mangione? Which elected Republican has not defended ICE'S murder of Good? @chatterton.bsky.social

The only ax to grind that I have is against lazy thinking, of which this post is great example. You are equating the lionization of Mangione by a small number of Americans — in a manner no different from classic veneration of the outlaw — with propaganda in defense of state-sanctioned murder.

Corporate dems when we tell the truth

on 22 february 1943 sophie scholl and her friends were executed by guillotine by the nazi regime. in court scholl said this:

"Somebody, after all, had to make a start. What we wrote and said is also believed by many others. They just don't dare express themselves as we did."

THIS IS A SCHOOL, WHY ARE THEY SHOOTING

Please leave the nazi porn bar site.

@governorwalz.mn.gov: You no longer have anything to lose politically

It's not fair that anyone should have to endanger themselves and their families by being the first, but please be the first anyway

Please be the first governor to call the National Guard to deal with this emergency

@thecity.nyc

Yes yes yes

Just because the Republican Party is trying to wreck state capacity doesn’t mean that we have to go along and help. Private charity will never be a substitute for public works.

Wild scenes. Absolutely wild. My brain can't comprehend this kind of behavior

Self awareness is a hell of a drug

Officially Celebrated Serious Thinkers despise contingency because it makes almost all of their sober expounding absurd. No one can predict the future, not even a little. The past did not predict the present, not even in hindsight. Stuff just happens. You can only ever look backwards.
