Horrifying.

Spot on. This is the clearest explanation I’ve seen. It ‘s relatable, and humanizes the issue in a way everyone can understand.

That would be great. Thanks.

Has anyone collected information on the buses sent from Texas by Gov Abbott: I am looking for the number of buses, the date, and the destination city. Thus far, I have seen some discussions in @texastribune.org but no data. Thanks.

@danielmcdowell.bsky.social....in the unlikely event you have not see this.

We see how well this worked when Biden named, or was thought to name, Harris as Border Czar.

Trump’s Day One Executive Orders Revived Immigration Policies From His Last Four Years in Office, and Went Beyond ProPublica and The Texas Tribune took a snapshot of the blitz of executive orders President Donald Trump has signed since taking office, by tallying nearly three dozen from his first day.

I will stack up the playlist from my Politics of Immigration against any and all comers. I mean, aside from the GOAT (Dr Springsteen to you and me), I've got two versions of Promised Land, two versions of When the Levee Breaks, some great blues...even some country

The Pogues: Thousands are Sailing
Paddy O'Gorman: The Land of Green and Gold.
Christy Moore: City of Chicago
