I constantly say β€œthey say it couldn’t be done” after I do some very simple household task

On the same day they launched a kit celebrating a black woman, they told us we can’t display our Black Lives Matter flag anymore that we’ve used since 2023. @stlcitysc.com has picked the side of the oppressor.

I am deeply concerned about Liam and every child at the Dilley Detention Center.

No parent should have to worry about whether their child is eating, getting medical care, or deteriorating in detention.

What I saw was alarming β€” and unacceptable. Liam must be released immediately.

What ICE is supposed to do:

Nothing. Abolish It. Prosecute the criminals.

The officer who shot Alex worked for DHS for 8 years. The officer who shot Renee worked for DHS for over 10 years. Both are considered β€œhighly trained.”

The problem isn’t "training." DHS was built to violate our rights and has been empowered to act with impunity. We must MELT ICE and dismantle DHS.

I'm still thinking of the fact that Zohran Mamdani went on The View, said "abolish ICE" and then got a round of applause

The original graph appears to be excluding the 10-20% so it won’t add to 100%

Ya we’ll see what happens when Vazquez gets back

But also I still don’t know what Owens ideal role is in the team. We kinda need to figure that out haha

I’d move out obrian and kolmanic and bring in an attacking mid and a winger. Specific players I have no idea. It’s a big world haha

What we’ve seen from him is great negotiating and depth building. But ya we need some home run DP signings to become a contender. I think Vazquez could still be one if he comes back full strength

A woman recording an ICE agent tells him "Shame on you."

The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?"

"Learned what?" she asks

Then he knocks her phone out of her hand

Ahh my former congressman. Man was too afraid to ever show his face in austin to his constituents in his super gerrymandered district. So yeah checks out he doesn’t give a shit about listening to people with legitimate grievances
