Los Angeles man demands answers after wife was detained at scheduled green card meeting A man is speaking out and asking for help after his wife was detained by federal agents at the end of a scheduled green card hearing in downtown Los Angeles in early September.

Horrifying— Barbara Gomes Marques went with her US citizen husband and lawyer on 9/16 to a green card appointment at USCIS office in downtown LA where she was tricked into walking down a hallway away from them, was snatched by ICE and never came back. She now faces imminent deportation in Louisiana.

The NPC rattles on for 5 minutes and I love it

High enough numbers do make a difference. At the end of the day these people do need to actually get votes and don’t want to risk losing their positions.

Making up entirely trans high school teams is certainly an insane lie one could tell.

Me too! They can’t leave us hanging like this, I hope new episodes come soon

I’m not quite THAT enthusiastic, but I do always prioritize it while traveling and minimize cab/Uber usage.

I’m constantly forced to choose between “pop corporate” and “upbeat presentation smooth”

This is how it’s done.

There’s something happening in this country.

This is called a press conference. It’s different than a protest.

That’s wonderful, but also we don’t need to “legitimize” groups of people based on how money can be extracted from them. We could just include people because that’s the logical extension of compassion, empathy, curiosity, and humanity.

Hey NYTimes — *now* you’re lighting the beacons? NOW?!? After months of “Sauron: Avatar Of Evil… Or Extreme Uniter?” thumbsucker reporting you’re screaming what we’ve known since 2015? Fuck all the way off.

So here’s my thought: I’m not asking anyone to trust these people. I’m not asking you to take them into your hearts.

But. My personal plan is when someone tells me this, to tell them that they were lied to, and I’m sorry that happened, and they deserve a better leader.

Attorneys General showing some backbone 🫡

Maintaining the spooky ooky brand

The first part makes sense and I think people are wigging out about it not realizing the accounts simply change hands. The second part is fucked.
