I’ve been sitting with this the last few hours. It’s really hitting me just how fucking depraved you have to be to respond to an inquiry about an abducted child with a screenshot of a post on elon musk’s hellsite smearing this kid who has no ability to defend himself. It’s unfathomable.

republicans keep making life worse for working people and better for the rich and then we have elections and they’re like no that’s not true! and people believe them and then they just do it all again and it’s enough to make a rational person feel absolutely fucking insane

So if members of Congress took turns holding vigil in the camp 24/7, from now until who knows when, would that prevent DHS/ICE from bringing people there?

Quote from the NPR article: As for the due process concerns, von Spakovsky said, "Nothing prevents that alien from hiring their own lawyer to represent them.
They are not entitled to have the government - and thus the American taxpayer

It's one (bad) thing for Congress to mostly stand aside while the executive intrudes on its power, it's a whole other (worse) thing to actively undercut its own ability to stand up for its own choices by seeking big cuts to GAO's funding and trying to limit the Comptroller General's power to sue.

‘You ought to be ashamed of yourself having anything to
do with such nonsense,’ said Sam. ‘You used to like the inside
of an inn better than the outside yourself. You were always
popping in, on duty or off.’
‘And so I would be still, Sam, if I could. But don’t be hard
on me. What can I do? You know how I went for a Shirriff
seven years ago, before any of this began. Gave me a chance
of walking round the country and seeing folk, and hearing
the news, and knowing where the good beer was. But now
it’s different.’
‘But you can give it up, stop Shirriffing, if it has stopped
being a respectable job,’ said Sam.
‘We’re not allowed to,’ said Robin.
‘If I hear not allowed much oftener,’ said Sam, ‘I’m going
to get angry.’

In Trump’s America, wealthy criminals are pardoned, poor innocents are arrested While ICE patrols court houses for law-abiding immigrants, Trump's friends get a free pass.

New — I wrote about the injustice unfolding before our eyes as rich reality stars are pardoned for their crimes while law-abiding immigrants are rounded up and caged by ICE, and the way communities are rising up to say fuck no.

African-American history museum in Boston worried about future as its federal grant is cut A museum dedicated to the African-American history of Boston has had its federal grant cut, putting future programs in jeopardy.

"Yesterday, we received notice from the federal government that our grant had been terminated and part of the reasoning was that we no longer align with the White House policies.”
