A fake ICE tip line reveals neighbors reporting neighbors A Nashville comedian’s deportation hotline, set up as a joke, has gone viral among viewers who say it shows the β€œbanality of evil personified” in the U.S. immigration crackdown.

I had this exact concern myself, and if you click through, you’ll see that their solution is that they actually plan to build their own wastewater treatment plant next to the warehouses.

Again, these things are going to be WILDLY expensive, but Congress gave them the money so that’s not a problem.

I've said this before but I worry people are losing sight of what is actually happening by catastrophizing a new Holocaust which I do not see as likely.

The ongoing harm is mass deportation itself; the terror communities go through during roundups, the families torn apart, and the lives disrupted.

Revealed: Epstein cultivated relationship with CBP officer, causing US investigation Guardian review of US justice department files reveals Epstein interacted with six CBP officers. The officer investigated denied any knowledge of trafficking underage girls

"We Brooklyn Boys stick together," one CBP supervisor texted Epstein.

Loathe thy neighbor: Elon Musk and the Christian right are waging war on empathy Trump’s actions are irreconcilable with Christian compassion. But an unholy alliance seeks to cast empathy as a parasitic plague
