β€œI am somebody” shaped how millions of us saw ourselves as kids, including me. That message mattered. It still does.

We should require immigration detention to be at least a 3 star hotel with full communication access and support. It’s not prison, and should rarely be required or used

I use β€œkicking puppies” as a throw away example of wrong behavior in my ethics classes, but I guess that’s partisan now?

Trump: β€˜We should take over the voting’ Trump, as usual, offered no evidence for any of his claims.

Epstein’s economic power among academics was made possible by a capitalist system that makes higher education dependent on the charity economy rather than a public good supported by taxing the rich

Maybe the training needs to include a six week unit on critical race theory and another month on human rights law. Maybe a prerequisite stint in the Peace Corp?

Could there be a bill to offer amnesty to any ICE agent that has not committed assault and that agrees to quit by the end of February as well as to testify about ICE activity in any future criminal investigations? Who would sponsor that? I don’t want to shirk accountability, just encourage quitting

On both the Renee Good and Alex Pretti situations: If the federal agents ever had to go under oath in front of jury questioned by a real lawyers about what they did they would get absolutely destroyed. They are only getting away with this because the govt won’t allow that.

Torture. Refoulement. Degrading and inhuman treatment. Failure to recognize some as a person before the law on the basis of nationality or race.
All crimes daily committed by ICE. #AbolishICE
Also sentence them all to handwrite one hundred copies of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights
