The Act was always imperfect and remains so. It could use another serious look. But we are so immersed in hateful bullshit right now that rationalizing immigration law seems impossible.

MAGAts are so immersed in racist ideology that they're not thinking straight about immigration. The boomers are aging. We will need more workers, skilled and unskilled, than we have. Read about the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986, signed by Pres. Ronald Reagan, which recognized this.

Thanks for helping me see exactly why Oz's statement ticked me off.

Thank you. The imprecision of others' language on this matter seems to have needlessly infuriated many.

This is a smart, credible analysis of what we face, with persuasive, reasoned comparisons of Trump/Miller's actions to the tyrannical tactics of Hitler, Stalin and Putin.

Easy answer. They can't find anyone espousing Jennings' politics who does add something intelligent to the conversation.

Interested to see how the GOP defends ICE funding now.

The Epstein files will be useless unless there is incontrovertible proof that Trump knew he was a party to, or beneficiary of, child sex trafficking. I find it impossible to believe his partisan DoJ would release anything implicating him, rather than bury it in redactions. Hope to be wrong.

Wondering what safeguards against purposeful omissions exist. Can’t get very excited about this because DoJ’s priority is Trump, not the truth.

Contemporary psychoanalysts might have some things to say about the causes of the underlying insecurities implicated in these behaviors.

Media is doing the credulous "new tone" thing again—as with Trump on Russia-Ukraine—presenting BS about MN/Good/Pretti/ICE as sincere.

But as @gregsargent.bsky.social argues, govt actions matter more, and Trump's rhetorical shift is an effort to maintain the brutal ICE/BP campaign, not curb it.

This is how I know it's a bad day for the country: I find myself reposting everything credible that I've not seen before, because everyone needs to understand the breadth and depth of corruption and evil in our government. Preaching to the choir here, but we all must stay white-hot angry.

Oil proceeds are going into a private account in Qatar that US Treasury cannot block. The entire arrangement is grotesquely illegal and corrupt. Rubio's answers are dissembling. And we can't seemingly even get intelligent questions for him. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Friends: While ICE leaves cities reeling and families scarred by their violence, Republicans want to fund trump's gestapo instead of funding healthcare for millions.

Let's get 1,000 quick reposts and replies with #FundHealthcareStopICE to make it trend.

Please and thank you! 🙏💪

need a clean shirt this one’s got coffee on it

DOJ says it will finish Epstein files review 'in the near term' after combing through millions of pages In a court filing Tuesday, the Justice Department declined to provide a specific date for when it would conclude the review and redaction process for files related to Jeffrey Epstein.

The bullshit is powerful in this one, Obiwan.

My funny bone has seen little action lately, but this one hit. Thank you!

Sending ICE to watch the Melania movie could really solve two of Trump's problems at once.

Yes. Also a finer point: Judicial warrants are necessary….administrative warrants signed by ICE supervisors clearly don’t serve the purpose

While this is a good start, I think there needs to be something in the new law about ICE not targeting legal immigrants without criminal records, and making clear what the mission is.

We have to attack the outrageous fiction that Trump-Miller are targeting only criminal migrants.

All good ideas. Thank you for sharing. Friendly amendment: JUDICIAL warrants must be required…I understand ICE has been relying on administrative warrants, which are nonsense. As we have seen.

Sending Greg Bovino out of MN is a start, but is Tom Homan any improvement at all? Seems to me they’re both despicable lying lawless corrupt lowlifes….perhaps necessary qualifications for anyone whose job is to make human lives miserable.

Carney deserves our gratitude for not falling for this utter nonsense.

A day will come when Donald Trump no longer dominates our politics.

Even though this is obvious, it’s hard to keep in mind.

The future will belong to those who can think clearly about what happens next.

Strong but much needed words from European officials over Greenland.

Not an oversight. Miller.

Yup. I am assuming, though, that Miller remains the toady with respect to some ideas, like the Nobel Prize and Greenland. These are just manic, as opposed to all the calculated domestic actions.

There is an area in the ICE detention center in Minneapolis designated specifically for American citizens. Contemplate that for a minute.

Here is an aspect of violence against all Minnesotans about which it seems little has been written -- people avoiding health care for fear of ICE. U. of MN has documented that here: www.cidrap.umn.edu
Sorry that I am too inept to link properly to the piece.

Minnesotans are delaying medical care for fear of encountering ICE. Guess who suffers the most - infants and children, that's who.
