Holy shit.

I have faith in our nieces and daughters, I think they will indefatigably find their way into college and away from forced marriage. They will force their way forward just the same way we did

Shut down all of these concentration camps and provide everyone inside with medical care and US citizenship as reparations, if they want it.

“Triple-tap” here means the IDF bombed the journalists at the hospital and then bombed emergency responders not once but TWICE:

Two people are sitting on stools at a food counter while the counterman looks on. The right-hand person is a small boy, the left-hand person is a masked ICE agent regarding him suspiciously. The allusion is to a well-known Norman Rockwell picture with young boy and kindly cop

Once he was taken to an ICE holding facility at Ft. Snelling in suburban Minneapolis, Castañeda Mondragón said officers resumed beating him. Recognizing that he was seriously hurt, he said, he pleaded with them to stop but they just “laughed at me and hit me again.” “They were very racist people,” he said. “No one insulted them, neither me nor the other person they detained me with. It was their character, their racism toward us, for being immigrants.”

He pleaded with them to stop but they just “laughed at me and hit me again.”

“They were very racist people,” he said. “No one insulted them, neither me nor the other person they detained me with. It was their character, their racism toward us, for being immigrants.”

To remember the wrong done, forever, forever

lots of people (on Both Sides™) had fun with Trump's “transgender operations on illegal aliens that are in prison” debate line without stopping to think, even for one second, about the humanity of the actual people involved

“They’re basically torturing people into signing off on their own deportation,” said one attorney.

Superb, deeply reported story, via @charpentier.bsky.social

I can't reproduce that. Do you have a test case?

stand by to repel fking boarders ... with it typed out at full length with no dots. No dots for ICE 👎

at the end she thanks the guys in unmarked vehicles for their service

The Trump regime will never forgive or stop trying to punish people for the cruelties it has already committed against them.

Still only a pawn in their game
