“Look, I know it’s your guys’ job to ask, but my answer is the same as always: Jayson won’t be back on the floor until he scores at least an eight on the Mazzulla Logic Meridian, and he’s just not there yet,” a visibly annoyed Mazzulla told reporters
ICE has now spent over half a BILLION dollars just on purchasing warehouses around the country to convert into detention camps.
If these mega-camps are utilized to the full capacity ICE intends, they'll be the largest prisons in the country, with little real oversight. www.ajc.com/politics/202...

Missed this until this morning. Here's what my org had to say about it in 2018: forumtogether.org/article/cens...
ICE's decision to just leave cars abandoned in the roads is one of those dystopian things that makes you recoil in shock when you encounter it.

Suddenly felt like I should share this here today: forumtogether.org/article/qa-b...
Today the Census Bureau released an updated estimate of the US immigrant population in 2024, and it shows that despite all the legal and illegal immigration under Biden, the immigrant share of the US population had grown at the slowest pace for any decade since the 1970s www.cato.org/blog/immigra...
If anything puts the lie to “we’re going after the criminals,” this shocking video should be it. Kudos to the @nytimes.com on a tremendously well done look into the immigrants here on legal visas whom we’re detaining. An absolute must watch: www.nytimes.com/2025/11/17/o...

Important subtext: Hard to oversell how rare this precise Christian coalition is, and how unusually defiant this letter they're signing is.
The Trump-Miller administration's single-minded focus on migration is starting to impact the availability of drugs in the US, according to this detail from a very good investigation @wsj.com published today.

For months, the @bostonglobe.com DC Bureau has been traveling the country, documenting the impacts that Trump administration DOGE funding cuts are having on Americans in all facets of life. We found the cuts had ripple effects, not all of them obvious at first blush. Thread:

Welcome to the era of COVID-booster international tourism.
Props to @miamiherald.com. They're ON the Venezuela TPS news.
Well this one hits hard.
The southern border is now fortified by 16,500 border agents, 3,600 active-duty soldiers, 4,500 Tex. National Guard & 2,200 Natl Guard deployed under Biden. With just 29,000 migrant arrests in Jan., that equates to about one migrant per agent/soldier per month, Adam Isacson of WOLA said. @tucson.com

Wife and me: "Do you know what a 'character' is?"

(Don't miss this one, @beckawall.bsky.social)
If Noem chooses to terminate the Venezuelan TPS designation that will suddenly be set to expire in April again, that could mean around 300,000 people would lose their jobs and deportation protections in a single day.
Another 300,000 would be set to lose the same in September.
Oh advocacy org, if you only knew how many Zooms I already join on Thursday ...
