Yet another ICE homicide that will never be counted as one.

I think it’s time for Democratic leaders to start saying β€œif you’re a pilot or ground crew involved in a deportation that was stayed by a judge, you’ll be held criminally liable for human trafficking.” Everyone involved in these flights should have that fear in the back of their minds.

So well done. Makes clear in just a couple of minutes why Schumer and Jeffries' ideas for siphoning even more billions of our tax dollars to ICE are not merely ineffective, but would fuel more suppression or protest.

This may be useful fodder to post on FB, Twitter, and right wing sites without saying a single word about the horrific human rights abuses of DHS and ICE

Putting "abolish ICE" on my car's back window generated loads of friendly honks and comments -- I encourage that, too (will resume after this throwback Vermont winter wanes)

Mark, I'm considering writing about this and I'd be grateful to know if you've ever seen an instance of NYT quoting Trump in like this.

It seems like the deliberately false headline claim that Dems are demanding "new restraints" is an even worse offense. Judicial warrants have been required for anything like an ICE home invasion since the Bill of Rights was passed.

When it happens at a major MMA event. we'll know the Trump Regime is about to fall.

And yet the mass media continues publishing stories saying ICE, CBP and the Trump Regime engage in "law enforcement."

Good rule of thumb: few people remain a billionaire without being narcissistic to the point of evil. To constantly choose to horde that level of wealth instead of saving and improving countless lives is...a choice.
(Some slack for McKenzie Scott and whoever else consistently gives away billions.)

On top of the disgrace of our government letting innocent children die, @npr.org publishes shameful subhead blaming the victims.

Absolutely, I wouldn't trust Bezos or Amazon Inc. not to try it again, but folks need to know returning a purchase hurts the company enough to make them backtrack

And Trump's determination to worsen the global destruction is getting less attention from the Post (and, to be fair, most media) than Nancy Guthrie.

It's taken far more than protest and I'm concerned about reporting Trump Regime claims as truth. Minnesotans already are suffering from the myth that ICE backed off after their killing and maiming spree. Let's keep the donations flowing and get verification from locals before celebrating.

This line perfectly encapsulates why Trump Regime become more unpopular by the day in rural areas where ICE thugs appear. β€œWe live too close together. If we started drawing lines, you wouldn’t have any friends left. You wouldn’t have community.”

Please think through your language before publishing. EVERY president tries to influence midterms. Trump is the first to try CORRUPTING the process.

Yes. And if they had bodycams on during this vicious attack, the footage absolutely would have been lost due to some "system malfunction."

Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientistβ€”because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.

Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...
