The human warehousing, as Marisa accurately names it, is a very big deal.

The stakes in my job were never even a fraction as high, but boy, I feel for her. It makes me want to go find her and take care of her.

Watching the BOP goons giving illegal orders to observers and journalists is such a perfect illustration of why the Democrats’ proposed compromise is ridiculously inadequate. I tried to call my senator AGAIN just now and was disconnected twice. I’m distraught.

Thanks, I forgot about that. The impact on my state is huge.

I am a lifelong Democrat and I expect so much more of you.
This isn’t going to stop the violence and lawlessness. Stand up for the people you claim to represent.
DHS doesn’t need a new ‘code of conduct’ or a reminder that Judicial warrants are required by law.
Any funding will be used to harm us.
