NEW: ProPublica went inside the detention center for immigrant families in Dilley, Texas.

Children held there told us about the anguish of being ripped from their lives in the United States and the fear of what comes next.

It’s seriously past time to just have a fucking binding referendum that automatically enacts statehood upon completion of a vote. There’s really no good argument otherwise.

crickets from the free speech crowd, of course

“A letter tossed over the detention center fence said they’ve been held 290 days… haven’t had a single piece of fruit… no pain meds…”

This kind of smart, walkable, mixed-use urbanism is illegal to build in most American cities.

Remember when "America has many groups of people in it and that's good and makes us strong" was an uncontroversial - even cliched - viewpoint that was universally endorsed across the political spectrum?

We can go back! We just have to get rid of the tiny handful of bitter, angry men in the way.

Republicans: everyone must be able to carry any gun at all times,
up to and including high powered rifles, to protect themselves against tyranny

also Republicans, without batting an eye: carrying a gun is unquestionable justification for federal agents to shoot you dead in the street

FAMU can't use the word Black on anything posted around campus related to Black History Month, to stay in compliance with Florida state laws against DEI. Black students can't use the word Black at their Historically Black College during Black History Month.

“Living in America” isn’t some special award that we have to dole out carefully. It’s not a prize or a gold medal. It doesn’t hurt me to have neighbors like Liam Ramos. These people are such stupid freaks.

For years, a cottage industry of political observers has contorted itself to obscure and occlude the obvious. That regardless of what others see in him, Trump’s entire political career — from his embrace of birtherism to his hatred of birthright citizenship — cannot be understood outside the context of his bitter, deep-seated racism. Trump is not profound. He has been the same person this whole time. The question is why so many others have refused to see what he has never bothered to hide.

This, from @jamellebouie.net is exactly right. And I think so many folks have refused to see or admit what Trump is because admitting implicates them, or their families, so denial is easier.

Gosh, I cant believe that a Trump branded product is actually a ripoff. Thats so unlike him!
