the president of the united states should not be allowed to personally loot the treasury to the sum of ten billion dollars and that this is not resulting in immediate, unanimous impeachment is a dramatic indictment of what has become of our political system

It’s not impossible that a person be a drain on society, but it is a measurable fact that most aren’t. Conceding (even accidentally) that the expected value of a person is negative gives away the whole ballgame.

There are many other flaws. It’s not just this, it is also the truth that having more Americans makes America richer.

Imagining that each incremental person is, in expectation, a social cost instead of a social good is the root problem.

"We regret to inform you that your anger is trending. This is deeply unhelpful. When the public reacts emotionally to repeated tragedies, it puts pressure on leadership to respond with something other than carefully selected words."

A paid vacation for the still-unnamed and still-uncharged murders.

Fuck these fucking fucks. They’re fucking with/up one of the best places in the world.

(When I moved to NYC in 2008, west Harlem was what we could barely afford that allowed us to live midway between our separate schools. And then we found out: It’s AMAZING there.)

Deco has worked well for me. Both their TP-Link series and their M-series. A critical feature they have is “reboot daily at 3am (time configurable)” because it means that you basically never have to reboot your modem because it’s always been restarted sometime in the last 24 hours.

If Dems are squeamish about "abolish," fine, the demand is still simple: zero funding for ICE and CBP.

Pretend you just want a "pause" to "sort it out." Whatever.

But, yeah, "do not vote to fund murder and other rampant lawbreaking by Trump's gestapo" is indeed a "purity test" you must pass.

Okay I think I've mapped out ICE politics as of Monday night

Who killed Alex Pretti? ICE knows and isn’t telling, and has hidden him with their bureaucracy.

I don’t see how you can “reform” an institution that is actively hiding a murderer in its ranks.

Only a death cult would vote for a government thinking its job is to kill people, not to save them.

lowest ratings of the century SO FAR

they have no ability to back down and recalibrate AND they lack a theory of mind for their opponents

We are all driving brains gunked up with cortisol because that’s what state terror and fascism do.

BOSS, THE FASCISM.

They are highly-trained violence workers, exactly what both parties bought and paid for despite demands to defund.

I keep thinking about this fact that his last words were are you okay and hers were I'm not mad at you and it feels like a weird coincidence but it's just a reflection of the fact that the people who are coming out to take care of their neighbors are good and the people who are after them are bad

I can’t remember the last time I saw this level of popular solidarity across division(s).

IT IS NOT AN "IMMIGRATION CRISIS"!!!!

every federal agent who ever put on a mask did so because on some level they knew this moment was coming

they knew they were setting out to do things that would deserve profound shame at the least, and righteous retribution at the most

I have spent my entire adult life being lectured by Republican politicians and conservative legal movement types about how important it is to preserve the sacred constitutional right to self-defense of *specifically this person* and then secret police murdered him in the street

I want politicians smart enough, and with enough integrity, to realize that regardless of what anyone thinks should be “done” about immigration, a particular institution can delegitimize themselves as the means by doing things like murdering people

Federal law enforcement agents shot and killed a man in Minneapolis on Jan. 24 according to local police officials. DHS told Fox News that the man was “armed with a gun”. A video of the shooting appears to show that a gun was taken from the man before the first shot was fired. x.com/BillMelugin_...

And let me be crystal clear. Training is not the solution. ICE must be abolished. Period. It’s just… notable to see how bad these men are at being killers.

After killing a young mother literally named Good, they've murdered a *nurse*.
What's the betting the next victim is an elderly nun or something?

Finally, if you think they wouldn't shoot you in a heartbeat because - I dunno, you're a white dude, or you voted for this - you are deluding yourself. They don't give a damn about any American. They know that the walls are closing in and are petrified about the accountability that will come.

The amount of money that is currently going to fund immigration enforcement in the US is larger than the military budgets of every country in the world other than the US and China. We are witnessing a military assault on American cities by a wildly unpopular governing party.
