"Forcing radical change" is a very polite way of saying "collapsing the entire society and hoping to dominate the chaos" but you do you, NYT

BREAKING: NEW MEXICO has banned I.C.E. detention centers.

The Immigration Safety Act (House Bill 9) was approved by the Senate, 24-15.

All GOP opposed the bill.

It will become law. ๐Ÿ˜Žโœจ

This man tried to tell students at the School of the Arts in Rochester, NY not to protest but the more he talked, the louder they chanted, โ€œGet ICE out of our streets.โ€ Love their courage and conviction

If Bad Bunny can cover the history of Puerto Rico, colonialism, transatlantic slavery, hemispheric consciousness, as well as contemporary life and politics in under 14 minutes, you can do your 15- or 20-minute conference presentation with time to spare.

Wow! This is such welcome news! My grandfather was from Saskatchewan and, like many in the US now, Iโ€™ve been wondering if there might be an escape route, should we decide we need to leave.

208. The Fifth Circuit Jumps the Immigration Detention Shark Late Friday, two of the nation's most right-wing circuit judges adopted an odious legal claim that district court judges from across the country (and ideological spectrum) have overwhelmingly rejected

โ€œLate Friday night, the Fifth Circuit adopted the extreme minority viewโ€”that the government can indefinitely detain without bond millions of non-citizens who have been here for generations; who have never committed a crime; and who pose neither a risk of flight nor any threat to public safety.โ€

Thus, rather than require such adjudications, the Department is changing its regulations to provide the Board more flexibility in reviewing appeals. Instead, for appeals taken from decisions issued after this IF becomes effective, as explained in
Section IV.A of this preamble, the default will be summary dismissal unless a majority of current Board members vote to consider the appeal on the merits. And such dismissals
will occur quicklyโ€”within 15 days of filing the appealโ€”allowing aliens to seek Federal court review expeditiously, rather than potentially waiting for years for a Board decision that in the vast majority of cases would affirm the underlying Immigration Judge
decision.

๐ŸšจHOLY CRAP. The Trump admin just took a SLEDGEHAMMER to due process, largely eliminating the Board of Immigration Appeals process and MANDATING DISMISSAL of ALL appeals (which cost $1,000 thanks to OBBBA) filed after tomorrow unless a majority of the BIA votes to hear the case.

wow -- with Trump standing behind him, a man (not sure who he is) offers this prayer: "We pray that he would be mindful of the poor and that he would be invested in the alleviation of suffering happening in the families preparing to bury their loved ones in Minneapolis."

In less than a week the Kennedy Center has effectively closed and our local DC paper has been gutted, both by billionaires.

I donโ€™t think immigrants are our problem in this country.

This isnโ€™t some anonymous tip. This is sworn testimony, under penalty of perjury, from someone who said Trump threatened to kill her if she exposed Epsteinโ€™s sexual abuse.

I genuinely have no idea how to convey this to the American people, but I think the biggest impediment to any kind of immigration reform is that people are convinced that "legal" and "illegal" are immutable, intrinsic categories instead of a rapidly-shifting arbitrary constellation of regulations.

The final email seems to be him setting up a three-way meeting on the 27th at 3pm because someone else (name redacted) is ccโ€™d in. Was it the smart redhead?

Whether it's a Hillary Clinton staffer asking John Podesta how to make risotto or Elon Musk asking Jeffrey Epstein where he could find a party featuring child sex slaves, there's plenty of embarrassing emails on both sides.

I cried after my daughter told me they're posing as crossing guards. Snatching up kids and parents as they cross the street to get to school.
