Do you honestly believe we would be here right now if we hadn't let the Biden administration and moderate Dems bungle this issue? The only thing proposing that noxious piece of trash legislation did was allow the fascists to say "see? even the libs know migrants are a problem."

This lesser evil canard completely misunderstands politics and racism, it doesn't work like an inoculation where doing a little racism keeps us from going full racist down the road, it works like heavy metal poisoning where the shit just builds up in our systems.

Agreed til the final paragraph, but that 2024 bill was authoritarian trash that never should have been proposed in the first place

Yeah, the fact that Epstein was a fan of 4chan and hung out with moot makes everything about this moment make a lot more sense in retrospect

If you needed a lawyer for some reason, would you refuse to hire a woman because you thought your jury might have misogynists on it?

“American culture will not be mocked or corrupted without consequence,” Ogles said.

Fuck all the way off you fucking illiterate dipshit. The best parts of "American culture" are and always have been mocking evil puritanical shitheads like you who really just hate art in general and people you don't own.

Clearly the answer is to give even more funding to the people creating inhumane conditions and to ask them nicely to stop /s

It's kinda shitty behavior, but one for profit entity screwing with another for profit entity over bullshit reasons doesn't even crack the top ten in terms of shitty behavior I saw in headlines scrolling my way here (source: lives under current US government)

they are definitely capitalising on her name and brand

How? By just using the word "swift"? I don't think copyright should cover something that generic, we'll end up licensing off the whole language.

Yeah, the Trump administration have always been fans of things that sounded better in the original German I guess

Could very well be they're worried that would end up compromising their source

They're wealthier and whiter on average so ICE probably isn't starting shit over there as often, but it's my understanding that tons of people from St Paul are going to Minneapolis on the regular to do mutual aid stuff

 

Federal records obtained by WIRED show that over the past several months, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) have carried out a secret campaign to expand ICE’s physical presence across the US. Documents show that more than 150 leases and office expansions have or would place new facilities in nearly every state, many of them in or just outside of the country’s largest metropolitan areas. In many cases, these facilities, which are to be used by street-level agents and ICE attorneys, are located near elementary schools, medical offices, places of worship, and other sensitive locations.

Cardinal Blase Cupich, head of the Archdiocese of Chicago, has twice told interviewers in recent weeks that priests in the archdiocese have been stopped by federal agents and asked to prove their immigration status — demands he said were “because of their color.”

A judge’s order last summer mandated capacity restrictions and improved conditions at the federal building, which has been a focus of the Trump administration’s immigration enforcement efforts in New York City. The order applied to any “person detained by ICE at 26 Federal Plaza,.”

But ICE has interpreted the order as applying to just one floor of the building, while conceding it has been detaining some immigrants on a separate floor.

The revelations emerged during a hearing over an ongoing lawsuit about conditions inside ICE’s holding areas inside 26 Federal Plaza, where immigrants arrested around New York City are often taken before being shipped off to detention sites across the country.

Last summer, as ICE arrests surged, THE CITY and other outlets reported on the squalid and overcrowded conditions inside holding cells on the 10th floor of 26 Federal Plaza.
