It’s finally happened. After 18 months. Finally, a media merger you can root for.

The fact that many, many people in the federal government are actively bad at their jobs and ruining things has not resulted in changes makes this sadly unsurprising. Sadly, ICE, as a group actively bad at doing their jobs, are continuing exactly as they have been.

Respondents have already wasted valuable time and resources.  Worst of all, not only does detention without due process deprive members of the Bond Eligible Class of their liberty, economic stability, and fundamental dignity, but it also harms their families, communities, and the fabric of this very nation.   IT IS SO ORDERED.

Wow.

Fed. judge tells DHS, ICE, Sec. Noem, AG Bondi, EOIR and others that they are harming "the fabric of this very nation" by defying a court order that vacated their automatic-detention policy.

Order is linked here:

It's not actually surprising the deputy attorney general Todd Blanche got the law wrong. Disobeying laws and not knowing how they work is pretty much spot on for this administration.

Congressional Rs need to grow a spine or steal one to deal with our president problem.

Abolish ICE.

There’s no reforming it.

There’s no compromise.

There’s only one way to rein in ICE’s terror campaign. Abolish it.

ICE isn't law enforcement without training; ICE is white nationalism with guns.

Neighbors standing guard over churches so that parents can have secret meetings about how to keep daycares safe. This is what's happening in the Twin Cities right now.

Political parties that *actually* prioritize the safely of children do not cut off fundimg that keeps children in stable, high quality care environments. It's almost like children are just pawns in the view of the current administration. gross.

Another point on how blatantly racist and xenophobic this is for conservatives...they never talked about Brett Favre and others stealing TANF funds with the same vitriol.

Exactly. Welfare reform (ending the welfare program & replacing it with TANF) did not change welfare stigma. 🗃️

Why do you appreciate unions?

I’ll start:

Weekends off
Paid vacations
Work breaks
Sick leave
Paid holidays
No child labor
Safer working conditions
Health care and retirement benefits

GUARDIAN: “Per head, 🇺🇸 output is six times China’s, and yet, inexplicably, there seem to be more abjectly poor Americans than Chinese. 🇺🇸 inequality is breathtaking… keeps getting worse…”

Wanting to address this isn’t radical.

NOT wanting to is.
