This is insane. INSANE. Without any legal basis at all, this memo says ICE doesn't need a warrant (or probable cause) to break into someone's home to arrest them. It's like a memo that says, "Actually, you DON'T have the right to remain silent."
ICE secretly told its officers that any time someone has been ordered removed, ICE can break down their door.
It has been accepted for generations that the only thing which can authorize agents to break into your home is a warrant signed by a judge. No wonder ICE hid this memo!
Independents are +12 on abolishing ICE
77 percent of Democrats want to abolish ICE.

What ‘The American Revolution’ Says About Our Cultural Battles
i’ve posted some version of this many times so i finally decided to make my case for it: taxing the rich is not only good for us. it is good for them. having a billion dollars is like toxic waste for your soul. we can and should remove it from them. it’s the loving thing to do!

There is no logical reason for people to live like this. We should help them.

An ugly injury ended his career but Marcus Lattimore could always fall back on being a South Carolina football icon.
But after a few years, he started to ask: "Is this all it's gonna be for me?"
He moved to Oregon, found a home and found his voice — remarkably, as a poet.

"An old billboard campaign reminded drivers that 'You are not stuck in traffic. You are traffic.' We can apply the same logic to our era of social media-fueled distractions. Your timeline is only as stupid as you allow it to be."
