gotta agree with this. at some point we all have to contend with what good faith is actually for and extend it accordingly
A lot of our political discourse would be easier if we didn't extend good faith to people who would never extend it back.

Finally done washing dishes.
Good night everyone.
When did we call it "fair"?
Maria is one of hundreds of children, who — like Liam Ramos — have been held at a Texas detention facility where parents say children languish as they’re served contaminated food, receive little education and struggle to obtain basic medical care.
Here's our attempt at telling their stories. 2/
Children trapped in Texas immigration facility recount nightmares, inedible food, no school
A photo of Liam Conejo Ramos, a scared 5-year-old, drew attention to a detention center in Dilley, Texas. Advocates say his experience reflects what hundreds of children have endured out of public vie...
He's disabled. They're going to murder him because he's disabled.
wtf is she on about???
Had no choice but to pay $40 for a taxi burrito because I couldn't figure out how to decant olives
Mamdani: "I speak of Renee Good, whose final words to the man who murdered her were, 'I'm not mad at you.' I speak of Alex Pretti who died as he lived, caring for the stranger. ICE shot him bc he did something they could never fathom ... let us offer a new path: one of defiance through compassion."

The public made noise for Liam Ramos and it got him released from Dilley.
Now we must make noise for 7 year old Diana Crespo.
Her parents were taking her for emergency medical care when ICE grabbed them, and she’s rotting in the camp sick and exposed to measles.
Get them out!
Swear to god, ICE could just announce they're leaving a city but not leave and the media will just stop covering that city completely even though ICE never left.
It's what ICE and the media did with LA and they're doing it with Minneapolis too
the biden border bill and choosing to run on a “border patrol endorsed” piece of legislation should go down as not only cowardly and backward thinking but one of the worst strategic political decisions by democrats in recent memory, everyone involved should be out of politics forever
New Quinnipiac poll:
63% of voters disapprove of ICE
60% want ICE out of Minneapolis
58% want Kristi Noem removed from office
Childhood was a political project, centuries of activism carving out time and space for young people to grow and learn. It's an unfinished project, and the right wing wants it ended when it's barely even begun.
The Right has spent years trying to push a return to child labor and attacking age of consent laws. I don’t think it’s a coincidence that they’re exposing us to mountains of the most horrendous stuff imaginable while also normalizing it.
So much of what’s happening is the destruction of childhood.

good morning, never die on this hill
No one should be opposed to this.
@wyden.senate.gov's record of warning that there is deep and constitutionally-serious dirt being done by the intelligence agencies in secret is unblemished. The vaguer he is, the filthier the dirt is. This is the vaguest I've ever seen him
Ron Wyden Only Talks Like This When The Spies Do Something *Real* Bad
No, I don't know what they did. But I have a lot of experience with the senator
I get this, but here's where I'm at:
Trump & Vance are the worst of us. America is bigger than them, and they win if we let them define us.
Team USA is the best of us. It's filled with Americans MAGA hates—first-generation + immigrants, LGBTQ+ athletes, people of color—& I'm gonna root for them.
I really really want these athletes to have a great experience, be competitive and perhaps win a gold medal, but, honestly, the thought of hearing "USA!USA!USA!" during their games kinda makes me cringe. If we were any other country the IOC would ask us to march under the olympic flag.
We will rebuild.
Killing the CIA World Factbook might seem like small potatoes, but it was a touchstone of curated facts in a sea of disinformation.
All under Republican presidents too
Feds gave Jeffrey Epstein a sweetheart deal when he was alive, let him die before facing trial, obstructed justice after his death, punished victims for demanding transparency, and are now trying to move on without addressing the vast corruption and abuse. THIS is how our “justice” system works.
these people are evil. There is no other explanation or reason. They are fundamentally evil. You cannot negotiate with evil.
Kindergarten teacher called a prank ICE hotline thinking it was real. She called to report her 6 year old student to ICE to try to get them and their family deported.
6 years old.
She does not enjoy hearing her own words and actions played back to her.

🚨🚨Given current situation and with the sharply deteriorating situation in

#US border authorities unprecedented access to Europeans’ data. 🧵

EU plan to share data with US border force sparks surveillance fears
Washington is demanding access to sensitive data as ICE heightens fears in Europe.
Heartbreaking
My mother died from cancer in 1992. She was 37. I was 8.
These trials offered hope that fewer 8 year old boys would bury their 37 year old mothers due to cancer.
An insane amount of support.
I stand corrected. Four out of 5 Democrats want to abolish ICE.
Any elected Dem asking for less is outside the mainstream of their party.
the problem is that entire generation of dems and their younger disciples are all elitist pricks who think one of their main jobs is to discipline their base, NOT reflect that base's policy preferences. which is why we need to kick every last one of them out of office

ICE has been holding a disabled double amputee named Rodney Taylor in a camp for a year.
He’s been in the US since he was two years old.
It’s all he knows.
When they detained him, they denied him access to new prosthetic legs.
His health is declining.
