History is watching each of us. What we do matters.

Or, maybe Trump is just too weak to stand up to Bukele?

Another horrible story of family separation. "The Trump administration sent the mother of a 2-year-old to Venezuela and the father to a Salvadoran prison. Their daughter remains somewhere in the United States." www.nytimes.com/2025/04/29/w...

So, to be clear, Trump is too weak to force Bukele to release Kilmar Abrego Garcia? Is that the position?

Finally. Our hostages are home.

Cruelty for cruelty’s sake.

Putin gets applause and a limo ride. Gazan children get refused medical visas. Who’s more of a national security threat? www.nytimes.com/2025/08/16/u...

Fact reported in this article—>“Undocumented immigrants pay tens of billions of dollars in taxes each year, which the ITINs help facilitate.” www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

The administration’s deportation playbook reads like a dystopian travel guide—CECOT, South Sudan, torture included. But when lawyers push back, suddenly we’re the problem? Sorry, zealous advocacy isn’t a crime. Yet. www.politico.com/news/2025/08...

Dean Cain joining ICE during masked raids is peak method acting. From Superman to “I am only following orders.” Looks like “truth, justice and the American way” got deleted from the script 🤔 www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...

“Pope Leo XIV urged the public to see migrants and refugees as “messengers of hope” on Friday, as the Trump administration focuses on mass deportation efforts in the pontiff’s former home country.” www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

I have this clip running on a loop. www.nytimes.com/video/us/pol...

Masked enforcement by ICE agents isn’t just alarming—it’s legally dubious and ethically indefensible. It undermines identification laws, invites impersonation risks, and chips away at public trust. www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

A former ICE official warns new hires may include Proud Boys & insurrectionists. With Trump expanding ICE & gutting oversight, this isn’t reform—it’s weaponization. Civil liberties aren’t just eroding. They’re being bulldozed. slate.com/news-and-pol...
