I’m kinda amazing, She/her, applause break here

Don’t blame me, I voted for Pat Paulson. What? Pat Paulson has been dead longer than he ran for president? Huh? No one under the age of 40 will get this and very unlikely anyone under 60 will understand?

Happy Tdov. Trans timelines are always bangers, unless you’re like me and wasn’t really visible in many photos pre-me. So pre-me options aren’t plentiful. But every now and than, I see a juxtaposition and just know, I made the right fucking choice.

Reminder that, in recent days, children have rallied and protested for their freedom inside an ICE detention center where water has been described as "putrid" and meals reportedly contain “bugs,” dirt, and debris. This is where the kidnapped 5-year-old Liam Ramos is being held.

Afterwards, I asked if he wanted a hug. He nodded & gave me a big bear hug. When it ended, he had tears in his eyes. “This is my neighborhood. I used to eat there all the time as kid,” he pointed down the road to a pho shop behind me. “I loved it.” “Now it’s all ruined.”

We still don't know the names of the ICE agents who killed Gonzàlez behind the wheel of his car outside Chicago in September. They were unmasked in this BWC footage from Franklin Park police. If you have any information at all about these men—please text us on Signal at unraveled.66

ICE must be destroyed 🏳️‍⚧️🏴@miawong.bsky.social · 6mo ago

It's really distressing the extent to which in all of this Silverio Villegas González, the first man to be murdered by ICE in the streets, has been almost completely forgotten Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

Vance on Jan. 8: "You have a federal law enforcement official engaging in federal law enforcement action. That's a federal issue. That guy's protected by absolute immunity." Vance today: "I didn't say that officers who engaged in wrongdoing would enjoy immunity. That's absurd."

This is 100% FALSE. Immigration judges do NOT play any role in issuing administrative warrants. They are generated and signed by ICE officers themselves. ICE’s own training materials say they can’t be used for a search of a home! Here’s a blank warrant form. Note who signs it.

Shown is a blank sample administrative warrant. The only place for signatures is for an immigration officer. No judge has to sign off on it.

JD Vance: "Nobody is talking about doing immigration enforcement without a warrant. We're talking about different types of warrants that exist in our system. Typically in the immigration system, those are handled by administrative law judges. So we're talking about getting warrants from them."

Pernicious wordplay by Vance. Vance: "Nobody is talking about doing immigration enforcement without a warrant." Truth 1: DHS is doing immigration enforcement IN PEOPLE's HOMES without a JUDICIAL warrant. Truth 2: Our system - the Fourth Amendment - requires a judicial warrant.

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.
