George Retes, a 25-year-old U.S. citizen and Army veteran, was driving to work when he encountered an ICE checkpoint, where agents broke his car window, pepper-sprayed him and dragged him out of his vehicle for arrest. He was detained for three days and three nights without explanation.

Please stop shaming cancer patients or other terminally ill people. Please quit telling them about miracle cures when they want to talk. And when they die it isn’t because they didn’t fight hard enough. Be grateful for the time they’re giving you. Make good memories. Hug them and laugh.

When the people on your side have Nazi and white supremacist tats and do Nazi salutes it’s fair to call them Nazis. And if you don’t have a problem with standing next to them you’re a Nazi as well. It’s that simple.

I’m a fan of Derry Girls. Set in the Troubles in Northern Ireland the girls just try to live their lives. Now as I eat my danish and drink my tea it’s the ordinariness of life when our country is crumbling around me that makes everything so surreal. Is it really happening?

People complaining that she’s not using her “power” please tell me what that is. She has no elected office. She has no campaign infrastructure. She told us exactly what would happen and we still voted for it. I’d like to know exactly what she should do that any other private citizen would do.

Watching Dean Withers videos and again and again the callers hear new to them information and say it doesn’t matter. It doesn’t matter that he’s a cheat and a crook and a liar. That he stands for no principle beyond hate. The level of ignorance is so profound. And the absolute hypocrisy of it all.

It's why I get tired of (especially online) pundits claiming Dems keep failing because they have a "messaging issue" unlike the GOP. Dems have problems but when one side tells the truth and is treated as a liar and the other lies and its treated as the truth, that's not on the messenger

The new ICE budget is $160 billion. The Marine corps budget is $57 billion. Try to imagine the graft and corruption that's going to be happening at DHS over the next couple of years. Nobody will be accountable. It's going to be a fascist candy store.

In this case the dismissal is of the immigrants request for asylum. So they’re dismissing the request which makes the person here with no pending legal case. So before they can file an appeal or apply under some other program they’re deported.
