Arizona's 6,500-year-old Las Playas Intaglio, the oldest dated geoglyph in the Americas, was irreparably damaged by border wall construction in April 2026.

Seeing how much of the right-wing on Twitter is just bot farms, kinda lays bare how much hate and hatred is a project that needs to be constantly maintained, a fire that needs to be fed all the time lest it go out for a moment, so much time, effort, and resources to keep people angry and hateful.

Giant YTD drops in Chicago for basically all crimes. Huge 4-reductions in Chicago for all violence. Murders are down FIFTY PERCENT. Property crimes are dropping, tho still higher than before. But MRAPs don’t stop theft. This is all pretext. Yet the WaPo subhed frames it as a “crime” issue.

THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS. First Trump illegally sent a child’s father to be imprisoned without trial or due process in El Salvador. Then ICE grabbed her mother to be deported to Venezuela. But despite the mom saying she wanted to leave with her daughter, ICE is keeping the baby!
Bernal told her mom that despite signing off on her 2-year-old's deportation with her, U.S. officials did not reunite her with her toddler before they shackled Bernal's wrists, ankles and waist and forced her onto a deportation flight to her home country. The girl's father, Maiker Espinoza Escalona, had been sent to El Salvador's megaprison a month earlier, disappearing from the family's life. The toddler's only remaining parent in the United States had been her mother, who was in Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody until her deportation last week.But now, 2-year-old Maikelis Antonella is in a precarious limbo: She is detained in U.S. government care in El Paso, but without a removal order or immigration status and no clear future. Her fate lies in the hands of the Trump administration.
"The government has her in this weird purgatory where they know she's here, but they're not moving to do anything to execute her repatriation," said Imelda Maynard, legal director for Estrella del Paso, which provides legal aid to migrant children. "So right now, Antonella is just ... here."

"primary everyone" feels like the moderate option tbh
HOUSE MINORITY LEADER Hakeem Jeffries was asked Monday whether Democrats should continue to advocate for the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, and the other men wrongly shipped to El Salvador, by making the trip to the country to put a spotlight on the issue.

“Our reaction is that Donald Trump has the lowest approval rating of any president in modern American history,” Jeffries responded.

But while Jeffries may be publicly agnostic on El Salvador trips like the one Reps. Robert Garcia, Yassamin Ansari, Maxwell Frost, and Maxine Dexter recently took, privately he sees the trips as having run their course. Two Democratic aides and a lawmaker who spoke to The Bulwark said that the minority leader has discouraged further excursions to the country even as pressure mounts within the party to turn up the heat on Trump for sending 238 men to a notorious prison system known for human rights abuses.

“They want to let the El Salvador stuff slow down,” a senior House staffer said.

Jeffries’s office declined to comment.

There are only two times in recent memory when the Dems acted forcefully: When Bernie was about to win the nomination, and when the money dried up after Biden's debate. They will only act when something presents a threat to their grift. Ending the flow of money is how you destroy the party.

Democrats are fundamentally misunderstanding the moment: We're not asking them to be *legislators* right now. We need them to be *politicians.* There's nothing to be done about the legislative situation. They're right about that. But there's PLENTY to be done as politicians.

They simply don't believe in what they say. They do not have principles they will fight for. This is what the election exposed, and why Jefferies focuses so hard on "message." They think a good line will paper over their utter lack of conviction.
