Yeah, I know the senator already voted against DHS funding. But I don’t want him to vote yes as soon as they promise to wear body cameras. Or as soon as Chuck “Chucklefuck” Schumer tells him to.

My only picture from when I saw her in November.

A red push bar door is propped open. There is a larger poster topped with *attention* and Neko Case in red - the text in black is small and not readable at this scale. Below is a single printed on regular paper that says “Do not look Danzig in the eye.”

A few months ago, ICE hired me I didn't sign and submit any paperwork. I almost certainly failed the drug test. I'm real outspoken about my opposition to the Trump administration, and I am extremely googlable And yet, there it was, in plain English. "Welcome to ICE!" My latest for Slate

We live in the most ridiculous timeline.

Screenshot meme from the movie “Hocus Pocus.” The two bullies from the movie are speaking. One says to the other, “I told you, my name’s not Gestapo anymore.” He turns around and reveals ICE shaved into the back of his head. He says “It’s ice.”

Signs of a loggerhead shrike near Albuquerque. Shrikes save larger food items by sticking them on cactus spines, or, in this case, barbed wire.

A grasshopper with a barbed wire barb stuck in its abdomen. The grasshopper has one wing exposed hanging out behind. The angle is head on, with the grasshopper facing slightly down.

A grasshopper with striped wings faces the viewer. Its abdomen is impaled on barbed wire.

The problem with asking abolitionists how to prevent violent and sexual crimes is that it presupposes that the current system actually addresses sexual or violent crimes when it categorically does not. The United States has the lowest clearance rates for violent crimes in the developed world.
