The Laken Riley Act Spells Chaos for the Immigration System
The U.S. immigration system isn’t ready for the havoc and expense this bill could unleash. But the real pain will be felt by the immigrants the bill targets.

I don't care what's popular. Voting for Trump's nominees and anti-immigrant legislation makes you a dog shit person.

Amidst all the Ossoff fluffing I see on this site, it's important to keep in mind that he also voted for the Laken Riley Act and it was introduced to Congress by his opponent, who he's been calling a Nazi and a regime stooge. Both those things are true, so why is Ossoff voting with Nazis?

Daily reminder that Ossoff has a horrible voting record and is barely more progressive than John Fetterman. He may have good clapbacks against Republican klansmen, but when it comes to border fascism such as this garbage, as well as Israel, etc., he's often on their side.

Ex-boss filed a $12 theft charge against an ex-employee because she got a restraining order in response to his creepy behavior. Charge was never prosecuted, but it gave ICE an excuse to arrest and detain her. Congratulations to the 58 Democrats who voted for the Laken Riley Act. You own this.

Abolish ICE originally came from activists who opposed deportation, full stop. This is not that. But it looks like an excellent starting point. Eliminating DHS and everything under it would be an unqualified good.

I am entirely serious when I say that this should be seen as a moderate position. It specifically and surgically dismantles institutions that did not exist pre-9/11 and assigns their functions much as they were assigned pre-9/11.

Some of the escalations we're seeing, including the attack on Ilhan Omar's home (I will not pretend this act was "investigatory"), are desperate acts. But we must remember that desperate people can be very dangerous. A domestic abuse victim, for example, is in the most danger when trying to leave.

We can’t be silent in the face of fascism. The raid on Rep. Ilhan Omar weeks before an election is naked an attempt to interfere with it. Trump has weaponized the DOJ to target his political opponents, manufacturing charges that have been dismissed by court after court. I stand with Ilhan.

"He's not evil, he's stupid" is not a solid defense, especially as he's already claimed that he did it because he's 82 & needed the paycheck. When claiming poverty doesn't work, having your kid claim ignorance only makes things look worse.

Does Trejo lack any sort of agency in this? Is he physically handcuffed to Shapiro, unable to just walk away? Is Danny fucking Trejo not rich enough to just pay the breach of contract fine and walk away? I'll buy he was tricked. Shapiro has a history of that. But I don't buy that he's powerless.

The Republican Party is chock full of Nazis. The government has Nazis in senior administration positions. The Republican Party’s largest donor is a neo-Nazi. David Brooks might not want to admit it, but that’s why it’s long past time for him to shut up.

Several scholars of authoritarianism and even the Third Reich have, for years, pointed to the similarities between Trump's GOP and the NSDSP and fascism generally. So unless Brooks knows more about that than us, I'd suggest he be quiet and listen to the actual experts.
