this is all to say that should democrats win the house and senate this november, they should hold similarly dramatic — which is to say televised and highly publicized — hearings on the conduct of ICE and CBP, with testimony from victims. we want as much of *this* as possible in the record. (3/?)

The kids probably don't remember when Bari Weiss tweeted "Immigrants: They get the job done" after Mirai Nagasu (not an immigrant) landed a triple axel in the Olympics

I hope someone draws this wonderful story about Tom Stoppard's Arcadia and the power of the arts to help us see things differently, to the attention of our Education Secretary. Do read it, it will lift your spirits.

You know, I'm not sure I ever really read the Pond Rules at our local nature preserve all that closely before
POND RULES:

No swimming, jumping or gallivanting.
Do not disturb the pond witch.
No fishing with dynamite.
Sacrifices to water gods on alternate Wednesdays only - NO EXCEPTIONS!
Taunt the crows at your own risk.
If a hand comes out of the water to beckon you, turn and walk away.
Do not feed the weretrout.
Is the water burning with cold unholy fire? Report it to the ranger!
They’re not ducks. Run.
Have fun!

I don't mean to be glib or trivializing: Texas A&M's "to end indoctrination you must teach only our doctrine" is some arbeit macht frei obscenity. No, of course it's not genocide. But it's the logic of sadistic erasure, the way in 1984 2+2=5 made even believing the truth impossible.

6 days after Soviet troops invaded Czechoslovakia in 1968, a Prague paper published these “10 Commandments”: ‘When a Soviet soldier comes to you, YOU: 1. Don’t know 2. Don’t care 3. Don’t tell 4. Don’t have 5. Don’t know how to 6. Don’t give 7. Can’t do 8. Don’t sell 9. Don’t show 10. Do nothing’

I went out at dusk in DC. Lots of people walking around on this warm summer night. I chatted with folks on an walks or on their way to or from dinner, talked with a couple about architecture, & another about how cute their baby was, patted a few dogs. And TFG is deploying the FBI & the Natl Guard.

And men dosed with abnormal amounts of testosterone tend to be emotionally labile with a tendency to violence. What proportion of law enforcement officers are taking testosterone? See Hoberman’s book “Dopers in Uniform”.

United Healthcare rears its cartoonishly, meanly absurd head again: they claim they cover out of network therapy at 50%. However, you need to meet a $10,000 deductible first. At $150/session, a person would have to pay full freight for over 66 sessions before they would cover a dime.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

2.977 people died on 9/11. The daily quote for ICE is 3000. I think putting it in terms like that puts it into perspective. They want one 9/11 every day.

I wrote an email. If you need help structuring yours, here's what mine said:
Dear Mr McCaul,

I am writing today to ask you to take action in condemning, or preferable censuring, your colleague, Rep Andy Ogles.

In the event you missed it, Mr Ogles released a public letter to Attorney General Bondi today, filled with spurious allegations against New York City's Democratic mayoral candidate, Zohran Mamdani, ultimately asking that he be denaturalized and deported.Aside from this being very obvious election interference, it is simply disgusting behavior by anyone, let alone someone elected to the honorable body of the US House of Representatives. One would hope our nation was on its way to becoming free of such bigotry and divisiveness, but it's very hard when it's leaders practice such vices.

I aak that your demonstrate leadership in condemning this act and in imposing consequences against Rep Ogles. Please stand up for a better America.

Sincerely, Lisa Seger Waller, TX
