Apparently ICE arrests are at an all-time high and I'm guessing they've managed that by decentralizing. Focus on a specific urban area, and you get a lot of targeted resistance. Anyway, helpful reminder that ICE are literally everywhere and we should all be watching out for our neighbors.

The Trump administration plans on spending $268.9 BILLION—or $2,358 per taxpayer—to undertake mass deportations. Ever wonder what that money could have funded instead? Check out EPI's new calculator to see what your state, county, congressional district, or town could have invested in.

Mainstream Respectable opinion is that people joking about a bad person's death represents a culture of cruelty, but really it represents a culture of impunity. It's a coping mechanism for watching someone do evil their whole life and never seeing consequences

Brennan Lee Mulligan is calmly narrating the end of the Great Gatsby as Lou Wilson revs up behind him in a way that clearly indicates he is about to start hollering.

I have placed text on Brennan that says "everyone waiting to hear that mitch mcconnell croaked" and text on Lou that says "lindsey graham at 2 am"
