Kansas Dem Sen. nominee Adam Hamilton on trans rights: “I don’t think we should take a small group of people and bully them, pick on them, and hurt them. I understand one thing really clearly when it comes to transgender people, and that is Jesus told me I was to love my neighbor as I love myself”

From Josh Helfgott: ICE can now lock up immigrants in Texas, Louisiana and Mississippi with no end date, no bail hearing or right to ask a judge why, after a federal appeals court said they have NO due process rights. The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals voted 10-7 on Friday

Jon Stewart on Mike Rogers: “He was a real pain in our ass in 2010 when we fought for the Zadroga Act for 9/11 first responders. He called it a New York problem and voted against it, all while claiming to respect the heroes of 9/11. It was all bullshit.”

makes me feel really safe in this world to have it repeatedly confirmed that the richest and most powerful people in existence can say literally any disgusting defamatory lies they want about a statistically poor marginalized group I belong to without receiving any significant pushback

We spent decades worried about nuclear weapons, only to destroy ourselves with weaponized stupidity. This unspeakable THING is the Tsar Bomba of ignorance.

This was the last time I had hope for America. We'd voted for change, and at long last change was going to come. Then nothing was done to prevent these unspeakable crimes, and it became clear that this country doesn't care about its own children. At that moment, the soul of America started to die.

NEW: @apnews.com confirms that ICE has begun electronically "disappearing" people in the agency's custody who have final orders of removal. As of last week, anyone jailed by ICE with a final order of removal will NOT appear in the ICE Online Detainee Locator System, making them effectively vanish.

I'd like to enter this into the "best thing I've seen on the Internet this month" contest. This racist piece of shit called ICE after these fellas built his fence to avoid paying them. They handled their business. And I love the music this is set to. "You've been, THUNDERSTRUCK!"

Vote early. Election Day is the end of the election, not the beginning. With everything this regime is going to do to suppress our votes, it’s imperative that we leave plenty of time to correct any issues.
