My partner works in immigration law and I’ve seen this phrase, in English and in Spanish, all over her office and the offices of other organizations and I can feel the tears well up in my eyes every time I read it, no matter where. They did just now. I really think it’s so powerful.

Oh don’t worry, ICE loves to arrest gang members too. And by gang members, they mean Latino teenagers who are committing such crimes as “wearing sneakers” or “wearing hats” or “being in parks” or “having tattoos.”

When ICE says it has arrested hundreds of MS-13 members, what they really mean is that they have detained hundreds of brown-skinned teenagers. Then they claim evidence of gang membership because of things like “wearing a Chicago Bulls hat” or “wearing sneakers” or “being in a park” or “having tattoos.”

Adding to the “amens” here. I live in Ocasio-Cortez’s district now but was born and spent most of my life in Indiana, solid Trump country. Though I voted in every election I could, I was never particularly enthused about it, knowing that it basically meant nothing (except in 2008, of course!). But man, if a candidate…

That’s a total mischaracterization of what is happening. And preeeeetty racist.

Yeah the point about the Mayflower (putting aside that there were many nations on this continent at the time) was that, if your family doesn’t trace back to colonizers or natives, they were immigrants. With regards to this take on Latin American history, let’s say for a second that it’s all accurate - so? Why does…

WOW are there are a lot of commenters with a gross (and frankly racist) misunderstanding of how our immigration laws work and what is happening at the border and around the country on a daily basis. I’m sure all of your families were on the Mayflower, too, right? Oh they weren’t but they came over the right way? Got…

With regards to actually being present for a raid or visit by ICE officers, I would also point people, immigrant and citizen alike, to this excellent series of videos, called “We Have Rights,” made by a partnership between the ACLU, Brooklyn Defender Services, and the Immigrant Defense Project. The videos provide very…

If there is a statute stating that somewhere then ICE has been all out ignoring it since WELL before this administration. They are detaining children and separating families all over the country every day.

He talked about it on stage a bit when he was hosting a weekly comedy show in Brooklyn. Let’s just say he didn’t love the experience of making the show.

What are they calling a “commute” in this data? At least in NYC, there is ZERO way that you are taking an UberX twice a day for more than a couple blocks and paying $142 per week. MAYBE in an UberPOOL. By the way, drivers HATE UberPOOL because they do more work, deal with more shitty customers, and get paid nearly…

“Whoever heard of a system where you put people through trials? Where do these judges come from?” he said.

“I’m tired, I’m sick and tired of the constant vilification of these men and women who leave their home every day and strap a gun to their hip, leave the safety and security of their families to defend this nation, and to defend their neighborhoods,” Homan said.”

YUP. Just be an adult and handle yo’ shit.

Think about it—if you have more daylight after you get off from work, you’re more likely to go out and shop or play golf. This is largely why we still have DST to this day.

I too grew up enjoying Wendy’s. But, their social media presence and the lack of fast food in my life aside, the biggest reason I do not eat there now is that they remain the lone national fast food chain which has not signed onto the Fair Food Program.

Right? I don’t get the uproar. Yeah, it was a weird jazz arrangement but she wasn’t horrible off key at any point. It was fine. Hot take of my own: it’s a bad song. It’s just not good and people try to get around that by doing interesting or new arrangement in the hopes of breathing some life into it. Maybe we should…

I would watch that show.

One time in like 1998 or ‘99, my buddy and I asked the guy sitting next to Tony Siragusa if he would take a picture for us. Realized years later that guy was Ray Lewis.

I’ll believe it when I see it. They pledged to “move away” from it a few years ago but then affirmatively chose to wear the uniforms with Chief Wahoo instead of the C throughout the postseason both last year and the year before. The official team stuff with the horribly racist caricature on it are bad enough but the…
