      A few pieces of news from my latest. The lesson of family separation debacle wasn't that govt went too far separating families, an Admin official told me. Rather it was that “we need to be smarter if we want to implement something on this scale” again. 1/https://www.newyorker.com/news/daily-comment/will-anyone-in-the-trump-administration-ever-be-held-accountable-for-the-zero-tolerance-policy …

      Did the outcry over family separation surprise the Administration? Yes, official said. “The expectation was that the kids would go to Office of Refugee Resettlement, that the parents would get deported, & that no one would care.” end/

          Self-confessed inhumanity and nihilism. These people need to be cleaned out of the agencies wholesale. They appear by their own rhetoric to be un-retrainable.

          I'm in favor of the resumption of neutron bomb testing . . . and the airspace over @ICEgov headquarters would be the perfect site. Fucking #ICE is - without exaggeration - America's Allgemeine SS
