    Three year olds are expected to represent themselves in immigration hearings, . They’re too young to know their parents’ names or what country their from. “Who made that decision?” If you’re concerned about obscenity, focus on *that* “sign of our times”. F*** you.

    Sign of our times... the F word is now routinely used in news stories, tweets etc It’s not even F*** anymore. Who made that decision???

    The remarkable thing is that the letter was signed by a majority of the special agents in charge of ICE's field offices.

    At least 19 ICE investigators are seeking to dissolve the agency, concerned that the Trump administration's crackdown on illegal migrants has limited their ability to pursue national security threats, child pornography and transnational crime

    She told me not all kids have counsel. They represent themselves with a "government trained attorney prosecuting them" and a "judge speaking a language they don't understand." She says *no one* is equipped to try these cases but immigration lawyers, much less separated kids.

    Just off phone with Lindsay Toczylowski of . She represents that separated *three-year old* facing deportation. "Deportation proceedings in immigration court aren't designed for children." No food. No booster seats. Must sit still though "feet don't touch the ground."

    Targeting women precedes mass shootings every single time. It’s almost like we should take threats, stalking, and targeted harassment of women seriously. , are you listening?

    NEW: The Capital Gazette shooter, Jarrod Ramos, was the subject of a Capital article in which he's described threatening and harassing a woman on Facebook. According to the article, he had pleaded guilty in 2011 to a misdemeanor harassment charge.

    Case in point: most (if not all?) content even vaguely Nazi-esque is automatically blocked in France and Germany bc it’s illegal in those countries. Twitter has the technology to manage this stuff. They just choose not to.

    Dear - The number of steps to the Handmaid’s Tale really depends on the size and specific direction of those steps, wouldn’t you agree? cc:

    Barrett was also a member of a tightly knit Christian group called People of Praise, -- where men are referred to as “heads” & women are “handmaids” ― and taught that husbands are the heads of wives and should exercise authority over family.
