‘Deport every person under the sun’: ICE detains Cubans during immigration appointments

Federal authorities in South Florida have recently detained at least 18 Cubans during scheduled immigration appointments, local attorneys say, highlighting that a group that has historically enjoyed special immigration benefits is not immune to the Trump administration’s intensified mass deportation efforts.

In recent years, hundreds of thousands of Cubans who crossed the U.S.-Mexico border have received I-220A forms, an Immigration and Customs Enforcement document that records someone’s release from custody subject to certain conditions.

“The Fraud”. I guess that’s just their blanket term now for what they think their savior is doing for them. 

The Fraud is an appropriate name for trump

Story about new Social Security requirements for accessing everything through a website and the effects on old folks in a small West Virginia town. Lots of confused seniors.

New Social Security requirements pose barriers to rural communities without internet, transportation

Good snippet on cuts and process:

“I don’t understand a lot of the stuff that’s going on right now, and I just can’t pinpoint things together, you know,” said Brenda Hughes, 72, who said she usually goes to the Social Security office in person anyway because she said she’s found it difficult to get a hold of the call center. “But maybe it’s meant to be like that.”

Mary Weaver, 72, said she doesn’t approve of Trump giving Elon Musk so much leeway to cut and change services, and she doesn’t see those measures helping McDowell County.

“He gone run for president, and he’s going to get the presidency, but he’s going to let someone else tell him how to run the country?” she asked, criticizing Trump’s relationship with Musk.

Other residents aren’t concerned. Barbara Lester, 64, said she wishes she could sit down with Trump and Musk and tell them they’re doing a fantastic job.

“And with all the money they’re saving from the fraud, they could afford to give their senior citizens an increase,” said Lester, who is retired from construction work.

@pyrohornIII this is what I was talking about the other day- for 30 years rural people have kept Republicans in power so that Republicans could make sure that that city people got the best of everything. 
Between this, the voucher shit, the kids leaving, the poor rural economy, and all the hospital closures, I simply can’t believe that with appropriate focus there isn’t enough material to flip 5-6% of the vote in counties under  300k.

Priced in. Here’s the deal- the culture war shit is so potent in part because it’s a way to connect people and places that are better off with moral decay and violence. Incidentally this is also true on the bottom rung of the socioeconomic ladder in big cities. 
But outside of the six largest metros and a handful of vacation destinations, things are pretty bleak. And they know it. They don’t need anybody to come up with scare stories on fox to show them the problem. So Democrats in Texas need to be on the ground, in Montague and Bandera and Terry and Anderson and Jasper and Aransas and all the other counties where the suicide rate is double the state average, talking about how shitty things are and pointing fingers.

Or, counterpoint: allow Republican accelerationist destruction to do its thing and kill them in droves. An eliminated GQP vote is an eliminated GQP vote. And I’m done with giving a shit about them. What has empathy gotten us? Just taken advantage of.

Medicaid expansion and school voucher issues are the easiest shots Texas Dems could attempt to work with rural republicans for overall support

There’s an opportunity for Democratic legislators to “work with rural Republicans” on wedge bills in the lege.
But the political opportunity for Texas Democrats is to flip or suppress some disaffected people in rural and exurban areas who don’t identify strongly with any party but vote Republican by default, which is probably a high single/low double digit number.

Did they know about the empathy? Did anybody tell them?

This has been going on for 30 years and I haven’t seen one campaign that led with “this place is dying and you voted for it.”

The GOP does really well among the uneducated in rural areas because a lot of the people who stay there are dumb and lazy and the GOP indulges in their desire to blame their lot on someone else. You’re no more than a two hour drive from a place where you can get a job and everything doesn’t suck, if you can’t figure it out and choose to stay there and put your kids in shitty schools, you’re not reachable by Democrats with policy solutions. 

Spot on. The goal is to figure out how to blame their life circumstance on the GOP. 

Try posting a laundry list of things the Democrats wanted rural folks to have, compared with the laundry list that their local congressman voted against.

“If your daughter or granddaughter dies because an ectopic pregnancy can’t get treated because your representative prohibited procedures to save her life, remember that the Democrats wanted her to live.”

But guess what ?  All of that maybe will get you 3 to 5% on your best day.  They have been brainwashed with alternative facts for decades, even if they aren’t active cult members.

They aren’t going to blame Trump, so you need to start running ads saying “Democrats would never let Elon Musk decide what parts of the federal government to dismantle. Vote for us one time so we can stop him using an ax when you need a scalpel”

10% might vote for you one time if they think they can keep their job.

See I think this is too much.  The lawyerly impulse to cite evidence is great for court but dilutes clear themes for Democrats. As usual, I think Trump had the right approach when he told groups that Democrats take for granted “what the hell do you have to lose?”

Democrats should say that, except to rural and exurban whites.

How about "Republicans have been in charge here for 35 years.  Is your life better than it was 35 years ago?  Didn't think so.  Let's try something else."

I would love to be on the other side of this argument, but I wouldn't believe a word I was saying. You're right.

I've mentioned a terrific article in Atlantic a couple of months ago about the Kingdom Christians. In Vanity Fair with Selena Gomez on the cover, there's a great and demoralizing article about the Catholic Right that starts with Candace Owens' conversion and expands from there. 

Between the Catholics and the Protestant hate movements, I don't see much room for persuading these people of anything. If you're local preacher/priest or lay person has told you that Trumpist hate politics are the will of God, and you believe it, I don't see convincing you of the relative advantages of policy.

Writing the above reminded me of Adam Schiff's voice against Trump. Still breaks my heart.

Quote

Can any of us really have the confidence that Donald Trump will put his personal interests ahead of the national interests? Is there really any evidence in this presidency that should give us the ironclad confidence that he would do so? Adam Schiff: (06:00) You know you can't count on him to do that. That's the sad truth. You know you can't count on him to do that.

The American people deserve a President they can count on to put their interests first, to put their interests first. Colonel Vindman said, "Here, right matters. Here, right matters." Well, let me tell you something, if right doesn't matter, if right doesn't matter, it doesn't matter how good the Constitution is. It doesn't matter how brilliant the framers were. Doesn't matter how good or bad our advocacy in this trial is. Doesn't matter how well written the Oath of Impartiality is. If right doesn't matter, we're lost.

Adam Schiff: (07:14) If the truth doesn't matter, we're lost. Framers couldn't protect us from ourselves, if right and truth don't matter. And you know that what he did was not right. That's what they do in the old country, that Colonel Vindman's father came from. Or the old country that my great grandfather came from, or the old countries that your ancestors came from, or maybe you came from.

But here, right is supposed to matter. It's what's made us the greatest nation on earth. No constitution can protect us, right doesn't matter any more. And you know you can't trust this President to do what's right for this country. You can trust he will do what's right for Donald Trump. He'll do it now. He's done it before. He'll do it for the next several months. He'll do it in the election if he's allowed to. This is why if you find him guilty, you must find that he should be removed. Because right matters. Because right matters and the truth matters. Otherwise, we are lost.

So, to the Trumpists in the hinterlands:

And I know his fate.

Decent but Democrats need to be attention grabbing, and that takes shock. It would also be smart to start co-opting their words, e.g: “Texas is dying. What the hell do you have to lose?” And “Make Texas Great Again.”

Social programs and human empathy don't fly in the US in general because a sizeable percentage of the population doesn't want anyone who doesn't look like them to benefit from anything. They would rather suffer themselves to ensure of that. You can't reach people with that mentality. It's been like that for a couple centuries and why the US has fallen behind other 1st world nations.

This story is 100% true. Yesterday we were coming back from the Legends Event Center in Bryan. My daughter's volleyball club pulled her up from the 17u team to 18u so they could win a bid to go to nationals, which they did. We are passing by the Death Star and my daughter says she wants to drive through their campus. So we go by the Dixie Chicken, and then cut through their campus sports complex. She is making fun of it the whole time. Where are the trees. Pretty nice for a cult and all that. These are her own conclusions from what she knows of kids who went there and came home to visit. We come up on a wall where someone has painted an upside down longhorn with "saw em off" on it. She starts asking why they are so obsessed with UT.

So we get home and she is telling the wife about it. I realize she knows nothing of Yell Leaders. So we sit down and I pull up a Youtube video of a midnight yell. She watches, mouth agape, periodically yelling out "what the hell!". We get to the part where one of the yell leaders does a few moves then those jazz hands they do while spinning and going to a knee. My daughter, junior in high school, gets up and repeats it while putting a little extra femininity on it..

My daughter- "Look at the little fairy boy", she says while recreating the dance in our family room

 Me- No. It's a huge deal to be a yell leader there. Dudes have been lining up to be one for 100 years

My daughter- There is no way that dude is straight

Wife- He is straight

My daughter- They probably go back to the locker room and whack each other off. "My girlfriend doesn't do it like you", she says in her best boy voice

Me-  Bust out laughing

Wife- trying not to laugh(doesn't wanna encourage that kind of talk), and not choke on her drink, "We don't talk like that!"

Daughter- I'm just saying....

 

Happened last night. Teenage girls are brutal.


Such a target rich environment with a.) daughter b.) 17 yo daughter at that c.) volleyball daughter and the mental image that brings up d.) whacking off dudes talk e.) aggy hating volleyball daughter who talks of whacking off dudes and f.) wife too?

To honor of the upcoming Passover holiday, I am skipping over this post as to not somehow bring plague upon my posts.

“Billionaires are the REAL ‘they’.  They will NEVER be for you!”

So this has been bothering me for the last month. People say Billionaires as if it's some huge list of people. Just list the actual billionaires every time who are benefiting directly from some policy or whatever is going on. 

When you frame it as "the billionaires" it makes them seem like some huge group of people. It's just a handful of mostly horrible and evil pieces of shit.

All correct. However, we cannot assume she is 17 as it’s a 17U club she’s on. If she is 17 currently, I would like to wish her a happy 18th birthday. @Thatguy when might that be?

 

also, fairy boy is not the preferred nomenclature.
