I don't know what to do with this quote

[hasanabi @hasanthehun]

no state has “a right to exist.” people have a right to exist. nazi germany had no right to exist, neither did rhodesia. israel as an apartheid state doing a genocide has no “right to exist” in its current formation.

Insane story from @radleybalko about agents showing up at a lawyer's home to intimidate him about representing immigrants. They appear to have cut his wifi to turn off his ring cam recording. As Radley notes, it fits with a pattern of immigration attorney intimidation.

pretending to be victimized by a performance he agreed to doing and then profiting off that “victimization” is actually a perfect encapsulation of the conservative persecution grift industrial complex

I've seen enough: Susan Crawford defeats Brad Schimel in the Wisconsin Supreme Court election, preserving liberals' 4-3 majority.

A woman was assaulted at her job at a nursing home.

She reported it to Michigan police.

The police department alerted ICE, and now she's being deported.
