“Five cops have been murdered in Las Vegas in the last 25 years. Meanwhile, in just 10 years over 140 people have been killed by Las Vegas area cops. The body count continues to rise, while the level of accountability still sits at zero.” – Gail Sacco #AbolishThePolice #SupportYourLocalCopWatch

“Habaneros” Mexican restaurant in Auburn. Kind of an odd name to choose, if you think about it. Decent burrito/enchilada combo platter. They have a pretty broad selection of vegetarian options compared to most Mexican restaurants in Auburn. In retrospect I probably should have tried the potato tacos or similar, which I was pretty excited to see. They prominently feature a lot of different kinds of booze, which is probably wise from a marketing standpoint.

Democratic Presidents have always placed politics ahead of the lives of immigrants. Just a reminder that the Clinton administration’s lockdown on urban crossings led directly to the deaths of thousands of migrants in the Sonoran Desert crossing. He killed thousands of people because he and Rahm Emmanuel thought it would be good politics to do so. http://ift.tt/1lGKZAe “The illegal immigration legislation provides that same opportunity; now that the legislation is passed we can build up a strong Administration record on immigration. . .

Halfway through your term you want to claim a number of industries free of illegal immigrants [sic]. . . . I would recommend that the INS secure key metropolitan areas along the border. The National Guard role should be expanded beyond its present functions. You should dramatically expand this effort. The National Guard can coordinate with their Mexican counter parts.” – Rahm Emanuel “This is great.” – Bill Clinton #NoBorders #EndInternationalApartheid #ForgetDemocrats

“We have to send a clear message. Just because your child gets across the border, that doesn’t mean the child gets to stay. So we don’t want to send a message that is contrary to our laws or will encourage more children to make that dangerous journey.” – Hillary Rodham Clinton This is the most evil sentiment that I have read all day. Children’s bodies are not Post-It Notes for you to write political messages on. Their lives are not yours to seize and confiscate for the purposes of communicating your nationalist ideas about borders and respect for the law. If you think that they are, I don’t want to be part of the “we” that you’re part of. You don’t act with my consent. You don’t do this in my name. #NotOneMore #StopDeportation #AbolishBorders #EndInternationalApartheid

Remember back when Barack Obama got U.S. soldiers out of Iraq? Boy howdy, that was a time.

Power makes you stupid. #ToHellWithProhibition OK everyone, quiz time, identify the logical fallacy: “There is ample experience that a drug user harms not only himself, but also many others. . . And I’m not just talking about heroin. Over the past decade, as marijuana use has grown, the number of car accident victims testing positive for the drug has tripled, according to a recent study. . .” — Former Narc-in-Chief John P Walters
