What is truth?
Author: Raine    Date: 04/07/2025 13:23:38

Just because I say my neighbor boils puppies, does that make it true? Normally, the answer is no, unless I can provide proof. Today, if I accused my neighbor of such a thing and if it furthered confirmation bias of a political party, my neighbor would be taken into custody.

That is what is happening with immigrants. Tom Homan declares someone a gang member, and the person is whisked away to what the border czar says is not a jail. Here is a quote: “First of all, the family is not in a jail. They’re in a family residential center, it’s an open air campus.” Seriously.
Homan has been decidedly less concerned about his neighbors, vocally supporting the actions of immigration officials. He claimed in a local TV news interview on Wednesday that the children and their mother were potential witnesses to the alleged crime and that they had to be detained for questions. And he was sure to make one thing clear: “First of all, the family is not in a jail. They’re in a family residential center, it’s an open air campus.”

These types of arrests—known as “collateral detention”—are becoming more common. “What we have been seeing is ICE at random detaining people who are not the people they’re looking for,” Murad Awawdeh, president and CEO of the New York Immigration Coalition, told The Intercept. “They go in allegedly looking for someone else and then they’ll take whoever they can find just so they can meet their quota numbers that Donald Trump has put in place.”

As protesters marched by Homan’s waterfront home on Saturday, a sign on a neighbor’s lawn—a photo of which was shared with me by rally attendee Ginger Storey-Welch—read: “WE NO LONGER HAVE A DIFFERENCE IN POLITICAL OPINION. WE HAVE A DIFFERENCE IN MORALITY.
They are disappearing children, again. The man has become. pariah in his very conservative hometown along the St. Lawrence River. The man lies and calls it truth. His lies are truly evil.

Just remember this: Nazi's Used Trains ICE Uses Planes.

People are being disappeared. That is the truth.

Just incredible. Hassett never said the 90-day pause thing. The upward move in the market this morning appears to have been entirely driven by fake news started on Twitter/X

CNBC's WH correspondent says that "nobody [in the West Wing] is aware of any plans for any kind of 90 day pause, at least right now. Officials in the West Wing are checking to find out if this is an accurate report, but no information and no confirmation," at this time.
