It really is amazing how much of political punditry, *especially* elite outfits in NYC and Washington, still embrace this bizarre idea that rural spaces represent the "Real America" while metropolitan areas, where most (presumably real) Americans actually live, should be held in contempt.

This is so great. He gives me hope because when @kim.senate.gov posted about the kids running away on FB, all the trolls came out to cheer ICE and to accuse the *kids* of running away because they were βguilty.β Theyβre such POSs.

Itβs official: Republicans have let funding for FEMA, TSA and the Coast Guard lapse.
Rather than work with House Democrats on commonsense reforms to ICE, Republicans have chosen to SHUT DOWN the entire Department of Homeland Security.

A newly unsealed FBI interview shows an entire Deutsche Bank staff team internally tried to cut ties with Jeffrey Epstein in 2015, after seeing wires to young women. One compliance officer says she was later pushed out and fired after raising the issue. Management kept the accounts open.

If ICE and CBP don't want to be called secret police, then don't wear masks.Β
Β
If they don't want to be accused of kidnapping, then don't drag people out of cars & houses without warrants.
Β
And if they don't want to be accused of being lawless, then start following the law.

The Israeli government allows these Zionist animals living on stolen land funded by the Israeli government (they don't work) so they have plenty of time to beat murder torture and terrorize the Palestinians whose land they have not stolen yet!

Tear Gas Is Way More Dangerous Than Police Let On
In the middle of a respiratory pandemic, law enforcement agencies have used tear gas in especially dangerous ways. The chemical agent also seeps into homes, contaminates food, furniture, skin and surf...
Tear gas is banned in international warfare, yet classified as a βriot control agentβ that law enforcement can use for crowd control.
βIt just doesnβt work well, and it hits the weakest people the most, and causes the most complications in them,β an anesthesiology professor at Duke University said.

Good to see that many Dem elected officials now want to be seen getting involved in the cases of immigrants who have been wrongly detained by ICE.
Let's spare a word for @vanhollen.senate.gov, who did this for Kilmar Abrego Garcia back when wise pundits said this was politically dangerous.
