I, for one, just learned that hair crashes.

The U.S. is the only democracy in the world with:

- Lifetime terms for high court judges
- An electoral college for choosing an executive
- A legislative chamber where legislative minorities routinely and permanently thwart legislative majorities
- 75% requirements for constitutional amendments

Masks, illegally changing plates on cars, brutal tactics, 70%+ innocent folks rounded up, lifelong trauma for families and communities; pretty much by every metric, ICE is not making anywhere safer, and has completely lost whatever plot there was re: their existence. They are the danger.

Jacob Frey: "If we are now at the point where the federal govt is deploying agents on legal American citizens with a goal of uprooting people who have formed lives here, have families here, started businesses here, definitively made Minneapolis a better place, everybody should be speaking out."

If only there had been signs that a group of below average men who espouse misogynist views and are led by an adjudicated rapist would treat their female colleagues poorly.

You have the right to record ICE.

You have the right to film any operation happening in public as long as you do not interfere or impede it.

Your camera is proof, but keep a safe distance. KEEP RECORDING.

Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.

Someone please leak the entirety of the Epstein Files so the world can move on from this stupidity and throw the criminals in prison to rot.

As many expected, the truth is finally coming out, they were just fishermen. The family of the Colombian man killed in the Sept. 15 U.S. military strike in the Caribbean Sea has now filed a formal complaint with the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, alleging

The wholesale murder of people in international waters, without due process, is a crime.

If left unchecked, it will lead to more such crimes.

This is how things work.

Letting them get away with it is the same as giving them permission to keep doing it.

I think it's a reasonable guess that a broad swath of politicians and wealthy donors (not just American) are on the list and they've exerted pressure to keep them secret.

Even with all the Epstein talk on the news, we really arenโ€™t talking enough about the significance of the scandal.

Itโ€™s not just the Republicans. The major donors for both political parties and at least one president from each party are directly connected to Jeffrey Epstein.

Fentanyl. Drug Overdoses, including Fentanyl, are not even in the top 20 causes of death in the USA. Cancer, Diabetes, Covid, Heart Disease all in the top 10, and all have had their research funding cut. They aren't murdering just Venezuelans. However they are killing us much slower.

Another way of dealing with online MAGA, which now the entirety of the GOP and fueled by neo Nazi Groyper language and tactics.

They want us to be silent, scared and forever bowing down to them.

Nah.

Van Hollen: "It's either murder from the first strike if their whole theory is wrong, and I think the weight of the legal opinion is they've concocted this ridiculous legal theory. But even if you accept it, then it is a war crime. I do believe the secretary of defense should be held accountable"

"โ€ฆ in the present instance, it was perfectly clear to the accused that killing defenceless people in the life-boats could be nothing else but a breach of the law. As naval officers by profession they were well aware โ€ฆ."

The pentagon papers were leaked changing history. I donโ€™t get why the Epstein files are so protected. Seems like there would be someone out there that would leak them.

If the Venezuelan sailors were enemy combatants, then the 2nd strike is a war crime.

If the Venezuelan sailors werenโ€™t enemy combatants, then both strikes are criminal murder.

Itโ€™s that simple.

There are specific reasons Trumpists want war on Venezuela, but thereโ€˜s a generic one: they crave power to make war on anyone, any time, for completely fabricated reasons, and then to use the guise of war to increase violence and repression everywhere, including home.

They are lawless bestial scum.
