What has the ECHR ever done for us?
Quite a lot actually, and we wrote it too.

You have black babies - literally kids under two years old - being zip-tied in the night and just under half of you are OK with it.

But 3 invasions of cities, one military buildup outside Venezuela, a government shutdown, and so many other things meant to distract have me convinced whateverβs in there is the biggest presidential scandal in U.S. history.
THE ECHR PROTECTS US ALL
We must protect it, not leave it
Laura K should be shut down.
Not only is her show hugely unbalanced, so is her (quite obvious) political opinion.
And the showβs crap, too.
Iβve just set ChatGPT to scan weekly for information about the proposed British national identity card.
Ostensibly I donβt have an issue with an ID card, but I have a concern about who the government might choose as outsourced partners for the extremely sensitive data management.
If you lie in realtime, you should be fact checked in realtime.

Generally I would wholeheartedly agree - but while I certainly wish Megan no ill will, sheβs done precious little with her fame and fortune except attempt to extend her fame and fortune.

Itβs snake-oil bullshit for those who, egregiously, wish to profit from faux-Christian fearmongering.
We've known since the 1971 Stanford Prison Experiment - which was halted after just six days - that it was entirely predictable that ICE agents would, as a consequence of their unchecked power over captives, become increasingly brutal. We saw where this ends up, in WW2.

ICE admits that up to 50% of arrests in its Chicago raids are "collateral.β These aren't statistics. They are parents taken from their children, neighbors taken from our communities. When does a "collateral" U.S. citizen child's trauma matter? This isn't law enforcement; it's a campaign of terror.

WHY arenβt local and state police - which I think you control? - taking a more active stance against violence, against failure to ID, against lack of warrants?
All I see is videos of police vests mixed in with ICE thugs - only we donβt know if any of them are actually ICE.
Come On!
