There can only be one. David Ortiz retired in 2016. Vlad started his minor league career in that same year.

Other law enforcement officers were present, including Officer Jason Klepec. Officer Klepec told Ms. Reid that he was filming her, in response to her filming the agents. After Ms. Reid was arrested, she was put into the backseat of a car driven by Officer Dinko Residovic. While Ms. Reid was sitting in the backseat, Officer Residovic viewed a video of the incident, captured by cellphone. Ms. Reid recalls that the video clearly showed what the government has alleged was an attempted knee to the groin. She recalls that the angle of the video shows that the knee was not directed at any law enforcement officer but was a reactive movement.

FPD for Sydney Reid (a woman accused of assault after cops manhandled her for filming an ICE arrest) say that the government did not preserve video that one of the officers watching took, which she claims is exculpatory.

They're moving to dismiss the case.

Federal Agents Storm South Shore Building, Detaining Families and Children Families were woken by flashbangs and helicopters as hundreds of federal agents raided their homes. Days later, neighbors are still searching for the missing.

Good reporting on the South Shore raid from South Side weekly here.

Confirms one thing I was told but didn't put in my own piece because I didn't have a second source and it seemed too insane: border agents segregated arrested residents by race

Checking in a bit early. Are we normal yet?

I can already tell that today is going to be an exhausting day to be Jewish on here.

Nope, see y'all tomorrow.

I dunno, I think if CNN ran this headline with a picture of three random pictures of physicists who *weren't* awarded the Nobel prize in 1992, and then tried to spin it like "if you read the article you will note that we reference these guys in paragraph 12" no one would think that was ok.

It is an almost absurdly simple observation, but a great many pathologies in military policy come from the tendency to reason from values which were in the past or are merely thought to be now, connected to victory, rather than reasoning *from victory* itself as a goal.

This is the context missing from Hegseth's speech because he's an idiot that doesn't understand anything: the standards didn't go down because of Woke, they went down because of the need to hit recruiting targets to maintain the force when 'more money' wasn't an option.

Soldier > No Soldier.

it's funny how so many people seem to have read this in the monetary sense and not the value sense

Trump Canceled 94 Million Pounds of Food Aid. Here’s What Never Arrived. ProPublica obtained records from the Department of Agriculture that detail the millions of pounds of food, down to the number of eggs, that never reached food banks because of the administration’s cut...

Records obtained by ProPublica indicate that food banks across the country were expecting more than 27 million pounds of chicken, 2 million gallons of milk, 10 million pounds of dried fruit and 60 million eggs that never arrived.

Kind of a problem that free speech perverts have made everything into a speech issue, because “everything” includes basically kidnapping children to lie at them until they are brainwashed into hiding their true selves.

this is a very very big story because of the apparently totally fake story ICE/DHS put out about what happened.

It's got a Know Your Meme page

"Spiritually Israeli" with a hard K

(Notably, this is the exact same thing racist reactionary Zionists do with Palestinians, by claiming some intrinsic, exceptionally false nature to the Palestinian national identity, and/or that Palestine has some essential sickness in its national soul, that produces violence & terror.)

"The lawmakers were: Sens. Lindsey Graham, Bill Hagerty, Josh Hawley, Dan Sullivan, Tommy Tuberville, Ron Johnson, Cynthia Lummis and Marsha Blackburn, as well as Rep. Mike Kelly."

Claim: 10 cars rammed ICE
Truth: No cars rammed ICE

Claim: She boxed ICE in
Truth: ICE boxed her in

Claim: She shot a rifle at ICE
Truth: She did not have a rifle

Claim: ICE returned fire
Truth: Only ICE fired

Claim: She drove herself to the hospital
Truth: Paramedics found her

Also, critically, the entire point of the meme is it's not actually about anything Israeli, it's making Israeli a byword for falsity and applying it to anything the speaker holds in contempt.

Which, you know, is basically always how antisemitism, especially, has operated!

You can just say "I would agree." You don't actually have to keep digging in to demonstrate that you don't actually agree that being racist is racist.

It's shit like this that makes me think The Youths have a real fuckin' problem.

Like check out this shit. How can the deputy director appoint himself GC? I ask as a general question and also with special emphasis on “deputy.”

Desperately need a law that says something like running a federal agency is a full time job and not something you can do in your spare time from another full time job.

Get rid of Republicans.

Everything you've just described—the impossibility of Court reform, the inability to attempt and fail at it, the Supreme Court's ruling, and the rise of American dictatorship—is the result of Republicans and conservatives abandoning the Constitution and democracy.

No, he wouldn't have. It would have been exactly the same. He would have made an interlocutory appeal citing Presidential immunity, and he would have won. Merrick Garland isn't the reason he never faced a jury; the Supreme Court said it is unconstitutional to make him face one.

He wouldn't have been convicted or jailed, just like he wasn't convicted or jailed on the criminal charges he faced. The Supreme Court threw them out.

The Supreme Court wouldn't have ruled differently.
