We already have a warrant requirement. It's called the US Constitution. If that's not fucking binding them, what the hell does your little agreement mean?

As Tom Waits says, "The world is a hellish place, and bad writing is destroying the quality of our suffering."

friend of mine is an undocumented immigrant and has been hiding in Melania theaters bc he knows people assume no one is in there

daendeleon 2d @ Threads Greg Bovino was asked how he felt about his demotion today. "Well, obviously, I'm not happy", he replied. Someone in the crowd shouted back, "So which one are you?"

just choked on my beverage

We did not properly punish the confederates. We did not properly punish the insurrectionists on January 6th. We have to punish ICE.

They can’t be allowed to slink back into their communities quietly. Expose them. Arrest them. Convict them. Imprison them.

And sometimes, you're hopelessly out of your depth and don't know what you're doing.

And you don't know that you don't know what you're doing.

very telling...

I sometimes wish the Democratic Party in Congress consisted of any 260 people in the Minneapolis telephone directory rather than the 260 dignitaries now representing us.

Americans can't, either.

We’re just not a free country.

Any American watching this play out between regime forces and journalists overseas would recognize it for what it is.

Seems like a good video for his trial

A Running Count of How Many People ICE Has Killed and Injured - The American Prospect ICE is not required to report any use-of-force incidents against the public. So The American Prospect created our own running tally.

We are publishing a running list of deaths and woundings as a result of the interior enforcement blitzkrieg across the country.
That includes deaths during apprehension and deaths in custody. This will be consistently updated.
Currently, there are 8 dead, 9 wounded, & 35 deaths in custody.

How do you say "Schadenfreude" in Afrikaans?

if a tree falls and nobody hears it...

You weren't wrong:

- they're wearing crisp, matching uniforms,

In Barry Blitt’s latest Kvetchbook, Donald Trump continues to argue with the Danish.

Thank you, Mr. President.

It makes sense: she *did* serve him ice cream as a child.

No, not that kind...

Jew in Amsterdam here. Please use Anne Frank as a comparison point to explain how state persecution of scapegoats impacts children, that is the point of her example, thanks

To say aloud that the vice president is friends with Nazis and to point out that his Holocaust tweet is crafted so as not to offend them is to sound crazy to everyone who doesn’t know both are stone cold facts. Frustrating thing.

overlay the covid graph (US vs sensible response countries) and that's a hell of a lot of dead Americans...

Underneath the name Charlie Hebdo is a pile of bloodied dead bodies representing US citizens killed by ICE. The pile of bodies are collected in one corner to represent the stars of the US flag and the streaks of blood caused by them being dragged across the ground form the red and white stripes. In the foreground an armed skinhead officer with an ICE vest is dragging his latest victim with multiple gunshots to join the pile. The world is watching in horror.

Wow.

The front page of tomorrow’s Charlie Hebdo magazine in France.
