One of the incidents in which ICE agents pepper sprayed a child because it wasn't white enough.

Reports Emerge Claiming M23 Detained Blackwater Founder Erik Prince in Eastern DRC

Half of me thinks Erik Prince is in a lot of trouble. The other half thinks, "M23 is an amoral war criming militia guilty of atrocities and massacres, so maybe he's the new CEO." kigalidailynews.rw/reports-emer...

ICE's Masks Are All a Lie Working for ICE is actually less dangerous than being an elementary school student in America.

If you can’t police in a free society without hiding your face, the problem is with the policing β€” not the public. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/ice-s-mask...

Drag him. No matter how callous or self-deluded he might be, every time you force a thought like this on a person, it plants a seed. Even if it all it does is cause him some internal discomfort, good. It should be happening with far greater regularity.

Very good, I was waiting for someone to start asking those exact questions. Break through their veil of fake religiosity not backed by deeds.

James Talarico says Democrats win by widening coalition State Rep. James Talarico pitched his candidacy to The Dallas Morning News' editorial board.

Translation: James Talarico says Democrats win by appealing to Republicans.

And this, friends, is why I'm supporting Jasmine Crockett in the Texas senate primary. Dozens of candidates have tried "widening the coalition" for 25 years and all have failed. It's time to try turning out the base.

So, You're Not An Activist, White Friend? Well, it's About Damn Time You Became One. White friend, you’re not an activist.

I'll never forget former Los Angeles mayor Eric Garcetti saying, "In a good economy, homelessness goes up."

A perfect encapsulation of what happens when a "strong economy" is measured by everything except whether workers can afford necessities like housing or healthcare.

You know things are bad when the WSJ puts it this plainly:

"The rewards are going toward capital instead of labor. Profits have soared since the pandemic, and the market value attached to those profits even more. The result: Capital is triumphant, while the average worker ekes out marginal gains."

Screenshot of a Wall Street Journal article titled "The Big Money in Today’s Economy Is Going to Capital, Not Labor." Two charts show trends since 1980: corporate profits rising as a share of gross domestic income, while labor compensation steadily declines.

The Wall Street Journal just illustrated the core argument of my book: a system rigged to reward capital over labor is one in which even full-time work no longer secures the most basic material needs.

This is the economic order that produces the "working homeless."

Aside from all the other reasons not to believe these people, every one of the β€œvehicle attacks” I’ve seen scrutinized were either totally phony -like Renee Goods. Or ones where like an ice agent rammed the purported assailant. Like that woman in Chicago

Emails from 2016 Show Amazon Ring's Hold on the LAPD Through Camera Giveaways In March 2016, β€œsmart” doorbell camera maker Ring was a growing company attempting to market its wireless smart security camera when it received an email from an officer in the Los Angeles Police Depa...

Since we're re-litigating Ring's sins: How did they grow so fast?

Until 2016, Ring gave out free/discounted cameras to police & giving cops perks if the public (including victims of crimes) used the officer's discount code to buy cameras--all of which meant Ring essentially made cops salespeople.

Rep. Raskin Confirms β€˜Troubling’ And β€˜Unnecessary’ Epstein File Redactions

Jamie Raskin said he reviewed an email sent from Epstein to co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell that was a forwarded conversation between Epstein’s lawyers and lawyers for Donald Trump.

The DOJ (illegally) redacted Trump's name in the public files.
What else are they hiding?

After a church got robbed, Ring offered police free cameras to help w/ the investigation adding:

β€œIf the church sees value in the devices, perhaps it's something that they can talk about with their members. Let's talk more about this on the phone, but for now, I'll get those devices sent out ASAP.”

Lutnick and Epstein co-invested in Adfin in 2012. Files show they discussed business until 2014, contradicting claims that ties ended in 2005. They also coordinated on NYC real estate and political fundraising through 2018.

Yes. This is why you should beware of people who speak of the lessons or verdict of history as if future students of evil will always judge it harshly rather than glorify and aspire to it. If history teaches anything it is that history will not conform to your pleasant delusions at some later date.

Ask Thomas Massie and Ro Khanna directly about Peter Thiel and Elon Musk’s friendship with Jeffrey Epstein and their ties to Russian intelligence.

This nexus is an ongoing threat to our national security.

We can get to the rest after they are taken care of.

Inside the Podcast that Hacks Ring Camera Owners Live on Air In the NulledCast hackers livestream the harassment of Ring camera owners after accessing their devices. Hundreds of people can listen.

Ring's security defaults were so bad for a while, and people's cameras were being hacked so regularly that hackers on Discord created a "podcast" where they would hack into people's Ring cameras and terrorize people's children through the built-in microphones

This is why domestic "shuffle" flights between ICE detention centers have skyrocketed, much moreso than ICE deportation flights.

When you are moved to a different jurisdiction, you have to refile your habeas petition all over again. They want to wear people down so they'll give up on their cases.
