In 1854, after watching the federal government deploy 2000 federal troops and spend $40,000 sending Anthony Burns back into slavery, Boston's Amos Adams Lawrence said β€œwe went to bed one night old-fashioned, conservative, Compromise Union Whigs and waked up stark mad Abolitionists.”

I think easier better is lottery for top 4, 1 ball per win. You lose half your balls for each playoff series win. Finals teams out of lottery, conference finals no top 2 pick, after top 4 by record. Rewards all wins, nobody will throw playoff series for slight odds improvement.

Authoritarian regimes make you feel like shit because they will never admit they’re losing.

But Trump is losing β€” and it’s because of the organizing work you’re doing.

Less than 14% of those ICE arrested had violent criminal records, data show The official DHS statistics, which had not been previously reported, provide the most detailed look yet into who ICE has arrested during the Trump administration's crackdown.

Less than 14% of nearly 400,000 immigrants arrested by ICE in Trump's first year back in the White House had charges or convictions for violent criminal offenses, according to an internal Department of Homeland Security document obtained by CBS News.

What would you think of: lottery for top 4, you get a ball per win, each playoff series victory cuts your balls in half, finals teams get 0 balls, conf finals can’t get top 2 pick, after top 4 you fill in by record (worst 5th etc). Always good to win, best top 4 odds for middle best pick avg for bad

If you want to FINALLY watch Scott Bessent get pinned down on specifics about the illegal money laundering operation being conducted by the Trump admin from someone who knows WTF he’s talking about, this clip is your chance. Bessent gets destroyed.

You may not have heard, but it’s important. Dems are holding shadow hearings on ICE crimes. Witnesses provided harrowing and explosive accounts yesterday. I provide some highlights from the day, and I urge everyone to watch and amplify them. Link in the replies.

This is correct. And note, WSJ, NYT, WaPo and the major networks simply ignore what is batshit crazy, thinking you don't need to know about it.

"I saw Prince Andrew and Donald Trump. He wanted me to give Prince Andrew a massage, but I didn't feel good about that. I wonder if he was offering me to him to do more. Ghislaine was not involved in that."

This giant ICE Army they are building this year is also likely to be at polling places during the midterms in heavily Democratic precincts with the excuse being that they are looking for β€œillegals trying to vote.”

Red: Alex Pretti's gun was always holstered until removed by an ICE agent.

Blue: Alex Pretti's hands were never close to his gun.

Orange: The ICE agent's gun was not fired until Alex Pretti was disarmed.

Conclusion: This was an execution by ICE of an unarmed man.

So, hypothetically, if you were to make a solo-cup-in-chain-link-fence message over an overpass, you’d be putting in the letters backwards. And, again hypothetically, you might want a template for that.

Hypothetically.

What consequences can he impose? I understand the desire to see these horrors stop but I think the only thing that really stops it is mass protests and Republican opinion turning against the administration.

The newest video shows very clearly that they attacked him for coming to an aid of a woman that the agents pushed, and then executed him while he was immobilized. Everything the government has said, like with Good, has been a complete lie.
