I keep taking deep breaths and trying to focus on work and things of direct relevance to me, but I keep coming back to the fact that ICE murdered two people, video is absolutely crystal clear that they did, and no one's been fired, much less arrested. We still don't know the perpetrators' names.

This is like how the Catholic Church passed known pedophiles from parish to parish

Scott Adams: Too Dumb to Live Transcript: Okay, yes, usually I jump straight into the videoโ€™s topic but obviously today I need to start with some personal news: Iโ€™ve gone back to my natural hair color. Yes, two years ago I deciโ€ฆ

However stupid or bigoted you thought Scott Adams was, I'm here to share some trivia-bert that reveals he was actually way worse than that

Leading Report

@LeadingReport on twitter says

BREAKING: Some Minneapolis protesters are showing up with their babies as "shields" from law enforcement.

And DHS's official account quotes it with "do not bring your baby to a violent riot"

Or ... or you'll ... shoot the babies?

DHS I don't know if you were all absent on training day but you can't shoot babies even if you don't like their parents. There is nothing that can be happening with a baby that makes it ok to shoot babies.

On my way to the Supreme Court where I'll be proud to support 15-year-old Becky Pepper-Jackson, West Virginia's only transgender athlete, as she opposes the state's effort to ban her from playing as herself.

Win or lose, Becky and her family are heroes for standing up for what's right

Welcome to Project 2025: Donald Trump is not calling the shots. Stephen Miller, Peter Thiel, JD Vance, Russell Vought and Marco Rubio are among those who are. Trump is on his victory lap as their useful idiot. He could choke on a Big Mac tomorrow and it wouldnโ€™t matter. Not sure we can recover.

Canada's Prime Minister Mark Carney is accustomed to having his wording carefully scrutinized for what he says and what he doesn't say.

He often signals messages that are diplomatically worded to sound pleasant or neutral but contain political fuck yous.

Frozen Fascists tried to enter a Minneapolis McDonaldโ€™s kitchen without a judicial warrant. The security guard blocked their access while other staff called the owner.

The ICE pricks were trying to search for individuals but had no names & no warrant allowing entry into the private employee area.

I feel sorry for his kids, but Iโ€™m so glad he was caught. This is the caliber of ICE.

Hans and Sophie Scholl were arrested by the Gestapo on February 18, 1943, at the University of Munich after being caught distributing anti-Nazi leaflets. They, along with Christoph Probst, were tried and executed by guillotine on February 22 for high treason.
