And yet, there it was, in plain English. "Welcome to ICE!"

My latest for Slate

TBH most of what I remember of letters of marque came from Sid Meier's Pirates!

ICE detains woman whose lawyer insists is US citizen. DHS says she isn't Federal agents arrested Dulce Consuelo Diaz Morales on her way home in Baltimore, Maryland.

He's not just tacky and tasteless. He's a monarchist, and so he's desecrating our iconic national symbol of having a republican head of state. Any of the Founders would have immediately clocked his Oval Office as vulgar Versailles wannabe crap, wholly incompatible with American norms and values.

2. I cheated
3. I bribed men to cover the crimes of other men
4. I am an accessory to murder

Let's talk about the last time the US government incarcerated an antire fucking ethnic group, because the warning signs are already there, & most Americans still call it "the internment," as if 120k Japanese Americans, 100k of whom were American citizens, spent 3 years at some government spa.

I always say it’s a well-rounded meal.
