U.S. citizen was running errands. After ICE stop, she ended up at the hospital instead
YouTube video by The Oregonian U.S. citizen was running errands. After ICE stop, she ended up at the hospital instead

ICE is stopping people, damaging property, beating the shit out of them, then realizing the victim is either documented/citizen & leaving them on the street. These are use of force crimes under the color of law & our local & state prosecutors MUST START FILING CHARGES!

It bears repeating that Tom Homan is a fucking psycho and Greg Bovino's exile means functionally nothing when it comes to what's happening on the ground in Minnesota.

#BirdGlamour celebrates #SuperbOwl by revisiting my first Glam in 2017, the Short-eared Owl! Short-eared Owls are found in the grasslands of all continents except Australian & Antarctica. They are also far travelers: there are accounts of Short-eared Owls landing on ships 100s of miles from land!🧪🐡🐦

Opinion | The world heard JD Vance being booed at the Olympics. Except for viewers in the US — Guardian US The real risk for American broadcasters is not that dissent will be visible. It is that audiences will start assuming anything they do not show is being hidden

The boo heard ‘round the world…except here.

Ossoff: We were told that MAGA was for working-class Americans. But this is a government of, by, and for the ultra-rich. It’s the wealthiest Cabinet ever. This is the Epstein class. They are the elites they pretend to hate.

You have to do it every year as oppose to every 5 (I think) with a colonoscopy. I’m fine with once a year. :)
