This showed up in my morning feed this morning. WARNING! Most of the chicken in the US is processed in Hall county Georgia. Many of the workers are of Katin American descent. Therefore, expect the price of Chicken to shoot up ad the goons/thugs do their thing.

Fwiw, I've met (and spent an unfortunate amount of time with) some deeply insecure, narcissistic people who smile when they're nervous. I think it's a form of self-assurance. "How can you disagree with me when I appear so confident?" But I might be reaching.

Living in Minnesota right now is wondering if your patient is late because they got caught in traffic, because they got arrested, or because they got detained and all of these are perfectly plausible and equally likely.

From @wired.com: โFederal records reveal ICE is secretly expanding into 150+ facilities across nearly every state โ many near schools, medical offices, and places of worshipโฆ DHS asked the General Services Administration to hide lease listings and bypass normal proceduresโฆโ๐ค

This is the second account - the first being in Chicago - of DHS agents mass detaining people and then *sorting them by race*.

Completely wrong headline from CNN. The report from a 2006 police interview with Trump ANSWERS questions. Specifically, it proves that (no surprise) Trump is lying when he says he had no idea what Epstein was up to.
CNN should not perpetuate the lies.

You're not wrong. In the event of a real emergency, I'd sooner call the fire department and/or my neighbors.

Yeah, I think the real story here is that people trust law enforcement less than ever, and most of us can only afford to go to work or sit at home, if we have a home. "Experts aren't sure why" is weak reporting. This article is half-finished, imo. Reports are down because people are afraid.

Yeah I dunno how to go about my day with the knowledge that there's concentration camps in my country with far worse conditions than our already terrible prisons AND we're like 50/50 on whether or not midterms can or will be legitimate

Right. Otherwise this is all just a spectacle for us peasants. Like, they're rubbing our noses in their shit.

That's an oversimplification but I'm tired. It's an ethnic cleansing campaign. It's not about immigration given they're just grabbing people who aren't white. (And harassing and killing some white people who are defending their immigrant neighbors.)

I hear from people who are surprised I'm still talking about ICE, they thought they'd withdrawn from MN.
No, they have not. In some respects they've escalated.
Some asked why MN is a target. Are there are there a lot more illegals or criminals here?
No, it's not about that. It's about a grudge.
