Under the Big Sky

This is not going to end well. Sooner or later an American citizen is going to get killed.

Yes. They keep telling us who they are and what their agenda is. They're not trying to hide it or be coy about it. Society has to respond in kind. Starting with the elites.

Legal insurrection>illegal insurrection

Along with the horrific nature of his detention, this is a colossal waste of money:

“Two to four uniformed guards have been continuously stationed in Petitioner's hospital room, monitoring him at all times .. while he sleeps, eats, uses the bathroom.”

Genuinely incredible how unprofessional these guys are. One dude yelling in your face and you immediately assault them on camera?

When you drag a woman by the hair, beat her and force her to kiss your flag, that’s how you tell the world you are the Good Guys

Anyone at all invested in their work would be furious about being made a fool like this but not Gianforte. No integrity, no interest in MT, no soul.

Update: The Committee to Protect Journalists says Mario Guevara was deported from the United States early Friday.

There is a gulf in America. I submit it is the gulf between good and evil, or at least not-evil and evil.

The gulf is not just between people who oppose this and people who are indifferent to it or reluctantly accept it in support of immigration policy or see it as collateral damage.

Jamal Khashoggi, the Washington Post, and the Cost of Speaking Out As Saudi Arabia hosts comedians and courts gamers, the silenced voice of Jamal Khashoggi still echoes.

Washington Post dismantled the platform Jamal wrote on. Discarded the fellowship they created in his memory.

They fired me unjustly for speaking the truth.

But I’ll never stop talking about my friend, writer, and amazing human, Jamal Khashoggi.

RIP, Jamal.

Montana *is* made worse by people who aren't from here. Very specific ones like our...

* Governor who was raised in Pennsylvania
* Congressman Zinke who lives in California more than Montana and was too corrupt for the first Trump administration

Surreal moment for America. Needless to say, if the normal police ever pulled something like this — pulling every single person out of an apartment building and handcuffing them to run warrant checks — they would be sued into oblivion.

Yet ICE is going to get away with it entirely.

An “immigration judge” is not an actual judge in the judicial branch. They are a DOJ employee.

As Judge Young, an actual judge, made clear in one of the truly essential parts of his Tuesday ruling. www.lawdork.com/p/judge-will...

Here's a cookie cutter. Make some cookies

Pritzker compares Trump to Putin, calls for invoking 25th Amendment for suggesting military use Chicago as "training grounds" After President Trump suggested Chicago should be used as "training grounds for our military," Gov Pritzker said the 25th Amendment should be invoked to remove the president from office, saying "there...

"It appears that Donald Trump not only has dementia set in, but he's copying tactics of Vladimir Putin. Sending troops into cities, thinking that that's some sort of proving ground for war.. is just, frankly, inane and I'm concerned for his health"

OTD in 1938 Nazi Germany started occupying the Sudetenland. The west tried to appease Hitler by giving him bits of someone else's country without them being at the discussion.

This was awful of the West. Which is why we want the same thing for Ukraine today.

Sounds ruff🙂

Another violent attack by an ICE officer on a civilian at 26 Federal Plaza—this time on a journalist, who had to be carried out on stretcher.

Another attack on the First Amendment, our neighbors, and our democracy.

Drop whatever you’re doing and read the last 15 pages of this 161-page opinion. I’m serious.

Judge William Young’s opinion reads like a mini-novel (based only on having read the first and last pages so far).

In light of the felon’s speech at the Pentagon today — its significance is all the more great. Fu*k Donald Trump and God bless America.

This passage nearly broke me.

How long till he offers a bounty for every Democrat a supporter kills?

He's a real fuckin unifier

In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists when unprovoked — what would we call it?

If federal agents marched down streets demanding papers — what would we say?

Authoritarianism — let’s not pretend it’s something else when it happens in our American cities.

ICE brutally detains U.S. citizen just for filming—knocking her unconscious.

"Agents took her to a side alley, beat her up, then called an ambulance," witness said.

"Then they kidnapped her from the hospital—without a formal discharge—and took her to Downtown LA Detention Center."
