Learn more about why ICE’s new policy that lets agents enter your home without a judicial warrant is dead wrong. joycevance.substack.com/p/breaking-t...

Legend has it that one pilot pointed his pistol at an airbase official trying to keep him from getting to the runway.

Loyalty was mutual. When we abruptly left Laos, CIA and military pilots flew unauthorized missions from our Thai airbases in β€œborrowed” aircraft into Long Tieng to bring out their abandoned comrades-in-arms and their families.

They were loyal and brave and effective. Our U.S. military attachΓ© in Laos Gen. Dick Trefry said after the war that were it not for the Hmong troops operating in Northern Laos, β€œthere’d be a thousand more names on the Vietnam Memorial” in Washington.

They opposed the communist Pathet Lao, and fought to protect their territorial home. They helped rescue downed pilots and disrupt the Ho Chi Minh Trail.

During the Vietnam conflict, the CIA supported a Hmong military force operating out of a base in Laos called Long Tieng, run by a general named Vang Pao.

The gentleman who ICE hauled without cause out of his home in his underwear into the icy Minnesota winter (after terrifying his 5-year-old grandson) was from Laos, one of the Hmong hill tribes people of the then-Kingdom of Laos.

You should know a bit about the background of those people.

Epiphany 4 next wk includes Matthew 5:1-12 esp. ”Blessed are the meek for they will inherit the earth.” Jesus is citing Ps 37:11, β€œBut the meek shall inherit the land and delight themselves in abundant prosperityβ€œ indicating that it is by God, not human force, that kind & humble people acquire land.

WATCH: "If they plan to engage in provocative actions, if they plan to deprive people of civil rights, civil liberties on our streets, and our cities and towns, they're not welcome here. Those tactics are not welcome," says Gov. Janet Mills as Maine braces for new ICE operations.

This is incredible: 81% of working class and 83% of young voters have seen video of Renee Good's killing, per new data I've obtained. Majority of working class disapproves of ICE enforcement. ICE brutality is breaking through big time.

Some thoughts on this here:

Maybe I'm a big dumb dumb, but everything else aside, if you shoot and kill the person driving a car towards you, isn't the car going to keep going towards you with no possibility of breaking or swerving? Like, that's exactly what happened after Ross shot Good.

Top central bankers back Fed chair Powell with 'full solidarity' in clash with Trump Central bankers from around the world said Tuesday they β€œstand in full solidarity” with U.S. Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, after President Donald Trump dramatically escalated his confrontation ...

Jerome Powell "has served with integrity, focused on his mandate and an unwavering commitment to the public interest," read the statement from nine central bank heads, including European Central Bank President Christine Lagarde and Bank of England Governor Andrew Bailey. https://to.pbs.org/4sTnLvs

Minneapolis pastor: ICE 'pointed a gun at me' and 'put me in the back of an SUV'
YouTube video by MS NOW Minneapolis pastor: ICE 'pointed a gun at me' and 'put me in the back of an SUV'

A Minneapolis pastor of an MCC church β€” a denomination rooted in LGBTQ equality β€” recounts being detained by ICE.

Says an ICE officer walked up to him as he was chanting β€œwe are not afraid.”

The agent, he says, raised his gun and said β€œare you afraid now?”

FOLKS IN MINNEAPOLIS:

SAVE all videos & photos from today. They will be valuable to prove the ICE agent --- who had time to move & re-position himself to the side of the victim's car to shoot into the driver's side window --- was not in reasonable fear of imminent serious physical injury or death.

You can draw a draw a straight line from a right wing YouTuber's unverified viral video about Somali American daycares to ICE showing up in Minneapolis to this killing.

This feels like a galvanizing moment for the city in the same way George Floyd's death was five years ago.

Perfect messaging from The Overpass Visibility Brigade:

They will murder unarmed citizens and then accuse them of wrongdoing. Zero sense of accountability or shame.

Earliest known coin minted in Scotland found in historic discovery The earliest known coin minted in Scotland – almost 900 years ago – has been acquired for the nation after it was found by a metal detectorist…

β€œScotland had never produced coinage before. Any Roman, Viking or medieval coins that are found in Scotland before this date have been minted elsewhere. Until this discovery, all of King David’s first, earliest coinage was minted in Carlisle.”
