There's no legitimate reason for ICE to exist. CBP has been corrupt for half a century. The problem of ICE is solved by eliminating ICE. The other problem is solved by aggressive prosecution. FBI, DEA, Fed Marshals are law enforcement agencies. They can deal with predators and drug dealers.

There's a lot of red flags with that company. It might end up driving billions in fraud.

The real hardcore socialists will probably agree with that. Most would say they're a useful ally... For now.

They're not waiting for the perfect candidate. It's not Biden or Harris they dislike. It's the idea of government that they dislike. They're arsonists. They want to burn it down. It just so happens that Democrats are usually the biggest obstacle in their way.

To be fair, there is a significant correlation between misogynists and populists.

Pinwheel Galaxy in Ursa Major.

A spiral galaxy in somewhat sparse field of dim stars with a few brighter ones. It has a small bright core that gradually fades outward into loosely wound spiral arms. The arms look misty and irregular shaped, with patches of slightly brighter clumps that are star-forming regions.

They say malaria killed half of all humans that have ever lived. That's probably not true and would be very difficult to verify but it's close to that. It's the number one killer in human history by a long shot. So you could probably put DDT on that list.

You can't see it in the image above because the center is overexposed, but it's the four stars in the center here that are lighting everything up. It's called the Trapezium.

It's cloudy tonight but the Super Moon is bright enough to shine through. We won't see anything else in the central Maryland sky tonight though.

Full Moon on a black sky. Several maria (dark flat areas) and large craters are visible. Tycho is quite prominent in the lower right. It's a large crater with bright rays extending out from it.

The #Sun this morning. The large #sunspot groups are working their way across the face. Just some C-class and B-class flares and no earth-directed CMEs so the chances of a light show on Earth are pretty low.

They say it's the same group from last month that gave us the nice aurora, so maybe we'll get lucky.

There's a new big group of Sun spots coming around, producing some X-class flares. At least one this morning anyway. Doesn't look like we'll get any auroras from it yet though.

Image of the Sun with a large group of irregularly shaped sun spots on the lower left. A few smaller spots on the left and right sides and a pair of very small ones near the center. They are dark brown with lighter areas surrounding. The Sun's surface is granulated deep orange with a few lighter areas throughout.
