Wear a balaclava, a flak vest, carry a gun, say you're an ICE agent and you can do whatever the fuck you want? Is that how it works in the USA now? That's no longer a real country and should be getting completely shunned by the civilsed world.

So what seems clear from the intel, is that we probably should have reloaded the B2s, and gone for a second round. Instead the impulsive toddler was desperate to have a strong ending to the movie and declare a cease fire. This is a show to him, entertainment, and he’s the “star”

I don’t think this ICE will stop with immigrants. They’re going to keep going after more and more people. They may create new agencies with new names, but this is the blueprint for what the future they have in store for handling people they consider problematic.

Thousands of people lined up at the Minnesota Capitol to pay tribute to slain lawmaker Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark. Between the caskets was an urn containing the ashes of the family’s golden retriever, Gilbert.

They’re planning on building a detention center for migrants in the middle of the fetid swamps of Florida. If you think this is something new, the first internment camp they sent me and my family to in 1942 was a barbed wire prison called Rohwer. It was located in the swamps of Arkansas.
