It's pure evil shit and then they had the audacity to straight up lie that they didn't do it but Community Notes actually brought receipts. Truly a fucked up bunch of assholes. Also partially owned by Columbus Blue Jackets goalie Pheonix Copley.

Fed. judge accuses ICE agents of "apparently perjurious testimony," fabrication of evidence, false statements, fundamental misconceptions about ICE agents' authority, and more. Case involves the accidental arrest of a U.S. citizen who had to get stitches. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
So, the thought is that after issuing a fraudulent arrest warrant stating that petitioner’s information was part of the system when it was not and indicating that he could be biometrically identified even though they had not collected the information to make a positive match, Cuni attempted to reconcile these falsehoods by subsequently collecting the information, adding it to those systems and, after issuing the warrant, searching the databases again to “find” him.

Please don't pick up canisters shot at you by police. Even if you can differentiate between tear gas and stun grenades, both of those canisters burn hot or explode and can seriously injure you Throwing it back at the cops might be rad, but the mvmt also needs you with all of your limbs intact

The Constitution allows it. South Korea has proven it works. If you want to make impeachment viable—and so much else is pointless if you don't—then it can be done by a simple majority adopting a simple rules change: vote on the verdict by secret ballot.

A Democratic Senate Should Adopt Secret Impeachment Ballots on a Priority Basis
Such a change, requiring no constitutional amendment, would free senators to vote their judgment instead of their fears

Kansas Teamsters Back Pro-Labor Candidate for U.S. Senate
Press Contact: Kara Deniz Phone: (202) 497-6610 (Topeka, Kan.) - Today, Teamsters Local 696 endorsed Senator Roger Marshall (R-KS) for re-election to the U.S. Senate.
"Sen. Marshall has proven time and time again that he is a friend of labor," said Teamsters General President Sean M.
O'Brien. "As a member of the U.S. Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions, Sen. Marshall has been eager to partner with us on legislation that protects workers, even when it requires breaking rank with his own party. We look forward to continuing to work together with Sen. Marshall to fight for the rights of hardworking Americans."

If you’ve read about TN this week, please take a moment with this piece if you didn’t read it when we published it: It’s an investigation into the execution team Alabama has put together. It’s officers with a history of violence who choose each other. Eye-opening to what happens in executions.

The image is of a four panel comic. The title reads "Poltergeist".
In the first panel we see a woman with a worried expression on her face. She says, "stuff keeps moving around my house."
In the second panel the same woman says "I'm terrified. I can't sleep."
In the third panel we see a ghost holding a candle and a pillow that reads "live laugh love". The ghost is zooming through the house.
In the fourth panel we see the same ghost hanging up a frame and thinking, "home decor is my passion".

OK. Just a reminder that they didn't get into bed with all these military drone/camera tracking/data silo companies for no reason at all. This is connecting the most basic of dots. Also Musk is back with the administration. Trump talks about drones a LOT.

The reason Dems have to investigate and prosecute - legally or administratively, as appropriate - where there is evidence of wrong doing is to prevent those found guilty from ever touching the levers of power again. I don't care if it's getting Al Capone on tax evasion. Get it all on the books.

This will be one of the most important immigration cases in a generation. The Trump admin claims that a 1996 law mandates the detention of millions of people without any right to a bond hearing; every person who entered illegally, no matter how long in the past. If they win, it's a nightmare.
