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.

another day
6 panel comic

P1: Cartoon me, sat at a table, drawing a comic on a sheet of paper. My character is thinking to himself "another day, another comic... Do I do this because I actually enjoy it? Or, do I do this because it is a means for me to avoid having to think about the late-stage capitalist hell we are all drowning in?

P2: a beat, as cartoon me lifts the page to see what he's drawn

P3: first person POV of the comic. It's titled "Freddy Fart Face."

P4: close up of cartoon me as he stares silently at the page, with an uncertain look on his face

P5: same POV, except now cartoon me has a big smile on his face

P6: POV pans back to reveal the room cartoon me is sat in, which is shrouded in darkness. Out the window, a city is but jng in the distance, while the door to the room is barred shit with a plank of wood wedged under the doorknob.

Cartoon me remains blissfully oblivious, as he stares smiling at his creation.

If Democrats think winning back congress this year and the presidency in 2028 is enough, they are sorely mistaken. We'll be right back where we're at in 2032 with an even more fascist and white supremacist Republican party. It's not enough to win power.

All that bad shit they say about Scorpios is a statistical error. Scorpios average doing zero bad shit stuff per year. Scorpios Brian, who lives in a cave & does over 10,000 bad shit stuff each day, is an outlier adn should not have been counted.
