"Oriana Korol, 38, was playing “Ghostbusters” with her group — the Unpresidented Brass Band — ... when federal agents arrested her"
"Korol ... is being held on suspicion of assaulting a federal officer, the Clark County Sheriff’s Office told KGW."

“our law enforcement will continue to remove murderers, pedophiles, rapists, gang members, and terrorists out of our country"

So of course they went for the clarinet player, and not the felon in charge.

I have only very recently learned about these ladies and I need to look into them more because I’d like to replicate the way that my shoulders relaxed for the first time in months when she said “that’s such bullshit” right to this man’s face.

I just checked and this is real. It's on Border Patrol's official Instagram (I don't see it on Facebook) and is being celebrated by Nazis on Twitter, as you can see in the screenshot.

The clip is just 13 seconds long too, so it's a very intentional thing. We've got a Nazi government.

"Together, the messages reveal a culture where racist, antisemitic and violent rhetoric circulate freely — and where the Trump-era loosening of political norms has made such talk feel less taboo among those positioning themselves as the party’s next leaders."

Can't call them fascists?

I have long believed that we should be WAY more vocal about how police and ICE constantly murder dogs, and I think this is great messaging actually.

The reality is that you can mobilize a whole lot of usually tuned-out Americans around a “someone is being mean to hecking doggos” cause.

This is Chop. He was shot and killed by masked assailants in plain clothes who go by ICE. They showed up at his door "looking for migrants after receiving a tip." The son of the family asked if they could wait before entering the home while he put Chop away in the bathroom, as the dog can be aggressive with strangers.
According to the family, it is at this point that the son went to his pickup truck to retrieve his ID and a Border Patrol agent entered the home, opened the bathroom door, and shot Chop. None of the agents helped the family, who desperately tried to render aid to Chop, as he bled to death on the kitchen floor. Unsurprisingly, the agent who shot their dog then hid from them and refused to give his name. Even more unsurprising, they did not find any evidence of the migrants they were there to terrorize in the first place.
Do not open your door for these fucking losers. Rest easy Chop

The boring and obvious take that anti-woke positions have the effect (and in many cases the intent) of making it acceptable in polite circles to be a degenerate racist was and remains correct.
