Oh man… I just finished this book which covers the period between 1917 and 1921. It was the most oppressive period in US history and you don’t have to squint hard to see the parallels to today - right down concealing the impairment of an ailing President.

Today, after @propublica.org published this story, the camp was raided to confiscate letters from the children.

A reckless & dangerous ICE apprehension chase led to the death of another US citizen.

Linda Davis, a special education teacher, was killed because of #ICELawlessness.

Call Congress at 202-224-3121 & demand accountability!

It's okay if you've called before. Call every day until they call back.

The current person in charge of ICE's procurement for detention is a GEO Group executive who ran the company's immigration detention portfolio. He was granted an "ethics waiver" from DHS allowing him to hand out contracts to GEO in his new role.

When I was editor of US News, and Mort Zuckerman was the owner, we had our (numerous) struggles over editorial control.

Which resulted in my leaving to work at Microsoft, and having a great time there.

But Jesus, nothing like this. (Mort apparently fighting to change a story, to favor Epstein.)

Ossoff: "Among today's false prophets are the election deniers who indulge this president's obsession with overturning the 2020 election. Hear me when I say this -- they tell a lie so absurd, and therefore so debasing, that the act of telling it proves the teller's total and humiliating submission."

Vast majority of this wealth is an untaxed, unrealized capital gain. Some of these billionaires borrow against their immense wealth at low rates for living expenses to avoid paying tax. When they die, the capital gain is no longer taxable. The strategy is known as “buy, borrow, die.”

Democrats and people who support democrats and liberalism are going to have to regularly jump on the media’s backs. We can’t continue to let them go on like this without challenge.

ICE using the same ruse that Ted Bundy used to kidnap people should tell you something.
CCTV footage appears to show DHS agents posing as people having car trouble in order to lure a target out of his house before arresting them. The target comes out and starts helping them before 3 vehicles surround the scene. The car "experiencing" trouble then drives off with them.

Over the last 36 years, I swore an oath to the US Constitution for 5 different careers. I’ve never sworn allegiance to a person. Or a party. And certainly not to ignorant greedy crooks. My next constitutional oath will be as a lawyer. And then I’ll see these ignorant greedy crooks again. Bet on it
