Between this and pickle post, I don't even know you anymore, man.
1. Mayo is the single most disgusting concoction ever devised. It serves no purpose. Sorry your food is dry, make it better next time. Even a sandwich cut with a knife that had once had mayo on it is instantly ruined

I’ve seen a lot going around about these cells reserved for US citizens, and it’s worth reminding people that ICE officers (and immigration officers in general) do in fact have legal authority to arrest US citizens for any felonies or “offenses against the United States” witnessed by an officer.
Missed this a few days ago:
Two U.S. citizens grabbed by ICE say there were cells reserved for Americans.
Also, they weren’t given medical attention or allowed to go to the bathroom.

We don't comment on rumors. I will say only that for reasons of geography and logistics, to begin with, coming to Philadelphia would be a poor choice on the part of the government.

There are a number of efforts to preserve old footage and stories from the Chicago hardcore, emo and punk scenes of the 90s and early 2000s that are very exciting. One is The Fireside Tapes Youtube channel with early Midwest emo shows from the Fireside Bowl.

If you had a Mount Rushmore of false equivalencies, this statement would certainly be on it.
MIKE JOHNSON: From the people who mandated mask wearing for years, it's absurd. They need to back off ICE & respect our agents
Q: So you're ok w/agents not identifying themselves when they're arresting migrants?
J: Why, so they can target them? So they can put names and faces online and dox them?

It's okay to say that the point "you" wanted to make wasn't clear and that you need to revise it. Claiming that people reading what you wrote and responding to it is somehow "acting in bad faith" is lame though. It's not my responsibility to read into your posts like I'm writing a book report.
