I was a prosecutor. I negotiated pleas. I believed my ability to threaten economic harm was key to my power. Never stopping to ask why I had that power.

Why don't these folks just go do enforcement in places that don't have "sanctuary cities"? Places like Texas, Florida, and Nevada; for example. You know, where the highest volume & number of immigrants are?

When I worked for Reason magazine during Trump's rise to power in 2016, I was explicitly forbidden by the editor in chief from writing about Trump's racism, or the violence and racism at his rallies.
It was a "sideshow," I was told.

Officers should be court-martialed, demoted, dishonorably discharged, and probably jailed. It's a betrayal of the 1st Amendment and creates an obvious "chilling effect" on what are essentially trapped subordinates.

Something I think a lot of people aren't clear on, Liam's parents have followed the legal process of claiming asylum. They are here LEGALLY.
Liam was being used to try to lure someone ELSE out of the house. He and his father were taken because that failed.
Now ... they seek revenge.

This cannot be something a civilian law enforcement agent is allowed to wear in the US — and an agency that has a culture that tolerates this cannot be saved.

Oh. Maybe they shouldn't act like the secret police not beholden to the Constitution. And they should stop abducting*other* children to send to camps. Then the people wouldn't hate them and any (likely imagined for political purposes) blowback from their actions would be mitigated.

Next time someone asks you about energy and land use, maybe remind them that the ~35 million acres that currently grow corn for ethanol in the US could produce ~15 PWh per year of electricity from solar photovoltaics. That's ~3.5 times more than *total annual generation from all US power plants*.
