There is a religious uprising in this country that the press corps will not recognize as such.
McIVER: Do you consider yourself a religious man?
LYONS: Yes mam
McIVER: How do you think judgment day will work for you with so much blood on your hands?
LYONS: I'm not going to entertain that question
McIVER: Do you think you're going to hell, Mr Lyons?

The US extracted the wealth from Puerto Rico through sugar/tobacco plantations for decades while paying farm laborers almost nothing. The Jones act has taxed Puerto Ricans to prop up a US shipping cartel for a century. The only parasites are the wealthy Americans extracting wealth from the island.

Goldman to Lyons: "You said in your opening statement that references to ICE as 'the Gestapo' or 'secret police' encourages threats against ICE agents. The problem is you have it backwards. People are simply making valid observations about your tactics, which are un-American and outright fascist."

Rep. Delia Ramirez to DHS officials: "I have as much respect for you as I do for the last white men who put on masks to terrorize communities of color. I have no respect for the inheritors of the Klanhood and the slave patrol. Those activities were criminal and so are yours."

Rep Bennie Thompson (D-MS) at border security hearing:
"News reports show a Border Patrol agent was found passed out, drunk & covered in vomit in a vehicle & ICE personnel apparently stole a child’s phone and sold it for cash. It’s an embarrassment and DHS’s so-called leadership should be ashamed"

Here's what DHS doesn't want you to know: Working for ICE is one of the safest jobs in America — and last year was the second-safest year for the agency on record.

ICE's Masks Are All a Lie
Working for ICE is actually less dangerous than being an elementary school student in America.

Immigration is not zero sum. You know who knows this best? The descendants of immigrants. They wouldn't be here if there wasn't enough America to go around. So why does this descendant of immigrants suggest immigrants are somehow taking something from citizens? Because he's hiding the real goal.

Tony Gonzales suggested Sunday that a 5 year old child of immigrants is somehow taking something from a 5 year year old children of American citizens and what I want to know is what is wrong with his constituents? His district is 63% Hispanic and I guess they decided to believe them lies.

This is a GWB-appointed judge, and a federal prosecutor, pleading with the American people to understand the power and the beauty of the due process clause, and why it's the bedrock of our constitutional rights.
BONUS RULING: Judge Thomas Johnston, a George W. Bush appoiintee in West Virginia, used a recent ruling to warn of the dangers of defying due process for immigrants because of what it could also mean for Americans. It's worth a read.

1. Trump Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick has been caught brazenly lying about his relationship with Epstein.
In October, Lutnick claimed his relationship with Epstein was "absolutely done" after a single meeting in 2005.
That is absolutely false.

"If America’s university presidents believe that their foremost responsibility is simply to keep their institutions operational ... they are mistaken. Much as lawyers are guardians of the rule of law, presidents and chancellors are stewards of intellectual freedom and democratic norms"

Important from Arne Duncan and David Pressman:
"There is little effort among university leaders to coordinate a political response to attacks on academic independence by the administration. Appeasement is being coordinated while resistance is not."

No, Not the 25th Amendment.
It wouldn't work. The Constitutional remedy that works is impeachment and removal.

I don't have skin in the Texas game but for my part, this woman speaks plainly and truthfully. Everything she says makes sense to me. If you listen to this, you will nod along, ESPECIALLY when she says the problem isn't so much the criminals (primarily Trump) but those *who protect criminals*.
They have tried everything they can think of to distract us and prevent the truth from coming out — posting racist memes and even shutting down the House. But we will not stop until all involved are held accountable and the survivors get justice.
