The Minneapolis ICE crusade is more of a government-run smash-and-grab operation than an orderly, tightly run enforcement process. This is just the latest evidence:
Target of Viral Botched ICE Raid Was Already in Prison
When ICE agents dragged out ChongLy Thao half-naked in the snow, they were looking for a man named Lue Moua. They should have known exactly where to find him.

ICE agent asked why he's taking pictures of a legal observer's car, replies: "Cuz we have a nice little database and now you're considered a domestic terrorist. So have fun with that."

My answer: Classic Reuben, pluses up with some brown deli mustard on the bread opposite the Russian dressing.
What’s yours?

Really not appreciating all the AI slop "movie posters" that seem to have found their way into my feed. Saw one today for Kingdom of Heaven that made Orlando Bloom unrecognizable.

Asking for a friend. Does one have to refresh their memory by watching the first season of The Night Manager to better appreciate the new season? #TVSky

Whatever is in the Epstein Files is so explosive that the leaders of the Department of Justice are openly breaking the law every day to keep us from seeing it. (Just a reminder amongst all the other stuff flying around.)

Despicable, but this is Trump's America.
This video filmed by Ben Luhmann shows the moment a federal agent sprayed chemical irritants directly into a man's face in south Minneapolis.
Three agents already had the man pinned to the ground when a fourth agent walked up and sprayed the irritants.

So Trump apparently brought the crowd in Davos a tasty lunch. Surprisingly, it wasn’t McDonald’s, but instead, a whole lot of TACO. 🌮

Isn’t the cruelty in the open on the streets enough for these thugs? They have to rub wormy, moldy salt in the wounds as well?
“Children’s food contaminated with worms and mold, limited clean drinking water, inadequate medical care among allegations raised by migrant families in court filings about conditions their CHILDREN faced in federal custody.”
