"Hispanic Americans killing a white person trying to prevent them from harassing or deporting other Hispanic people, on the orders of Stephen Miller—a Jewish American whose ancestors fled pogroms in Eastern Europe—is a uniquely grotesque expression of the American melting pot in action." theatlantic
The Real Reason ICE Agents Wear Masks
Face coverings may work less to protect federal agents from danger than to make it easier for them to do unconstitutional things.

So an odd thing here is that if you say "an unidentified man dressed in a Batman costume" your point is to communicate "it is not really Batman" but the problem is that the real Batman, within the fiction of the comic book "Batman", is also, literally, an unidentified man dressed in a Batman costume
An unidentified man dressed in a Batman costume angrily confronted Santa Clara city officials during a joint meeting of the City Council, city authorities, and the Santa Clara Stadium Authority on Monday, using his public comment to condemn the city’s stance on cooperation with ICE.

Okay troublemakers, punks, antifa supervillains, and anyone who just enjoys being a petty little shitbird while they fuck up the algorithm of a massive media corp. Here's your assignment for the weekend. Get on it and spread the word.

Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.

Referring to his keynote address at the World Economic Forum, Trump told the audience that sometimes “you need a dictator.” To be clear, this is the President of the United Staes telling the world (including us) that we need a dictator, and HE is that dictator.

One analyst predicted that silver will reach $300, citing what they describe as a fundamental disconnect between paper trading and physical supply. According to this view, banks are holding roughly $4.4 billion in short positions, even as industrial demand already consumes the bulk of annual output.
