You don't tell stories about Frank. That's the trick. You tell stories about the people around Frank and the world that broke him.

$400,000: The "Free" Medical Care Kristi Noem's Goons Made Taxpayers Pay - emptywheel

After ICE badly broke the leg of a guy detained at a Carson City car wash back in August, he's been in the hospital with 24/7 private security guard. Which means taxpayers have already paid around $40...

This is a VERY well crafted lawsuit.
1) Plaintiff is natural born.
2) He was detained 2X in a fast-growing part of Alabama, not in a city that Brett Kavanaugh could be easily duped into believing was all migrants.
3) Unwarranted detentions were on private property.
4) He showed Real ID both times.

I’m grateful that my Nazi killing Grandfathers didn’t live long enough to see this epic display of pure loser shit from Hegseth and Trump today.

Hegseth keeps saying Warriors, and homie, stop with the stolen valor.

In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists when unprovoked — what would we call it?

If federal agents marched down streets demanding papers — what would we say?

Authoritarianism — let’s not pretend it’s something else when it happens in our American cities.
