You know what? I admit to being initially shocked that this seems to have happened, but the more I think about the more I feel what someone said elsewhere (will credit if asked but not outing them otherwise):
"Lots of people poop their pants, and almost all of them would make a better president."

It's hard to overstate how ell-organized the portland march that got gassed was... organizers made the crowd promise to be peaceful, said the march would slow in front of the ICE building but not stop, that we would stick to one chant (ICE Out). They did absolutely everything right and got gassed.

it’s not necessarily that all these people in the epstein files participated in the raping of girls it’s that none of them cared and if he hadn’t been arrested and died they’d still be out there trying to be his friend

This isn’t about convicting Don Lemon. It’s unlikely that will happen. It’s about intimidating journalists & making them censure themselves out of fear of consequences. It’s about eroding the free press because the administration can’t afford the criticism.
This just in: "Don Lemon was taken into custody by federal agents last night in Los Angeles, where he was covering the Grammy awards," Lemon's attorney Abbe Lowell says.

Trans people are NOT a danger to cis women and children. Trans people are significantly MORE at risk of sexual violence, not perpetration. This is about making trans people and gender nonconforming people less safe through authoritarian state-sanctioned harassment and lawfare.

You walk into this bar and show your ICE mugshot, you don't pay a dime.
Scrolling through the photos of Pam Bondi's "Minnesota rioters," it's just hero after hero. Every photo includes a cowardly DHS agent with their back to the camera.
Bondi thinks she's going to win the propaganda war with this shit, but it's never been more clear that they're losing.

There's no ICE accountability without ending qualified immunity.
They're murdering people. There won't be justice for the lives they've stolen, but there must be accountability.
My bill with @markey.senate.gov would ensure families can sue the agents murdering their loved ones.

All the anti-war and anti-occupation protestors were right. All the far leftists were right. All the “woke scolds” and your friend who’s “too woke” were right. They were somehow even more right than they may have realized at the time. But really, it was always obvious they were right.

It’s like Kavenaugh being at the brooks brother’s riot, it’s not just the same problems it’s the same damn people
The head of the Border Patrol in the 50s murdered a Mexican teenager when he was younger and went on to be the man who made over the NRA from a sportsmen’s lobbying group to an anti-gun control lobby, so much of this country’s evil is bound up in itself like the Marvel Cinematic Universe

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara: "People have had enough. This is the third shooting in less than 3 weeks. The MPD went the entire year last year recovering about 900 guns from the street, arresting hundreds of violent offenders, and we didn't shoot anyone ... this is not sustainable."

Filming ICE is an act of journalism. Cell phone footage is vital source material for reporters who can’t be everywhere at once.
Shooting, killing and other targeting of those documenting news is an attack on press freedom and all else that's good in the world.

Some details of federal government’s account of the shooting aren’t supported by footage captured by bystanders.
