I know it's not mainstream conventional wisdom but I think "Abolish ICE" is a perfectly reasonable response to this and you can get the public to buy in. Most people don't want masked murderous thugs roving their streets
MPR playing an eye witness account right now of ICE shooting directly through the windshield at her face and not giving her medical care for 10 minutes.

So much of American history is just impulsive and extremely stupid elites, who don't believe in consequences because they have never personally experienced them, doing highly consequential stuff because they're bored or believe it might make them richer. I guess a lot of our culture, too.

babe wake up, they're doing insider trading on war crimes
“What appears to be a newly created account appeared to invest $30,000 Friday in Maduro's exit. After Maduro went into custody Saturday morning, that same investor netted $436,759.61.”
Someone made $400K by predicting Maduro's capture. Here's what happened
The winnings come as the rules governing prediction markets are still evolving.

We can’t pay for USAid, science research, daycare, school lunches, or healthcare, but there’s no problem launching an illegal war that will cost taxpayers billions of dollars and enrich all the grifters, goons, and ghouls in this administration.

People are going to try and lure you into debates about whether Maduro was a good guy or not and the thing is, it doesn’t matter for the purposes of discussing whether violent kidnappings and extrajudicial murders by the US government are ok. No, they aren’t! End of convo.

"Maduro is a brutal authoritarian dictator," I wisely intone, as the corrupt demented paedophile US President violating Constitutional Law while operating a gestapo and concentration camps illegally arrests a foreign leader on charges which read like they were written on a paper placemat in crayon.

been largely positive on Paul George this year, but with him going 0-4 on twos and 4-7 on threes yesterday, he is now shooting:
40% from 2
41.6% from 3
Any physicality (especially OKC's) completely stymies him. With his burst gone, current PG needs the Covington shot diet, not Rudy Gay's.

Sixers are:
- giving up layups at the rim because Embiid’s not getting back
- giving up wide open 3s because their defense is based on a core belief that other teams don’t know they’re allowed to pass
- giving up layups at the rim because Embiid’s not getting back

abolish ice. theres no middle road on this and democrats will have to be held to it.
ICE detain father shopping on Christmas Eve—then steal his family's groceries.
Then 3 agents divvy up his paid for food—taking what they want for themselves.
"Can I just get the wife's number to call and let her know?" woman asks.
"No, guess he should've complied," agent says.

New: As Dominick Barlow and Jabari Walker continue to excel on two-way contracts, I wrote about their likely conversions to standard contracts.
There’s no code to crack here. But consider this an FAQ with a pretty good sense of when conversions may begin:
