An organization cannot conduct a fair and objective investigation when its head has announced the outcome of the investigation in advance—because the organization is structurally committed to confirming the preannounced outcome. The technical term for this kind of investigation is a farce.

Read this story and decide if this is the America you want to live in.

ICE saw a Latino man driving a car. Chased him down and rammed him. Just because he wasn’t white.

He was just a guy - an American citizen - driving to the auto shop.

Tina Davis, who modeled for Ford in the mid-1990s, said in an interview that her Ford booker instructed her to get dressed up and attend a Mar-a-Lago party in late 1994. Just 14 and new to Miami, she was told to “dress sexy,” according to her mother, Sandra Coleman, who had accompanied her to Florida. Eight or nine other models came along on the bus. “All the girls were really young,” Ms. Coleman recalled in an interview. “Some of them could have been in training bras.” When they arrived at Mar-a-Lago, Ms. Coleman said, her daughter was promptly handed a glass of champagne. She took it away, but waiters kept offering more. Each time one of the middle-aged men at the party approached her daughter, Ms. Coleman would walk over and introduce herself as Ms. Davis’s mother. During a trip to the bathroom, they ran into Mr. Trump’s new wife, whom they had met earlier. Ms. Maples clasped her hands, Ms. Coleman recalled, and looked her in the eye. “Whatever you do, do not let her around any of these men, and especially my husband,” she told Ms. Coleman. “Protect her.”

It is incredibly simple to acknowledge that violence in any form is awful and erodes society.

More than five million Americans in over 2,100 towns and cities joined us today to say we don't do kings in this country. Thank you for making it clear that we won't be ruled by fear.

Plainclothes agents. Trying to question elementary-aged kids. And lying that they had parents permission to do so.

I keep coming back to the insanity of this statement from an ICE official, which would sound like something out of 1984 except lacks Orwell's sense of irony and self-awareness www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...
So far, the Trump administration has provided only weak evidence that any of the men condemned to a foreign prison notorious for human-rights violations was guilty of anything. The administration’s defense of its actions, according to the declaration made by an ICE official, Robert Cerna, is that “the lack of specific information about each individual actually highlights the risk they pose. It demonstrates that they are terrorists with regard to whom we lack a complete profile.” In other words, the lack of evidence against these men is just further proof that they’re guilty.
