This is the second account - the first being in Chicago - of DHS agents mass detaining people and then *sorting them by race*.
More than 400 people, including hundreds of citizens, were “sorted” at gun point into racial and ethnic groups by 200 ICE agents who fired flash-bang grenades into cars with people inside, pointed guns at children & demanded their zip tied parents not comfort them. apple.news/Ausdx6kWtT0e...

I also disagree. If by collapse she means a bunch of “powerful” men fall, so? Boo hoo.
The infrastructure that they haven’t managed to destroy remains for others not tainted by their own bad decisions to rebuild and…

Basically, the system is run by sexual predators and child murderers, and the women who provide, bury, and hide the bodies.
We hear you loud and clear, Pam.

Good morning. The President of the United States was in the middle of the most serious child sex trafficking ring of the last quarter century.
He is referenced not a dozen times in the case files. Not 100 times. Not 1,000 times. He’s referenced 38,000 times.

I’m not a conspiracy theorist. But when it comes to Jeffrey Epstein, there are a lot of things that remain objectively strange. A DOJ draft press release dated the day before his death, with the final version adding the phrase “of an apparent suicide.” 1/3

This is overt racism. Full stop. There’s no ‘misinterpretation’ and no excuse. This is who he is, who he’s always been, and why he should never be anywhere near power again. And there’s a reason the tapes from The Apprentice have never been released.

Amazing. If a professional wrestling crowd is chanting "fuck ICE," it suggests to me that large swaths of the culture are not just upset over ICE tactics, they're coalescing against mass deportations as a broader ideological project.
