We’re back! And a lot has happened since we’ve been away. This week’s main story concerns unrest in Minnesota, murders committed by ICE and CBP agents, and the massive entity overseeing it all: the Department of Homeland Security. Plus, some stuff about Business Shrek – sorry, “Tom Homan.”

I think we are going to have a Democratic-controlled Senate.
And all we will need for the leadership of that Democratic Senate to do is hold actual, real, impeachment trials.
As the Constitution requires.
Not the bullshit fake trials like the ones that the Senate held in 2020 and 2021...

The New York Times reports that the Department of Homeland Security has sent Google, Meta, and other media corporations subpoenas for the names on accounts that criticize ICE enforcement. The department wants to identify Americans who oppose what it’s doing. I’ll save them time.

Dung moss, Tetraplodon mnoides. As the common name suggests, it often grows on animal dung, but can also grow on bones, antlers and other substrates. Always an eye catcher for its striking colours.
