The fact that both are quite experienced—8 years and 12 years with CBP—is yet more evidence that CBP should be abolished and all of its agents fired. There's no way to "reform" or "retrain" that, it's just a violent gang with badges.

"You cannot pick and choose, because among the very rich is a higher percentage of unpleasant...people." Seems like a functional society should be eliminating the "very rich!"
As more academic names keep coming up in the Epstein files, I keep thinking about this NYT interview with the Bard president from a few years ago, and wondering how many people were rationalizing in similar ways.

The newest video shows very clearly that they attacked him for coming to an aid of a woman that the agents pushed, and then executed him while he was immobilized. Everything the government has said, like with Good, has been a complete lie.

Memory is a fragile thing in this moment, so it is important to keep in mind that Hakeem Jeffries refused to whip his caucus against ICE funding earlier this week.

i’m a little confused about how “abolish ICE” requires too much explaining to be good politics, but a set of opaque incremental reforms does not.

So he wrote a letter strongly implying that he planned to kill himself soon and still managed to do it under the guards' noses? 🤨
DOJ briefly uploaded this letter from Jeff Epstein to serial child molester Larry Nassar:
"Our president shares our love of young, nubile girls. When a young beauty walked by he loved to 'grab snatch,' whereas we ended up snatching grub in the mess halls of the system."

Bubble Bobble and Puzzle Bobble are different games both starring Bub and Bob. Bust-A-Move is the western name for Puzzle Bobble, but is not to be confused with Bust-A-Groove, which is the western name for Bust-A-Move: Dance & Rhythm Action, which was changed in the west for legal reason.

i think this gets covered in “poverty for profit” by anne kim about the cyclical nature of walmart and snap benefits and how much money they make off poor people if anyone wants to get more mad about it lol
They pay less taxes for employing people with SNAP.
They pay those people so little they have to stay on SNAP.
And then because they've destroyed local grocery stores, they are the biggest beneficiaries of SNAP dollars.
Nice racket, IMHO.
