Welp. I've decided to talk about ICE in the conclusion of my book (about the immigration of SS members to the US) in the context of 'what happens when state-backed thugs enact terror on vulnerable populations and then the problem isn't addressed afterwards and they dissolve into American society'

It's like they get off on losing.
Recent statements from political strategists and Democratic Party insiders seem to suggest that the party’s strategy for the 2026 midterm races — particularly in hotly contested swing districts — will be to focus on economic concerns rather than on holding President Donald Trump accountable.
Polls Undercut Dem Strategy to Avoid Discussing Trump Impeachment in Midterms
Democratic strategists are telling swing district candidates to focus on the economy and to avoid discussing Trump.

They are ICE agents. ICE is and has always been a terrorist organization. Don't make the catastrophic mistake of thinking that extrajudicial killings were invented by the Trump administration.
Let this event and the stark horror of these days open your eyes to what this country has always been.

we did it! a perfectly structured democracy. it's got checks, it's got balances. this thing is made to last. there's only one weakness: bad guys. if somehow some bad guys who don't care about decorum got elected they could basically just tip the whole thing over. luckily such men are unelectable

it's been a few weeks and I still have no takers. where is the software that does this? The manifesto says "can now", i.e. it exists. Ask these people where the software that does this is on 4 January 2026.
unfortunately, this paragraph of the manifesto is not correct in any way whatsoever.
no existing thing sold as "AI" does this at all. the marketers lie that it does, and then it doesn't.
anyone signing this manifesto, ask them for the software that does this.

See how our friend Will focuses on tampons because he is both totally grossed out and also has no idea about the politics of period products.
While protesting abortion bans in Texas, tampons were confiscated at security because they were afraid we would throw cotton balls at politicians.

more lucrative than accusing Liz Warren of nearly fucking a marine to death, I suppose
GOP operatives Jacob Wohl and Jack Burkman, convicted election fraudsters, were paid $960,000 in the second quarter to secure a pardon for a former nursing-home operator who defrauded the government of $38 million. Trump pardoned the man, Joseph Schwartz, last month.
