Not the key part of this story, obviously... but they *sold* his phone? WTF?
This is 10th-grader Arnoldo Bazan.

A citizen.

Immigration agents grabbed him and put him in a chokehold.

"We're from the United States bro!' he screamed.

Agents took and sold his phone

And when he finally got home hours later, his shirt was ripped, he neck had angry, red welts, and he sobbed.

I want these fuckers prosecuted. I will not vote for a candidate who shies away from this.
A teenage boy was walking home in Minneapolis yesterday when four masked men jumped out of a van & questioned him - with no parent or guardian present.

He was bundled into the van & taken away.

Bystanders heard the boy say: “Can I just go home?”

I don’t know how America comes back from all this.

New YouGov. Reform’s decline started from its peak in October and continues steadily as the Tories mildly improve. Beatable.

Nostalgie is de ziekte van deze tijd en dat toont deze heimwee naar 2016.
Toen zaten we midden de terreurgolf, migratiecrisis, en kregen we Brexit en de 1ste verkiezing van Trump.
Maar blijkbaar was het internet volgens sommigen toen nog onschuldig zonder fake news en politieke polarisatie. 😬

Cook’s cowardice is especially egregious when you remember that, 11 years ago, he famously summoned Travis Kalanick to Cupertino to threaten removing Uber from the app store unless Kalanick stopped breaking Apple’s rules.

And it worked!

Maar interessanter is wie binnen UGent maanden wachtte om dit te lekken, vlak voordat De Sutter een eredoctoraat zou uitgereikt krijgen? Dit getuigt van zo'n venijnige leepheid dat ik er bijna bewondering voor krijg.

If a website appeared overnight that gave hundreds of millions of users the opportunity to create CSAM you'd expect governments to shut it down quickly, so the question is why X gets a pass when it's done just that?

The media (and everyone else) need to stop referring to ICE as "law enforcement".

They are out to perform "ethnic cleansing" and to terrorize the population.

There is nothing "lawful" about it.
