What happens when you do minimal screening before hiring agents, arming them, and sending them into the streets? We're all finding out.

Where is the business community and corporate leaders of Minnesota based companies in speaking up? Why aren't the big law firms sending lawyers to represent the people being attacked?

The Trump era in a nutshell:
Ordinary citizens are holding ICE accountable, while large law firms are doing nothing.
Small businesses are speaking out, while large corporations remain silent.
Independent media show moral urgency, while legacy media reports "both sides."

ICE just indiscriminately stopped a citizen at a bus stop in front of the co-op. If this is how they treat the President of the Minneapolis City Council who is legally observing, just think of what they’re doing to everyone else in our City.

So technocrat cryptobro former mayor Eric Adams just apparently (allegedly) rugpull defrauded his cryptocurrency memecoin investors, and genuinely the only surprising part is that he didn't do it while he was still in office.
Eric Adams, former NYC mayor, launched a memecoin (cryptocurrency) today. He marketed it as an “NYC Token” and used media appearances and his social media to promote it.
Within hours, Adams then drained its liquidity, apparently having scammed investors out of $3.4 million—a move called a rug pull.

I mean, sure, if there was a war and they snuck up on some soldiers by adopting the trappings of civil aviation, you might call it a war crime. But since there wasn’t one and they snuck up on some civilians who were probably fishermen and at worst drug dealers, it’s just fuckin murder.
Breaking NYT:
The Pentagon used a secret aircraft painted to look like a civilian plane in its first boat attack, according to officials briefed on the matter.
The laws of armed conflict forbid combatants from feigning civilian status.
That is a war crime called "perfidy."
