“I play every day with pain in my heart. Right now, thousands of people are without electricity and warm water. It’s -20 degrees Celsius. I was deeply moved and happy to see so many Ukrainian flags here this week.”

I think it’s important to point out: ICE does NOT have the same authority as a police officer. They do NOT have the power to enforce laws, only to engage in their specific tasks.
IE: they don’t do traffic, etc. impeding traffic is not a penalty ICE can enforce against

Not. Great. Bob.
Agents like this should be identified and their name and picture posted on a searchable web site with videos and content like this linked to their names
A woman recording an ICE agent tells him "Shame on you."
The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?"
"Learned what?" she asks
Then he knocks her phone out of her hand

Trump shared confidential jobs data early. That’s another no-no, as it can move overseas markets before US exchanges open.
Not that anyone in the WH cares.

Trump’s people (if not the man himself) are starting to find out it’s not easy controlling a continent of 330 million temperamentally ungovernable types. FAFO, indeed.
More people are going to be murdered by ICE. It’s clear. The tactics ensure it, ICE is getting more furious and being disagreed with or resisted in any way, the verminous administration supports them and has shown they will tell any lie to support ICE murdering people.

Hi. Last night I ended a 17-year relationship with Meta. It won’t be the same over here, but I hope it will be better. Cheers.

Busted out laughing at “that’s a lot of numbers you remembered, good job”
I think it is probably a bad idea to put clearly unhinged, angry psychopaths in federal law enforcement positions.

According to my sources, the FBI was initially open to a concurrent investigation with the MN Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (the state agency that would do this investigation).
Trumpy U.S. Attorney Daniel Rosen heard about this and intervened, barring the FBI from cooperating with local police.

It’s genuinely wild that the United States spent decades building an elaborate rules-based international order which de facto cemented its permanent status as the dominant global hegemon, sustained by ideology rather than might, and now is just blowing it all up for literally no reason

You know, if Trump actually believed what he says about how his opponents are the most corrupt bunch this country had ever seen, his minions at the Justice Department might not be downsizing the units assigned to corruption and misconduct by public officials.

The people who voted for Trump because they thought he’d pull the U.S. back from foreign entanglements and overseas adventurism are really among the prime suckers of our era.
