That's why they put the wifi password on post-it notes in offices

Even the guy who invented that rule in the first place said it was a dumb idea

The most secure passwords are very long, not a quote or line from a book and easily remembered

ICE agents don't care about laws and the constitution

They operate outside of the law

They are outlaws, MAGA'a private thugs, like the SA or the SS

The War Monitor @warmonitor.net · 1d

CBS reports ICE agents have repeatedly made fake 911 calls. Each time, police found no threat. In Illinois, that’s a felony.

It's the old, immigrants are stealing your jobs and opportunities
