The newsletter had an essay earlier in the month I feel is worth sharing again, in part because I think it's important to ask how the US's militarized and tyrannical police ever got called brave in the first place.

"You raise your voice, I erase your voice."

ICE in Minneapolis are erasing your rights.
Please share our new video of what's happening in our city. youtu.be/W1dyNcRGRXY

They're calling it the Through the Looking Glass readings of the constitution. We've got eight guys from Georgetown and and a dozen op-ed writers ready to tell you it's exactly what the founding fathers envisioned. It's already very popular with lawyers that dress like Benjamin Franklin.
Trump: "With that being said, you can't have guns. You can't walk in with guns. You just can't. You can't walk in with guns. You can't do that. But it's just a very unfortunate incident."

Experienced investors will know that the purchase and installation are when the venture is most likely to fail. Actual operation costs can be offset by renting it out or opening it to public display, which also makes you eligible for cost related tax deductions as a business.
SCENE: a sunny back yard bbq. a MAN is grilling, 2.33 KIDS are playing on the green grass, a DOG is gamboling after them. the MAN accepts a pile of BURGERS from his WIFE, turns to the camera

MAN: we're using our home equity to consolidate debt and finance the purchase of an orbital gauss cannon

Conspiracy theory as policy is sadly not at all new. The Mexican Cartel-Taliban alliance never emerged post-9/11. That's a thing that needs to be understood. Alex Jones and Dubya may not have liked each other, but the difference in their world view was more disagreement of degrees, not fundamentals.

I actually prefer to think of all my enemies as an unhappy Sisyphus and myself as someone who gets to push the boulder down. Get rolled on, loser.

This is why it's important to remember the accusations against INS from back then. Retreating back to conditions from which ICE and CBP arose gives them a place to retreat so they can try and do it all again when conditions seem favorable again.
we are witnessing historic backpedaling here

To clarify, they received no physical documents. They were given a QR code to access the results/images, and the code led to a document containing a broken link rather than any of that information.
I can't share too much, but we've been working on a project about healthcare that included someone's results from a CT scan that was a single page with a broken link that had to be accessed through a QR code. Incredible developments in healthcare administration are happening.

NEW: A Texas county medical examiner found that Geraldo Lunas Campos was choked to death by a guard while he was held in ICE custody earlier this month.

Geraldo is the sixth person to die in ICE detention this year.

Immigration is a fake problem. We have politicians on the one hand who want to use immigrants as scapegoats for our real ones and politicians on the other who are too cowardly to stand against them and tell the truth. That is the entire situation. Until that changes, people will continue to die.

They're hard to confirm the exact details of, but when I was very little stories of INS being used by employers to deport undocumented workers after promising the majority of payment after services were rendered abounded.
I found this bit, by a journalist who has written about CBP and ICE for many years, to be really instructive on how shockingly and persistently lawless those agencies, and especially CBP, have been for their entire existence, for more or less the same reason. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/ice-101-ho...
"ICE 101" — How Trump changed ICE and CBP into a fascist secret police
ICE and CBP are fatally flawed products of the post-9/11 War on Terror — now Trump has weaponized those very flaws to occupy America.

We're going to have an elaborated explanation of this in the nearish future, but a point should be made now: A lot of people are going to tell you that if you don't fell traumatized by terrible times you're improperly processing the events. This is not established fact, it is unhelpful conjecture.
