I don't watch Survivor but is there a reason whatshisface is dressed up like Harry Dean Stanton in Alien?

a white man in a blue button down safari shirt and red/white trucker hat is talking to another, taller white man to his left, wearing a light blue button down shirt and head of gray hair. They are standing over a shirtless man laying on a gurney, an oxygen bag on his face.

Once it was reasonable to have hopes & dreams. Go to college, buy a car, operate a surprisingly well-trafficked saloon in the outerlands of Nepal, waiting for your father's assistant to walk through the door and heal years of emotional trauma & unspoken desire. The usual stuff. Not anymore though.

You can't raid and arrest everyone in an entire apartment building, or even legitimately get a warrant to do that, any more than you could for a whole neighborhood. That would be a general warrant. This is the most specific core the-British-did-it-to-us thing the Fourth Amendment is written to ban.

NEW — An estimated 40 people were taken by federal agents in an overnight raid in South Shore, a predominantly-Black neighborhood on Chicago’s South Side.

A couple who live nearby said they were shocked to see the enormous militarized raid in their community.
