“He allowed himself to be swayed by his conviction that human beings are not born once and for all on the day their mothers give birth to them, but that life obliges them over and over again to give birth to themselves.”

Gabriel García Márquez
No hyperbole, but this is just crazy.

There was a time when any officer who committed such an act would lead to an investigation of such behavior. Now, it's a cliche, cruelty is the point, those in power letting you know that your RIGHTS are not law but depend on how they feel about you.
It's wild to watch people like Joe Rogan come to grips that voting for the "mass deportations now" candidate meant voter for a literal war against your non-White neighbors. The entire discussion around the 2024 campaign was so fundamentally unserious it might as well have happened in a fever dream.
This is 10th-grader Arnoldo Bazan.

A citizen.

Immigration agents grabbed him and put him in a chokehold.

"We're from the United States bro!' he screamed.

Agents took and sold his phone

And when he finally got home hours later, his shirt was ripped, he neck had angry, red welts, and he sobbed.

It's not just his words. The agent reached out and violently grabs the phone from the woman.
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

Sure. But but it was way better for your career, and the esteem of many of your highly placed professional peers, to be wrong about this and so many people were. They’re doing great btw www.nytimes.com/2026/01/12/o...

The article starts a little slow in order to set up the rest, which is amazing. Bureaucracies are not perfect, very few organizations are, but our federal government had so much good.

Powerful statement by Jack Smith.
JACK SMITH: “We had proof beyond a reasonable doubt Trump engaged in a criminal scheme to overturn the results of the 2020 election, prevent the peaceful transfer of power, retained classified docs, obstructed justice… I’d charge an ex president again regardless of party.”

Bovino and his thugs, in their infantile expression of might makes right, once again do more damage to a human being then is warranted. In this case, it is another instance of abusing an American citizen.

And if Supreme Ass Lickers, aka SCOTUS, rules the tariffs are illegal, and they are, the refunds could be devastating. So, the Supreme Ass Lickers will probably give Trump another illegal victory. I mean, really, at this point, why don't they go the FIFA route and give the 🍊💩 a 👑.

The continual increase of spying on Americans has been boosted by Trump's vision that the greatest threat is "the enemy within". The spending increase in domestic spying has now added domestic thuggery by the government under the 🍊💩.

If that video makes Miller mad you know you have to watch it.

Senators along with Congresspersons made that video to inform servicemen that they do not have to follow the orders if they go against the constitution.

Trump will go down as one of the worst presidents. He will also be known as the greatest grifter ever. Here is but one example of 🍊💩's grifting. Keep in mind that all family members are in, together pulling in billions, and we aren't done with year 1!!!
