ICE ended up returning the man, Saly, after realizing he’s a fucking US citizen with no criminal record, per his sister-in-law. These fucking animals.
It feels like it should be hard to sustain the outrage, but somehow these utter assholes just keep sustaining it.

I bet no American has thought the US should annex Greenland or invade Minnesota before the current drama but it sure has stopped us from talking about the Epstein files.

Not the sort of letter committed to paper by a well man. "Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace"

you know this guy is a FOR REAL photographer because he's telling the story of his brutal, unconditional arrest by federal goons and can't help but slip in a gear review
Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

I would say that there are so many worse things going...but considering those worst things may all just be in service of this naked grift...pretty sure it's all Trump cares about, anyway
Nothing to see here folks, just a sitting president investing in two companies whose merger he claims sole authority to approve or reject. Totally normal! 🙃

It's so bonkers that the administration decided to go after Minnesota of all places, one of the states with the strongest sense of state identity and pride, that all the rest of the US knows, and loves as a Midwest heartland state. "Real America", by even the narrowest, most conservative definition.

One basic lesson from political research is that secret police generally rely on mediocre men willing to do the dirty work of authoritarian regimes in order to advance their careers.

So he is admitting that when ICE guys are "infuriated" they murder people?
Since when is "infuriating" someone a capital offense?

Homan: "We gotta stop the hateful rhetoric. Saying this officer is a murderer is dangerous. It's just ridiculous. It's gonna infuriate people more which means there's gonna be more incidents like this."

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

In America you drop your kid off at school, get your brains blown out on the ride home, then the Vice President drops everything for a week to call you a terrorist, to slander your family, to protect the circumstances that led to your death so they can do it again. It is government by Alex Jones.

Is he seriously suggesting that law enforcement has the right to use lethal force on anyone who they see as impeding them? Isn't it supposed to be reserved for self defense?
Jennings: "I hate that this lady is dead but we have to ask hard questions about why people are putting themselves in this position..."
[Navarro says they're Americans protesting what they find objectionable]
Jennings: "Does that mean you can *impede* a law enforcement officer?"

FIVE YEARS & he has not been held accountable for one of the most disgraceful events in this nation's history.
Trying to overturn a fair election in an attempted coup against his own government is the very definition of TREASON. We can never move forward until this is fully adjudicated. #ShameOnUS🇺🇸

I love how Pam Bondi and the MAGA DOJ openly, shamelessly, and maliciously go after Trump's enemies, but Merrick Garland sat paralyzed for four years, terrified that prosecuting Trump for literally treasonable offenses would violate norms, precedent, and decorum. He must be so proud.
