What do you have to believe about people to see this kind of cruelty as justified?
ICE detain yet another minor child—chase him down his own street and tackle him to pavement.
"I am legal! I am legal!" he cries over and over in Spanish.
Agent pins the boy down in snow—he desperately tries to keep his exposed hands from freezing at -25°F wind chill temperature.

As TX heads into what may be the biggest ice storm of the year, let’s get one thing straight before the disinfo starts.
Solar and wind energy operate reliably in far colder places.
The real issue is simple: large parts of the grid are not appropriately winterized. When storms come, they fail.

This is horrifying: Note that when ICE goons arrested SEIU CA President David Huerta in June, one sprayed pepper spray on his hand and rubbed it in Huerta's face after he was already knocked forcibly on the ground.

If Dems don’t impeach Noem they really are pathetic
🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional!
ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

‘House burping’ is a cold reality in Germany. Americans are warming to it.
The often mandated German practice of airing out homes no matter the season has strained and even ended relationships, but it’s gotten a boost on U.S. social media.

Unfortunately, the trial is back on after minor changes to the study protocol. Based on SUFS internal review of the updated protocol with public health experts, the chief ethical concerns (i.e., babies not receiving a known preventative intervention in a high risk environment) are still present.
