There's a bigger play going on here. Slumlords coordinating with ICE to roust tenants, steal or destroy their stuff, damage the building so its uninhabitable. All to trigger legal expedited evictions, make insurance claims, and then sell to developers.

I’m the Canadian who was detained by Ice for two weeks. It felt like I had been kidnapped
I was stuck in a freezing cell without explanation despite eventually having lawyers and media attention. Yet, compared with others, I was lucky

I gave a campus talk last night on Trump's first 100 days for the WUD Society & Politics group. A student asked me if I thought that, at some point, we might start to describe the US as a competitive authoritarian regime. I said that we were already there, it's just that most folks haven't noticed:

He couldn’t even run a charity without breaking the law—Now he believes he’s in charge of the Supreme Court, Congress, our rights, and the U.S. justice system. Who’s going to stop him?!

See story below. Drug A is a type of drug known as a "histone deactylase inhibitor", or HDACi. In simple terms, HDACi interfere with how cells divide and multiply, making them useful agents for the treatment of cancer and modulating the immune system 1/5

All these stories about ICE remind me of the Vel d'Hiv Roundup, which took place in 1942 in Paris. With 30 hours, more than 13 000 Jews were locked up in a stadium before being deported to the Auschwitz concentration camp. REMEMBER !!!

This is how our government has been corrupted:
1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office.
2) Elected officials rewrite the rules in the donors' favor.
3) Donors make a huge profit.
4) Repeat.
For the sake of democracy, we must get Big Money out of politics.

There's something grimly ironic about Trump, whose criminal guilt was quite clear based on public information, managing to land in the White House rather than a prison cell thanks to dragging out Due Process, now handwaving process away and assuming the right to brand criminals by fiat.

Trump on Greenland: "Denmark is very far away. A boat landed there 200 years ago or something and they say they have rights to it. I don't know if that's true. I don't think it is, actually ... we really need it for national security ... maybe you'll see more and more soldiers go there."

This is grotesque.
I guess the president of the United States is advertising Tesla at the White House today to help his top adviser Elon Musk, the richest man in the world, boost his stock price? What???
Again, you could be on 1960s acid and not see anything like this.
BTW: Remember, Trump has slagged EVs for YEARS
