The discourse regarding the video of the recent ice execution in Minneapolis while also doing a rewatch of Next Generation has me realizing that there are trek "fans" who are very annoyed that Picard can't see the 5 lights the well-dressed aliens keep pointing out to him.

The Trump admin is scrambling because the secret police it sends out for kidnappings and rioting has been killing people on video then brazenly lying about it, but Schumer's instinct is to whip his caucus into taking a position *more conservative* than that held by the median voter.
He's got to go.

Majority of the country now wants to abolish and/or dismantle ICE and yet Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y. told the caucus the message had to be to “restrain, reform and restrict ICE.”
Once again it looks like Schumer is about to choke after getting a massive opportunity.
So pathetic and weak.

The majority of organizing happening in Minnesota isn’t just peaceful, it’s INVISIBLE. Moms showing up who won’t be interviewed on TV, people whose ICE patrols don’t turn into viral video. The grocery runs, the donations, the people filming bc they happen to be there. Please remember this.

Things are so bad that the Minnesota prison system has had to launch a website specifically to combat DHS lies. The first major release from DOC officials suggests Gregory Bovino outright lied about the target of the Border Patrol operation during which agents shot and killed Alex Pretti.

“or whatever” is the most chilling shit when talking about two paramilitary executions
Good question Congressman
Let's see. Would we rather live with our hard-working immigrant neighbors or masked thugs who are murdering our friends? Hard choice.

Moving game files from a Switch to Switch 2 can take awhile depending on how much data is on there for example.
