The regime is trying to shut down every source of on-line warning as to where ICE is operating. Then ICE outs itself with profligate use of tear gas: if you smell it, you know to hide or get away. For the citizens going about their lives and affected by gas, this may help turn the tide.

Using multi-syllabic words with them will get you thrown onto the street and zip-tied.

I think they do the "thumb ups" because they're too uncoordinated to do the White Power sign.

The Pentagon wanted stenographers who would disseminate their press releases without analysis, not reporters. Sort of like the White House Press Corps has been.

Well, Robbie's singing is pretty awful, but when he sang to LA Sheriff's deputies, at least they were trying not to laugh, and didn't arrest him.

He doesn't just think he's the king of the USA, he thinks he's king of the world. By the way, as an LA-adjacent person who wanted to volunteer for the Olympics, my enthusiasm for doing so now is about zero. If that's shared by a lot of others in and around LA, who knows if they'll be prepared.

It's like she deliberately doesn't get what South Park was ridiculing.
