They’re trying to flex, to show they will not be ashamed of their crimes and utter lack of humanity. That’s why today. That’s why a school when kids are present. Bc they want you to believe they don’t know/care they are humongous criminal assholes, breaking more laws than they enforce.
After Minneapolis shooting, ICE Agents swarm Local High School as classes are dismissed. Masked agents appear to assault school staff who are defending students in lockdown. Reportedly, ICE broke windows on a car, deployed teargas, and made arrests.

It's been five years since the attack on the US Capitol. Last January Mike Romano watched four years of work bringing the rioters to justice wiped away with the stroke of a Sharpie. Find out more in this week's episode.

It's been 5 years since the attack on the Capitol threatened to end the American experiment.
Former DOJ prosecutor Mike Romano spent 4 years building cases against the rioters. Mike doesn't mince words. #Jan6 was #DomesticTerrorism. The pardons were the injustice.

Terrorism is the effort to coerce a civilian population or influence government policy by violent criminal acts. That’s exactly what the rioters were trying to do.

There is no sight that more efficiently puts the lie to immigration “court” than the common sight of children “representing themselves.” Children too small to climb into the chair, children in pajamas who don’t know where they are, children not yet old enough to speak.

A Florida-based company is charging military veterans as much as $20,000 for help with disability claims, even though the VA has said that may be illegal and the service should be free. But so far nobody's stopping the company and others like it.
This company charges disabled vets millions, even after VA said it's likely illegal
