That definitely sounds like a systematic failure of, uh... The System.

Yah, totally. You didn't fail, the system failed *YOU*!

It’s always projection. Every prosecution is an admission.

Tweet from Angry Staffer: “Great. I’m looking forward to Ken Paxton’s indictment.”
Below is a news headline: “Report: Texas AG Ken Paxton claimed three homes as primary residence.”
A second tweet from FBI Director Kash Patel says, “There simply cannot be, and will not be, different rules for different people.”

I was on the ground today in Broadview with Senator Durbin to conduct Congressional oversight on ICE’s processing facility.  As elected officials, we have a duty to ensure transparency within federal facilities. What is ICE hiding? Kristi Noem, what are you hiding?

I got mine.

It absolutely kicked my ass, like it does every year (though no swollen lymph nodes this year, which was nice).

I did it not just to protect myself, but also to protect others around me.

Just like fences, good vaccines make good neighbors.

You know the boiling frogs thing is a myth, right? The frog jumps out before they are cooked.

And I'm not saying "do nothing". I'm saying be smart about it.

People in #Chicago are basically doing the whole "bell the cat" thing with #ICE, except instead of putting a bell on their collars to warn prey, they're following them around in their cars and honking.

From the illinois community on Reddit: Chicago residents are now following ICE vehicles, honking horns and shouting warnings to alert immigrants before raids begin.

I don't think it's a foregone conclusion.

If he could do it without having at least a pretext of probable cause, he would have done it already.

That's just it though: we aren't at Hitler yet.

We've got a bunch of Hitler wannabes that want us to make it easier for them to become Hitler.

And, again, there are ways to resist that don't play into their hands.
