Was a time when this would sound paranoid, but no more. With the Trump administration checking phones at the border for anti-Trump content, how safe is it to have Trump supplicant Jeff Bezos' Alexa in your home with its ability to listen to your conversations?

Credit where it is due, @colorado.gov has issued the following statement.

What I would like to see next, as a citizen, is for the Governor to direct state police to actively intervene and prevent ICE attempts to detain Colorado residents without a warrant or judicial process.

Action > Sentiment

I am deeply concerned about the circumstances of the detainment and movement of Fernando Jaramillo Solano and two minor children. ICE did not inform us about this operation, and has not since. The federal government’s lack of transparency about its immigration actions in Durango and in the free state of Colorado remains extremely maddening. The federal government should prioritize apprehending and prosecuting dangerous criminals, no matter where they come from, and keep our communities safe instead of snatching up children and breaking up families. We have not been informed that any of those detained are suspected of any crime. Further, the federal government should promptly consider any asylum claims.

Donald Trump and Peter Hegseth have now murdered 57 human beings on their boats in the Caribbean and the Pacific.

That means they've passed Seattle's "Green River Killer" (49) to become the most lethal serial killers in American history

Q: What did you mean when you said you're prepared to send 'more than the National Guard' into American cities?

TRUMP: if I want to enact a certain act, I'd be allowed to do whatever I want. The courts wouldn't get involved. Nobody would. I could send Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines -anybody I want

D.C. and its residents deserve freedom — and democracy, Robert Barton writes.
