I’m pretty sure if the thinking is “I need to out-strategize the Devil” instead of ”try to love God and others,” it’s doing it wrong.

He believes the Armageddon will be ushered in by an antichrist-type figure who cultivates a fear of existential threats such as climate change, Al and nuclear war to amass inordinate power. The idea is this figure will convince people to do everything they can to avoid something like a third world war, including accepting a one-world order charged with protecting everyone from the apocalypse that implements a complete restriction of technological progress. In his mind, this is already happening. Thiel said that international financial bodies, which make it more difficult for people to shelter their wealth in tax havens, are one sign the antichrist may be amassing power and hastening Armageddon, saying: "It's become quite difficult to hide one's money."

Also: if you work for ICE, even if you’re not one of the ones arresting citizens or tackling 15-year-olds or zip-tying kids together and segregating them by race, you’re part of the mechanism making it happen, and you should suffer long-term social and post-regime-change consequences.

Some weirdo on Twitter has been absolutely melting down for like 36 straight hours because I posted:

When this is over, do not forget what ICE did, and what ICE is. And do not make room for them in society. Make sure they know that they are, and will continue to be, reviled and beneath contempt.

“I … met with the governor, met with the mayor, met with the chief of police, and the superintendent of the highway patrol. They’re all lying, and disingenuous, and dishonest people,” Noem said, because they wouldn’t back up her baseless claims that the streets were overrun with terrorists.

After spending 43 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit, evidence hidden by the prosecution reversed his conviction. Rather than finally enjoying freedom, ICE abducted him for deportation

There are only so many Halligans willing to prosecute people without evidence, so they are probably still working on finding a willing collaborator at DOJ.

Border Patrol Chief Greg Bovino said today that Brockman has “charges pending.” He also posted a photo of her in the ICE minivan after she was detained.

I asked how she wasn’t charged right away if she assaulted officers and what the charges will be but he hasn’t replied.

Streets outside the Immigration and Customs Enforcement processing facility in suburban Broadview were filled with song and prayer Saturday as a local church led a procession to the facility, aiming to give detainees communion but ultimately being denied.

Hundreds participate in procession to Broadview ICE facility, condemn detentions and deportations

Organizers say the event was held to provide solidarity and support to detainees at the facility, with participants walking more than a mile to Broadview.

To be very clear: the state police volunteered to relay the request to ICE, who wouldn’t come out to talk. ICE then rebuffed the request
