WE HAVE QUESTIONS…
This is a kidnapping. No uniform, no badge, civilian car. Who are they?
ICE? Sanctioned bounty hunters? Either way, they’re grabbing people without warrants.
How often is this happening, and why aren’t more people talking about it? Congress?

Do you know what else was illegal and had severe life altering consequences? Hiding jews in your attic. Hiding escaped slaves. Sitting in a white only area. Not turning in your neighbours for being unhappy with the regime. People still did it.

So that's what Big Balls did with the terabytes of data he stole from the National Labor Relations Board a few weeks ago.
On Friday ICE agents stopped a bus in Albion, NY. They had a list of names, and took 14 people into custody
Those workers—and their employer—happened to be involved in one of the most crucial labor struggles in the state in recent memory

This isn't hypothetical.
The coming days are bringing higher prices and disrupted supply chains, this time not because of a pandemic or a war, but self-inflicted by our country's government under this president.

Gutting our military. this happens when the adults cede their place at the table to the sophomores.
People are trying to make sense of the recent cuts and I'm here to tell you stop trying. Cuts to JLTVs and new Humvees, so no focus on light units; Strykers are slated for cuts, so no focus on medium forces; M109, M1, AMPV and armor units are slated for cuts, so there isn't a focus on heavy forces.
