On the principle of “make sure to bring your raincoat to ensure it doesn’t rain,” I am dressing up and doing my makeup exquisitely while I continue waiting another ~2 hours to see if I’m called in for jury duty or not.
Hopefully this all ends in just a very upscale trip to the grocery store.

BTW when I say abolish ICE, I mean abolish it entirely and replace it with exactly nothing. Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free. That's it.

The constitutional remedy for a government that conspired in secret to systematically violate the Fourth Amendment is impeachment of all officials involved, removal, disqualification, and criminal prosecution.
At a time of unprecedented daily scandals, this this whistleblower complaint, and the memo it reveals for the first time, breaks through for me as beyond the pale.
It's the federal government conspiring in secret to subvert the Fourth Amendment.

If you are a Christian, Renee Good is a martyr for your faith. And if, like me, you are not Christian but are faithful to the secular religion of America, she's a martyr for your faith, too.
