ICE terrorizes immigrant communities > immigrants can't work > labor is impacted > farms and factories "lease" (enslave) prisoners for workers > ICE trying to build large prison camps > plan to imprison thousands...
Are they planning to enslave people?

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Apparently ICE tried to raid THE ECUADORIAN CONSULATE?!?!
These boneheads don't know that consulates are inviolable - meaning the host country authorities have no right to enter uninvited - per the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations of 1963.

I like it in concept but reminds me of LiveJournal or other early blog platforms that were useful for some but seemed like a limited audience.

I think Christmas classic tunes are best treated with the natural ambient reverb of the great hall at Union Station.
The delayed Metra train that has me now waiting hours for the next Amtrak is no fun though. 🎄🚆

Did Pam Bondi really ask Adam Schiff if he went to law school in a congressional oversight committee hearing?
**Checks notes** ... Yes, Pam. He graduated Harvard Law School cum laude in 1985.

These guys are claiming Kirk as a nazi.
I'm curious, from the right's perspective, is this unacceptable criticism, of the type that's getting liberals fired from their jobs, or is this honoring his legacy?

But poop jokes aside, the DoD should have nothing to do with deportations or attacking any American soil. This attack on Chicago is unlawful and, I think, treason.
