I think a lot of Americans have (understandably) assumed that this kind of brutal randomized street-level "papers please" enforcement has been how ICE has always done business.
It very much was not, until the past year.

Can confirm I have personally seen three attempts just today of agents in a convoy of ICE vehicles trying to snatch random POCs along Central Ave - and then being chased off by neighbors with whistles. It's blatant racial profiling.

“A difference in politics” is Keynesian vs Classical economics or interventionist vs isolationist foreign policy.
It is not whether it’s okay for the government murder people they disagree with.

I've noticed that as more and more clear evidence comes out, on practically every event in the magasphere, it becomes increasingly difficult for them to justify being on their side of the issue. (i.e Good, shooting, Venezuela, Epstein, etc.) So, they have to just ignore reality to stay on that side.
A woman recording an ICE agent tells him "Shame on you."
The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?"
"Learned what?" she asks
Then he knocks her phone out of her hand

ICE releasing footage of them calling Renee Good a “fucking bitch” directly after shooting her in the face while she was trying to de-escalate doesn’t make them look like psychopathic murderers at all.

Why are we listening to Quentin Tarantino anyway? I admit he's made some films I liked, but I guess I also admit I'm a little embarrassed that I liked them.
Tarantino shut the fuck up challenge: impossible.
Quentin Tarantino says 'There Will Be Blood' had a chance to be his greatest film of the 21st century if it didnt have Paul Dano in it
"it’s supposed to be a two-hander, but ... [Dano] is weak sauce, man ... He’s just such a weak, weak, uninteresting guy. The weakest fucking actor in SAG [laughs]"

I think the main lesson to take away from the extrajudicial murder of people in boats on the Caribbean Sea is that laws don't apply to you if you are strong enough or rich enough and to have the world sit back and acquiesce to this is abhorrent.

Another weird football thought; taunting is a penalty? I once watched a guy get hit, die on the field and be revived... but taunting is against the rules?

BlueSky is mostly like-minded people posting things I mostly appreciate but, somehow, of all the social media spaces, this one makes me feel the worst.
I don't really understand the phenomenon. I can really only scroll for a few minutes before I become aware of how bad it feels.
