It's beginning to look like all of those guns Americans buy to keep government in check were only ever bought for school shootings.

It’s genuinely bizarre that people who refuse to show their face or identify themselves are demanding identification from people who are fully visible.

ICE has kidnapped so many people from their cars that the city had to put out this statement. Let that sink in.
Vehicles that are abandoned due to an ICE detention and towed to the City's impound lot will be released to their owners or a representative at no cost.

Fancy being arrested for saying you oppose genocide.
The dystopian future is now.
‘more than 2,100 people had been arrested for showing support for Palestine Action…many for carrying placards saying: “I oppose genocide, I support Palestine Action”. More than half of the more than 500 people arrested at a protest in London in August last year were aged 60 or above.’

I suspect he won’t invoke this until closer to the elections.

I rate the chance of there being midterm elections at about 40%.

The chance of them being free and fair at about 10%.

1. "These women are insufficiently worried that federal agents may hurt them," is a revealing complaint.

2. Every woman I know is like a fucking deep space probe with senses ceaselessly attuned to detecting potential male violence.

3. Your lads stormed Congress confident no one would hurt them.

Yes we are aware of what Premier Malinauskas said about Randa Abdel-Fattah today and no we don't think it's ok for a public official to talk about a private citizen in such terms.

Dr Randa Abdel-Fattah has issued a defamation notice to South Australian Premier Peter Malinauskas over comments he made to the media comparing her to violent extremist terrorists. Several media outlets repeated those remarks without challenge and may also be exposed to defamation liability.
