I like contact sports (who wants to play roller derby with me?), geeky pursuits, supporting my family and friends, and I desperately want the world to be a better place. Let's work on it together!

The party of law and order literally just wrote themselves a memo that says they don't have to follow the 4th Amendment.
That's right, ICE intends to perform illegal search and seizures without a warrant.
Add that to the list with "we had to beat up the police on Jan 6 to defend our democracy".
