Tear gas is banned in international warfare, yet classified as a “riot control agent” that law enforcement can use for crowd control.
“It just doesn’t work well, and it hits the weakest people the most, and causes the most complications in them,” an anesthesiology professor at Duke University said.

ICE is running a “conveyor belt” of illegally detained Minnesota families.
Agents are arresting entire families with legal status and immediately shipping them off to Texas to deny them legal representation and avoid the federal courts in Minnesota.
The cruelty is endless.

Abolish ICE.
There’s no reforming it.
There’s no compromise.
There’s only one way to rein in ICE’s terror campaign. Abolish it.

How did they redact abusers but not the victims? And they expect us to believe 40 nude photos went unnoticed?
That’s exactly why people think the DOJ did this on purpose, to shame these women for coming forward.

People who think retribution against politic dissent is new are wrong. When I wrote for WhiteHouse.Org, a website that mocked the George W. Bush administration, all my boarding passes were marked "SSSS" which meant that everything in bags were unpacked out and searched. Nazism isn't new to America.

Stephen Colbert didn’t retire. CBS pulled the plug. Not for ratings, but because truth became too expensive. In a sanitized media landscape, satire is being dismantled piece by piece. Colbert was just the next to fall.
