I'm a DC area native. People forget that we exist. That this place isn't a weigh station on a career path for many of us. The systematic destruction of my home town institutions is demoralizing to an extreme degree.
Growing up (especially in the pre-internet 80s/90s) the best part of my morning= digging into the Washington Post sports section before school. It was everything. Then there was the Sunday paper with a big breakfast, the best combo. So many talented people let go because of another evil Billionaire.

The charges against Don Lemon are ridiculous. He’s a target because he’s black, because he’s media, and because he’s a Trump critic, and because Trump and his minions cannot accept any dissent. It’s deeply pathetic, unamerican, and lawless.

I'm calling bullshit on the media narrative that Trump is "pivoting" and "deescalating" on his ICE raids. The threshold is this: As long as the military occupations and the treatment of US cities as enemy territory continue, there's no pivot. ICE out. 1/

Donald Trump Is Frightened
Trump wants to appear eager to minimize out-of-control clashes between government militias and protesters. But he doesn’t want to stop the things causing those clashes in the first place.

The conservative intelligentsia and media-industrial complex has been publicly masturbating about getting to kill people for years now, they are orders of magnitude worse than even the MAGA base. Everybody knows this, it's just politically incorrect to say it.

The newest video shows very clearly that they attacked him for coming to an aid of a woman that the agents pushed, and then executed him while he was immobilized. Everything the government has said, like with Good, has been a complete lie.

ICE has now carried out two summary executions of innocent people in the streets of an American city.
If you work for ICE, there's no denying that's the mission you're supporting now. You don't get to claim in one year or ten or twenty that you didn't know what ICE was doing. You're complicit.

There is a longer version of the video of a kidnapping of this kid - there really is no other word for it - here. As he is being shoved into the DHS vehicle he breaks down. At about the 2 minute mark you hear a DHS agent say "wow - fucking child" sarcastically.
