ICE exists to enforce CIVIL immigration law, not CRIMINAL law of any kind. Ergo, there is no legal justification for them:
* to be armed.
* to be masked.
* to kidnap anyone they want when they require judicial warrants to make CIVIL arrests.
* to provide security for the Vice President, ever.
* to be armed.

1. It was not an accident.
2. It was not a staffer.
3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia.
4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares.
5. His base agrees with him.
6. He will do it again.
7. No one in power will hold him accountable.

It’s weird how the White House can just blame a “staffer” for the racist post as if just any low level flunky can pretend to be the President of the United States at any random time.

A traveler from an antique land--great guy--said to me with tears in his eyes "Sir, two vast and trunkless legs of stone stand in the desert." And I said wow, that's really something. But we'll be building a big beautiful statue to my hubris and it will stand for eternity

More people have been arrested as a result of the Minneapolis church protest than as a result of the Epstein files.

The most essential foundation for rebuilding will be official, codified, binding recognition that constitutionally legitimate government ceased on Jan 20, 2025 and everything since then has been null and void. No sustainable system worth having can be built on anything less.

I love this spectacular Ruffed Grouse Pennsylvania resistance bird by Jen Rand ( @jenrand.bsky.social ). The star is a nod to the Quaker tenet of nonviolence, and the style harks back to PA Dutch folk art.

I continue to believe that the fastest way to get Stephen Miller fired is to convince Trump that Miller's ICE operations are what cost him the Nobel Peace Prize.

9/ The problem with this line of thinking is that whether you believe current events are unprecedented or not, you have to face the reality that the existing system of authority, checks and balances is allowing it to take place, and in many ways enabling it.
That matters.

People witness, via multiple camera angles, the ICE hogs kill a guy who had been standing in the street filming them. They wrestle him down, take the pistol he never drew, then shoot him ten times.
Regime: He was a crazed armed domestic terrorist trying to mass murder ICE agents

I'm sorry for the person who was beat to death and killed. My sincere condolences to their loved ones. ICE is going to continue to kill people because the purpose of a system is what it does. It is not what it says it does or what you hope it does. Maybe USians will finally confront this truth.
