This is the sort of thing that defines fascism more than most other aspects. The installation of secret police to monitor everyone for suspicion not of doing anything wrong, but of being the wrong kind of person.
I’m not sure people outside the Twin Cites realize the prevalence and the fear ICE is causing in Twin Cities. They are dining undercover pretending to be couples at restaurants, they are going to businesses and checking the license plates of cars to find employees. Every public place is compromised.

Bill and Hillary Clinton have stated again and again. That they will testify.
In the open and televised. For the American people to hear the truth.
The Republicans are scared of that and are insisting only behind closed doors.

When people inevitably go "throwing grenades at babies is NOT who we are, ICE is NOT acting like legitimate law enforcement" etc:
Cops have a long history of throwing grenades at babies. Without any consequence.

In 2016, cops in Georgia burst into the wrong house in the middle of the night on a no-knock warrant and threw a flashbang grenade into a toddler's crib.
It took the family two years to get a settlement, the county refused to pay the $1 million medical bills.

NEW: Data released by ICE shows that virtually the entire growth of detention in the last few months has been among people with no criminal record at all - no prior convictions (no matter how minor) and no pending criminal charges.

American Samoans, unique among *everyone* born in US states or territories, are denied US citizenship.
That means they are banned from voting.
That's made some a target of vicious GOP prosecution for fraud; even if they were told incorrect info from public officials.

Some thoughts on the dietary guidance that just dropped from HHS and the USDA.
USDA is responsible for both promoting US agricultural products and for nutritional guidance. You can see the problem.
This may be why products from two struggling industries—cattle and dairy—appear at the top.

When Joshua Clemans posted these, he was a partner at New Founding, which is backed by Peter Thiel ally Marc Andreessen. Thiel, Andreessen, & New Founding co-founder Nate Fischer are invested in Pronomos Capital, which supports the construction of crypto colonies around the world. 1/

I am impeaching Secretary Kristi Noem, who is an incompetent leader and a disgrace to our democracy.
She wreaked havoc in the Chicagoland area and has brought her reign of terror to Minneapolis. One of her rogue ICE agents shot and killed an innocent woman today. It must come to an end.
