I'm going to preface this little rant by saying I AM NOT ADVOCATING ANYTHING. Just observing. And get to the end, I have a point, I promise.

Thanks to the Victorians claiming a New Rome mantle and then using Latin for their legalese, we have the incorrect idea that our laws are based on Roman Law 🧵

🚨BREAKING: Don Lemon arrested by Trump’s DOJ

The Trump admin is snatching people off the streets.
Killing protestors
Threatening invasion of allies
Seizing ballots.

And now arresting journalists.

This is Trump’s America.
THIS IS HOW DEMOCRACY DIES.
Are we going to just let him destroy us?

This is a cover up of a murder, led by our own federal government.
Screenshot of an X post by Omar Jimenez (@OmarJim…, 7h) stating that Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison says he doesn’t have the names of the agents who shot Alex Pretti, adding: “I’ve been a lawyer for 36 years. I’ve never seen anything like this before.” Below is a CNN video thumbnail showing a split screen: on the left, an older man in a black cap and glasses labeled “Brown | Business Owner,” and on the right, Keith Ellison in a suit. A CNN “LIVE” bug appears in the corner.

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.

NYT says ICE shot him in the back:

An “agent aims his own firearm at Mr. Pretti’s back and appears to fire one shot at close range… A third agent unholsters a weapon. Both agents appear to fire additional shots into Mr. Pretti as he lies motionless… At least 10 shots appear to have been fired…”

As grim and dire as things are, I do have to say that it's kind of hilarious seeing Rubio standing behind someone he KNOWS is a moron listening to him pretend that oil companies are willing to go into Venezuela

Then the spouses, who generally manage the household finances, will have to figure out whether to use that lump sum on groceries, which they cannot afford, or to actually use it towards housing, which they cannot afford. Masterful plan.

OK, so the warrior dividends come from a housing allowance supplement that was in the Big Beautiful Bill, it has nothing to do with tariffs. That housing allowance for off-base expenses has been seen as inadequate, which necessitated the increase.

More than $2.9 billion in reconciliation funds was allocated to beef up troop housing allowances. Now, it’s being used for $1,776 checks.

Sad!
2 minutes ago Shawn McCreesh The energy level at the military parade here is a bit desultory. The crowds are calm and light, a bit sapped after waiting in the oppressive D.C. humidity for hours to make it to this point, and it's now spitting rain. The announcer stopped with the neat history lesson just now and an instrumental version of Heart's "Barracuda" is being blasted over the loudspeakers.

Someone dressing up as a police office and shooting two elected officials IN THEIR HOMES is yet another example of why ICE agents need to identify themselves if they are detaining anyone.
