Federal Agents cracked my ribs yesterday in the process of violating my 1st amendment right to observe and protest ICE enforcement activity in Minneapolis. I was detained for about 7 hours, and released without charges. They kept my cell phone.

For those who don't know the regs, there are restrictions on the amount of cash one can bring into most countries ($10K USD), but there are very few restrictions on the amount one can send outside. So where we have 2 people, there has been not even a regulatory offense committed.

How can you address men's emotional needs at a time when the "feminization of everything" has become the consensus source of all society's problems, and emotional needs are coded as feminine?
My sense is that the “male loneliness crisis” is not really about addressing men’s emotional needs but rather the relatively newfound absence of having someone to perform domestic labor for you quietly in the background now that there is a longer gap between your mother and your wife doing it

I keep saying this but no one is connecting the dots. The war is to satisfy legal preconditions for mass removal *domestically* of Latinos (i.e., suddenly a lot of people are going to be “Venezuelan” for purposes of removal). This is 100% Stephen Miller…oil claim is to make grandpa go along
There is no national security logic that would impel the US to want to do regime change in Venezuela. It's simply not that important. I'm not even sure wag the dog is the right metaphor for what's happening here. Seems like an insane misallocation of US national security assets and attention.
Trump: "Venezuela is completely surrounded by the largest Armada ever assembled ... It will only get bigger, and the shock to them will be like nothing they have ever seen before — Until such time as they return to the USA all of the Oil, Land, and other Assets that they previously stole from us."

Certiorari "before judgment" is how #SCOTUS takes up a full appeal *before* the intermediate federal courts have heard it.
It used to be exceedingly rare. For instance, there wasn't a *single* grant of such expedited review b/w August 2004 & February 2019.
This is the *23rd* such grant since then.
