track by Brad Engler

Beyond These Walls is among three tunes I recorded this summer that will be released as an EP…sometime…likely after they’re done. Right?
I have someone working on this a whole other state, now. Hot damn.

From a good friend in Minneapolis: "Target is allowing ICE to stage in their parking lots, use their restrooms, and abduct people from inside their stores - so if you weren’t boycotting already, now is the time." They were staging in Chicago as well.

one of the weirdest things about the current moment is how the national media have to pretend like they don't know what this is about. official government social media accounts are posting about racially cleansing America and they have to pretend like it's not clear who the bad guy is.

I love that we have four or five separate examples of ICE thugs directly threatening to murder dissidents by saying precisely the same thing (haven't you learned your lesson?), and it never fails to just make people virulently angry. They just refuse to believe it's not working.

BREAKING: James Rodden, an ICE prosecutor who the Observer identified last year as the operator of an X account that posted “America is a White nation," “‘Migrants’ are all criminals,” and apparent praise of Adolf Hitler, appeared to be back at work Tuesday.

“I think the gestapo needs better training” after a 45-42 “abolish the gestapo” poll sure is an interesting leadership style.

Really need to start describing MAGA and its members the same as any other violent extremist group. for example:
"Member of violent MAGA organization's political wing uses right-wing media to encourage government officials to surrender to erratic leader's pretextual threats of prosecution."
"Member of violent MAGA organization's political wing uses right-wing media to encourage government officials to surrender to erratic leader's pretextual threats of prosecution."
Sen. Kevin Cramer: "Maybe the point should be if you're the attorney for Jay Powell and you want to avoid an indictment, how about you go to Jeanine Pirro and say, 'I'll make a deal. I'll step down today if you drop the investigation today.' To me, that would be a win win for everybody."

This goes to show that it's possible for two people to watch the same video and draw two different conclusions, especially if one of them is willing to lie about what they saw.
Mike Johnson on Renee Good: "This woman was taunting ICE officers. She was impeding law enforcement. She was violating a number of laws. They were very patient ... what I saw was she hit the accelerator and hit the ICE officer and he reacted in a split second."
