Every time I hear this completely disingenuous argument that they "have to wear masks" to protect themselves and their families from being doxxed, it makes me crazy. It has to do with impunity, not safety.

The Real Reason ICE Agents Wear Masks
Face coverings may work less to protect federal agents from danger than to make it easier for them to do unconstitutional things.

Exactly right. Miles just laid it out plainly and suddenly the story snapped into focus. When the facts line up this cleanly, the denial doesn’t matter. This is why independent reporting still scares the hell out of them.

In case you didn't quite connect the dots that Trump is and has always been a racist shitbag from the birth certificate fiasco 15 years ago (not to mention his call for executing the Central Park Five 37 years ago).
Not to worry! Our cowardly news media will normalize it, as they always have.

Last night, Trump posted a video to his social media platform that contained a racist clip showing Barack and Michelle Obama as monkeys. It's still up:

In 1946, cartoonist & illustrator Noel Sickles was sent by Life magazine to sketch the Nuremberg trials. Here is his sketch of the execution of Joachim Von Ribbentrop, who claimed at trial that his boss had made all of the important decisions, & that he was only following orders.

Trump: "I have determined that the fastest way to bring The Trump Kennedy Center to the highest level of Success, Beauty, and Grandeur, is to cease Entertainment Operations for an approximately two year period of time, with a scheduled Grand Reopening that will rival and surpass anything."

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning.
Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

This judge does the thing quoting the Declaration of Independence at the Trump regime then adds for good measure: "Observing human behavior confirms that for some among us, the perfidious lust for unbridled power & the imposition of cruelty in its quest know no bounds & are bereft of human decency."

I'm no constitutional lawyer, obviously, but if Trump's FBI manages to "find" enough ballots in Fulton County to "prove" that he won the 2020 election...
... Doesn't the 22nd Amendment then invalidate his 2024 win?

I want to say this is satisfying, but... Bovino gets to retire. Renee Good and Alex Pretti don't. So no, not very satisfying at all.
BREAKING Greg Bovino has been removed as Border Patrol "commander at large" and will return to El Centro Calif, where he is expected to retire soon. A stunning turnaround after Pretti killing. Bovino's traveling blue city crackdown is over www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

The great Sal Buscema passed away over the weekend, just shy of 90. His work was just pure comics. Happy I got to meet him a couple of times; even happier I got to have his finishes over my layouts back in 1997 on an issue of ROBIN (see below). Like being knighted with a loaded brush. So long, sir.

This seems a silly thing to complain about with everything happening in the country and the world right now, but I am currently besieged by incessant cold calls from a) roofers and b) loan providers. All day. Every day. My general patience is at a low ebb right now, so it's driving me up a wall.

Wow, ICE is really doubling down on this "we're the real victims here" BS, aren't they?

And yes, I'm as stunned as anyone else to be reposting Bill Kristol. But when you're right, you're right.
I guess it’s good for the networks to have all the Trump apparatchiks on to lie, so we can see how despicable they are. I admire the anchors who ask them tough questions. I couldn’t be in the same room as them. And if I were on a panel afterwards, all I would say is: “They lie. They lie. They lie.”

They murdered Good and Pretti, a poet and a nurse, one whose last words were “I’m not mad,” another whose last act was shielding another. Because of course that’s who they killed. Everyday people.

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.

As we're already seeing with January 6th.
When it comes to documenting ICE activity, remember what Eisenhower said at the end of WWII.
"Get it all on record now - get the films - get the witnesses - because somewhere down the track of history some bastard will get up and say that this never happened."
