Also, even though you can see him working Kermit and doing the voice, your focus is entirely on Kermit, not Jim. Sorcery!
What's so amazing about Jim Henson as a puppeteer is that he could literally be explaining that Kermit is made out of felt and ping pong balls and yet Kermit still feels alive the whole time he's doing it

According to multiple NYT sources, it wasn’t even military personnel at Fort Bliss that fired an anti-drone laser at alleged cartel drones. It was CBP who used the weapon on loan from DoD against a child’s party balloon they mistook for a drone. The Pentagon gave CBP an anti-aircraft weapon.

This is the second account - the first being in Chicago - of DHS agents mass detaining people and then *sorting them by race*.
More than 400 people, including hundreds of citizens, were “sorted” at gun point into racial and ethnic groups by 200 ICE agents who fired flash-bang grenades into cars with people inside, pointed guns at children & demanded their zip tied parents not comfort them. apple.news/Ausdx6kWtT0e...

Watching this, it's as if she thinks Trump will have her back as long as she praises him publicly and loudly. "See, daddy? I was loyal to you, wasn't I? My life for you!"
Sadly, Trump expects that loyalty to include taking the fall for him. And he will never even thank her for it.

I don’t really know what I expect in posting this, but maybe some people see it and can learn from it.
I’ll call it “lessons from an unwilling immigration attorney.”

Theoretically, anyway. But it's consistent with GovHK's current mindset that anything even tangentially related to its political enemies is verboten, and anyone associating with them is equally guilty.

If only there was a way to remove Ring doorbells from your home.
Ring is a wildly dangerous company. Always has been. But it has sort of flown under the radar the last couple years as it tried to soften its image. Make no mistake that this is an extremely dangerous surveillance dragnet:

Last year was the second safest year for ICE and BP agents in history, despite a massive ramp up in agression, violence, and abuse by agents themselves.

You know in the movies, where the villain tortures the protagonist's family members or love interest to get them to surrender, and they say, "You're doing this to them, not me. You can end this at any time, just give me what I want"?
This is that.
This is that.
In response to her father’s conviction, Anna Kwok said, “They really want this to be a source of pain for my family. I have to remind myself it is not my fault, it’s not my family’s fault. The government is trying to destroy my values and the people I love.”

This is why domestic "shuffle" flights between ICE detention centers have skyrocketed, much moreso than ICE deportation flights.
When you are moved to a different jurisdiction, you have to refile your habeas petition all over again. They want to wear people down so they'll give up on their cases.
