Retired. I moved around a lot, found places that I loved and some I didn't like. I wasn't born in Eastport, Maine but I got here as soon as I could.

Serious question: What's stopping the State of Illinois from arresting Stephen Miller & charging him with incitement?
The Senate didn't confirm him. He's just a guy.
At some point, the states MUST use their authority to prosecute, because the federal government certainly will not.

I'll point out that #Texas is common state for #medical conferences. As a clearly not white-presenting person, but someone who has just right skin tone to be profiled as either Hispanic or Arab, you could not pay me any amount of money to go to Texas or Florida, lest I end up in Alligator Alcatrez

“You a U.S. citizen?”
“Uh yes” then let me go..

BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.”
They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.
