A house painter once said to me that H. sapiens is the only species on the planet that does not have a purpose. We get to choose.
Let's find our purpose by working with, not against, nature.

If "unmarked vehicles, wear masks, show no warrants...paperwork, no identification and [are] ...unprofessional and violent..." AND carry lethal weapon that they seem eager to use, then, they ARE either 47's lawless domestic paramilitary or a violent gang. No distinction exists.
What worries me with ice is that the public has no way of knowing if they are really ice. They have unmarked vehicles, wear masks, show no warrants or legal paperwork, no identification, and appear very unprofessional and violent. Anyone could be impersonating ice to terrorize our communities.

Now they are in open violation of a judge's TRO.
This is what happened in our neighborhood yesterday. ICE snatched a human being off of our streets, roughed them up badly, and then pepper sprayed legal observers as they documented it all. This is a daily occurrence happening all throughout Minnesota right now.

🚨WHOA. The El Paso Medical Examiner says it will rule the death of a 55-year-old Cuban man at ICE's "Camp East Montana" tent camp as a homicide.
He was allegedly choked to death by a guard during a "struggle" after he refused to enter a housing unit without his medications.

i’ll say it again, jennings is a contemptible liar and it is a disgrace that CNN puts him on television every night to spread bullshit
The thing is, some people can make mistakes, get things wrong, be careless, etc. But that’s not what Jennings did here. Jennings knowingly, purposefully and intentionally lied to utterly distort what was said, which CNN pays him to do every day. CNN is the enabler of this.

Props to Canada! Boycott us! Maybe sharp elbows will nudge the zombies (who voted for the rolling disaster we are experiencing down here) to wake up.
Trump trying to bully Canada into lifting a boycott on US alcohol has backfired. A new poll for Bloomberg shows most Canadians back the ban. 73% percent of Canadians do not want American liquor returned.

Law enforcement agencies that accept marching orders from a fascist executive branch are not legitimate in a liberal democracy.
Our Constitution neither recognizes nor condones the deployment of lawless paramilitaries solely to terrorize The People because of political differences of opinion.

The new Trump line is that if you "disrespect" a law enforcement officer, he is entitled to murder you... unless it's Jan 6, of course, in which case the protester is entitled to murder the law enforcement officer.
