First of all, I apologize on behalf of the United States. We are being held hostage by a bunch of fascists.

Life in prison for every member of ICE is now the moderate position.
This is the gofundme for Alberto Castañeda Mondragón, who suffered multiple skull fractures at the hands of ice officers and then shackled to the bed while being treated at HCMC (against the wishes of hospital staff)

Alberta separatists recognize that the whole idea of Alberta joining the US is a nonstarter with Albertans. Funny that. This looks increasingly like one of the "independence" operations run by the Russian intelligence services.

Epstein took this photo at a 2015 dinner with Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk and emailed it to himself. Further review shows the same photo displayed on Epstein’s credenza. While much of the image on the credenza had previously been obscured, this email now makes clear what it shows.

When the U.S. Supreme Court said that you could detain people based on their race, their accent, or the language they spoke… there is nothing to preclude ICE from doing that while you’re standing in line getting ready to cast a ballot.

Makes me want to rewatch the sitcom to see if there had been sane washing of anything of import.
