This. Less the brought-to-justice part, as that is beyond naive.
Stop calling them ICE agents. They’re not actual law enforcement. They are thugs-for-hire recruited from the Proud Boys, J6ers, and others. They are violent predators given the freedom to run wild against the people they have demonized. Every one of them must be brought to justice when this is over.

It's incredible that we let billionaires bloviate about their policy views without throwing tomatoes at them. We know what they want, they want policies that work for a few dozen people and immiserate the other 300 million. Not interested!

Meta is constructing its largest data center yet: a $10 billion facility in Louisiana, as big as 70 football fields, requiring more than twice as much electricity as the City of New Orleans.
Louisiana has had to greenlight $3 billion in new energy infrastructure to service Meta's facility.

What’s more astonishing: 1) that the president clearly believes, and repeatedly suggests, that asylum seekers are people from mental asylums, or 2) that no journalist has ever challenged him on this and no mainstream media outlets have done any deep dives on this story?

"Charlie Kirk was a provocateur who lived somewhere between the performative dialectic combat of Andrew Breitbart and the hyperbolic hate-mongering of Alex Jones. He appealed to the worst instincts of our American spirit, doing everything in his power to further the culture war for profit."
To clutch our pearls because a few people are expressing sentiments Kirk himself would have expressed is a bit much for me. michaelianblack.substack.com/publish/post...

Here’s how fossil fuel pollution causes floods. It’s not that hard to understand, except that fossil fuel invests billions of dollars in making sure people don’t understand. Don’t let yourself be fooled.
