"ICE guys are pretty miserable. I don’t think morale is particularly high for them. They’re freezing, they’re getting shouted at. They can’t go anywhere without being tailed by 5 cars. They get out and immediately there's a crowd of 100 people shouting at them, blowing whistles as loud as they can."

Rep. Mark Harris: "Some of these things are nonstarters. Having judicial warrants? To me, hat's a nonstarter. Being able to make off their mask, putting them at risk? That's a nonstarter. I would say anything that's going to hamstring the work of ICE, that's just not going to go anywhere."

At least the Nazis went to the trouble of passing the Nuremberg Laws and making the brutality and totalitarianism street legal. The gutlessness of the American run at fascism is that they want to do it simply by pretending the Bill of Rights never existed or meant anything.

The president had his DOJ raid an election office and seize ballots. Now he is threatening to take over elections. Sadly, this is treated by legacy media as just another normal day.

So let’s be clear. Forced arbitration doesn’t protect survivors. It protects institutions. It protects abusers.
A moral question: Why are Washington Democrats trying to shield a monster instead of standing with the people he allegedly harmed?

Now here’s the especially sick part.
Washington lawmakers are pushing a bill that would force these survivors into arbitration. No public courtroom. No jury. No accountability. Just silence. And to add insult to injury, it would charge victims money just to speak.

Dr. Isaac Pope is being called the Larry Nassar of Washington state.
A civil lawsuit alleges he sexually assaulted hundreds of children in state juvenile facilities in the 1980s and 90s. Kids who were supposed to be protected. Kids who had no power. The abuse went on for years.
