I'm seeing people wonder why ICE is going after Charlotte.

ICE has been at war with Charlotte's sheriff ever since he won in 2018.

We'd covered this at Bolts back in the day; this quote is from that sheriff:
“When the 8 African American sheriffs took over the largest counties in North Carolina, it became a threat to the good ol’ boy system,” says the sheriff of Charlotte. These new sheriffs broke ties with ICE.

But GOP lawmakers cracked down this week, overbidding the governor’s veto to adopt this law:
North Carolina GOP Is Cracking Down on the Black Sheriffs Who Stood Up to ICE
Boosted by new supermajorities, Republicans are closing in on legislation to mandate more collaboration with ICE and preempt local policies hard-won by immigrants’ rights advocates.

Fifty years from now a history teacher initiates a 3D hologram of this man throwing his hat into the air in the center of the lecture hall.

“Can anyone tell me who this man is and the significance of the event he was a pivotal part of?”

Haha this is so funny. College Football has that same charming silliness that we love in minor league baseball. I get why the NFL has to be like the office. But all complementary pageantry surrounding college ball is the best.

in the ranking of politicians i blame for the CDC attack, MTG is def in the top five. hell, the shooter was from her district iirc
MTG has been one of the biggest purveyors of MAGA harassment for five years now. So much so that it feels like she's been in office for 25 years, not just since 2021.
Just in the past 3 days, I happened to speak to an academic, a US politician and a former Biden official who had all received death threats and severe harassment from the MAGA movement. It's now a common experience. I am sorry MTG has to live through the same thing, but she can't be surprised

So border patrol and ICE is packed with violent drug addicts and here's the proof. It would be cool if someone asked Mike Johnson why drug addicted criminals are allowed to wear masks and terrorize American citizens.

If Vance had said he was a committed elon musk dickrider, that would be less embarrassing and a little more dignified.
“I’m a Grok guy” is the single most embarrassing phrase ever uttered in the course of human history.
JD Vance: "I'm a Grok guy. I think it's the best. It's also the least woke."
