The constitutional remedy for a government that conspired in secret to systematically violate the Fourth Amendment is impeachment of all officials involved, removal, disqualification, and criminal prosecution.
At a time of unprecedented daily scandals, this this whistleblower complaint, and the memo it reveals for the first time, breaks through for me as beyond the pale.
It's the federal government conspiring in secret to subvert the Fourth Amendment.

That is an ICE agent pepper spraying a restrained victim in the face at close quarters; it's an unquestionable and indefensibly abusive use of excessive force that should (but won't) be criminally prosecuted as assault

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional!
ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

Attn news commentators: Trump saying he could use force to obtain Greenland but won’t is not Trump saying he won’t use force to obtain Greenland. It is Trump using force as a threat to obtain Greenland. That is why he mentions it.

This is pure, unabashed bigotry.
If a politician said this about any other faith, they would rightfully be run out of their party.
But this kind of despicable anti-Muslim rhetoric is so normalized that a sitting Senator uses it without consequence.
A stain on our Congress.

Trump cheered China for Tiananmen Square (violent crackdown on pro-democracy protestors) and cheered Russia for invading Ukraine (unprovoked aggression in pursuit of conquest).
Minneapolis and Greenland shouldn't be a surprise. But for whatever reason, tons of people chose not to take him seriously.

There's no better way to observe MLK Day than to go on the news and insist that the civil rights protesters objecting to police brutality are actually "paid agitators"
Rep. Byron Donalds: "These agitators -- who by the way are paid, folks. America, they are paid to do this kind of mess."

A man is comes to the US fleeing war, makes his life here, becomes a citizen. Years pass, and armed paramilitary troops bash in his door and haul him, nearly naked, out of this house and into the freezing cold. For no good reason. Maybe, just maybe, it's ICE who are the "worst of the worst"

I want every football stadium in America to have uprights to make different noises when they're hit by a ball. A true soundscape of America, how does your doink sound?
DOINK! (CLANG!)
