Climate refugee living in reality in the PNW

Retired from serving the People of America as a California Public Defender (Trial lawyer) for 25 years.

Rescue Dogs are the best.

I post pictures and videos for fun.

This is the fundamental conflict of our time.

Resist any who don’t respect the right to exist.
Use note:
If they are already using excessive force on you and you produce a weapon you are very likely to die. You won’t be around when they decide if your killing was justified or not.

Our government is following the script precisely. They lie even when we see the tape.

This is fun: The $50k signing bonus is only payable after 5 years of service.

Anyone think they will ever collect?

Scammed by Trump yet again.

Taking bets on how many times the feckless wonders that are left at DOJ fail to get grand jury indictments against either Walz or Frey.

It’s surprising that these pundits don’t seem to understand that Canada is reacting to their formerly closest ally and trading partner becoming wholly unreliable and dangerous.

Canada is trying to survive us.

The federal obstruction statute requires force.
The DOJ is both corrupt and stupid now.

He is not a lawyer but he sure loves to pretend to be a bad one.

This is utterly ridiculous

Paid and armed agitators.

They are just out attacking citizens now. Not even the pretense of immigration enforcement. Paid and armed agitators is what they are.

It will become increasingly important for people to take video and protect and save that video so that when there is finally an accounting for what’s happening, there will be evidence.

Pritzker: The Insurrection Act is designed for circumstances where your rights can’t be protected by local authorities

This is exactly the opposite.

Your civil rights are being infringed upon by CBP and ICE, and then they want to call in troops claiming that they’re protecting CBP and ICE.

How can anyone argue this is immigration enforcement?

It’s obviously a pretext at this point.

They are not doing immigration enforcement at all. They are simply out attacking protesters.

The good news is that SIX seasoned federal prosecutors in Minnesota have resigned rather than engage in a bogus 'investigation' of Renee Good and her wife rather than investigating Good's killer.

The bad news is that there are now six fewer honest, dedicated federal prosecutors with DOJ.
