The difference is that Alex and Renee were murdered and wasn't supposed to be. If you noticed, the other POC that were murdered, didn't get the outrage. That's how it is in America.

Oh, ok.
Ernesto Padron, a Border Patrol Agent from Brownsville, TX, was arrested in 2010 for possession of CSAM. A case backlog meant the statute of limitations expired before he could be tried. In 2020 Padron was hired at a Texas migrant shelter where he worked directly with unaccompanied migrant children

This is a very good point —& a very bad thing later on. This is the result of people zooming in & following things too closely rather than looking at longer term, I think? Lack of perspective.
Also there’s the liquidity in the system —too much of it —that’s based on *nothing*.

EMBI spread in the chart. it has tightened 132bps since the wides in April '25... in the meantime it hasn't had one reversal of more than 16bps...

Whilst I’m in my photos of the National Museum in Copenhagen, you’d better have this 360 of the Gundestrup Cauldron. Found in 1891 in a Jutland peat bog, there are more questions hanging over this silver Iron Age vessel than answers…only its shocking beauty is uncontested.

The stats make clear that line of duty deaths among ICE goons are no higher than any other federal law enforcement employees, and the Trump Administration’s claim that ICE Brownshirts are being targeted is a fabrication.

In 1946 it became unthinkable to call an American a Nazi. Even ones who'd been card carrying members. It just Wasn't Done. We're seeing the consequences of that now.

They do this to spread fear.
It’s so heavy when you are going to get groceries and you find a car sitting with its windows broken out and it’s empty but still running and someone’s stuffed animals or pictures or papers are just laying all over the road. I have personally seen at least five of these in the last three days alone
ICE's decision to just leave cars abandoned in the roads is one of those dystopian things that makes you recoil in shock when you encounter it.
