ICE are thug scum.
ICE detain U.S. citizen for looking Somali—use illegal chokehold to tackle him to ground.
Man repeatedly begs agents to look at his digital passport ID—they refuse.
Drove him 7 miles away before releasing him alone into Minnesota snow storm—told him to "walk home" in freezing weather advisory.

Bove has also—after being sworn in as a judge on the Third Circuit—been observed visiting Main Justice for consultations with Bondi and Blanche. Grossly unethical conduct.

A perfect example of how AI boosters want to make people simulacrums so they can charge them a fee to be themselves. Altman wants to replace Dr. Spock's classic sublime advice—"Trust yourself. You know more than you think you do."—with total reliance on his expensive stochastic parrot.

Not to defend Olivia Nuzzi, who broke every rule in journalism and promoted a charlatan to his current position. But it's incredibly telling that she will lose her job, but RFK Jr. gets to stay in his job despite the reports of his drug use, his affairs and his defenestrating of public health.

The point is not whether two people struggling to survive on a capsized boat are in some kind of battle, the point is that we are a nation of laws and due process. Drug running is not a capital crime. This whole spectacle is murder.

The blatant use of false, inaccurate histories to arrive at a decision the majority of the Court clearly wanted regardless of the facts is a feature of both Dred Scott and Dobbs. It’s an apt comparison. 🗃️
If you see John Roberts in person, be sure to tell him he’s a worse Chief Justice than Roger Taney (pronounced “tawny”). That’s a nerd burn that will hit him where it counts.

What's changed is that the Court has become more transparent in its corruption. There's not even an argument here beyond the implicit one which is: how do you expect us to hold the House without those seats?

2) What he says now to avoid confessing a crime is hardly as meaningful as documentation/recordings of the decision.
3) What's described here is *still* a crime! You can't just execute people because you claim they're "attempting to continue their drug run."
