So you're saying ICE is incompatible with the rule of law as practiced in this nation from the founding?
Think I see a pretty easy solution here, champ.

No reason other than this song popped into my head and this scene is actually a good one for Valentine's Day. I guess it has spoilers but also the movie is 25 years old, so maybe the statute of limitations has run out on that (also see the film, it's delightful)

I make my work available for free on yokai.com my ebooks are relatively cheap specifically because I love yokai and want to share this culture with the world. So it's all the more infuriating when some charlatan not only steals my content but gets the facts wrong. It undoes so much of my hard work.
Its upsetting enough that @dailykos.com is OK with publishing plagiarized work of small, independent author/illustrators.
But what makes this worse for me is how long and hard I've worked to promote facts about yokai, only to have this AI slop, incorrect version blasted out by a big corporation.

Calling the requirement for a judicial warrant before entering a person’s home one of the Democrats’ “new restrictions on federal immigration agents” crosses the line into outright falsehood. It’s in the Bill of Rights! A rule as old as the republic.

I’m not voting to fund this lawless violence. Trump’s abuse of power is tearing us apart. We have 3 years left of this presidency. Either we stand up and protect our democracy now, or we risk going down a path that is unthinkable, will hurt countless people and do irreversible damage to our country.

It took less than 5 minutes.

Stephen Miller called the victim, an ICU nurse at the VA filming ICE, a “domestic terrorist who tried to assassinate federal law enforcement.” Greg Bovino said he “wanted to massacre law enforcement.” You saw the videos. How can any Republican not call for their resignations?
