GOP Rep. Thomas Massie: “How will we know if this bill has been successful? We will know when rich men are being perp walked in handcuffs to the jail. Until then, this is still a coverup.”

Do you remember when people were saying "I think my phone is listening to me, i'm getting ads for stuff I spoke about" and people said "They arent listening to you, they're just this good at predicting your interests"?

Well, it happens they were doing exactly that.

A reminder that the New England Patriots plane is flown by Omni air who contracts with ICE to fly people in chains to Africa and Asia several times per week.

Go Seahawks.

I can’t stress this enough. The state of 4th Amendment law is that the cops can’t force you to type in a passcode but they can force you to swipe your finger or present your face. Never stop using passcodes/passwords to unlock your devices. And consider additional code to unlock Signal.
The FBI was able to access Washington Post reporter Hannah Natanson's Signal messages because she used Signal on her work laptop. The laptop accepted Touch ID for authentication, meaning the agents were allowed to require her to unlock it. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

This is the correct way to police ICE. And it drives the far right nuts. Good.

The police chief in a small Minnesota city intervened to prevent ICE agents from arresting a local woman who had been observing and recording them from her car, when they took her into custody.

It's believed to be the first time a local police department in Minnesota intervened in an ICE action.

Well, if I *could* think, and discovered that I’d been created by thieves merely to enrich them by the exploitation of others’ stolen work, I might not feel all that loved either.

I continue to see an IG pattern of a private account with few followers posting comments like "he shouldn't have attacked the agents". Then all these people reply with facts but THAT ENGAGEMENT elevates the first post -- which is a troll bot built to frame narratives.

Block + move on, DON'T engage

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

Walz: "To Americans who are watching this, I've got a question for you: What side do you want to be on? The side of an all powerful federal govt that can kill, injury, menace, & kidnap its citizens off the streets? Or on the side of a nurse at the VA hospital who died bearing witness to such govt?"
