Yeah my job is pretty cool. My uniform is a tactical vest that’s two sizes too small and a gaiter I bought in a gas station. They send me to sneak into schools to kidnap little kids because people got mad about having to press 1 for English. The president had to warn everyone to stop spitting on me.

there’s a valuable lesson here for democrats in that voters want politicians to be bold and clearly stand FOR SOMETHING but i have a feeling democrats will continue opening TACO trucks in front of the white house or begging for war with iran instead sadly

all the troop and cop fetishism has led to something really remarkable: legions of unaccountable masked stormtroopers just nabbing people in sleepy little towns. struggling to think of any conception of a free and open society that could honestly countenance this
ICE (or maybe DEA? who knows?) shows up again in the same quiet Berkshires town, at a landscaping job site.
This time business owners confronted the agents, demanded they show warrants or IDs. The agents refused.
“I felt like I was in North Korea,” owner says.

Don’t let hippos sniff mopeds
Or a deer chew your bike
Hide big wheels from gators
They know what they like
Geese love to rub rowboats
Ducks will tickle your van
Rabbits snuggle with tractors
Whenever they can
Squirrels smooch skateboards
If a door’s left ajar
And whatever you do
