As an atheist, I don't see admonishment from the pope as something to pay attention to, either.
We need far, far less religion in our politics and governance.
(Still, thank you for the insight. Sectarianism is mystifying to me.)

It's almost like people forget that our state Representatives, Melissa Hortman, her husband, and their dog were murdered - and our state Senators, John Hoffman, and his wife were shot a total of 17 times - by a rando psycho dressed as a cop.
This masked terrorism is especially hard hitting for us.

St Peter PD denies it "intervened" in any way. Hate how this MPR story is a half-truth that makes local PD out to be the "good guys."

With all due respect, WTF are you talking about? MN hasn't "defeated" anything. We're still being occupied by lawless Feds, being kidnapped & assaulted, having our rights trampled & our lives threatened.
Stop falling for these short attention span false appeasement tactics.

when all the time and money spent on new shit could be for fuck-all because of unscientific political zealotism? If around 60% of sales are OUS, when does the US political fuckwittery become too high a risk to bother with US approvals?

This has been one of my fears since Republicunts first started shrieking about mifepristone. With an anti-vax woo brainworm in charge and destroying the FDA's workforce and institutional knowledge, what incentives do pharma and med dev companies have to continue submissions for US, [1/]

(...) that the workforce has doubled in such a short time, exacerbating the bad and dangerous habits, and you have an unaccountable, highly militarised division that has been spiraling out of control for years under each admin.

Now you have an aggressive supremacist administration hiring untrainable thugs to maraud around our streets, amp up the racial profiling, and disregard any semblance of physical restraint. Combine that with an utterly insane budget that is more than most countries' militaries, and the fact (...)

(...) and found them to be lacking: detaining, arresting, deporting US citizens under three different administrations. They have shitty SOPs that they don't follow anyway, resulting in incomplete records of how many US citizens they actually detain, arrest, and deport. That means no accountability.

Not trying to attack you, here....
Your list is nice, but bordering on absurd.
ICE should be abolished.
It's not even 23 years old and it's been a clusterfuck of incompetence and aggression for that entire time.
