few things to note about this story:

- the batshit last bit, obvi;
- the Strib put a lot of bylines on this, which is good, but I would especially note that this story was fact checked by a Minnesota woman named MaryJo and my experience with such women suggests that they do not suffer bullshit

Maybe that's true where you are. Over here our Supreme Court just said it's OK to detain people for being non-white and not speaking English. Delete the wig and that image is spot on.

US Supreme Court backs Trump on aggressive immigration raids
The U.S. Supreme Court again backed President Donald Trump's hardline immigration approach on Monday, letting agents proceed with Southern California raids targeting people for deportation based on their race or language in a decision that a dissenting justice said makes Latinos "fair game to be seized at any time."

Justice Keggerbro commented, "If the officers learn that the individual they stopped is a U.S. citizen or otherwise lawfully in the United States, they promptly let the individual go."

I am very happy for the Justice and wish we could all live in such a dream world.

Oddly enough, as more SSRIs have come on the market, violent crime rates have gone down. Not claiming a correlation, of course. Though maybe I should -- why should quacks have all the fun?
