Toad sat on the edge of his bed. “Blah,” said Toad. “I feel down in the dumps.”

“Why?” asked Frog.

“I am thinking about tomorrow,” said Toad.

“Chicago has long been a laboratory for policing. From the repression of labor movements in the early 20th century, to COINTELPRO surveillance, to Jon Burge’s torture regime... the city has been central to testing and refining state violence.”

DoD has adopted this position wholesale now and frankly every commander who has done so needs to face an Article 32 hearing when this is over with, and any JAG who has gone along with it needs to be disbarred

Big boy crimes need big boy consequences, at all levels of the chain
This is well-stated, and most welcome

Your average “lefty“ is not Stephen Miller on this issue you fucking goof. This is one of those things that people feel is true because the uninformed (Americans) keep saying it and because they’ve actually internalized Roma discrimination.

Oh, the Mexican drug cartels are involved in trying to "dox" ICE agents? The same thing you're claiming the protesters are trying to do? How convenient!

Trump and Hegseth announce a fourth strike on boats in the Caribbean. Claim 6 were killed. If the White House's figures are accurate, that brings the total killed to 27. With no evidence presented by the US proving they're drug traffickers. x.com/PeteHegseth/...

The executive is usurping a core Article I function, this should be treated with the same amount of alarm as if he declared he's disbanding Congress, because that's functionally what he's doing/done

At issue is what is actually happening at Broadview, Perry says.
Local law enforcement agencies say the protests are under control, while federal officials say they present an urgent threat.
Perry: "DHS' perception of events are simply unreliable."

A second set of pre-trial motions is due by Oct. 30.

Comey’s defense counsel, Patrick Fitzgerald, said he expects that batch to include a motion regarding abuse of grand jury process and an “outrageous government conduct” motion.

Hey, you guys? Is it a good sign or a bad sign if the prosecution is just getting its hands around the evidence *after* it criminally charged the former FBI director?
At one point during the hearing, the judge asked the prosecution why the case can’t be tried before mid-December.

Lemons replied: We are “just getting our hands around” discovery in the case.

There’s lots of it, he added, and it includes a “significant” amount of classified information.

It’s important to flood social media and news channels with news about how ICE lies, so that potential jurors see it.
