Murderers impersonating cops is the natural outflow of actual cops insisting they need not identify themselves nor show their faces. Anyone can yell “police” and you’re just supposed to cower I guess.

It is an ICE agent taking an axe to the car window of an immigrant in New Bedford, MA. Not far from where I sit now. An immigrant with no criminal record was abducted by this smiling man.

Hey, do you know what you call a guy who never admits a mistake, who becomes President of the United States by never admitting a mistake, who then convinces his entire presidential administration to never admit—let alone correct—any mistake, leading to innocents getting life sentences?
A sociopath.

“The rule of law is being trampled. Innocent people are being disappeared. Court orders are being ignored.
If you claim to love this country—if you believe in the Constitution, due process, order, and justice—this must be your line in the sand.”

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

Not getting much attention, but the Senate GOP is about to start voting - to make sure banks can charge higher overdraft fees. Seriously.
Good time to let your Senators know what you think of that.

Do I think prisoners should be given country club amenities? No. But this is inhumane. It is barbaric.
“One young man sobbed when a guard pushed him to the floor. He said, ‘I’m not a gang member. I’m gay. I’m a barber.’ I believed him. *** He “began to whimper,” as his head was roughly shaved, “folding his hands in prayer as his hair fell.” He “asked for his mother & cried as he was slapped again.”

Trump walks to Marine One to head to Mar-a-Lago to play golf on the taxpayers dime.
This trip will cost us $3.1 million, which could be used by USAID to feed 710 starving children for a full year.
