The ICE stories in this Reddit thread should shake every American, regardless of party, to their core. We no longer have a Constitution. This is fascism, pure and simple.

My friend wrote a book, so I thought I'd pick up a copy and see what I could learn from him.

This turkey vulture flew right over my head and landed on top of our power pole. It then proceeded to survey its surroundings, without seeming to mind me walking up for a photo opp.

The purpose of these tariffs is to be able to lift them to those who bow down to him and sacrifice their dignity. That is what he did to the GOP, the billionaires, and is doing now to Big Law. Those who stand up will be punished, those who bend a knee and humiliate themselves will be rewarded.

No matter your station in life, there is astoundingly little separating you from those men in that cage behind Kristi Noem. No charges, no attorneys, no hearings, no trial. Just conjecture and brute force could be enough to justify completely dehumanizing you, too.

This is always good advice.
ATTN: it might be a good idea to freeze your credit with all three agencies now that Musk has all your info. I froze mine long ago and it’s pretty easy to unfreeze temporarily if you need to.

For anyone else preferring to ignore the US news for a few days to insulate themselves from the madness, here's a bird making a hole to hide in, and a squirrel hiding in someone's else's hole, both from my yard this weekend.
