Just walk out! You can leave!
tonight while recording a guest spot on a podcast i experienced an unacceptable level of disrespect from one of the hosts. so i decided to do what felt right for me and i left. i didn’t need to stick around to show i’m “tough” or “thick skinned.” i reminded myself that no one is owed my time.

A dozen vehicles. 15+ ICE agents. All to apprehend one person who wasn’t even home.
This isn’t an effective use of time or resources. This is simply terrorizing a neighborhood and our community.
ICE makes us less safe. End Operation Metro Surge.

At least in Rittenhouse’s case, he ended up broke teaching classes on gun safety for $50 an hr. Conservative consultants and lawyers milked him dry, then he fled to Florida. Many such cases.

ICE use of Border Control agents is disgusting. Most of these agents are criminals with a badge, running free rein on innocent people. Just like the prison guards ICE has hired. They are thugs and losers.
