A great example of why you should never write off Staten Island: ICE agents’ tires were slashed while staging to disappear New Yorkers.
The agent in the video isn’t fully visible but looks like Brendan Cuni. If so and this is his vehicle, he swapped license plates to avoid detection.

Three out of five men in this shot have been accused of sexual misconduct, harassment or abusive behaviour towards women. A fourth signed into law a near-total abortion ban in his state as governor.

Our immigration policy is now based on what Stephen Miller assumes are the inherent racial qualities of each group: Chinese people and Asians are untrustworthy and suspicious; Latinos are criminals and drug smugglers; black people are stupid and lazy; white people are hard-working and virtuous.

I have all the questions.
Guessing they needed a new use for aquaculture.
Yet another win for the Big Fish Lobby.

There is one, and only one, writer I am truly jealous of and that's Elena Ferrante.
Not because of her success or writing, but because she has been able to keep her actual identity a full secret
(yes I'm aware of the Raja speculation).

The fact that ICE is detaining Native Americans for deportation on Thanksgiving day tells you everything you need to know about this fascist regime. They're not going after "illegal aliens", they're going after brown people.
