18 U.S.C. § 2703(c)(2) in the news. wapo.st/4rtfCw8

INBOX: @ajc.com found that through the first nine months of the second Trump administration, ICE recorded more than 8,500 confirmed arrests in Georgia, the fourth-most prolific state behind TX, FL, and CA. Fewer than 1/3 of those arrested (!) were convicted criminals, and 112 (!!) were children.

The only laws from God and Jesus about borders in the entire Bible, Old and New Testament, are the commandments to welcome the stranger and treat the alien as one of your own. Jesus Christ, how the MAGA hates Jesus Christ.

In case you are wondering how much of a Christian donald trump is

In the late 1990s, Peter Thiel read a strange book called "The Sovereign Individual: How To Survive and Thrive During the Collapse of the Welfare State." It predicted the decline of nations and the rise of a "cognitive elite" empowered by a new digital currency. And now...(coming August 2026)

A GA senator, @ossoff.senate.gov, led an investigation of ICE facilities. This investigation increased our knowledge and awareness of abuse and lack of medical care for detainee's being held by ICE. Health is a human right! Talk about this. All humans should be treated humanely.

I’m really glad I got to call Bovino a fascist on German television (German mainstream audiences still gasp when you do that), in a feature that aired on Sunday and is also available for streaming online - right before he got his ass handed to him by the good people of Minnesota:

We will crush the skulls of our enemies beneath our boots and hear the lamentations of their women. <loses humiliatingly> Look, I think it’s time to turn down rhe temperature a little. Why are you so divisive?

1. After weeks of silence, the CEOs of 68 large corporations based in Minnesota released and statement on ICE saying... what exactly? "There are ways for us to come together to foster progress..." "State, local and federal officials [should] work together to find real solutions..."

ALEX JEFFREY PRETTI. Gone, but never forgotten... #RIP_Alex 💔

Both the ones here and the multiple third-country torture camps they're shipping people to. Between what's almost certainly underreported in the domestic ones they're running, plus third countries, plus the boat strikes, it is fairly likely they have already murdered into the hundreds of people.

The attorney general is threatening a state that the federal government will continuing murdering its citizens in the streets unless they provide access to state voter rolls, a lawless demand which is the subject of ongoing litigation.

Four-time Grammy Award nominee Jesse Welles performs his song "Join Ice." Bob Dylan once said a single folk singer could defeat an entire army. Ladies and gentlemen, I think we have our man.
