And I genuinely, truly and non-trollingly, understand concerns about threats to officers in question, but in every single other law enforcement shooting I've covered, authorities name the individual(s) involved. This is just the baseline of public accountability.

For centuries, American Men have convinced each other - through culture & conditioning - that violence is power. When in reality: violence is loss of control. 99% of people only commit violence when they lose control of their emotions. Violence does NOT DISPLAY POWER - it only shows weakness.

Pew Research Institute (2023): ⢠Red State Texas has about 2.1 million undocumented immigrants ⢠Red State Florida has 1.6 M undocumented immigrants ⢠Blue State Minnesota has 130,000. And yet only Minnesota is being occupied by masked thugs over "immigration." It's *not* about immigration.

We already have complete access to Greenland, including unfettered freedom of navigation into the Arctic. We have a military base. We have early warning radar systems in place that will integrate with the ādome.ā And we have allies to help defend it. We donāt need Greenland.

In an equitable America, we'd have far more parties than 2. And thus, more viewpoints being represented - negotiating with others on behalf of their needs. BUT, the most important thing to remember is that cooperation, multi-partisanship, and multiplicity of viewpoints would be a REQUIREMENT. š§µ

One thing that comes through awfully clearly in these ICE videos is how many of these goons gravitated toward the job because being able to assault people with impunity is a big thrill for them.

Itās not just that the President of the United States posted a video of eleven people being murdered in international waters itās that the President of the United States ordered the murder of eleven people in international waters so he could post a video of it.

Just some creepy armed Mad Max guys trying to gain entry to Dodgers Stadium. ICE says it wasnāt them. DHS says they were Border Patrol. But honestly who the hell knows? Theyāve given permission for any psycho to put on a ski mask, point a gun, grab people & throw them into an unmarked vehicle.

Anyone else feel like you're losing your mind when the legacy media obsesses over the former president's decline, while they aggressively sanewash - nay, ignore- the current president's increasingly unhinged behavior and outright destruction of our country in real time?

The possibility of abduction by a sovereign and imprisonment abroad is one criterion that separates democracies from dictatorships. The Declaration of Independence called the British king tyrannical for transporting Americans, ābeyond Seas to be tried for pretended Offenses.ā

This is terrifying in America. ICE agents are showing up maskedāthese abductions must stop. If youāre going to detain someone, show your face, present a warrant, and proper ID. Disappearing people from their families without evidence or accountability isnāt law enforcementāitās state-sponsored fear.

Theyāre not going to get out of this by playing semantics. Sending detailed information about an upcoming military strike on unclassified channels (and even to the wrong guy) is wrong, reckless, and obviously a threat to American troops.
