Ossoff: "What those who build ballrooms and monuments for themselves, what they hate the most is when people hold them accountable at the polls. So why Fulton County? I submit to you it is bc the fact Black voters were instrumental to his defeat might be more offensive to him than the defeat itself"

Arnoldo Bazan, a 16-year-old U.S. citizen, was put in a chokehold by ICE agents.

Agents took his phone, which he tracked to a used electronics vending machine near an ICE detention center.

Yes: ICE is stealing and selling people’s things after brutalizing them. There are no words.

Anyone still quibbling that this isn't fascism?
The White House has ordered the US Dept. of Justice to prioritize denaturalization: voiding the citizenship of US citizens.

Who will it denaturalize? "Any" case that it "determines to be sufficiently important".

I believe this is BORTAC, the Border Patrol's equivalent of SWAT. The guy who eventually shot the Uvalde killer was part of BORTAC. They're trained operators.

There is literally no justification to use BORTAC to round up day laborers. None. Zero. Zip. Nada.
I obtained this from a community member minutes after arriving on scene following a raid at the Cypress Park Home Depot this morning. they detained day laborers.
