MacArthur Park, Los Angeles, 6/18 around 9:30am — Unidentified masked terrorists kidnapped an elderly homeless man off the street and bundled him into a private car with no license plate.

The license plate thing is actually something I’d been having questions about (were they using government plate, for example). Knowing that there’s actually none at all makes it much worse.

Had jury duty this week. The defendant had committed five armed robberies WITH A MACHINE GUN. When asked what I think about firearms, I said: "I think the Second Amendment is one of the stupidest things America ever did, other than the way activist judge Antonin Scalia willfully misinterpreted it."

San Padre Island was denied an expansion to their Convention Center because of loss of habitat but across the channel Spacex has lots of acres that kill everything with their launches, and has a town that closes the public beach when it wants! Something doesn't seem right!

Are we surprised? Every GOP prez adds billions to the deficit and jumps into a war. MAGATS are too stupid to know this but the rest of America predicted all of this. Project 2025 will kill us all.

“A U.S. citizen!” And now he’s missing. Adrian Martinez tried to defend a man ICE was harassing. Video shows six agents swarming him. He struggles but doesn’t lay hands on them. They take him to the ground & shove him into a CBP vehicle. Abuse of power. Keep recording. Don’t stop. (1 of 2)

I oppose war with Iran, but I can’t get excited about Tucker Carlson opposing war with Iran. I’m against it because I’m against unnecessary war generally and because it’d be bad for America. Tucker is against it because he’s gone full Russia flack and Iran is Russia’s middle eastern foothold.

I’m struck by how many people have walked away from important positions to try and warn us that catastrophe is nigh and how little impact sounding the alarm has had on the public or the Congress.

Setting aside the abhorent humanitarian crimes for a moment -- has Iraq been so memory holed that people in power seriously forget what a freaking disaster it was for the US?? Does no asshat pol remember the farce of "Mission Accomplished" and then the endless stream of US casualties and amputees?

Like I've said before, if you have any doubts about climate change, just go to a super-boring insurance conference and listen to the super-boring panels where they dryly talk about the growing threat of disasters so catastrophic and unpredictable in scope they simply cannot be insured at any price.

Incredibly important read. This is exactly what LAPD did to me and two other legal observers standing on a quiet street corner this past weekend—except with rubber bullets, not pepperballs, and aimed at our heads, not our feet. …oh, and the officer waved tauntingly right before shooting at us.

Why is it that legal loopholes can only be exploited by bad guys to do bad things, and not good people who want to do good things?

. If they sell our public lands every single member that votes for it needs to go to jail. There is no need for any such thing. The whole damn bill is nothing but a bank robbery by the majority. Lands which can't be replaced or probably ever clawed back - that amounts to treason. .

ICE has been taking the position nationwide that its field offices, and the detention cells therein, are not facilities "operated by or for [DHS] used to detain or otherwise house aliens," on the argument that the facilities are "processing areas" and therefore not covered detention facilities.

Tonight, I'll go home and sleep in my bed. I have a lawyer, I'll get due process. But Edgardo, whose arm was ripped from mine by ICE agents, has none of those things. That's why I'll keep coming back to court, week after week, to make sure that people's rights are protected.

SIXTY federal agents kitted out like they were taking on Osama Bin Laden to raid a swap meet. The ONLY people they ended up arresting were to people already going through immigration court proceedings, seemingly rearrested because ICE agents didn’t want to go home empty-handed.
