Covered license plates. Unmarked vehicles. A teen thrown to the ground. In Joliet, ICE isn't enforcing immigration law. They are running a street intimidation operation with federal badges. There is a word for governments that make people disappear into unmarked vehicles. We should start using it.

Disturbing reports from Joliet show ICE goons using aggressive, questionable tactics, including alleged racial profiling and forcing an individual into an unmarked vehicle with covered plates. Even more alarming: footage shows a goon shoving a teenager to the ground.

JUST IN: Despite expressing "significant misigivings," Judge Sooknanan approves a settlement between the SEC and Elon Musk's trust over violations in his acquisition of Twitter. She says it's up to voters to decide whether the settlement is legit. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

I think if you needed any more evidence that the cuts are shortsighted and focused on cutting as deep and as fast as possible with little regard for the future, this is pretty definitive. That engine felt like magic in some spots. A colossal waste of talent and resources.

🚨 Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was fatally shot by ICE officers during what federal officials described as a targeted enforcement operation. His son says his father was on his way to work when it happened. Rep. Sylvia Garcia is calling for an independent investigation into the shooting: bit.ly/4aHxz48

𝗕𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚🚨 Donald Trump’s deranged ICE thugs have committed yet another extrajudicial murder. Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, a father from Mexico was brutally shot & murdered on Tuesday by #ICE & DHS is lying & using the same story to justify his murder as they did Renee Nicole Good's #ICELawlessness 🧵

Once upon a time there was a coffee drinker who saw a turd laid by a weasel who had been eating coffee berries and he thought, "you know what?" So scooped the poop, ground it up and brewed a cup. When he tasted it, he discovered it was amazingly strong and delicious. Bless that coffee experimenter!
