One thing some Democrats I’ve talked to miss is that when they call for all the ICE agents in Minneapolis to have body cameras record everyone they interact with it undermines the demand that the agents leave.
All people of good will must know the history of body cameras. Why did Democrats, consultant, and pundits push them as "police reform"? The truth is quite dark.

Trump's people at DHS are referencing here "Which Way, Western Man," a book by white supremacist William Gayley Simpson that was published by an American Neo-Nazi organization, the National Alliance. In the book, Simpson argued that Hitler was right and Jews must be killed.
Which way, American man? JOIN.ICE.GOV

Emphasizing again that to build the mass deportation machine you must first build the police state.
No, this Palantir database isn’t like the others. It will combine: -Tax filings -Student debt -Social Security -Bank accounts -Medical claims -Immigration status No previous database system has ever centralized this much personal info across various federal agencies.

The scope of fraud committed by for-profit insurance companies to deny coverage is breathtaking—likely dwarfing all recorded property crime combined—and yet “law enforcement” officials choose not to investigate or prosecute it with the tools of criminal law.

"..cop city does not attempt to eradicate or even comprehend underlying causes of crime, political unrest, or other social harms. Its presupposition is that social conflict cannot be eliminated; its fantasy is that it can be managed, however, by rapid tactical police deployment."
Thrilled to share my new article “Cop Cities Mock Cities,” published today in @LAReviewofBooks. I examine history of the mock-urban tactical training facility, while also explaining what it tells us about the contemporary political economy of cities. lareviewofbooks.org/article/…

What Israel has just done is, via *any* method, reckless. They blew up countless numbers of people who were driving (meaning cars out of control), shopping (your children are in the stroller standing behind him in the checkout line), et cetera. Indistinguishable from terrorism.

As information comes in about the exploding beepers in Lebanon, it seems now more likely than not to be implanted explosives, not a hack. Why? Too many consistent, very serious injuries. If it were overheated batteries exploding, you'd expect many more small fires & misfires.
