Monday Stuff
Katy Tur of MS NOW informs us of yet another horror show from the ICE criminals, and that is the news that 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was snatched in order to grab his father, then both were abducted and sent to a detention center in Texas (I know I alluded to this yesterday)...is it even worth it at this point to note that the family had an active asylum case and had entered this country legally (I mean, yes, I know that matters to sane, rational people, which automatically precludes anyone from our ruling regime...more here and here)...can’t think of a word for the disgust about how our government is trying to terrorize communities to the point where this ICE garbage could ever be considered normal, which it DEFINITELY IS NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES ("how is a five-year-old dangerous?" indeed)...by the way, there are some truly hideous trolls in the YouTube comment thread for this video, if you want to subject yourself to that for some reason...
...and Jonathan Montpetit of the CBC tells us how ICE is recruiting neanderthals online to terrorize communities, mainly by going to the far right fever swamps, using memes such as, “Which way, American man?” which is a pretty goddamn loud dog whistle IMHO...and oh yeah, “America for Americans” is about as subtle as a kick in the teeth also...and references to “The Flood” do indeed come from the Halo video game (and posting “banger memes,” huh? Doesn’t make you any less of a criminal as far as I’m concerned...and $30 billion by the end of the decade for ICE? Wonder how many dead civilians THAT will cost?)...
...well, for a bit of good news on this subject, Farron Cousins informs us that Lehigh County in our beloved commonwealth apparently evicted ICE from their field offices because they owe $100K in back rent (sweet)...this is even more idiotic when you consider their ridiculously beyond-bloated budget as already noted; they’re the last government agency under our criminal regime that should have to beg for dough, but it sounds like it wouldn’t matter even if ICE DID pay, so kudos to Lehigh County for that...definitely a good idea from Cousins about how to use the ICE back rent dough the RIGHT way (mildly NSFW/H)...
...and zeroing in on Philly, Jesse Dollemore tells us that our cretinous, thuggish ruling regime tore down plaques and markers depicting/referencing slavery around Independence Hall and the President's House...no disrespect to Jesse, but as far as I’m concerned, the question of whether or not the executive branch of our government is racist or not was settled LONG AGO...as far as Cantaloupe Capone is concerned, recalling our racist past is somehow ”disparaging,” to conservative white suburban boomers I guess with sensitive fee fees...and yeah, I think “Nazi sh*t” sums it up pretty well...I would love to see the guys who ripped down those exhibits get doxxed, since I think they deserve that at a minimum...I’d forgotten about the story of how George Washington came to have wooden teeth...much to atone for in our history as far as I’m concerned (and by the way, for the record, John Adams did not own slaves) (NSFW/H)...
...and I thought this was a pretty spot-on commentary from Ali Velshi in response to the killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti and how we can honor them...Velshi is about 150 percent right that the old norms of granting the federal government the benefit of the doubt are gone; what matters for our ruling regime of monsters is to give cover for the ICE Gestapo above all else; ”pattern and practice” indeed...Velshi is also spot-on in saying that we have to give witness as we can to the carnage taking place around us and do what we can to combat it...
...and be careful trying to get rid of the snow; I’m actually shocked to report that it looks like our alleged weather geniuses were actually right about the amounts of accumulation – definitely not worth it to risk injury trying to shovel yourself out.
