If Juan Tobay Robles isn't released when Todd Lyons comes to court, Judge Schiltz should throw his ass in the slammer immediately. Contempt of court can't be tolerated. Hennepin County jail will be just fine. And make sure that everyone in the jail knows why he is there.
Think of how much we've normalized and accepted in this past year, who would have thought that we'd be negotiating how much storm troop behavior we are willing to justify legally and tolerate? When Kamala said this will happen, people thought she was fear mongering.
“ICE recruits don’t get that $50,000 bonus at signup, the government is not dumb. The money is a pre-tax amount broken into payments over four years, and if you drop out before two years, you have to pay the bonuses back, and still owe the income taxes.”
Yep. That’s why they are so desperate to arrest anyone they can. They have to meet quotas or they can get fired and they also get abduction bonuses. They are mostly making 20 bucks and hour and I bet reimbursement for hotels and gas and other expenses is a nightmare of red tape. I bet they barely break even. I also think there is a hierarchy of ICE goons where they form alliances to help boost their chances to make abductions. They’re all battling eachother for dollars. That’s why it’s all such a mess.
That’s why they are often seen stealing shit. I still think the guy in the gray coat with Pretti’s initial intent was to steal and sell the gun.
“…which would you rather: Join ranks with the goons who keep firing off multiple rounds of rubber and metal bullets and gas in close proximity to your face, or live an honest life selling your butthole on OnlyFans?”
I’m not sure it’s an either-or choice here…but if those were my options my pink pucker would be on full display. (Sorry for that visual…)
The press is failing us again. Alongside their helpful articles about how to live without any money, they need to add in some tips about how to survive attacks by Nazi Brown Shirts in a police state. Get hip to Trump's America, media.
I'd love to have some tips about how to survive attacks from Nazi Brown Shirts in a police state.
I fly home from Orlando tomorrow, so such info may come in handy.
My operating thesis to this point is to 1) hide, b) run like a mofo, 3) carry a whistle at all times, D) maybe buy and install a GoPro to mount on the dashboard of my car and wear like Flava Flav's alarm clock everywhere I go, connected to my cell phone data to stream to cloud storage.
I grew up in the sticks in a cold place where the power goes out, so I already hoard non-perishables.
A "10 Weird Tricks To Survive A Death-Squad Attack" listicle would be super-handy.
The fourth estate has failed the American people entirely. Only a select FEW independent new sites may be trusted to report appropriately verified, emperical truths on a timely basis.
"The fourth estate has failed the American people entirely."
Because people didn't want to listen to those of us practically yelling "the antitrust laws are weak and their enforcement needs shoring up" when White billionaires were gobbling up all the mainstream media
People were telling us to "shut up" because it was "fine"
"The US dollar stabilized on Wednesday after sliding to its lowest level in nearly four years as President Trump shrugged off concerns of an easing greenback."
Let me tell you something about criminals. This is based on experience based on a life on the fringe of law enforcement. Arresting criminals doesn’t stop them from doing it. They do what they know how to do. Fact that they know that what they know how to do is self destructive doesn’t give them an option if that’s the only thing they know how to do.
Sorry - you don’t get to play the Blame the Black Woman Game without defining terms first
White people don’t ever want to consider the possibility they’ve fully misinterpreted the actual meaning of what Forever FLOTUS said, even when they quote her verbatim
“22,000 people […] does not seem like enough to keep up the pace of terror on a population of 341 million”
It is not. The military have a rule of thumb: for an occupation to be successful, you need one soldier for every 40 residents. So they’d need to enlist at least 8 million ICE goons.
And their goal to deport 10,000,000 people total; 1 Million per year, would take a decade if they were even close to their goals.
They're not even close to their goals.
They bragged last week of having kidnapped 3,000 people in the Twin Cities since the first week of December, using 15% of their total nationwide personnel. So, if we're to be generous, 6 weeks. 500 arrests per week on average. No confirmation as to whether they were actually deported, or just kidnapped, of course.
So 500 people per week? There are 52 weeks in a year. At that rate, they'd deport 26,000 people, using 15% of their resources.
Divide 26,000 by 0.15, if they used ALL 100% of their personnel, at that rate they'd arrest 173,333 people in a full year.
Not 1,000,000. Not even close.
Somebody working for Noem must have a calculator function on their laptop. So the next time she went on camera, she said they'd arrested 10,000 people in the Twin Cities since early December.
So, pretending we don't know she's a pathological liar, multiply 173,333 x 3.33.
577,200. More than halfway to their goal.
But that's with paramilitary death squad saturation tactics. And accepting their lies. And assuming that they're actually deported all the people they kidnap, which we know they're not. And knowing that they've included in their numbers people already in jail or prison, transferred to them by state and local law enforcement. And we have to consider that they've caught all the easy targets; now people are hiding, vengeful racist neighbor tips must have been used up, etc. Diminishing returns set in with a vengeance.
This entire thing is an abject failure, except to terrorize and enrage Americans, and to do as much damage to civil society in a major American metropolis.
So maybe that's their real intention? Because they've fallen flat on their face with their stated objectives.
Guys! “Their goal” is to preserve the content. They run out of content, or at least this content, they’ll have to find some other content. So they’re cool working this seam for the next ten years.
Seriously, how often do we have to remind ourselves that the gop controls all three branches. If the gop wanted to resolve the issue of illegal immigration the gop would have the power to do it. But the gop doesn’t want to solve the issue; the gop wants to preserve the issue to keep the base riled.
Also too, the gop wants us to know that we cannot stop the gop so we might as well give up.
They'll never hit their goal. I've seen the videos: it takes a half a dozen of them to snag one person.
Maybe I'm crazy but it seems to me like the way Obama and Biden handled this was more effective and a lot more efficient, but they didn't provide any white supremacist wank videos.
I'm much more concerned about them molding our vast military industrial complex in their image.
Frankly, that is currently happening. We've got to keep the pressure from abolish ICE/Minnesota on them (Reps and MEDIA that can be swayed by pressure). There's still plenty of impeachment to go around as well as prison time for these fucks. Bovine also better not just get to retire with no punishment

They released Mr. Robles yesterday, so Lyons get off scot-free, with impunity for his criminal behavior.

Maybe Bari's UBS News can give some - "The More You Know" or "Schoolhouse Rock" to give us advice about surviving ICE CPB encounters?
They're not going to do that because they're owned by White billionaires who don't want you to see the truth
To learn those things, you're going to have to learn to listen to Black people and let Black people lead
and I don't mean "push them to the front of the protest like sacrificial lambs", either
Tough medicine for White progressives, but that's the choice

Yeah.
I listen a lot to WMNF, which is out of Tampa. They have a lot of independent shows.
Pacifica Network still have stations, and they carry a lot of independent talk and shows as well.
There's also NPR.
The press? Yah mean TV? You Tube? Those blogs?
We don’t have “the press” any more. We have entertainment. That “press shit doesn’t do anything for ratings.
The press cares only about shareholders.
It wasn't always like that
People didn't pay attention to those of us trying to tell them why the trajectory was bad
But it would be really great if people now stopped for a minute and thought about how it got like that, since it wasn't always like that

Until they start arresting these criminals for defying law, they’re gonna keep on doing it. Let’s see if that (ever) happens.
