At the eve of the summer solstice, I pick seven different flowers, in seven different fields, all in complete silence. I tie them into a bouquet and put it under my pillow. Doing so means that tonight, I will dream of my true love. I already live with her, but I like dreaming of her too.

His actual policies are the far bigger concern, but it still blows me away that the President of the United States posts literal shit like this and Americans are just like yeah, that's what our elected leaders do now, it's fine.

They incarcerated a white, retired British grandmother with a valid visa. For 2 months. I'm glad this article gets into what most don't: Even if you manage to get released, that's 2 months of not paying your bills. Her credit was wrecked. She's retired - younger folks would have lost their jobs.

The decline of right wing cultural production is just due to the fact that they don’t like culture, they like the signifiers of culture, ie “classic sculpture means white people are better.” They don’t like art at all except for this purpose. They don’t even like the nerd stuff they whine about

CCTV footage appears to show DHS agents posing as people having car trouble in order to lure a target out of his house before arresting them. The target comes out and starts helping them before 3 vehicles surround the scene. The car "experiencing" trouble then drives off with them.

Metry and her husband of 4 years go to DHS to get their I-130 in motion. "Good news" a DHS employee told them, the form to start her naturalization was approved. DHS employee asks the husband to follow him through a secure door. When it locks behind him, ICE detains his wife to deport her.

EXCLUSIVE: Terez Metry was 13 when her family fled to Tennessee from Egypt in 2011. Then, they left her behind. She only recently discovered she had an order of removal from 2011. But she was following the legal path to citizenship. On Monday, at a routine DHS meeting, Metry was detained.

How am I only now learning about the Canadian mint employee who stole gold by smuggling it in his rectum? (and more importantly, only now learning that Ontario has a Justice Doody, who oversaw the man's trial.)

He was convicted, had to give the ass nuggets back, and has since been released. There's a dude on LinkedIn who shares the offender's name, and advertises himself as a "Procurement Specialist" with a "diverse" background in logistics. I dunno if it's the same guy, but if it is, that's hilarious.

I've been sent video from the end of the ICE raid at the Zipps on 32nd and Shea. It shows protesters -- on the sidewalk, impeding no one -- getting drive-by maced by an ICE agent from a truck as it rolls away down the road. Hard to see how such tactics are justifiable.

Ah, yes, when DHS said medics on the scene provided aid, they meant that a pediatrician bystander had to convince them to let him assess the man they shot, and on whom they were not performing first aid.

Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti. "Please get the truth out about our son."

Colin Dellow reposted

Alex Pretti’s last words were “are you ok?” said the woman next to him who ICE also pepper sprayed in the face.

He is pepper sprayed, brought to ground by several agents, beaten in the head, and then shot several times. He is a nurse. DHS says he "wanted to do maximum damage and massacre law enforcement". I hope Americans will understand what their country is becoming before it is too late.

UPDATE: @dropsitenews.com has obtained the very graphic video from the lady in the pink coat, which shows ICE executing yet another person in broad daylight:
