He wasn't just an asylum seeker. Paktyawal was an Afghan special forces soldier who worked with the U.S. Army's 3rd Special Forces Group. He was evacuated on August 30, 2021, entered the U.S. legally and had a pending case with a work permit and social security number. Killed by ICE maggots.

Amid growing calls for the abolition of ICE, Rep. Delia Ramirez is calling for the entire DHS to be dismantled. Highlighting how much experience the officers who killed Renee Good and Alex Pretti had, Ramirez said, “DHS was built to violate our rights and has been empowered to act with impunity.”

After being held in two of them as a boy, I fought for decades urging America to never again build concentration camps and put human beings in them. It breaks my heart to watch this happen twice now in my own lifetime.

Calling protest “lawlessness,” faith communities “mobs,” and local governance “obstruction” is how they justify overreach. We see it for what it is. Minnesota does not need permission to protect its people, its rights, or its democracy.

“What the heck’s the commissioner of Social Security?" That's a real question from Frank Bisignano...the commissioner of Social Security. Millions of Americans depend on Social Security. They should be able to trust that the head of the agency even knows what the job is.

If you watch only one example of woke Disney propaganda this weekend, I'm recommending Star Wars: Tales of the JEDI, episode 6, "Resolve" It's probably better if you watch the first five episodes too (episodes run between 13 and 19 minutes) but this stands on its own.

Dear The Banks, If your website to which I multi-factor authenticated at the beginning of paying my bills times me out before I'm done paying my bills, you're not trying to protect my privacy or keep my account secure. Your motives are far more self-serving. Do better. Sincerely, Actual Humans

Is everyone else entertaining thoughts of printing hard copies of social media content that will demonstrate to historians that the resistance was legitimate that will persist after the oligarchs delete the Internet?

Time to fix campaign finance rules. Eliminate 100% of corporate contributions. Encourage the development of more political parties. Ensure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity.
