ICE Shot a Journalist and Threw Him in Detention. He's Approaching 300 Days

I don't think we should assume that there is a universal law of gravity that will automatically swing this pendulum in other direction.

This country is owned by the super rich, it is over. 241 years of the US constitution was a nice run. Too bad the courts allowed this to happen.

very naive

it will take a CENTURY to rebuild the US just from what they've done to this point, imagine two more years

every part of government now has been corrupted to the point where all you need is the next Heritage Foundation pick in place (JD) and it all keeps going on exactly like now, maybe even worse once they see they've gotten away with it

if the Dems don't get the Senate the Supreme Court will become unstoppable

btw only full impeachment will get his name off everything, even then maybe not everything, and there is still the existing corruption in place to sabotage even more on the way out

those last few months November 2028 - February 2029 are going to be 100x worse than anything we've seen to this point, they will burn it all the ground, hopefully not literally

If Trump dies, Vance becomes president. If Vance dies, Mike Johnson becomes president. What do you know about those people that I don't that convinces you the hammer will come down once Trump is dead?

Ah yes, the famously fair, famously well thought out "witch hunt for thee, but not for me".

How about acknowledgement that there was a reason these people got elected and the addressing of grievances that brought that about. Problems heard and addressed.

even just reading the article the left-lean/bias is clear here.

The Intercept is not far-left, they are Blob-aligned via Pierre Omidyar.

Reading this meter you linked from AllSides, it appears that the main purpose of that meter is to enforce the boundaries of the Overton window using faux-objectivity as a cover.

Some general advice that probably works around the world is, if you're present in a country illegally, don't go out of your way to seek out immigration enforcement officials to record them for TikTok.

Nothing in the article refutes the assertion that Carlitos Ricardo Parias has been in the country illegally for 2+ decades, so it's not surprising that he's detained by ICE pending deportation. The Intercept refers to him as a "journalist" though all I can verify is that has a large TikTok following.

The Intercept's editorial comment calling ramming ICE SUVs "a meaningless move in a small car physically pinned by multiple large SUVs" is laughable and destroys any notion one might have that they have journalistic integrity. I think in any country, when surrounded by police, if you ram police vehicles rather than stopping and raising your hands, you'll be in trouble. While him getting shot in the elbow is a great example of police ineptitude, I guess we've just gotten used to that.

There are plenty of things to complain about regarding ICE behavior, but detaining someone who's in the country illegally isn't one of them.

Have you seen our prison system? Everyone who's actually "done something" about it is either dead, spent time in supermax, or is headed to supermax.

There are two realities at the moment: the everyday culture that really hasn't changed all that much, and a federal dog-and-pony circus act that roams around the country doing crazy stuff. The vast majority of people have no interaction with the circus. For them, everything is normal and these news stories are an aberration. If they watch the news, they assume there is some larger story that they aren't being told. So the circus continues like a bad sitcom, nobody caring enough to actually do anything about it because they aren't really sure whether it is real.
