FBI arrests judge in escalation of Trump immigration enforcement effort

Reply in thread

People are likely willing to hear you out, but you haven't exactly made a point to hear out.

What details do you find unclear? From what I've read, the judge notified ICE that they didn't have a valid judicial warrant to arrest their target. After that, the judge allowed ICE's target to leave the courthouse, presumably because the immigrant was not required to comply.

There's a growing pattern of ICE attempting to take advantage of people's lack of ability to identify a judicial warrant to pressure them into compliance and/or arrest. I think it's reasonable to caution anyone that has to interact with any agency that's known to be shady.

YSK in the U.S., you can buy produce directly from black farmers and they will ship it to you. It can cost less than your supermarket and will piss off people in power.

You could try researching CSAs in your area. There are a few near me that sell farm shares with weekly pickup of seasonal veggies during harvest season. I'm in northern California, and our rate is under $20 per week after we split it with another couple. We usually receive more veggies than we would buy during a weekly grocery store trip, plus our farm let's everyone pick fresh bouquets each pickup as a nice bonus.

Can I remove this pipe coming out of my lawn?

I'd take a trip to the local septic permitting agency and see if I could get copies of the permit and approved septic system design/as-built site plans. The inspector will probably be able to tell you if you need it or not.

It might be a vent for the leach field although that's not common where I'm from. I guess it could also be a marker for a distribution box or some other system component.

JD Vance Called Out Over Lie About His Mama's Addiction

Dude, the '96 Immigration Act went into effect right around the same time his mama was arrested for stealing drugs from her work. We've tried this shit already and it doesn't work.

But sure, focus on "hurting the right people" instead of actually supporting orphaned kids or those suffering from addiction. I know he's dog whisting, but come the fuck on. We desperately need to fund public education to counter the indoctrinated fear held by people that still eat this shit up.

They don't exist, JD, and if they did they're sure as fuck aren't censoring you considering I can read this bullshit.
