      Whoa! Whoa. Everyone calm down. It’s OK. He’s allowed to break the law to harm the vulnerable. He’s a conservative.

      I filed a police report against them and got taken down by 2 dozen cops who shut down three square blocks to do so and ransacked my place. Spent two days in solitary before seeing a judge who, none the wiser of what LAPD had done, wiped my entire criminal record clean. LA cops, lawyers, and more were dog whistling their support, informing about new surveillance intricacies and how to proceed without raising alarms. They didn’t want to, but said they had to follow up to satisfy the little Hitlers.

      Garland’s new policy on political threats, I think, is a major blow to conservatives, because they are more prone to self incrimination, impulsive escalation, and emotional reasoning. The fact it’s now a felony is a big deal; they are being brought to heel; it’s realpolitiks and I’m here for it. I know a man in New York got pinched yesterday for threatening MTG, but people with no priors used to be really powerful. Now, not so much.

      Abbott and Desantis are cutting off the nose to spite the face and each stunt is just another truckload of evidence–sometimes literally. Tying the misleading brochures to the leaders is critical. Conservatives also are unaware of how far reaching digital forensics can be. If you think the repudiation of fascism will end with the downfall of MAGA, you’ve got another thing coming. And it’s going to look a lot like Nuremberg.

      For it to be kidnapping it’d have to be against their will. Since they’re illegally in the country, it’s human trafficking, but unlikely to be kidnapping.

      The decision, since they were already caught, is either “you’re being deported to Mexico” or “you can go to LA, a sanctuary city where you can not be deported”

      Again, it’s human trafficking for sure… But without more information it’s tough to say kidnapping.

        Yeah the pearl clutching is hilarious. It doesn’t really make sense for the states not directly affected by illegal immigration to force the states against it to accept and house them. Between the only two options (back to Mexico or free bus ride to a sanctuary city), this seems like the better of the two options.

        Shit, it’s not like California isn’t the best place out of the three options. No immigrants want to go to Texas where they know they’ll be hated, they just want to leave Mexico.
